The Bike Shed Theatre closes its doors
The Bike Shed Theatre has closed its doors for the last time, following a goodbye event on the 31st of March. The Fore Street venue, which first opened in 2010, was forced to close due to a lack of income from its attached bar. Credited by The Guardian with “keeping theatre alive in Exeter”, the […]
Are students ready for real life?
As an English student with six contact hours a week, managing a full-time job after university seems like a pretty intimidating concept. Envied by my friends for my five-day weekend (that’s right, my only contact hours are on Thursday and Friday), there is so much room for procrastination that it can often be hard to […]
Waving goodbye to Exeter
To me, my time at the University of Exeter has been one big, exciting (and slightly tiring) blur. It feels completely crazy that my time here has come to an end, that three years have passed by in what has felt like a short amount of time. But, simultaneously, my time here has felt like […]

Talking heads
In 2017, it may seem as if work towards reducing mental health stigma has come a long way. Just take World Mental Health Day as an example: the huge amount of people sharing their support may give the allusion that, as a society, we have overcome the stigma surrounding people who suffer with mental illness.

Glow get em’
With its focus on simplicity and feel-good products, the American makeup brand Glossier made its way to the UK on 9 October. Having stumbled across Glossier on a procrastinating scroll through YouTube, I was excited to see it’s arrival on our shores. It’s not hard to predict what happened next (under the guise of ‘treat yo’ […]
