I wrote this about a month into my time here, when I was feeling like this. I decided to hold off posting it until now because UK university students don’t start term until around the end of September, so I felt it made more sense to post it now, in case anybody else was feeling this […]

If there’s one thing Sydney does well, and has in spades, it’s coastal and harbourside walks. I think I must have done about seven by now and they never fail to disappoint. Some of the walks just take you along the harbour and give you stunning views of the city skyline, feat. The Opera House […]

Even if you don’t know much about Australia, you’ve probably heard of the Outback – the arid and semi-arid deserts of Australia that take up 70% of the country. Living in Sydney, where it rained for days on end earlier this year, and having visited the world’s oldest rainforest in Queensland, it’s hard to believe […]

I think a lot of us are the same when it comes to a new academic year, and even a new semester. We all vow that we will never again leave something until the last minute, we will do extra reading throughout the semester, and we will be more organised. And on top of that […]

I’m back from my travels which is simultaneously a reason to celebrate and a reason to be sad. I’m happy because I no longer have to live out of a bag, I will be spending more than five nights in one place, and I can sleep again (oh my days, I have lost out on […]

Uni life is fun – you learn a lot, meet a lot of people, and make friends for the rest of your life. But it is not always painted in pink – hard moments have their place, too. Such a moment hit me the past week, when I have learnt, in my own […]

It’s now been exactly a week since I landed back in England, and I still don’t feel able to do a retrospective post about my year abroad. It would be difficult to put down in words exactly what the people I met and the experiences I’ve had mean to me, and I hope that doesn’t […]

Never mind how much I despise the use of statistics, the one that follows is one that I felt necessary to share. It is one that is at the heart of my studies within Women’s Law and Human Rights and one that arose during a conference I recently attended by the Canadian Embassy on forced […]

I’ve been back in university for two weeks. After a month at home for Christmas, it’s been difficult getting back into the swing of things. The start of term works differently here. I can’t speak for other departments, but in the Modern Languages department at Leicester you choose your modules for both semesters before the […]

So a while ago some of you may remember that I wrote a blog post about my experiences with mental health problems while on my year abroad. At the end of that post, and in the one after, I talked about my difficulties accessing on-campus psychological support and eventually how I found therapy. While I […]
