It’s the middle of May, I’ve finished my degree and handed over my beloved paper to very capable people. Officially, I’ve finished my time at uni. I’m not going to lie; I feel very deflated. Handing in my last piece of coursework felt anti-climactic, I was expecting to feel relived but now I find myself…

Preparing for the picturesque Peru
“Yeah, you can go!” was not the kind of response I expected from my mother, who has been extremely strict ever since I was young, when I asked if I could go on a volunteering trip to a country that is tremendously far away from home – Peru. No one in my family seemed surprised…

we are barely ten and holding our imaginary shovels we go searching for the golden light or perhaps a newt in the long grass or maybe a lucky clover your dad told you all clovers are four leaf clovers but they wanted to be just like him when they grew up while waving his…

A return to gaming
For as long as I can remember, the best days of my childhood were my summers. Filled with days off school, the lush green grass and walks by the beach, there was always something beautiful about the season.

How I changed my approach to art on social media
I’d like to say that I spent my summer in a beautiful exotic country, reclining on a sunlounger and sipping a Mojito. Unfortunately, this dream did not become a reality: my non existent wage as an unpaid intern meant that my funds stretched just far enough to buy the occasional Kinder Bueno from the Co-Op. …

New gamer column
I have pretty much zero gaming experience, other than playing copious amounts of Skyrim one summer whilst I was in sixth form. When chatting to my gamer housemates about what games they had that I could play for this column, we landed on Portal. From what I heard, it’s a classic, pretty well-known, and my…

Spending less to travel more
Travelling the world is something that everyone aspires to do. One of the largest obstructions is having enough money. Quite a few of my friends save up the money and cheques they are gifted at Christmas in order to travel during the summer. This is a great use of your money, rather than splurging that…
