The Never Ending Sofa Sale!
Did you know that double savings are now on at DFS where there’s a sofa for everyone? At CSL, the sofa specialists, your perfect sofa is now half price! And at SCS you can save up to half price in the Blue X sale! I like to think that this is the reason I stopped...
Christmas comes too early!
Every year Christmas seems to rear its head earlier and earlier; which is definitely an odd concept considering it’s a single day. Growing up I’ve become used to certain traditions, the Christmas songs can come out on the first of December (and believe me on the 1st the Pogues will be blaring from my laptop),...
Ida’s Column – December 2012
It comes like a thief at night. Silently and treacherously just when I think it’s safe to breathe. I get homesick. Of course I’ve been prepared for this. I read every article and did the research. I know it’s alright to feel homesick. Still, nothing prepared me for this amount of melodramatics. My flatmates go...
Columnist Ida Väisänen – October 2012 – For all that you can be
”Where are you from?” This is the question I usually run into every time I meet a new person these days. During Fresher’s week I met more people than I have in all my life and that’s usually the question that follows after exchanging names and degrees. Where am I from. It’s the accent. Gives...
The Story of Stuff
I’ve spent the summer doing my absolute best to avoid the startling problems that have become evident with my dissertation, by spending an awful lot of time watching TED videos (www.ted.com – seriously excellent stuff) and reading similarly inspiring books. This has caused me to be uplifted and then crash harder than the diet of...
A Peer Guide Remembers
As a third year now I’ve been a peer guide twice. I believe that peer guiding is one of the extra-curricular activities that has taught me the most during my time at Bangor University. I’ve always thought of myself as quite a loud and extrovert character; no doubt there are people reading this nodding in...
Life Sentence: Going to University is one of the most important decisions we make yet we’re forced to make it as teenagers
As I write this, I am 3000 words away from the end of my degree. A degree that I have reluctantly struggled through because when I filled in my UCAS form 4 years ago, I barely knew myself let alone what I wanted to do with my life. If you could go back, what would...
LJ Loses the Plot: Where is the Plot?!
I think the general consensus, in life, is that everyone (or at least the majority of people) are fans of TV and film. I’m one of those people, of course I am I’m a media student. I’ve never really just enjoyed a TV show or a movie though, I’ve always found myself emotionally involved with...
Nicked Grimshaw
Was it poor marketing by Pontio or the apathy of students that caused the R1 night to be cancelled? So, this article was intended to be a review of the Nick Grimshaw night that was to be hosted by the highly controversial, vastly criticised and all-round success that is Pontio (sarcasm warning). However, due to...
Bangor Students' Union
That’s [not] debatable
