Words by Samia Meah I was five when my father died and we lost everything. I know everyone says that, but he really was. Up to that point he had been our family’s sole-breadwinner, our cook and cleaner. We struggled to cope without him and things at home quickly deteriorated. Soon after his death, I became a victim of abuse... Read the rest of this post...

Women have been an integral part of the workforce for the better part of a century, but their efforts have largely been limited to domestic, sales, and administrative work. That is beginning to change, with women slowly beginning to enter the trade industry. Opportunities are promising in welding, HVAC, and construction, and, as this infographic Tulsa Welding School developed points out, those... Read the rest of this post...

Dear All, Recently I’ve undergone a drastic makeover and have gone from having very long hair to having quite short hair! Everyone in my life seems to like my trendy new hair, however trend is not something I pay much attention to… I actually cut off my long, lovely, feminine hair to be able to make a donation for little...

Here’s a rather generic question we often encounter that might just hold something deeper. This is a question we’re faced with almost everyday by multiple people in the plethora of shops we visit. ‘Would you like a bag?’ I try to live a life as green as I can (the good kind of green), and one thing I always try...

We all speak to ourselves. Whether it’s subconsciously, consciously in our heads, or – like me – you embrace your inner-insanity and you have a tendency to speak to yourself out loud. We tend not to think about how we talk to ourselves, after all maintaining a train of thought in our heads is one of the most natural things... Read the rest of this post...

Hello, my name is Rhian – and I love One Direction. Okay, I’ll be honest with you from the start. This is not entirely about One Direction (if it was, this would be a dissertation).This is actually about accepting yourself, not bringing each other down, and the power of young girls. My first impression of One Direction is hardly worth... Read the rest of this post...

Giving to charity has suddenly become very self-indulgent. As I scan my newsfeed and I see many friends soaking themselves in icy water in order to spread awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis I wonder why it is we have to do attention-grabbing acts in order to want help a fellow human being. I would firstly like to congratulate the ALS... Read the rest of this post...

Allow me to set the scene for you: last weekend, two of my friends and I were at a music festival. It was the last night, around ten minutes before the closing act The Killers were due to come on stage. And one of the two boys we’d befriended earlier on in the weekend, who we had hung out with for... Read the rest of this post...

‘The brightness makes the darkness hell’. This was used in a PGCE induction talk about poetry I recently had. Although it was used to demonstrate a child’s ability to use poetic writing (yes a five-year-old wrote this), I believe that this week has given me a massive realisation as to my meaning of life. I’ve suddenly become a bit dramatic... Read the rest of this post...

Westlife said it’s like flying without wings, Meatloaf said he’d do anything for it but Haddaway asked the question that I am now contemplating: What is love? I’ve always thought that being in love would be a really clear feeling, and thus I’ve never really felt it. I have no doubt loved and love a lot of things and people in...
