Playing Frisbee in the Quad…
We’ve all watched American college films filled with societies and clubs and wished for the same experience. You probably haven’t realised that you can have all of that. All you need is to rustle up some friends and think of something that YOU and OTHER uni kids would enjoy doing. Uni doesn’t have to be all about boring-ass lectures, and lame essays, if you invest some time in your ‘social studies’ you can build an awesome club and meet some cool uni kids along the...

Requiem Mass
No graveclothes for these graver dead But sucking mud and stealthy rain That wash the dead Smoother than Ares’ brow. No choruses or elegies for these fallen men Only the crunch of guns Clamping like serpent’s jaw Over time, and sound, and sanity. No tomb for these wandering souls Caught between Elysium and Hades First a field where children played Then a narrow strait it seemed no man could cross. Here they will lie Till sunlight dances on their bones Like a puppet... Read More
Come Around, Sundown
By Kings of Leon Come around Sundown is the first album in two years for the brothers Followill, following their burst into the mainstream with their 2008 hit record, Only by the Night. Highly anticipated, this new album is not the great change that their last album was, but more a slight evolution of their sound, combining their Deep South rollicking rock with their chiming arena sound, to create a record that sits somewhere in the middle. That they quite obviously decided to... Read More
Summer Jobs! $$$
Ladies and Gentlemen, take a deep breath; the light at the end of the tunnel is upon us…. I can almost hear a chorus of angelic hallelujahs as summer holidays approach marking the end of another semester, and the beginning of a well earned break consisting of sleeping, reading, partying and generally doing nothing I don’t want to do. The thing is though, that only appeals for so long. Two weeks in I’m bored out if my mind and in classic Lisa Simpson style, find my self asking... Read More
Is Fit Sexy?
Is fit sexy? SHE SAYS From the beginning of time it has been purported that women want men who are strong, agile, fit and good providers. And while I understand this must’ve been the case back in caveman/cavewoman times things have most certainly changed since then. And so while many women stick to that archetypal primal taste in men I’m here to tell you that truthfully I do not. Because I see no reason for it. I mean with the invention of supermarkets, the extinction of... Read More
Rebel With A Cause
Two weeks ago, Degree’s Street Team encountered Green Scarf Day Part 2 at the Kingswood campus which was organised by the Kingswood UWSMSA (UWS Muslim Students Association). Green Scarf Day is influenced by the UN’s Development Goals which aim to reduce poverty. The street team got to meet the Kingswood UWSMSA group who had sacrificed their time to prepare cupcakes and other goodies to help fundraise. UWSMSA focused on raising funds for girls in Bangladesh who live... Read More

Oui Oui
Rebecca reviews The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. A beautiful and critically acclaimed French film that tells the bizarre and remarkable story of the former editor of French Elle magazine and his battle with a rare disorder. Directed by Julian Schnabel Imagine you’re completely paralysed from the neck down. The only thing you can do is blink your eyes, and one of them has to be sewn up because it has become infected. You can’t eat or talk and the only form of communication... Read More
