Label Volunteer, Vicki Phillips gives you her review of Netflix’s ‘You’. The incredibly popular yet troubling Netflix Original show ‘You’ follows the life of stalker, Joe Goldberg and his increasingly sinister obsession with Guinevere Beck. Creepy right?

Returning volunteer, Christopher Leroux, talks about why he wishes he’d moved out of halls after first year. Some of you may remember me writing a similar article to this back in September.

First year is great; you meet loads of new people and have loads of Hall spirit, you experience Freshers and you feel part…

However, 2019 looks promising for Bad Gal Riri to finally make a comeback to music this year and reclaim her throne with her much anticipated 9th album being realised. Rihanna’s last album Anti has just celebrated its 3 year ‘Anti-versary’, yet still appears on today’s Billboard 200 charts. Anti hit double platinum with chart-toppers such as “Work feat. Drake” and “Consideration…
