Escaping from Hertfordshire and a vast number of older siblings comes Toby.

While many would shun York in favour or more metropolitan areas, Toby finds he's happy here. Which is nice.

The Pull of Cricket
Toby considers the role of the media in the summer's Cricket furore.

The end of term
Toby muses on where his year has gone, Royal Ascot and household negotiations that may need to be taken to ACAS.

Holiday Blues
It's difficult to relax when you know you've got piles of essays and exams waiting for you once the Easter hols are over.

Election dilemmas
"I'm not apathetic and I'm keen to vote; but I'm not particularly drawn to any of the big three parties." Like many, politics student Toby is troubled with deciding who to vote for.

Meet Toby
Being a second year Philosophy and Politics student I feel like I should have some intelligent, witty or profound way of starting my student diary. But I don't so I'm just going to tell you some boring things about myself!
