10 things to look for when comparing university courses
Taken from http://university.which.co.uk/advice/top-things-tolook-for-when-comparing-uni-courses
We know, you haven’t even left 6th Form yet, and you have to start looking at what you are going to do next. If you are wanting to go to Uni, read the Which guide to choosing your university below. All information has been taken from the website above. So you’ve decided on a subject to study at university, but there are so many courses to choose from – how do you pick just five for your Ucas form? Here’s what to look out for when deciding on courses, and why. 1. Entry requirements Match the course entry requirements to your predicted grades to ensure you’re making realistic choices, based on what you’re likely to achieve - plus a back-up option in case you don’t quite get the grades you’re predicted. Why it’s useful: according to UCAS, 42% of applicants hold an insurance choice with conditions which are harder or equal to the conditions for their first choice. This means that if you miss your grades, you won’t have an offer to fall back on. 2. Type of university Universities are clustered into groups – including the Russell Group and University Alliance – which tell you something about the overarching ambitions of the university, but there are also much more obvious cultural differences between institutions that may sway your decision. Some universities may have a particularly active political scene or reputation for sport, for instance, while others may have a really strong student union offering lots of societies and nightlife options. When you’re looking at universities on Which? University, you’ll see that we’ve tagged them with specific characteristics, based on the location and what current students told us in our student survey. Why it’s useful: you could be spending three or four years at this university. It’s about finding the best fit for you, based on your interests and values.
3. Location Universities and colleges offering degrees differ hugely – from self-contained campuses where you can study, rest and play to urban settings where you’re slap bang in the middle of the hustle and bustle of a city and have to travel in to lectures. You should also think about your location right now. Do you plan to live at home and commute or have you set your search radius 50, 100 or 200+ miles away? What will the travelling be like (and the cost?)? Why it’s useful: if you’re looking for buzzing nightlife and end up on a sleepy self-contained campus (or vice versa), you may not get the experience you’re looking for. Go to an open day to get a feel for where you could be located. 4. Student satisfaction scores All final-year students are asked to rate their course and university experience in the National Student Survey. The findings are often quoted as an overall satisfaction score but you can also find specific ratings such as teaching, feedback from staff and learning resources. Why it’s useful: it can give you a glimpse into what students on the ground think about the course. Look for student scores on Which? University course pages – we’ve analysed the levels of overall student satisfaction against other universities offering the same subject to be able to say whether the figure is high, typical or low. 5. How you’ll spend your time Will you have a very structured timetable with lectures, seminars or practical work – or will you be expected to work independently in the library? What about placement year opportunities? Teaching hours will vary depending on the subject you’re applying for. For example there will probably be fewer timetabled hours on a history course than an engineering one, but you’ll be expected to study ‘self-guided’ the rest of the time. Why it’s useful: comparing teaching hours between similar courses at different universities should help you to find the best fit for you - you can do this using our contact hours comparison tool. 6. Course content Don’t skim read this! Look through the course information offered by the university and ask yourself if you can happily spend the next few years of your life committed to this course. Similar-sounding courses can actually end up covering very different areas, so it’s good point of comparison. There will be core subjects that you have to do and optional subjects that you have a choice over – how flexible are these? Can you find lots of modules that sound appealing? Why it’s useful: If you don’t like the course content, you will not like the course. If you do not like the course content you face a very high chance of dropping out – do your research!
7. How you’ll be assessed Your degree could be assessed in lots of different ways – coursework, exams, practicals, presentations and group work. When comparing courses, take a look in detail at this to try and find the course that best plays to your academic strengths. Why it’s useful: if your courses up until now have had a specific leaning towards one method of assessment – BTEC Nationals often have a high coursework element to them, for instance - you may face a steep learning curve if you choose a course that heavily leans another way. 8. Graduate prospects Find out what students are up to after they graduate from studying a subject at a particular university - including the percentage who are now in work or further study, the types of professions they’re working in and how much they’re earning. On Which? University course pages we’ve analysed these figures so you can see at a glance whether salaries and employment rates are high, typical or low compared to graduates of the same subject from other universities. Why it’s useful: the numbers are only measured six months after graduation, so see them as a short-term snapshot. However if you do notice a big difference in these figures when comparing similar courses at different universities, it could be worth asking the university why this might be. 9. Professional accreditation For certain subjects, such as acting or psychology, choosing a course that’s been accredited by a relevant body will ensure you’re ‘work-ready’ or able to progress straight into the appropriate postgraduate course – giving you a headstart when it comes to getting into a specific profession. Why it’s useful: you don’t want to end up on a course which could make it more difficult to achieve your career goals. 10. Competition When you’re looking at courses on Which? University you’ll be able to see how many applicants received an offer for the course last year. A lower number can indicate that it’s a competitive course to get on to (though there may be other factors at play affecting this). Your application will be judged on its individual merit, of course – so even a high percentage of offers per applicant doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get one, and vice versa. Why it’s useful: it’s a useful measure to look at for each of your five UCAS course choices – if all of your courses have a significantly low number of applicants receiving offers, you may want to balance out your options with at least one course choice offering higher chances.

