BUCS Individual Tennis Finals – Singles Sunday 8th March 2015 Olivia Nicholls (5th seed) vs Lutfiana Budiharto (4th seed) Score: 6-2 2-1 (ret) Sunday’s finals day brought a big crowd to Loughborough’s Dan Maskell Centre, most of who had turned up to watch Olivia Nicholls representing Loughborough in her final against University of East London’s Lutfiana Budiharto.

Olivia was up against previous…
Serena Gainda As semester two begins, we glance back at the previous semester and make the solemn vow to ourselves as many have made before us- ‘never again’. We look ahead and reassure ourselves that this time, it’ll be better. We are ready. The promises are made to get ahead with work, get organised, attend lectures and what’s more, stay awake during them! Our motivation levels are peaking and we’re rearing to go. However, before we know it, this motivation dwindles and we slink back into old habits. Semester two, you continue unconquered and we wearily chase your tail. To…
Rachael Milsom Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. Pinterest. Most of us have accounts for these websites. Social media has become integral to our world. And it’s hardly surprising. They are a fun, convenient way to stay in contact with friends and family, share our own photos and experiences and hear about the latest events. The perks of social media go on and on. But these online channels of communication do not come without certain risks which we need to be aware of. We willingly expose ourselves on social media and therefore need to know how to protect ourselves effectively. Risks include disclosure…

Nicki Russell and Sport Editor Liz Tyler meet up with Loughborough Rugby Union and ask them a few questions.
Hi, I’m Bryn Wilkes. Firstly, to the 5,385 Loughborough students who voted for me to have another year as your VP Media, thank you. Secondly, to the 1,044 Loughborough students who voted to re-open nominations, now is the start of a 16-month period that I have to try to change your mind about me. Now isn’t the time to go into paragraphs and paragraphs about why my reasons for rerunning were genuine and rightly-motivated; however, I am happy to point you to any of the interviews I gave for LSU Media during the elections period if you’re curious. Instead, I…
Serena Gainda The students’ nemesis always has and continues to be the deadly hangover. At the end of a great, alcohol-fuelled night, you can be sure the hangover will begin to rise from its hellish place, making its presence known loud and clear the moment your eyes open to meet the (now headache-inducing) light. The pounding head, the overwhelming nausea, the fatigue and the general feelings of eurgh are common symptoms of the hangover. You’ll probably feel inclined to knock back a cup of coffee in order to lift yourself out of exhaustion; however this could be a fatal mistake.…

Mike Silva took a look at Sri Lanka’s performance against England in the Cricket World Cup and how youngster Lahiru Thirimanne played his socks off to rival the skilled batting of his senior Kumar Sangakkara. Striding out to the crease facing a tall 300+ total to chase against an Anderson led English bowling attack, Sri Lanka’s batsmen had a real fight on their hands. It wasn’t long before the unflappable cover drive was unleashed, crunching the ball for a boundary, which was ever so needed to settle the ever so fickle Sri Lankan nerves. It was as text book as a cover…
