Hangovers, much like a good exam season mental breakdown or a particularly fun PMS week, are not one size fits all. Some people end up extremely hungry after a night on Drury Street, and others lose their appetite completely. I have one friend that swears by a simple bowl of cereal after a night out and another cannot go home before a chicken roll from Gay Spar.

Love is a battlefield. The hospitality industry makes that painfully clear with its, on average, tiny profit margins. On your average run-of-the-mill year, after paying staff and satisfying suppliers, profit margins rest at about 4%, maybe 8% on a bumper year. There’s at least a dozen Hallmark movies that romanticise opening a restaurant. An aspiring pastry chef buys a small cafe and does extremely well with the help of the hot love interest. Bullshit.

But what if you’re craving a chill Spanish holiday absolved of the fear of pickpockets lurking around every bustling city corner?

Days like these, we agonise over our exams all day and all night. Or at least we do in theory, but your editors will be the first to admit that it can be difficult to focus when the daylight hours are shrinking and the nights beckon with opportunities to wander the halls, park, and underneath the Campanile, avoiding the murderous claws of what we should presumably have been studying during the day. That said, procrastination time is over.

Scientists have long debated the origins of life but one thing is clear: life exists in cycles. We belong to the land as much as it belongs to us. How poetic: the same energy that courses through us once flowed through the world around us. This energy flow creates a sense of community. For better or worse, we are all a part of this world. As such, we all have a responsibility to the world that provides for us. They don’t call her Mother Nature for nothing.

The low hum of ominous music projects from speakers just out of sight in the dark. As part of the Dublin Fringe Festival Welsh artist, Jony Easterby partnered with the National Botanic Gardens Glasnevin in order to create the Garden of Shadows, a mysterious, yet luminous, 1km walk that brings its viewer on a journey created by lights accentuating the darkness.