Fierce Future
Teenagers of the future - ones to watch Aaron, aged 13, Chigwell We here at Fierce and Fresh always get excited when we see someone posting videos on Facebook, and none more so than when we saw one of Aaron singing. We managed to catch up with Aaron, and ask him a few questions. We first noticed you when your music teacher, Paul Bullen posted a video of you singing on Facebook, but for those who haven't come across you yet, could you tell us a little about yourself ? Hi. Yeah I’m 13 years old and I’m really lucky to go to Brentwood School where I’ve attended since I was Seven. My life is my music and football. Since I was three my dad has taken me to almost every Spurs home game and I love it. When I was seven I started playing the Piano at school and did a few grades. My Mum found Paul (paulbullen.com) my music teacher about 18 months ago and since then I’ve gone from strength to strength with my playing and songwriting. Paul’s well cool and we have a real laugh every lesson and he is a great inspiration to me. Over the past 18 months or so I also started focusing on my singing and I’m now having lessons with Tony Roberts (Britain’s Got Talent, 2012) who is fantastic.

How often do you practice each week, and do you find it a struggle fitting it around your school work? I practice at least four or five times a week. Due to personal family circumstances, I find it difficult to practice more and of course school work needs to be done, but we manage a good balance. Who is your inspiration in terms of music? I want to become a fantastic and successful singer / songwriter like Gary Barlow, Ed Sheeran or Sam Smith. I just want to get on stage and pack the O2!! What age did you start to realise you had a talent for singing? 10
Have you done any gigs yet, and if so, where have you done them? Yeah I’ve done quite a few now and quite a few in the pipeline. I’ve done charity balls and talent contests and recently some gigs on the singer songwriter circuit around London.
In May I performed in front of X-Factor finalists Lauren Platt, and James Graham & Tom Mann from Stereo Kicks. They’ve been really supportive of my music. I’ve got a gig next weekend in Ireland for a wedding, and Paul got me the best ever gig at Jimmy’s Farm Festival on 26th July this year. I can’t wait there will be a crowd of about 20,000 people. That will test my nerves! I’ve also got Kensington Roof Gardens coming up. So yeah theres a busy schedule. The more I do, the more I just want to do. Honestly when I’m on stage I just go into a trance and I love entertaining. Last week was funny, as my dad took me to his business partners house where they had a party and on the spur of the moment dad went home got the piano and amp and that and set it all up and I entertained the party for about hour and half with total audience participation. It was awesome. What obstacles have you come up against, if any, being so young? Errmm not many really other than my parents split recently so that’s been quite hard. I live with dad and he really encourages me so much with my music and he gets on really well with Paul and Tony so we’re like one big family. My music really has helped me get through it and it allows me to express my emotions of how I’m feeling at the time. What do you think of shows like X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent? Can you see yourself being on them? I did BGT this year and got a standing ovation and four Yes’s. Simon Cowell said I had a great future in front of me. Unfortunately though a few weeks later we received a call to say I wasn’t required for the semi-finals. It really knocked me, but my dad was great. He just kept telling me its their loss. I picked myself up and brushed myself down and got back to making music. I’m now busy preparing to release my debut single Wish You Hadn’t Gone which I wrote with Paul. It’s recently started getting played on the radio and lots of people have sent me messages about it. It’s an exciting time. What does the future hold for you? Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? The future in my mind is to have a great music career and to hit it big time. With the love and support of my family, friends, Paul and Tony I know I’ll be able to do it. I plan to write lots of songs and do lots of shows. In five years time that makes me 18, hopefully I’ll have left school by then and the doors will be open to a great music career.

Fierce Future Finance
Keeping your cash safe at a festival... Ele - Barefoot Accountant Sadly, some festival-goers are not there for the music – just what they can steal. Get festival savvy with these top tips and make sure you are not one of the targets…
1 – Get a money belt. Put most of your money in it. Carry a small amount separately in your usual purse/pocket. It may not look cool, but it will save you losing your money down the loo.

