Sometimes, I need to catch up on work from last week\u2019s SPS lectures and seminars, so I do this on a Monday morning when I don\u2019t have anything on. If not, I\u2019ll either do some pre-reading for the new content this week, or I\u2019ll do some chores around the house to get them out of the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, I have a lecture for my Politics module in Alcuin college. This gives me a chance to catch up with my friends in Politics. The lecture only lasts for an hour, so after that I usually go home and start the seminar prep for that module. I like to get started with seminar prep when the lecture is fresh in my mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tuesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesdays, I have a couple of lectures in the morning on Campus West. I\u2019m not a morning person, but luckily, I don\u2019t have to do anything except bring my laptop with me to make notes during the lecture! They are all recorded online too, so on those days when I\u2019m not feeling it, I can just catch up whenever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lectures I have today are on two completely different subjects, both of which I picked \u2013 Ethics and Social Research Methods. This means I\u2019ve been able to meet a completely different bunch of people, and also see some familiar faces I had lectures with last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday is also when my Social Policy lecturer has their office hours. So, I have the opportunity to go and clarify points I wasn\u2019t sure about from the lecture. Being a part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/sps\/undergraduate\/\">several subjects as an SPS student<\/a> means I get to access the office hours of lots of different lecturers. There\u2019s lots of support available, and chances are I\u2019ll be able to speak to someone on any weekday. Office hours are really useful, especially in the run-up to exams and essay deadlines!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesdays are usually fairly quiet, as most people have the afternoon off for sports. I have a sociology lecture in the morning on Campus East \u2013 my final lecture of the week. Being based on both campuses means I get to see different parts of the University, and get to know the area a bit better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once I\u2019m done with my lecture, I usually head back home and get started on some seminar prep and reading for my seminars tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?resize=454%2C255\" alt=\"Having lectures and seminars on both campuses means I get to explore more of Heslington and the surrounding area!\" class=\"wp-image-9750\" width=\"454\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/02\/Heslington-Hall.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heslington Hall on the University of York campus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thursday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday is the busiest day of the week for me! I have three seminars for three different modules. My 9am is in Church Lane, the new base for SPS and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.york.ac.uk\/management\/\">University of York Management School<\/a>, which opened at the start of the Autumn Term. After the seminar, I usually stay here until my next one because Church Lane has a caf\u00e9 and lots of study spaces to work in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">After my other seminars, I usually stay on campus to prepare for tomorrow\u2019s seminar. There\u2019s also a Q&amp;A with Philosophy in the evening with the author of a book we\u2019re studying in my Ethics module \u2013 drinks and nibbles included! This is a great opportunity to catch up with my Philosophy friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"12912\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/UoY_Facilities-Church-Lane-Building_April-2021-Alex-Holland-5-min.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The new Church Lane Building &#8211; where the school of SPS is now based<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Web-Standard-image-SBS-Church-Lane-Building-November-2022-Alex-Holland-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"12694\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Web-Standard-image-SBS-Church-Lane-Building-November-2022-Alex-Holland-3.jpg?resize=800%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Web-Standard-image-SBS-Church-Lane-Building-November-2022-Alex-Holland-3.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Web-Standard-image-SBS-Church-Lane-Building-November-2022-Alex-Holland-3.jpg?resize=300%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.york.ac.uk\/student-voices\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/Web-Standard-image-SBS-Church-Lane-Building-November-2022-Alex-Holland-3.jpg?resize=768%2C384&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the many study spaces in Church Lane!

I\u2019m back on East Campus at 9:30am today. Once that\u2019s over, I usually catch up on any work and look over everything I\u2019ve covered over the last few days. This week, I\u2019ve also got a feedback session with Philosophy for an essay plan I wrote. These one-to-one sessions are a great way to learn how to improve my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s it for work this week \u2013 Friday is usually quite a free day for me, so now I get to go and have some time with my housemates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Saturday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m planning to do a work placement next year, so on Saturdays I usually continue applying and searching for roles. Being an SPS student means I can apply for lots of different roles in different sectors like media, politics and business because my course is so flexible. I\u2019ve also covered lots of different things over the last two years in modules, which helps me to tailor my applications to each position!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sunday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunday is usually a day off from uni, unless I\u2019m working on an essay or exam.

I\u2019m Iona, and I\u2019m a second year Social and Political Sciences with Philosophy student at the University of York. I\u2019ve loved my time here so far, and I wanted to share what it\u2019s like being part of the SPS department. When I began my degree, I didn\u2019t realise just how diverse my studies would be, and how many opportunities I would have. From picking a variety of modules I find really interesting to making friends in lots of different departments, life as an SPS student has a lot to offer. It\u2019s going to be hard to write about an average week in the SPS department, since each week is so different, but I\u2019ll give it a go! I\u2019ve had a look back at my timetable and in this blog post I&#8217;m going to give a rough idea of the kind of things I\u2019ve got up
