How To Survive Exams V-Log (Pay careful attention Arts, Law and Pharmacy students)

Introducing Irish actress Lisa Ní Laoire to Studenty! Lisa is somewhat of an expert when it comes to solving your most pressing problems – and this week cramming for exams takes priority over the mystery of where next week’s rent is coming from. Studenty.me takes no responsibility for course failures arising out of this unique take on how to survive third level’s greatest challenge – exams (Friday morning lectures a close second).

Studenty Sunday: Random Edition

Studenty Sunday: Random Edition

Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at ten stories making the headlines here at Studenty.me. One of the silliest ads around at the moment is the one where the skydive instructor tells his bewildered skydivers to pull on the sheep clock which release their rubber duck and he’ll see them on the cupcake. In this spirit, I present a wide, diverse and even disparate group of articles for your edification this Sunday. (Can they tell I’ve ran out of ideas yet? Well, not if you don’t tell them- Ed). 1.

Ireland’s drinking culture: Time for a change?

Ireland’s drinking culture: Time for a change?

Yesterday was Good Friday, one of the two days of the year that the pubs in Ireland are shut. Regardless of the fact that you can drink the other 363 days of the year, some see this as an absolute disaster. I watched a TV3 news report on all the places where you can still get a drink- trains, boats with passenger licences. Do we really need to find loopholes? Can we not go one day without buying drink? On Thursday outside the coroner’s court in Cork, two heartbroken parents [...]

Studenty Sunday: ALL THE THINGS Edition

Studenty Sunday: ALL THE THINGS Edition

Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at the top ten stories making the headlines at Studenty.me through the week. My limited imagination struggled with a title for this week’s Studenty Sunday, which covers stories ranging from chuggers in Dublin to kidnapping in Darfur. Well, as someone once said, “The easiest way to become popular is to leech off the popularity of others.” In that spirit, I present a meme-inspired Studenty Sunday! 1. *Sucess baby* 2012 looks to be another great year for gaming, and Darran Goggin previews five games [...]

Studenty Sunday: Life Lessons Edition

Every Sunday Roisin Peddle takes a look at the top ten stories that made the headlines this week on Studenty. 2012 might be ancient at this stage but it doesn’t mean that we here in Studenty have forgotten about New Year self-improvement. Among our top ten stories are nuggets of golden, crispy wisdom… 1. The actress Maria Doyle Kennedy and Kevin Kennedy recently played a gig in Kinsale. Tom McCarthy found it an almost religious experience… 2. Ireland lost one of its most impassioned campaigners recently with the death of [...]

MatureStudent-UniversityofLimerick-Diary

Welcome to the life of a mature student..

As I shuffled downstairs to check the morning post I spotted it from afar. Even from that distance it looked suspicious and it certainly wasn’t a bill, some junk mail or a letter from An Taoiseach asking me round for some tea and biccies. As I approached the bundle of envelopes there could be no doubt, it was for me and the insignia on the letter told me it was the one I’d been waiting for. In the few seconds it took me to ascend the stairs and re-enter my [...]

Your Problems Solved by Sorcha Ni Shuilleabhain Age 9

Your Problems Solved by Sorcha Ni Shuilleabhain Age 9

Dear Sorcha, I have a very vigorous and somewhat extreme sex life with my live-in lover / sex slave. Recently I agreed to let my civil partner relinquish his naked slave duties around our flat in halls and in return, encouraged him to attend a line dancing class in our student centre. He is rather over-weight and he had suggested that some vigorous exercise would do him good. However, the other evening, as I was passing the student centre with our darling chihuahua Trixie-Belle McGuinness, I happened to cast a glance through the window of the student centre and caught [...]

University Scholarships: An Explanation

University Scholarships: An Explanation

So what are scholarships anyway? Well, scholarships are rewards given to students performing exceptionally well in academia, sport and, even in some cases, the performing arts. Sometimes they come straight from the funds of the university and at other times they come from donations to universities made by generous individuals, usually successful past students, or by companies investing in the hard-working, talented, future graduates. That’s you! Or at least some of you. Not everyone is cut out for a life shut up in the library, and some of us, put [...]