2- Camp near the toilets. I know it sounds weird but these are the busiest areas of the campsite and nearly always have a security post nearby.
3 – DO NOT padlock your tent. This is a signal that there is something worth stealing inside…
4 – DO make friends with your festival neighbours. You can all keep an eye on each other’s belongings
5- Rent a locker. Some of the larger festivals have lockers that you can rent for the weekend to put your valuables in
6 – Insure your mobile phone and make a note of the IMEI number before you go. Consider buying a cheap PAYG mobile for festival season and leave your i-Phone at home. Go old school and buy a disposable camera (if you don’t know what this is – ask your parents!)
At night 7 - Secure your tent from the inside using a tent peg through the zipper. It will make it harder for anyone to get into and they will likely not bother and go for an easier target
8 - Put your valuables at the bottom of your sleeping bag before you go to sleep to keep them safe
Fierce and Fabulous Get the Festival Look
By Karen from St Albans Hair and Make Up and beauty blog Discover Beauty www.discoverbeauty.co.uk
If you are going to one of the many festivals this Summer, make sure you have a collection of super quick-fix make up must haves. I’m off to V-Festival and these lovelies will be in my bag!!! SPF!!! If it is not contained in your make up, then make sure you slap on some sun cream. There is nothing worse than a burnt nose to cover up. A mirror - most face compacts have them, but make sure you check as you won’t want to be caught without one!!!
Stila CC Cream - this contains a SPF of 20, goes onto the skin GREEN(!!) and then blends to your natural tone covering up any red skin and pigments. It’s a sheer finish so will leave your skin looking natural, light and dewy. Stila Convertible Colour - this can be applied with fingertips for a soft cheek blush, and a glossy lip colour. My favourites are Lilium (nude pink) and Petunia (coral peach).
Illamasqua Vintage Metallix - this cream eye colour can be applied with fingers across the socket, I love Courtier as it’s light and shimmery. Can also be dabbed on the cheek and brow bone as a highlighter. Anastasia Beverley Hills Dipbrow Pomade - this is a great little pot for defining eyebrows the only brush you will need in your kit to apply will be a fine liner of brow brush. I’ve doubled it up and used it as a fine top liner too. It’s soft like a cream shadow so can be blended on the eyes for a smokey look with your fingers. False Lashes - with so many brands to choose from I would recommend you try and test a few brands first. Girls Aloud ones are great and a good price point. The fabulous and dramatic HUDABEAUTY ones are a big spree, but so, so worth it. My favourite style are #Samantha. Have a few trial runs before you go to make sure you are confident applying them, and don’t forget to test them with your sunglasses on. If they are too long, they will irritate and knock against the lenses and probably end up half way down your face!!! At the end of the day, make sure your look won’t run - you will have either torrential rain, or blazing sun to contend with - this is the UK after all!!! Check out www.discoverbeauty.co.uk for a video tutorial coming soon. Post your best festival looks on our Instagrams (@FierceandFreshMag and @DiscoverBeauty) to win a pair of HUDABEAUTY lashes in Samantha style using #festivalmakeupDB

A few essential toiletries to consider taking by Michael, Make up artist and blogger, https://thesoapbowl.wordpress.com
Once again that exciting and muddy time of year is upon us! Stifling a hangover in 3-day-old underwear, wellies whilst soaked in beer is all part of the experience. But just to keep you that extra bit fresher, here are a few toiletry weapons to lash in the backpack along with the obligatory toilet rolls, ear plugs and anti-bac!!! 1.
Talcum Powder!!!
Sod it, take two bottles of this! This stuff is so underrated. When you’re sweating, damp or generally sticky (and you WILL be!), just sprinkle some of this on for instant dryness and refreshment. Perfect for the nether regions ;-)
2. Sun cream This can also double up as a moisturiser to keep your skin from becoming dry and burnt. Be sure to use plenty on your face and around your eyes. Get an ‘all day’ cover one so you don’t have to keep reapplying it - its one less thing to have to carry. (and yes, this one say’s it for kids, but it means that it will be more gentle on your skin, and also protect you more -result!!!)
3.
Dry Shampoo
This one’s for the girls AND the guys! A spritz of this will keep your scalp clean and your hair refreshed. No greasiness and no itchy scalp! Just the fresh festival air wafting your locks!!! It will also make you look less deshevelled when you return home too. Oh, and don’t forget a brush/comb too - it might make the tangles just that bit easier to tackle!!!
4.
