I’m not really into the smell of flowers- as far as I’m concerned they smell like the soil they grow in, and perfume manufacturers just say they use “extracts” or “notes” of a certain type of flower, when really what they do is make sweet smells from some top secret chemicals in a laboratory deContinue reading “Yellow”

This past Sunday was my 20th birthday. 20 years. It’s a long time, made even longer by friends’ quips of “centuries ago today, you were born”. I mean, I don’t feel particularly old. Except maybe when I go up a steep flight of stairs too fast and am out of breath by the time IContinue reading “The 4th Anniversary of My 16th Birthday”

I’ve been writing exams for the past 2 weeks or so, and that means I’ve been cross-nighting and using all my leftover energy on cramming. I’m done for. Here are the songs which have been keeping me semi-sane: It puts a smile on my face. Can you not just see yourself on a beach frontContinue reading “Cram-tastic Jams”

But first, I have to tie up a few loose ends.  First, exams. I wrote my third one today, so I only have one more to go- yay! My brain is so fried. I mean, I really feel like it’s done for, and I only have a mass of fizzled out nerve endings sloshing aroundContinue reading “Freedom On The Horizon”

I’ll probably find myself stealing some time to throw a few more pennies into this cyber fountain of mine, but for the next week or so I’ll be pretty much under house arrest. If it isn’t a Sociology essay, it’ll be a Social Work report. And besides all of that, I need to start studyingContinue reading “Exam Time”

Okay. So I finally gave in to peer pressure, and started a Twitter account this past Thursday.It took me a long time to get to this decision, mainly because I thought: “another social networking tool? But Facebook works just fine, though, doesn’t it?”. I just couldn’t understand it. I mean, I could see that itContinue reading “A Little Birdie Told Me”

I love her voice. Solange meets Erykah Badu. And this remix of another one of my favourites is just amazing! Follow: @ellevarner

I’ve always been undercover about this, but when Cosmo on Campus and Levi’s Curve ID set up their station right on the library lawns today, I went. I went, forsaking all logic and common sense, to stand in the snaking line in the scorching heat so that I could be fitted, made-up and photographed forContinue reading “Okay. I’ll Admit It…”

It would more aptly have been called “Mission” BFF, because that’s exactly what it was. When Pearl and I were trying to figure out where I had to be using Google Maps two nights before, it had seemed simple enough. Almost too simple, in fact, as it looked like the building I had to beContinue reading “Seventeen’s Project BFF”

I’m still undecided. I mean, I like DJ Fresh (UK)’s Gold Dust, and the remix of Ellie Goulding’s song Lights. But it’s still a little confusing deciding which one of the two genres has a more acceptable amount of “doef-doefing and nts-ntsing” as the people in Middelburg would say. Like, how do I know whichContinue reading “Drum and Bass vs Dubstep”
