Hey everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the festive period and had lots of fun catching up with friends and family.

I can’t believe it’s term 2 already and that my undergraduate journey at Lancaster is getting closer and closer to the end. How time flashes by at university!!

Term 2 is presenting me with a brand new set of modules to tackle. These are

• Public Economics (This focuses on the relationship between the economy and the government)
• International Trade
• Elections, Voters and Political Parties

I can’t wait to get working on these modules. I am particularly excited for Public Economics, as two modules I took in second year (Applied Economics and Economic Policy) are pretty similar to Public Economics, and those modules were two of my favourites. I am also super excited for my politics module on elections, as I find electoral voting behaviour a fascinating topic, and it is, of course, a crucial part of many political processes. Therefore, I find the need to have an understanding of the topic incredibly important.

I shall keep you updated over the term, as to how these modules are going along, in addition to some exciting events that are happening with the societies I am involved in. But for now, that is it from me. Speak to you soon..