Anti-histamines (non-drowsy)
We’ve all had that panicky feeling when we start to sneeze and realise we have no saviour from the dreaded hay-fever. The last thing you want is a runny nose and itchy eyes ruining your buzz for days on end. Get them packed and you might even save someone else from it too! Do read the information properly, and check whether you can drink alcohol with them.
5.
Baby wipes
Load up on baby wipes. Not only can you wash your face with them, you can also use them for a bit of a freshen up ‘down below’. Get the extra sensitive ones, especially if you are using them on your face too.
6.
Toothpaste
Obviously! But it’s just as important to have toothpaste as well as a toothbrush. If you haven’t anywhere to brush your teeth, just stick a lump of this in your mouth and work it all over your gnashers. Toothpaste prevents toothache and bad breath so you can shout and sing and kiss without a care in the world!
7.
Contact Lens Solution/glasses
Don’t waste your contacts! And certainly don’t chuck them away and endure blindness. Plus, it makes wearing your sunglasses far easier. Take a little travel size bottle of solution and a container for your lenses. Don’t forget a mirror too for getting them in and out. Take a spare pair with you in case you lose them in the mud (or remember your dailies if that is what you wear). And if you manage to lose/rip them, take your spare emergency glasses with you as back up, even if it’s to wear when you first get up to give your eyes a bit of a rest. 8.
Feminine Hygiene
Yep, it will be sod’s law that you get your period just as you arrive at the camp site. Even if you aren’t due on, take some with you just as a precaution. Your body can play tricks on you, and you don’t want to be caught short in the middle of a festival!!! 9.
Headache tablets
Don’t forget to take some headache tablets with you. Whether it’s the bright sun, loud noise from the bands, dehydration or just a hangover, don’t suffer in silence. It goes without saying to be sensible when taking these and only take them as a last resort - and don’t mix tablets with alcohol and/or other drugs. Drink lots of water and eat at regular intervals throughout the weekend and you shouldn’t need them. 10. Contraception Lastly, don’t forget to take your regular contraception with you (and don’t forget to take it!!!), and pack a few condoms too. You probably won’t use them, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Fierce non Fiction Teen Read recommendations
5 of the best newly published reads for teens Synopsis’ taken from http://www.lovereading4kids.co.uk
We are all made of Molecules by Susan Nielsen (Andersen Press ltd) Publishing date - 7th May 2015 Age range - 11+ Stewart and Ashley are about as different as it’s possible to be. He’s super smart, happy to use words like ‘plethora’ in everyday conversation, but socially a little inept. She’s queen of the popular set at school, can spot a Desigual outfit from five hundred yards, but thinks melodramatic is two different words. Neither is very good at gauging other peoples’ feelings, and the culture clash when they become step-siblings is deafening. This is all sorts of things: a wonderful comedy of manners; a study of some serious emotional issues, including bereavement.
Skink No Surrender by Carl Hiaasen (Indigo, an Imprint of Orion Children’s) Publishing date - 7th May 2015 Age range - 11+ This is a dive in head first and read until you're dizzy book, so utterly brilliant and readable it’s scary! The totally bizarre and freakily sane Skink joins detective forces with Richard, who is looking for his cousin Malley after she runs away with a man she met online. With laugh until you gasp for air moments, mostly involving Skink, you quickly realise he is one of the most amazing characters to ever appear in print - would you actually want to meet him? Oh yes, most definitely! Some authors have that undefinable edge, that ability to take you right there, to the place of their choosing, Hiaasen most certainly has the gift. This is an unforgettable must read of a crime/ mystery novel for young adults.
The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge (Macmillan Children’s Books) Publishing date - 7th May 2015 Age range - 13+ Plagued by an unspoken scandal, fourteen-year-old Faith Sunderly and her family are forced to flee their home in Kent to start a new life. But news travels fast, and the gossip they’re running from soon reaches the small island community of Vane, to devastating effect. When Faith’s father is found dead under mysterious circumstances, she is determined to untangle the truth from the lies. Patriarchal Victorian society may not listen to a girl’s questions, but Faith has other plans. Following the trail left behind in her father’s books, and their secret father-daughter night-time boat ride, Faith discovers her father’s biggest secret . . .
Lottery Boy by Michael Byrne (Walker Books Ltd) Publishing date - 7th May 2015 Age range - 13+/Young Adult Thirteen year old Bully, real name Bradley, has chosen to live on the streets rather than at home with his sort-of step-father after his mother dies. It’s a miserable existence, and he’s a prey to thug Janks, who ‘taxes’ all the homeless, taking any money they might have earned. Then Bully discovers that the lottery ticket that was his last present from his mum is a winner, and he’s due millions of pounds. But he’s only got days left in which to claim his money, and Janks is out to get the ticket too.
