By Elizabeth Abbott, English and History, Second yearDan Whitlam. Do you know him? That ginger poet who records poems sat on a train. Tattooed arms, wistful gazes, and phrases like ‘I don’t want quick intimacy. I want someone to lean into me for a lifetime’. He has captured the attention of thousands. This quote is from his poem ‘Quick Intimacy’, in which he explores a yearning for a steady progression into closeness with another, instead of something rushed and forced. Beautiful, right?

By Daniel Rose, First Year, HistoryAfter 80 years of complacency in Britain, the notion of a conflict requiring the conscription of a generation belongs to a bygone era, unthinkable today. Yet, recent comments from UK General Sir Patrick Sanders, calling for the implementation of a ‘citizen’s army’, have propelled the idea of twenty-first century conscription into the headlines.

By James Sinclair, First Year, Politics and International Relations The idea of somebody planting a chip into our brain is, at the very least, an uncomfortable thought. Our imaginations conjure images of a dystopian world. It feels unnatural, and it is. The development of this kind of tech - while bringing major benefits to some of the most vulnerable in society - makes us question the kind of world we want to live in. One that values our humanity and limitations, or one that does not?

Note: spoilers. We’ve all watched it. Or, nearly all of us have. It is the ‘talk of the town’ as Lady Whistledown would say. Or as Jac King has put it: Netflix’s ‘gambit for Normal People-esque success’. It has gained gleaming reviews. But, why has it stood out so profoundly among today’s television watchers? My opinion: it presents love in the most realistic of ways. Dexter and Emma’s journey into love is far from easy.

Winter is very much upon us. It’s frosty outside, the daylight hours are shorter, tinsel is being hung and Michael Bublé is hiding in every corner. You might be eating chocolate from an advent calendar or drinking hot cocoa in your kitchen. It is cold outside, beautiful- but the air is crisp. In fact, it’s so bloody cold (especially if you’re a student). Looking after ourselves is important all year round, but it can be especially difficult in the nippy, dark winter which can easily feel gloomy.

The opinions expressed in this article are the writer’s own and do not reflect the views of Her Campus. I struggled a lot when thinking about what to write for this article. International Women’s Day is such an important date in my calendar yet I feel as though it can so often be brushed over. ‘Who needs International Women’s Day when we have Mother’s Day?’ someone has quite literally asked me. ‘Not another day’. And, ‘When is International Men’s Day?’. 19th November, I’ll reply.

I’m sitting at my desk. My folder is out. Glass of water primed. The computer screen is open. I’m ready to work. I’ve been ‘ready to work’ for approximately 55 minutes now. But the only app on my computer is Spotify. Not word, not blackboard, not-Ooh but ‘ Dancing Queen’ comes on from shuffle play and I have to dance. It’s in the title, ABBA are screaming ‘dance!!!’ at me. Then, up next is ‘Ceilings’ by Lizzy McAlpine; you know that beautiful slow, calming but sad tune.
