Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at the stories that made the headlines here at Studenty.me this week… We put on our mortar-boards here at Studenty Towers this week, which means only one thing… It’s coming towards the end of another academic year and all that much nearer exams. Here are ten to make you laugh and think this Sunday. 1. Speaking of exams, they can’t be avoided. (Unless you’re an Arts student, boom boom). Jane Kearns arms you with the A to Z of exams. 2. Ever get [...]

Welcome to the life of a mature student
Maybe my preconceptions about the youth of today were misguided. A barely concealed loathing of anyone under the age of 25 had become something that I’d made a part of me. “Look at them there with their Converse runners and their ironic quiffs they think they’re so clever”, I’d think to myself as I watched them loitering around with little or no intent. “They wouldn’t have lasted five minutes in my day”, I’d mutter as I walked past the array of freaks, geeks and not so chics without once realising [...]
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: 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 [...]
Studenty Sunday: The Lurve Edition 12-2-12
Every week Roisin Peddle takes a look at the top ten stories making the headlines here at Studenty Towers. And what an eventful week it was: 1. There was once a time when devoted music fans rushed down to a dusty record store to get their paws on the latest vinyl album by the Cure. In the second part of a two-part interview (part one here) Garry Brooks talks to author Graham Jones about the death of the record shop. 2. Epilepsy is one of the most misunderstood conditions [...]
Poser Pub-Talk: Film Frauds
WARNING: This article may, in places, be wildly inaccurate and condescending… Whenever I manage to break myself away from my studies and take a reflective stroll through the town, I can sometimes find myself in a place which will be familiar to many Irish students: the pub. Never one to shy away from social conventions, I’m inclined to give the lads a text and we’ll settle down to an evening of chat, craic, and that dreaded word “banter”. We’ll take in the topics frequented by pub punters, music, love-lives [...]
