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 […]
by Cassie Naimie (Based on real life experiences) -ALWAYS HAVE A BUDDY: you may not know how important this is until you are stranded. Maybe you’ll run to the Glasgow Central train station post-concert only to discover that your train is actually leaving from Glasgow Queen St. Station. Then you and your friend will have […]
My floor is covered in a layer of dirt, sand, and foam. Empty Empire pizza boxes scatter the room. A concerning amount of alcohol bottles lay in my kitchen, and there’s a half eaten bagel in the center of the living room floor. I barely have the strength to roll out of my bed and […]

Last November I staggered to my flat, half-devoured Dominos in hand, hair askew, and a rainbow moustache stealthily drawn onto my face. What greeted me was quite a shock. It was eerily quiet when I walked up the stairs to my flat… too quiet. The door hung wide open displaying our American flag, numerous red […]

I woke up in my best guy friend’s bed wearing his t-shirt. Cheeky, I thought, as I could not perfectly recollect the night. Had our relationship taken a turn for the positive? He quickly reassured me that our friendship was intact, and he had let me borrow his clothes because I face planted into my […]
By Emil Bremnes Thorbjørn Olesen, who finished as runner-up four years ago, held his nerve to win the 2015 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, completing the tournament two shots ahead of Brooks Koepka and Chris Stroud. The Dane started the day with a three-shot lead, after putting together a magnificent seven-under par round of 65 at […]
One of the perks of being involved with student media is that you are exposed to an array of events, activities, and people. Sometimes I find myself in situations and have no idea how I have convinced people that I am important enough to be there. Most recently, I have been covering the Alfred Dunhill […]
by Annabel Romanos Before I write my first article in a series concerning my time at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2015, I would like to remind you all that as professional (some say) as I may seem: I have no knowledge of professional golf. Period. BUT, this means I get to report from a […]
Not long ago I made a horrible decision that is still haunting me. While in the midst of a heated argument with a moody, but sexy fifth year about the definitive ranking of greatest “Blink 182” songs, my friend asked if I’d like to accompany her to get some chicken nuggets from Empire. I declined, […]

by Annabel Romanos This one time at band camp… Just kidding—It was just a normal summer camp. Anyways, this one time at not-band camp, I fell in love. Not with a person, not with a cute lil animal, but with a thing—A thing called ‘responsibility’. As a photographer/counsellor, I was given more responsibility than I […]
Annabel Romanos The Waste Land: A Preview On a sunny afternoon I sat down with Laura Antone, producer of The Waste Land, in order to find out a little bit more about Mermaids’ first “performance” of the year. Antone was adamant that it was indeed a performance of T.S. Eliot’s famous poem, rather than a […]
By Kit Klaes Try not to be too impressed, but I’m writing this article in the library. That’s right- the library. Simmer down, fellas. In fact, I have spent more time here in the past three days than I have throughout my entire university career combined, which isn’t saying much. Now that it’s third year, […]
