First the scheduling of games...

With the schools now close to breaking up for the summer holidays and the weather (almost) holding up its end of the bargain for a summer season, the talk of holidays is on everyone’s lips.

What a feminist is: a person who advocates social, political, legal and economic rights for women, equal to those of men. What a feminist is often confused with: a man hating, bitter woman whose only goal is to triumph over men in every way. Recently the backlash that self-confessed feminists face daily has come to...

Today we are obsessed with the Instagram girls who are seemingly perfect in every way. We place them on pedestals and hold them in the highest esteem, yet why we do it we just can’t pin.