DYSLEXIC FRIENDLY You Killed Me by Keith Gray (Barrington Stoke Ltd) Publishing date - 3rd January 2013 Age range - 13+ (reading age 8+) Award-winning Keith Gray tells a page-turning adventure with gusto and style. Comic-mad Toby wakes one morning to find a man with a badly beaten up head staring at him from the end of the bed. Worse still, the man claims that Toby killed him! Did he? Toby sets out on a quest to discover the truth. The result is a quick witted detective story and well as an entertaining journey of self-discovery.

Fierce Feelings When there’s peer pressure to take drugs By Beth Parmar, http://bethparmar.co.uk Nearly everyone ends up in a sticky peer pressure situation at some point. No matter how wisely you choose your friends, or how well you think you know them, sooner or later you may have to make decisions that are difficult and could be unpopular. It may mean sticking to your principles and refusing to do something everyone else is doing or deciding to take a stand that makes you look uncool to your group. These situations can be opportunities to figure out what is right for you. There's no magic to standing up to peer pressure, but it does take courage - yours. Here are some tips for dealing with peer pressure: • Listen to your gut. If you feel uncomfortable, even if your friends seem to be OK with what's going on, it means that something about the situation is wrong for you. This kind of decisionmaking is part of becoming self-reliant and learning more about who you are. • Plan for possible pressure situations. If you'd like to go somewhere, but you believe you may be offered alcohol or drugs there, think ahead about how you'll handle this challenge. Decide ahead of time — and even rehearse — what you'll say and do. Learn a few tricks. If you're holding a bottle of water or a can of coke, for instance, you're less likely to be offered a drink you don't want. • Do your research beforehand. Knowledge is power and if you think you may decide to drink alcohol or try drugs or other substances then spend some time finding out about them first while you are thinking clearly and can get hold of all the facts. Find out about possible side effects, dangers and important information. Don't rely on information you are told by people attempting to get you to try something for the first time about how safe it might be. • Arrange a "bail-out" code phrase you can use with your parents without losing face with your peers. You might call home when you're feeling pressured to drink alcohol, take drugs or do something you don't want to do and say, for instance, "Can you come and drive me home? I have a terrible headache." • Learn to feel comfortable saying "no." With good friends you should never have to offer an explanation or apology. But if you feel you need an excuse for, say, turning down a drink or smoke, think up a few lines you can use casually. You can always say, "No, thanks, I've got a match next week and I'm in training," or "No way — my uncle just died of lung cancer and I'm not even looking at any cigarettes." • Hang with people who feel the same way you do. Choose friends who will speak up with you when you're in need of moral support, and be quick to speak up for a friend in the same way. If you're hearing that little voice telling you a situation's not right, chances are others hear it, too. Just having one other person stand with you against peer pressure makes it much easier for both people to resist. • Blame your parents: "Are you kidding? If my mum found out, she'd kill me, and her spies are everywhere." • If a situation seems dangerous, don't hesitate to get an adult's help. It's not always easy to resist negative peer pressure, but when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterward. And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way — often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation. Your friends may follow if you have the courage to do something different or refuse to go along with the group. Consider yourself a leader, and know that you have the potential to make a difference.
Here are some top tips to keep you safe whilst at a festival... Make smart decisions, including: • Remember that you don’t have to use alcohol or other drugs to have fun. • Eat well. A full stomach slows the absorption of alcohol. • Drink in moderation. Don’t let others top up your drinks and go for low alcohol options wherever possible. You don’t want to miss your favourite band because you have passed out. • The best way to avoid drug-related problems is not to use at all. If you do, make sure you know what you’re taking and find out how to reduce the risks of overdose or injury. Never mix drugs with alcohol or other drugs. • Trust your own judgement. Don’t let peer pressure sway you into doing anything you don’t want to do. It’s okay to say no. • Keep your wits about you and stay close to friends you trust. • Take condoms with you if you think you might end up having sex – and use them. • Leave for somewhere safe if you feel unsafe - and never go off on your own. Overdoses can be avoided Drugs can cause many health problems including overdose. Safety suggestions include: • Educate yourself about drugs and their effects. Tell a friend what you are taking if you intend to take an illegal drug. They can advise the ambulance staff if necessary. • Don’t assume that medications are a safer option than illegal drugs. Medications can be dangerous, even life threatening, if used incorrectly. • Remember that illegal drugs are not manufactured to a precise formula like medicines. An illegal drug may be much stronger than you expect. It may not actually be the drug you think it is, but may contain something else. • Be aware that mixing alcohol and drugs can put you in extreme danger of overdose. The depressant effects of alcohol can mask the effects of stimulant drugs like speed. Never use alone and don’t share needles. • • Remember that if you call the ambulance, the paramedics will only get the police involved if someone feels threatened, or if there has been a death.

