With technology growing at the rate that it has, I’m sure most of us have had to teach our grandparents or maybe even our parents the new technology out there. Here at the university, I signed up to a volunteering opportunity, called Clicksilver, that mentors older people on how to use their technology over a 6 week period. I …

November 18, 2015
Does anyone else spend their procrastination time thinking about how long they would survive in a zombie apocalypse? I like to think I’d be a survivor but I have a feeling my zombie fighting skills wouldn’t be quite up to scratch so unless I manage to befriend the whole of the fencing society (do we even have …
