Most days, I wake up early for the gym or a walk around Loughborough. I then make my way to the geography foyer to do some independent work. I use the geography foyer as my main study area. I then go to lectures and labs when timetabled. During my independent studies in the foyer, I do reading, note making, coursework, and any other tasks. The geography foyer is a great place to work as you can meet with course mates to work on things together if needed. There are usually staff passing by to support and have a chat with you too, so you don’t feel too isolated.
I plan to take a year out where I will travel, volunteer, and apply for graduate jobs in water companies or as an environmental consultant. After a couple years of working in industry, I plan on doing a PhD on ecotoxicology.