Drugs at festivals - Glastonbury’s advice http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk
Glastonbury is one of the most famous festivals around, and this year will celebrate its 45th year, with headliners such as The Foo Fighters, Kanye West, Florence & The Machine, Pharrell Williams, Paloma Faith and George Ezra to name a few. Back when it first started in 1970, the festival was heavily influenced by hippie ethics, including the free use of psychadelic drugs. Times have now changed, and Glastonbury, like all the major festivals, take a very serious view on drug usage. Below is taken from Glastonbury’s site. The dealing in or use of illegal drugs is not condoned by Glastonbury Festival. Drug enforcement laws are as applicable on site as any where else in the country. Police officers will be on site and will deal with drug offences in accordance with national guidelines. If you deal in drugs, it is likely that you will be arrested. Neither anti-social nor illegal behaviour will be tolerated and participants will leave themselves liable for eviction from the site. The terms and conditions of entry printed on the back of every ticket state: “You may be searched at the entrance. Any items which the organisers consider may be used in an illegal or offensive manner will be confiscated. Persons suspected of carrying out illegal and / or offensive activities onsite may be searched.” If you bring drugs with you, you risk having them confiscated and possible eviction from the Festival. And if you buy them on site, you risk getting ripped off; whether with fake substances or short deals, and with pills, powders and liquids there is a risk that what you buy could be harmful and even life threatening. The police have made big efforts in recent years to crack down on the sale of drugs at the Festival. People do get busted every year, and the Festival can have offenders thrown off the site, and refused re-admission. Experimenting with drugs can lead to adverse reactions. The crowds and the sheer size of the Festival can be very frightening and disorientating. If you do take drugs and you become ill, depressed or frightened please ask a steward to direct you to one of the many facilities on site which can help and support you. If you or anyone you know is likely to take any illegal drugs at Glastonbury, click here - it could save a life. Whatever festival you are going to, please be safe, be sensible and be aware.

Others have said that the opportunity to meet others in similar situations has resulted in lifelong friendships being formed. Alongside our regular fun days out, Teens Unite also provides many opportunities for teens to gain valuable life and career skills. From internships, to fundraising schemes, to teen organised and run events…we are here to support teens throughout their journey and to help get them to have the confidence to go forward and achieve their goals.

Fierce Fun My first Festival - what to expect... by Mica Mica is 16 and lives in Berkhamsted. This is her first festival with friends, and is going to Reading. This year the line-up for Reading and Leeds Festival is bigger than ever! Performers include Bastille, Mumford And Sons, Metallica, and many more. After speaking to a few friends of mine that went last year, it sounded like the best music event Britain has to offer; so good in fact, that I begged my parents to let me go this year. But since there are still 86 days, 11 hours and 28 minutes (at time of writing) to go until I’m standing next to the main stage, I’ve got plenty of time to get fully prepared for this experience of a lifetime. Here are a few tips that I’m hoping will make your festival adventure one to remember: 1.
Check the festival rules before you arrive so you don’t have any banned items on you, such as bottles or glass.
2.
Get a festival programme when you arrive and plan your time so you don’t miss out on your favourite bands
3.
Use a hand sanitizer before eating and after using the toilets.
4.
Nothing ruins your festival more than feeling cold and soggy if the rain comes down. If you’re attending a UK festival, you may need to be prepared for rain. Umbrellas get in the way so focus on packing appropriate clothing that will keep you warm and dry. On the same note, the sun may well shine, so you should pack for heat as well.
5.
Arrange a meeting point with your friends in case you lose them during the day – something tall that doesn’t move would be a good idea.
Before you go, there are a few essentials that you can’t forget to shove in your suitcase: • • • • • • • • • •
Tent, roll mat and sleeping bag Comfy t-shirts that you wont mind getting dirty Plenty of face/baby wipes and dry shampoo Waterproofs Sturdy, snug, sensible shoes Enough underwear for the duration of the festival A bum bag that is big enough to hold your cash, phone and any other valuables A thick hoody or jumper that will keep you warm Sun cream And REMEMBER YOUR TICKETS
Make this summer one you’ll never forget - have a blast at whatever festival you’re attending; I know I will!

