I can’t believe it’s been a year since I was worrying about going uni and drowning in my thoughts of whether I would fit in or not, whilst dealing with all the UCAS and student finance things. Which all ends I promise you. I know the student finance thing sounds long and tedious but it will be sorted and that’s when... Read the rest of this post...

In a perfect world, this article would be about a low-budget horror film in the vein of Sharknado, something so spectacularly bad it is somehow good. I’m picturing fanged sunbeds and sunglasses which are inexplicably demonically possessed. Unfortunately, ‘swimsuit season’, along with its cousins ‘beach body’ and ‘summer diet’, actually succeeds in creating feelings of dread. (Image via) Recently an online...

I’ve got a weird name, haven’t I? Don’t worry, it’s okay to think it – it’s quite funny. But that’s because I’m a rare type of Asian known as Parsi. I love my unusual heritage. It makes me feel special. I also like it that people want to know what it is, even if it means taking ten minutes of... Read the rest of this post...

However, we are all BEAUTIFUL! Differences in character for example, like and dislikes, is what makes us more appealing as humans. Your differences make you unique, and more interesting, stamping you with your... Read the rest of this post...

I have been thinking recently about how easy it is to determine if someone is successful based on how they ‘look’ on their public profiles. When I use the term ‘look’ I am referring to not only their face, but also how they portray themselves on social media platforms, which is a HUGE thing nowadays. I want to scratch your brain on a few things... Read the rest of this post...

This is a big deal, people. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that this general election campaign has been both uninspiring and downright confusing. I, as... Read the rest of this post...

I am so frustrated over the many times that people just cast me to the sidelines, because APPARENTLY I’M TOO YOUNG. In other words they think I am incapable of doing anything simply because of my age. It’s like a silent way of saying; ‘no, sorry, you’re too stupid to understand’.

There’s is no denying it, the election is coming up and I’m trying to make sense of it all wondering who is going to best serve my interests as a ‘young person’.

Empowerment is trending. This shampoo is empowering my hair. Swishhhh. This sanitary towel is empowering my vagina – fuck you menstrual blood. You ain’t gonna hold me back!

‘Can I sit here?’ ‘I’m sorry, that chair is for my bag.’ ‘Oh. Yeah sure. I’ll sit in the corner. By myself then.’ Def. Clique – a close knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them. I can’t stand cliques. What a load of bollocks. Tight insular inward facing friendship circles defined by their exclusivity. *Face... Read the rest of this post...
