This week, the Sexual Health and Relationships team got to the bottom of the concept of 'romance' around the world...
What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done/has been done for you?
America (girl’s perspective): When my ex-boyfriend came to pick me up after I spent six weeks at a summer camp, I had a few hours to kill. He had told me he was going to go...

The deadline looms; that fateful date that's been in your calendar from the very beginning but you've successfully ignored until now. It's got to that point, where no matter how much you pretend you won't have to sit through three hours in the sports hall counting tiles; it's time to face the facts (literally) and plough through the lectures you said you'd "...

Whilst a large part of The “Revision” Period has been spent on litres of tea, highlighters and a high-score on Draw Something; the Downton Abbey box-set has also been added to the list of prime procrastinators. Nights in Timepiece have been traded for lavish banquets and no lacrosse boy can compete with Crawley. What really started to interest me however, (other than Dan Steven) was...

By this stage in your dating life, you may have come to realise that when it comes to picking men, you fall for a certain type… For some it’s tall, dark and handsome; for others it’s anyone in ones.

He pushes a stray hair aside and moves a little closer. His eyes locked upon yours. Your heart is beating slightly faster and you wonder if you’re wearing the right bra for whatever may happen next. You move closer to him and notice just how bright his eyes are and how you can get lost in them forever. It seems like it takes ages for both of your lips to meet, and when they finally do, your...

It’s a shocker this one, personally I find it truly horrendous, but there really is no exercise better for strengthening your core than a good old-fashioned plank. It not only builds endurance in your abs and back, but also strengthens your core stabilizer muscles as well as helping to tone your arms and bum.
Position:
Lie on your front.
Supporting your weight on your...

Essays got you down? Feeling a sense of mid-term blues? Stuck in a cyclone of negativity?
As students, we’re spread thin. Aiming for success, and strategically trying to balance sport, societies, a social life, a job, oh... and lectures isn’t easy. Productivity is crucial; we have so much to accomplish in a day (before the Arena queue gets too long). But how can anything be...

For any director, the mere mention of Bertolt Brecht sends a shiver down their spine; so I don’t doubt that Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, described by the Telegraph’s Charles Spencer as a “dramatic dud”, had first-time director Zac Price shaking all over.
