Sitara Charity Fashion Show: In Review
There’s a lot of talk about fashion around February in St Andrews, and the amount of fashion shows that happen within the season. It can be a bit overwhelming to look through them all, but after sifting through, there was one that stood out to me: Sitara. Their website promised that they could transverse […]
DRAFP Ball: In Review
Photo Courtesy of Amanda MacEachen (DRA Ball x Lightbox) The first two months of the Candlemas semester can be, to be blunt, kind of brutal: it’s still the usual cold Scottish weather and the sun is still setting before a reasonable time. The promise of a winter break and the festivities of Christmas and the […]
Christmas Ball
Everybody knows the last couple weeks of November in St Andrews are rough. It’s cold, it’s dark, it’s windy and your calendar is filling with deadlines for coursework you’re yet to start. If only there was some kind of event you could look forward to which would relieve you (temporarily albeit) from the turmoil! Fear […]
Catwalk Launch Party: Newstalgia
Newstalgia. Not a typo – the latest approach to fashion, by St Andrew’s CATWALK Fashion Show. Imagine scuffed docs, grunge, flip phones, scattered cd’s, anything black goes.

Welly Ball Afterparty
Remember remember the 5th of November… when I ate the best pizza I have ever had, slipped over in my (borrowed) Welly’s seven times, and was home by one with no blisters. The Welly Ball Afterparty. The sheer mass of people who attended underscores that this event is one of the biggest events on the […]

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 1 & 2 – ATTACK OF THE FIFTY-FOOT HAPPY MEAL TOYS
This week, Morgan reviews the first two Five Nights at Freddy’s games, it having seemed like a good idea at the time Does the world still feel the after-effects of 2020 and thus adopted the mindset that it’s in fact six years earlier? I mean, 2014 was fine, I suppose, provided I don’t look at […]
NEW SUPER MARIO BROS WII – IT’S A-ME, THE DEVELOPER MANDATE
This week, Morgan reviews New Super Mario Bros Wii. There was meant to be a joke here, but it was forgotten in the time it took to get the title down. Is it kosher to compare the Mario series to the final days of Jesus Christ? Nintendo can publicly execute both him and his image […]
Red (Taylors Version) Review
The year is 2012, Taylor Swift has just released her pop/country crossover album ‘Red’, and Jake Gyllenhaal is public enemy no.1. The first release of the album was met with both critical and public acclaim, reflected in impressive record sales and chart positioning. Today nearly 10 years on, in what feels like a revival of […]

This week, Morgan reviews Batman: Arkham Asylum, in order to postpone the horror of having to get an actual job Hello, national St Andrews’ audience. Just your daily reminder that I’m a Batman fan and would be willing to kill if it meant I got the chance to bring Bob Kane back from the grave […]
John Wyndham and Dystopian Fiction
I have said this many times before but I really love dystopian fiction. From ‘The War of the Worlds’ to the ‘Time Machine’, I’ve always enjoyed reading about a twisted dark future for humanity. Although I’m an optimist I’m intrigued to read other people’s ideas about it. Without a doubt, my favourite dystopian author is […]
