Ellie tells me what it’s like to travel as a twenty-two-year-old wanderer in the bustling city of Seoul, what it means to be a social media star, and what inspires her to live this way.

COVID tests for students in England are projected to be held on 30th November. A week of mass testing for students is proposed with the aim of preventing the spread of the virus as students return home. But the University Union, which represents university lecturers, said it was not yet clear whether all universities would take part in the testing programme or how many students would be included. So, what do students think? Ziad Mohamed, 19, from the University of Kingston said: “That physical

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”- Archbishop Desmond Tutu In the midst of all this, as a writing platform I wanted and felt I had responsibility to share something beyond just preformative activism. I want to use this platform in a good way to aid and empower voices, and this will always try to be an open space for black people’s voices.

This need for us to always be ‘busy’, or ‘bettering’ ourselves. I ask my mum how her day off has been and she responds with a list of

A report on ethnicity challenges in university by the Office for Students published this month has questioned the ways we ‘draw on ‘non-western’ and non-white forms of knowledge in our teaching’.

Yet althou

‘With a dental dam you can pretty much lick anything’ So if like me you’d never heard of a dental dam, you may be wondering what on Earth they are and who in their right mind uses them. Well those who are familiar will know that a dental dam is a square piece of stretchy latex, used over a woman’s genitals when she receives oral sex, in order to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Put in between the mouth and the partner’s vulva, the person is able to lick just as they would wi

When headlines are constantly suggesting that universities are dishing out first class degrees like no there’s no tomorrow, how much does a grade really reflect our employability skills? After ten years in education, three more years of academic studying whilst racking up to £50,000 worth of debt, university may not seem like the most appealing option, especially if you’re not someone who succeeds with essays, exams or rigorous testing. On the other hand, unsure about what career to do, univers