Don’t worry if you missed out on some of the festivals in this country, check out what else is around in the rest of the world - and it’s not all about the music, these prices also include tours, and some even include your ticket, transfer and hot breakfasts!!! 1. Bilbao BBK Live (Spain) - 9-11 July from £307, 2 days, camping Epic mountain acoustics, a line up of legendary hair-whipping guitar solos and three days of hilltop revelry in the heart of Spain’s Basque Country - this was never going to be your average gig. From small beginnings, BBK has been solidly built on rock - with past head-bangers including The Cure, Guns ‘n’ Roses, REM and the Prodigy. Expect a laid back Spanish crowd, that come down later on Bilbao’s lush beaches. 2. Exit - Electronic, rock and pop (Serbia) 9-12 July from £399, 6 days, hostel What started as a youth protest against a hated regime has fast become one of Europe’s most formidable rock, pop, hip hop and electronic music festivals. Up to 260,000 guests came last yearto party in Novi Sad, at an historial 300 year old Serbian river fortress. The setting is almost as incredible as the line up - including the likes of Rudimental, Skrillex, Damon Albarn and Disclosure.
3. Ultra (Croatia) - 17-19 July from £294, 6 days, camping Lasers, lights, balmy Croatian glowstick nights and the world’s greatest DJs conducting a crowd of neon ravers - this is Europe’s most electric dance festival. The younger sibling to Miami’s pioneering Ultra bash, sun-soaked Split officially spins the decks for three days. However, hardcore hedonists gear up on yachts for days beforehand and wind down with legendary after parties on the beaches of Croatia’s paradise islands. past acts included David Guetta, Tiesto, Disclosure and Paul Van Dyke.
4. Benicassim (Spain) - 18-21 July from £199, 5 days, camping Bordering on somewhere between energetic and completely mental, Spain’s biggest music festival is pure class. Over 4 days, the music starts at 5pm and finishes at 7am, and every day you can chill and recover on the beach under the guaranteed Valenican sunshine before being entertained by some of the hottest acts in music. 2014 headliners included Kasabian, Tinie Tempah and Ellie Golding.
5. Soundwave sailing and dance (Croatia) - 6-10 August from £725, 8 days, sailing Leaving from Zadar, cruise via the Kornati Islands to the party island of Pag before immersing yourself in two days of cutting-edge electronica DJs and live bands. With jazz, reggae, house and hip hop, Soundwave is one of Croatia’s most eclectic festivals. 6. Sziget music and culture (Hungary) - 10-17 August from £885, 10 days, hostel Now into it’s 23rd year, Sziget keeps on getting bigger and better, attracting 400,000 fans (half of whom are from outside Hungary) to an island in the middle of the Danube. 2014 headliners included Calvin Harris, Deadmau5, Bastille, Lily Allen, London Grammar and Queens of the Stone Age, but Sziget isn’t just about it’s music - make time to discover theatre, dance, cabaret and performance arts.
And for those wanting something a bit different to music...
7. La Tomatina (Spain) - 26th August from £185, 3 days, camping Take one small Spanish town, add truckloads of ripe tomatoes and ask 20,000 revellers to throw them at each other for a solid hour. How is this sensible behaviour from grown adults??? And more importantly, who cares when it’s this much fun! You can make your own way to Valencia or build it into your hopon-hop-off coach trip with Busabout.
And for something further afield... 8. Full Moon Party, (Koh Phangan) - from £87, 4 days, The world’s most famous beach party is the world’s most famous beach party for a reason! What began in 1985 as a beach bash in a wooden hut for around 30 people is now a Thai institution, attracting up to 30,000 revellers every month. Cue 12 sound systems, more beach bars than you can shake a bucket at and you’ve got yourself the Full Moon Party that we know and love today. With three nights accommodation in Koh Samui and return high-speed tranfers to the party, you're all set to go! This will be a hangover to remember!

