Fortunately the weight of opinion came […]
By Sam Oshins Let’s be clear, Don’t Guac invited guests to gorge themselves on as much guacamole as they could for as long as they could stand. At first I thought this was too good to be true. Was this really going to be an event that encouraged maximum consumption of guacamole? Yes. Yes, it […]
Anyone at the Union at the start of the semester knows that it was extremely packed, thanks, in large part, to the closing acts of Refreshers and start of Rag Week: Mr Narstie, Chuck Inglish, and St. Michael. Chuck Inglish and St. Michael traveled from the US to grace the stage of Club 601 and […]
By Cassie Naimie To paint the picture: its 11:13pm on a Monday and I am currently sitting on a worn, red couch listening to my friend read off a list entitled “21 yahoo questions that are too horrifying to stop reading” and we are all laughing incessantly. Granted, not all on this list are funny. […]
By Marina Carnwath Following a year-long break, due to the reconstruction of the union, Catwalk returned to RAG week last weekend. Being held in 601, the event didn’t really have the same sense of glamorous hype surrounding it in the run up, but rather a sense of fun. The models walking down the cross-shaped runway […]
by Cassie Naimie Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. perceived as Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. encouraging, progressing, and pushing forward? Or halting, jarring, freezing the journey? It contains us. What we have created puts us in a box. It makes the infinite finite. Moments are created. How long do they last? As creators of time, we can […]
The Welly Ball After Party (where you might as well have worn a rain jacket too) By Anonymous The Welly Ball after party was a thrilling, three-fold challenge. At the start of the night, my friend and I arrived to a long queue of excited, chatty students outside Younger Hall, squirming in the light, drizzling […]
By Flora Rowe While revision may be bogging you down and the few hours of daylight draining your energy, the best thing about December exams is that the Christmas playlists can be brought out. Whether it’s an old school classic, love song or new number, these Christmas tunes should be able to bring a spring […]
The other day I was working on a paper in Starbucks and feeling incredibly festive. They were playing my favorite Christmas tunes and decorating the store for the upcoming holiday.

Mom: “Invite that cute guy to dinner with us.” Mom: “Did you do it? Hellllloooooo?” Me: “Not yet.” Mom: “Never mind. I asked.” Me: “What? How” Mom: “Just messaged him on the Facebook!” NOOO. My parents are coming to visit next week. For most people this would be quite exciting news. It has been a […]
I don’t want to brag, but when I was younger I was quite an actress. My roles included: chorus angel in our church’s annual Christmas show (in which all kids participated) and a fork in “Beauty and the Beast”. (Although my brother says that I spent more time on stage moving props than I did […]

A night in the life of two dysfunctional girls: 7PM: My flatmate messages me and asks if I want to have a chill wine and movie night. I think this sounds fabulous, as I haven’t slept much the last few nights. It’s like Netflix and Chill, but with my best friend. This means she’ll sit […]
