OK, Karen – How memes have helped us through the pandemic

OK, Karen – How memes have helped us through the pandemic Clemence Smith looks at how we have turned to memes while stuck in a pandemic – and how they are helping us express frustration. Living through the pandemic is difficult at the best of times. Many of us are spending unprecedented amounts of time […]

Comedy Post-Wodehouse

If you were to read the opening paragraph of my personal statement – something which I would not recommend – you would come across something a bit like this: “I have always loved P.G. Wodehouse, and no matter how many times I read his novels, I find an unadulterated joy in his prose”. It’s pretty […]

I’m a feline, get meow-t of here

Our day is always just that little bit improved when we have the opportunity to pet some animals, isn’t it? Thankfully, we’ve got a few roaming around the grounds – here are some ratings on recent encounters! Friendly Ginger Bread This friendly ginger cat has been seen roaming around Forum Hill, Poole Gate, and Queens. […]

Review: ‘Asockalypse Now’ @ M and D Room

I’ll admit, having not seen a university comedy performance before, I entered the M&D room with trepidation. Thankfully, after the first handful of sketches, I relaxed, settled into my seat, and chuckled away for the remainder. The show opened with a framing device: five people meet in a cave for, let’s say, a meeting of […]

Tears of a Clown: The experience of being a student clown

As my girlfriend always said, it doesn’t matter if you’re ugly, as long as you have a sense of humour. For my young, pimpled self, it was the key to my heart; a self-validating rush I hadn’t felt since that final cathartic Twilight film. I may have struggled with body odour, drowned in love handles […]

How to tackle deadline stress

The end of term has suddenly crept up on us (wasn’t it Christmas just yesterday?!), and that can only mean one thing: Deadlines. Yes, the bane of every student’s existence is fast approaching once more. Just yesterday you were living it up in Top Top, and now suddenly your Friday nights are looking bleaker than […]

Made in Exeter

Have you ever looked at your group of perfectly tanned and toned Exeter pals and thought, we really should be on TV? With all the drama surrounding the status of Annabel and Hugh’s relationship and the fact that Monty now wants to be known as M Dot, you’re practically screaming out for your own reality […]

Why one is the happiest number this Valentine’s Day

You’ve heard it before… No date for Valentine’s Day? Ah, better curl up on your sofa in your freezing student house, call up the Domino’s guy because that’s pretty much the only human interaction you’re going to have all day, grab that Ben & Jerry’s and settle in for a long day of loneliness and […]

Musical Chairs – a metaphor for austerity?

I‘m sure we all have fond memories of playing musical chairs when we were little. Who could forget those moments of sheer joy as we jostled awkwardly amongst friends at a birthday party, just pretending to dance before the sound of silence meant it was time for us to find a chair in the circle.
