Being halfway through my final year has made me think a lot about what the future holds, but also about how much I will miss my time at University of Sheffield once it&#8217;s all over. Here\u2019s a few of my favourite memories.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most enjoyable parts of being a student in Sheffield was my first year in Endcliffe accommodation. My experience of being in student accommodation was that it was so much fun, and there was always something going on! I made some friends in first year who I have lived with through all of my university experience, and who I believe will stay my friends for life. Living in Endcliffe was a real highlight for me!<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight was the internship I did in the summer of my second <a href=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-849 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship-169x300.jpg 169w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship-768x1365.jpg 768w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship-576x1024.jpg 576w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship-1200x2133.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Internship.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 85vw, 169px\" \/><\/a>year at Barclays. During this time, I moved to London, got some real-life experience and made some great friends. I\u2019d recommend doing an internship if you get the chance, it allows you to see what areas you enjoy the most and build your CV without having to commit to much time to doing so. You can read more about my internship and my experience <a href=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/barclays-internship\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Working alongside my studies was another great opportunity. I worked in a small local coffee shop, but I made a host of friends and earned money whilst doing so! If you can balance your studies with working I would definitely recommend having a part time job. It means you don\u2019t have to live on such a strict student budget and can treat yourself now and again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-850\" src=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/mgt.dept.shef.ac.uk\/undergraduate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/James-friends.jpg 953w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 85vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>Being at university has been the best experience I\u2019ve ever had, with my top highlight being the friends I have made.
