It never fails to amaze me just how relentlessly we as college students are dedicated to the sesh. I am not condoning our carry on. I am not condemning it, either. I am, out of sincere, unjudging fascination, simply making an observation of our creature-ness. We are filthy. I do not need to go into…
On the morning of Saturday the 2nd of February, UCC societies were made aware via e-mail of the sudden passing of UCC student Shayan Nasser. Shayan was active in student media, and was a committee member of both the UCC Journalism Society, and the UCC Music Society. He was also a writer for the University…
Firstly welcome back to UCC and a Happy New Year to all of our wonderful readers. So we’re all back to reality following our love affair with mince pies, pringles and turkey over the Christmas period, and yes, this is it, this is the year where I change, this is the year for me….well hopefully….

I’ve been working on getting an interview with Kojaque for nearly two years now. I’ve sent e-mails to his label, tweeted at him…
