An exchange student's guide to Ontario, Canada

I have just spent the past term, or semester, studying at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada. It was a little bit of a rollercoaster at times, but studying abroad, and studying in Canada specifically, has been one of the best decisions I have made so far at Warwick. Hopefully, this guide will give you some inspiration and provide some helpful information if you are due to go to Ontario on exchange this September.

We're not tired of Love Island, we're tired of toxic behaviour on our TV screens

Love Island has returned to our screens this summer for another season, starring sexy singles hoping for love, £50K, and a Boohoo deal.

Kanye West: Who is his true muse?

The concept of the muse dates back to Greek and Roman mythology, where nine women presided over poetry, art and music. Today, a “muse” is typically regarded as a woman who becomes the source of inspiration for an artist or musician, often due to her beauty. She becomes the driving spirit behind their work.

Prequels: Are they a money grab?

Coming up with a concept for any novel, particularly one in the fantasy genre, is no mean feat. The world building, character development and storyline all have to engage a large readership to be successful. When you have published a bestselling trilogy, such as The Hunger Games, why bother with the trouble of inventing an entirely new fictional universe when you already have one that sells millions?

Some might argue that this was precisely Suzanne Collins’ thought process behind the recently...

The Brexit picture book for children

Brexit. A word heard so frequently in the midst of this current political climate that it’s typically followed by a sigh. However, is it a word we hear the younger generations using? Many children appear to be turning to their parents in an effort to understand Brexit. However, 32% feel they couldn’t explain the situation to their child if asked, according to a recent survey. To combat this, some have turned to children’s storybooks for the answers.