What food to take with you to festivals Vicky’s Flip Flop gives you the low down on the best food to take with you to a festival... http://vickyflipfloptravels.com/best-food-for-festivals/
Image credit - Paul Box
Light, cheap, can be cooked on a camping stove and hardy to the changing weather elements – that’s what you want from your festival food choices. Some festivals will have a comprehensive eating area where the food is the star attraction, along with the acts of course. These foodie festivals like to have artisan foods in and keep their vegetarian, gluten-free, pescatarian and meat needers alike all happy together. But you just never know, so when it comes to food at festivals in pays to be prepared. You’ll also save money at your festival by taking your own scram along. I’ve only ever been to one festival that didn’t let you take food in and that was Field Day in 2012. It was sad. Everyone was sat out the front chomping away at their carefully prepared sandwiches. They seemed to have relaxed a bit in 2013, but as I say, best to be prepared. If you’re taking your food into the festival with you, here’s what I’d recommend… Healthy festival food Cereal – I like to eat Weetabix Minis straight out the box, but feel free to substitute for your cereal of choice. Dried fruit – great for keeping you regular and getting your 5-a-day in amongst all these sweets, chocolate, bread and crisps you’ll no doubt consume. Also great in the couscous mentioned below. Yogurt drinks – a little heavier to carry than I’d prefer, but at least the bottles are robust and will assist the dried fruit in the digestion. Oranges – now here’s a bit of refreshing health for you, and they come in their own handy packaging too. Frozen berries – these can be used for ice as long as they last, and then you can eat them by the handful
Semi-healthy festival food Couscous – cheap, easy to make with hot water and semi healthy, mix with the raisins above. Cereal bars – great for a snack on the go and for carrying around in your bag by day. Beans – always good to have in storage when you get desperate – heat them up and stick them in a wrap and they’ll be well tasty. Flapjacks – my friend once made a batch of these for Glasto, delicious and went in just a few hours. Transport well. Nuts – full of good fats, filling and easy to carry around, grab yourself a big bag of these hubs of deliciousness. Unhealthy festival food Sausages and bacon – at Glastonbury the weather was so cold the first few days we were fine to have sausages and bacon to cook on our camping stove. Shame I burnt them, but down the hatch they still went. Bread rolls – mmm crisp sandwiches, see below. Cheese – depends on the heat but could be delicious for the first day or two with your crisp sandwich. Sweets – yep yep, you need the energy so stick them in the shopping basket. Chocolate – same, go for the Double Deckers, my favourite. Crisps – light and cheap, perfect for your festival binge. Pot Noodles – pretty much lived off these at Reading Festival. We actually took a few trays of them with us and sold them on at a profit. Biscuits – always good with a cup of tea, and definitely needed for energy levels throughout the day. I’d always go for Cadbury’s Fingers, or maybe a digestive? Wraps – more robust than bread and thanks to the hefty packaging on some brands they’ll withstand the epic weather conditions at British festivals. Marshmallows – obviously, needed for the possible camp fire opportunities. Follow Vicky’s travels on her blog - http://vickyflipfloptravels.com/best-food-for-festivals

Fierce Food Being BBQ safe
Reading Festival’s information guide to keeping safe when using a BBQ http://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/advice/seasonal_advice/bbq_safety.aspx
For many of you, it’s the first time you have been away without an adult, and where you have to do the cooking. Please take five minutes to read this information as it could just save your life. In recent years there have been a number of fatalities and injuries as a result of people bringing BBQ’s into enclosed spaces and being overcome by carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous substance which is created when fossil fuels such as gas and solid fuels like charcoal and wood fail to combust fully due to a lack of oxygen. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it but it can kill quickly with no warning. If you’re planning on using a BBQ , whether it’s a disposable one, gas or charcoal make sure you keep yourself safe and don’t put yourself at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Follow these top tips for BBQ safety: • • • • • •
Never take a smouldering or lit BBQ into a tent, caravan or cabin. Even if you have finished cooking your BBQ should remain outside as it will still give off fumes for some hours after use Never use a BBQ inside to keep you warm Never leave a lit BBQ unattended or while sleeping Place your cooking area well away from your tent. Always ensure there is an adequate supply of fresh air in the area where the BBQ is being used Only use your BBQ in accordance with the operating instructions Remember the signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning – headaches, dizziness, breathlessness, nausea, collapse and loss of consciousness.
If you’re using a gas BBQ or gas camping equipment follow these extra tips to help you stay safe: •
Check that the appliance is in good order, undamaged and that hoses are properly attached and undamaged. If in doubt get the hoses replaced or don’t use it • Make sure the gas taps are turned off before changing the gas cylinder and do it in the open air • Don’t over-tighten joints • When you have finished cooking, turn off the gas cylinder before you turn off the BBQ controls – this means any gas in the pipeline will be used up • Read the manufacturer’s instructions about how to check for gas escapes from hoses or pipework, e.g. brushing leak detection solution around all joints and looking for bubbles • Never take a gas stove, light or heater into a tent, caravan or cabin. Take care this summer and don’t put yourself, your family or friends at risk.
