It’s a been bit of a quiet and somewhat stressful week this week, everyone is starting to buckle down as the end of term approaches. It’s been a mainly research-based week for me this week, finding out as much as possible to make my essay the best it can be. I have managed to finish my International Business essay about risks faced by companies who operate in more countries around the world, so that’s a big relief.

 

To chill out, my housemates and I took some trips to the cinema to see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a great stress-reliever for us all and with it being only 10 minutes on the bus and tickets only £5, it’s a super easy and affordable way to enjoy yourself with your friends.

 

For Politics Society also, it’s been a great week. Last week, we had Dr. Richard Johnson deliver a lecture on racial polarisation partisanship in US politics. This is about the differences in voting between white and minority voters in their decision to vote Democrat or Republican. It was a fascinating lecture that was greatly enjoyed by the members who attended. Events such as these are some of my favourites as it allows our members to learn about areas of politics that they may not be able to fit into their degree scheme. We also hosted a pub quiz on Wednesday 21st November, which was a great break from work for everyone!

 

Hope you are all doing brilliantly and remember to take some time out for yourselves. See you next time,
