You’re a quizzard, Ollie

Let me set the scene for you. Newark Hall Bar nearly a year ago, give or take a few months. A team of young, intelligent students and free Dominoes to eat at the halfway point. On that night we walked away as winners collecting a sweet money prize. Can I claim I’m a superstar, not …

The Student and the House

By now many people will have signed for the house they will be living in for the next academic year at University. Whether you are leaving halls and moving into your first house or you are a seasoned Lenton dweller. Every student will encounter certain problems with their housemates and house. Many of these are …

Superblog XL

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! It is time, for the one time a week event that you’re actually used to by now. The Super blog XL. Please take your seats, grab your snacks and sit back and enjoy the show! Right… so let me explain that introduction was in honour of the Superbowl XLVIII that happened this Sunday …

The Emergence and Varsity

Just give me a second. That’s it, was just shaking off the rustiness! It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I last blogged. I can only apologise and put all the blame on exams. Between the last blog and this one I have been through the exam equivalent of the 5 stages of grief. Denial Yeah …

A Festive End

“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a Steels’, the words came easy written without fear, in hopes that his readers should enjoy what he bears. Ollie was nestled all snug on his bed, whilst his laptop whirred and as he read back what he’d …

Christmas Capers

I have succumbed to Christmas cheer. As the date on my phone, ticked over or rather changed, to the 1st December the countdown to Christmas was on. As soon as I start counting it all starts to feel real. Also with my birthday thrown in between now and Christmas, deadlines and going back home the month of …

The Plot Thickens

The first, of what I hope will be many, Cluedo Nights occurred on Thursday. I promised you something interesting would be in this weeks blog, didn’t I? So who did it, with what and where? Mrs. White, Dagger in the Library and Colonel Mustard, Revolver in the Ballroom. To be honest with you I didn’t get the answer …

Birthday Bonanzas

Mid-November is nearly here and with it comes the midpoint of the term and time for a quick reflection! I remember writing in first year about how I felt time was flying and then the next week talking about how I felt I’d been away from home for ages and the term was so long. As a …
