2021 Isn’t Sitting Right With Me
Every year, I look forward to New Year’s Eve and the start of a new year. One reason why might be rooted in the year 2012, when people believed that the new year was going to be the end of the world. I remember vividly my relatives who traveled from across the world sitting with my […]

Art takes many forms and one of those forms is colouring. Art helps us understand who we are and how we see the world. Adult colouring books have become more popular in the last few years.

Half-Life 2 – Does It Hold Up?
This week, Morgan reviews Half-Life 2, in order to feel like he’s actually contributing to society. I’m really about to stumble into the lion enclosure here, aren’t I? It’s a shame I didn’t do this review back before Christmas; it would have been the ideal way to thin out my social circle fast and not […]
Is It Time for Attenborough to #PassTheMic?
When David Attenborough joined Instagram at the end of September last year, he reached one million followers faster than any other account in history. In fact, he reached 6.2 million with relative ease. But by the end of October, he announced his permanent departure from the platform. Attenborough’s decision is perfectly understandable.

Why We Need to Talk About Amy March
There are so many groups of characters, sisters out there that when watching a film, you are inclined to ask who you see yourself as. Are you a Donna, Tanya or a Rosie? Are you a Rachel, Phoebe or Monica? In the case of Louisa May Alcott’s classic story Little Women: are you a Jo, […]

The task at hand? To religiously consume unhealthy volumes of Japanese […]
Product Placement in Film
The hotly anticipated new edition of the James Bond franchise No Time to Die has been delayed once again until October 8, 2021. Is this due to the pandemic restrictions and fear that cinemas will not be open for a summer release? It looks more likely that the film has been delayed this time so the […]
Tattoos and Employment
I have recently gotten a bit of a tattoo addiction. I only have one tattoo at the moment but I have about six more that I am planning to get. I was talking about this with my family when my father reminded me that I should only get them in places I could hide easily […]
Which Language Should You Learn?
Learning a new language is beneficial for a multitude of reasons. A new tongue can transport you to other worlds, boost your CV, improve your communication skills, teach you about another culture and give you another perspective. Languages can help us to connect in a global and multicultural world. Ever since I could remember, I […]
Your Favourite Rom-Com – Outdated & Unattainable, or Harmless Fun?
Love them or loathe them, romantic comedies remain one of the most popular movie genres of the 21st century. The same love-struck, hopeless romantics appear on screen time and time again. The plots follow the same tried and tested formula and are for the most part light-hearted and often based on a preposterous premise. You […]
