The Post-Uni Slump

Experiencing the post uni slump? Don't worry, you're not alone

Written by Natasha Chanse

Winter is a time for hibernation and reflection. Once the Holiday season passes, your mornings turn from hangovers and painkillers to coffee and contemplation. The days become shorter, moods become solemn and you begin to eagerly anticipate Spring. This time around however, I have found myself reflecting backwards rather than looking forwards – thinking back on…

The light nights are fast approaching and Summer is almost on the horizon (keeping it optimistic here). For us and many others that means one thing – getting our summer reading list sorted! There’s only a handful of things better than sitting on the beach or at the park with a right good book and top of our list is “We’re Worried About Him” by Liam Gilliver.

How would you describe the book to…

LESS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, MORE REAL.

LESS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, MORE REAL.

Something important I’ve learned over the past year is the amazing ability to cut out the bullshit when you are straight-up with people.

It cuts out so so much wasted energy and built-up anger and really lets you spend more time being happy.

I think regarding romantic relationships especially this is really helpful. For years I was that girlfriend who’d get pissed off about any tiny thing,…

A Big List for Less Waste

A Big List for Less Waste

By Renata Funari

You know what’s really sad? The fact that we’re destroying our planet. I’ve been trying to live a little more sustainably over the past few years and I’ve decided to put together a list for anyone who is also daunted by the idea of the looming collapse of our ecosystems.

First and foremost I want to say that I did add Amazon links to many of these suggested items which I…

New Playlist; New Mood

New Playlist; New Mood

Why creating a new playlist can be the key to boosting your mood By Rachel McCallion

We all know that belting out your favourite songs in the shower is the kind of mood therapy you can’t pay for. It’s cathartic, it’s therapeutic and most of all, it’s completely personal to you. Your favourite songs might be someone else’s idea of hell, or a song that has sad connotations might remind you of a…

But I Like Drinking My Drink With A Straw

What big change have you made to your life in the passed year? If you can do that, you can start cleaning up your carbon footprint.

…But I also like having polar ice caps and non-strangled turtles?

You must have been living under a rock if you are not clued up on the environmental crisis that we as a civilisation face as a whole. Yes. A whole, we are all responsible. In 2015 the Paris climate agreement was signed and every country was fully on board – Including the US. The clear goal…

Acne, Acne... Go Away!

... And never come back! Adele Swordy gives us some little tricks on how to deal with the most common ( and annoying) skin condition, acne.

Due to large variety of adverts on skincare products, it can be very difficult knowing which ones are effective and which ones are a total waste of money. Then there’s also the wonder of ‘Has introducing all these products just made things worse? Is it better to use zero products, wear zero makeup and wash our face with classic soap and water?’

Previously suffering from pretty bad acne,…

Oh! You Met On Tinder

Yeah, you got a problem with that? People need to stop shaming relationships that started via social media...

Ah Yes! That dreaded question that majority of millennial couples seem to dread the most… “How did you both meet?”

It’s like the ‘in a relationship’ question equivalent to “So how’s your love life?” to a singleton.

And it’s that dreaded response of “we met on tinder” and that even more dreaded patronising response of “Oh! Really?”

Yes, REALLY! We met on Tinder. Ever so sorry we don’t have a big…

1 – It’s more ethical and dammit we need to save our sick planet.

2 – It’s good for your countries economy.

3 – You…

New Artist: Charmides

"We want to come to the north!" - New indie rock band on the scene, Charmides chats music and tour.

2019 aims to be a year of more music and touring for London based band, Charmides. Forming in a local Wetherspoons back in September 2017, the band explain that they were all best mates who all played instruments to some extent so it just made sense for them to start playing together. “Thinking about it we were probably a bit smashed at the time we committed to a first rehearsal but it was…
