Choice
Choice. It’s a benefit of living in a Western democracy, that we have the ability to choose most aspects of our lives. And wouldn’t you agree Dear Reader, that we at Leeds University have a lot of choice and in general, plenty of good options. Whether it’s course modules, societies or nights out, there are [...]

Hair of the Dog My Arse
My turbulent relationship with alcohol began fairly early on in my drinking career, and has asserted itself ever since with a love-hate dynamic that never fails to realise itself the morning after. This week alone I have suffered two colossal hangovers, and it does not help that I am a hypochondriac with a penchant for [...]

Please
Please. Thank you. You’re welcome. These words are a few simple examples of manners and in my opinion, they are incredibly important words. I’m sure you’ve all heard and used them but I fear they may be lost in the near future if not already to some degree. It seems that too often, you hold [...]

Times They Are A-Changin’
Welcome back. Things have changed. We are now in 2012, the infamous year of our inevitably horrendous hosting of the Olympics, and The End of the World – lots to look forward to. By now, many of you will have battled your new years’ resolution demons and well and truly rid yourself of them, accepting [...]

Change
Change. The seasons have changed. The weather has changed to a winter chill and it’s nearly Christmas. Noel. The birth of Jesus Christ (if you are a believer, though apparently science says the only time a bright star could have been over Bethlehem would in fact have been April). Dear Reader, I promise this is [...]

We’re Having a Proper Crimbo
It is around about now that all you lucky rascals who are staying on in Leeds next year (of which I am not one, my time has come) are selecting the pals you will be living with and which you will be avoiding like the plague. If you want words of wisdom from an old [...]
