With summer right around the corner, and therefore a long summer holiday for most university students coming up, hopefully, some of us will have the privilege of having a few of what I like to call ‘A Nothing Day’. These days normally come after having worked lots of shifts at home and finally having a […]
Substack has been circling around the new media-sphere for a few years now, but I only really started becoming an avid subscriber around this time last year.
