Artist of the Month: Waterhouse
This month’s artist is John William Waterhouse purely because I think that everyone deserves some nice, peaceful, stress-free art after exams. At the current time of writing this article, I have just finished and submitted my Art History paper so I, for one, am in the mood for something beautiful. Waterhouse was a member of […]
The “Time Well Wasted” Video Game Roundup (2020-2021)
Morgan delivers his final judgements on the games he’s reviewed this academic year, just to cram it down your throat one last time. If there’s one thing popular review series have taught me, it’s that you can’t end the year (or in this case, the academic year) without some sort of list detailing the best […]
The Tales Our Clothes Tell: Part 1
I have always been fascinated by other people’s stories. I am enthralled and interested to hear people’s different life experiences. I assumed everyone was like that- it was such a natural and significant part of me that I truly believed that’s how other people saw the world. I still don’t think I completely understand that […]
Summer Studying: The Library Books You Should Be Reading This Summer
Right now, I’m sure many of us never want to read another book from the university library again. I get it. After spending weeks staring at a screen and now being in the middle of frantic essay writing, I cannot wait for the chance to switch off over summer. However, university is an investment, one […]
The Next Summer of Love?
It’s been more than year since we’ve experienced summer festivals filled with live music, face paint, and muddy boots. Now there’s hope that festivals such as TRNSMT could return in September 2021. Some are anticipating that the return of nationwide festivals will create a Third Summer of Love. So, I wonder, could the return of […]
5 Books to Pick Up on Your Days off This Summer
Exams are upon us and summer break is rapidly approaching, which means everybody’s minds are occupied by thoughts of studying and the plans that await them the moment that studying is over, or, just the fun plans if you’re being honest with yourself. Despite the promise of open bars and live concerts, it’s been a […]
DEATH ROAD TO CANADA – “ARE WE THERE YET?”
This week, Morgan further plans for the zombie apocalypse via video game, despite the fact that he would no doubt be the first one to die. I’m tired of this, Steam. You tease good games, then try to pawn them off for full price when I can get them for at least half the cost […]
The Joy of Reading
I’m not a bookworm-since-childhood bibliophile. Fun fact: I didn’t know the proper way of reading books (and it’s so silly) because I’d read the same row of words on both pages before moving to the next row on the left page and start over again. After that, I couldn’t take up a book the same […]
Rom-Com Recommendations
I’ve always loved rom-coms and I’m too embarrassed to admit just how many of them I’ve seen. They’re funny, light-hearted and they don’t take themselves too seriously much like myself. And to be honest if I were to be trapped in a rom-com like Isn’t it Romantic you wouldn’t find me complaining! Far from it. All that singing and those silly romantic conundrums sound like a blast! So, I’ve narrowed down the list of rom-coms to my top four so […]
Doom Eternal – And an Article Full of Animal Similes
This week, Morgan willingly plays Doom Eternal, as his fragile ego has been threatened and he needs to feel better about himself Anyone remember March 2020? Yeah, that was wild, wasn’t it? It marked an earth-shattering event that has shaped society for the entire twelve months since: Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal, two of the […]
The Surprising Success of WandaVision
Coming off the back of Avengers Endgame, Marvel Studies took a swift change of directions, departing for a list of Disney + projects that attempted to interplay the realm of cinema to the small screen of television and distancing itself from the range of branded productions that dominated Netflix queues for years. It’s safe to […]
Off the Beaten Track: Elgin
Elgin is a historic town dating back to the 12th century roughly a 1-hour drive from Inverness. In many ways, it is the heart of Moray and the rolling pastures which enshroud the south bank of the Moray Firth. Intimately involved in the real-life of MacBeth (before Shakespeare brought him fame) there is history everywhere […]
Netflix vs Amazon Prime – Which Is Better?
Gone are the days of buying a DVD or VHS from HMV or begging your parents to buy a paper view movie from Sky Box Office. As the Pandemic has progressed the more that Netflix and Amazon Prime have become a part of our lives. Everyone remembers the rise of “Tiger King” in March/April of […]
My Experience With the Covid Vaccine
On Thursday 25th of March, I received my first dose of the AstraZeneca covid vaccine. Upon walking into the community hospital I hadn’t really thought much of it, I was glad to be getting the opportunity to receive the vaccine as many people across the world will be waiting for significantly more time than me. […]

Fast fashion is a massive worldwide industry, dominating its sector both in terms of production and sales values. “Fast Fashion” can be defined as the production and marketing of very cheap clothing and in vast amounts. These clothes are often of poor quality, in some cases close to a wear once and throw away scenario. […]
