EDITORIAL Grace Mitchell Nexus Editor editor@nexusmag.co.nz

There are some debates where it’s simply easier to avoid. Anti-vaxxers, the Flat Earth community, aggressive religious people, chemtrail believers, and climate change denialists; in my experience, they tend to defend their opinion to the death, even if you’re able to disprove each and every one of their conspiracies (Chemtrails? Seriously? Please Wikipedia it). Trust me, this is like half of my extended family. I’m usually an advocate for simply avoiding these kinds of arguments. But, climate change is one thing that I don’t fuck around with (in saying that, of course a certain managing editor had to fuck with it all over pg.9). I know I’ve harped on about the environmental shit before, but uh, I’m going to justify it since we’re kinda in a state of global emergency. Here’s one thing my ecology professor said that kinda blew my mind: sudden peaks in temperature in the Earth’s history (not dissimilar to the one we’re experiencing) are always followed by mass extinction events. As in, most life on Earth pretty much fucking dies. So yeah, we could keep insisting that the tonnes of extra greenhouse gases pouring into the atmosphere are basically replicating natural events, but do we really want to induce our own extinction, acidify the oceans, melt the glaciers and kill the baby polar bears? That’s a no from me. Anyway, rant over. With this super cold weather, it’s been hard to find the motivation to get out of bed lately, right? Well, our feature covers some tips on how you can keep your chin up at a time of year that’s frankly pretty bloody depressing. Better things are coming, dudes - and that’s not just because some of us finally got around to nabbing RnV tickets. Take care of yourself, and here’s one last tidbit from a biology student - vitamin C tablets will do nothing when you’re sick except give you pricier piss, and antibiotics don’t fix viral problems.

THE ZERO CARBON POLICY Todd Harper News Editor todd@nexusmag.co.nz

This week the New Zealand government introduced the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Bill. This Bill aims to reduce all greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero by 2050. It is going to provide a series of emissions budgets to act as stepping stones towards the long-term target. However, this excludes biogenic methane, which in short means cows’ (and other livestock) flatulence. The target for biogenic methane level is 24% below the 2017 levels. After the Bill was announced a few weeks ago by the government, groups and individuals around the country have called this ‘fuel to the urban-rural divide’. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says climate change is the biggest challenge facing the international community and New Zealand. “We’ve built a practical consensus across Government that creates a plan for the next 30 years, which provides the certainty industries need to get in front of this challenge.” When the zero carbon law comes into play it will:

. Set a new greenhouse gas emissions reduction target to:

-Reduce all greenhouse gases (except biogenic methane) to net zero by 2050. -Reduce emissions of biogenic methane within the range of 24–47% below 2017 levels by 2050 including to 10% below 2017 levels by 2030.

. Set a series of emissions budgets to act as stepping stones towards the long-term target.

. Require the government to develop and implement

policies for climate change adaptation and mitigation.

. Establish a new, independent Climate Change Commission that will provide expert advice and monitoring to help keep successive governments on track to meeting longterm goals. 8

As the global climate continues to oscillate beyond expected temperatures, sea-levels are rising at dramatic levels. The insurance council of New Zealand released a statement saying that NIWA has conducted research that shows 125,600 buildings would be hit by a sea level rise of up to one metre. These buildings would cost $38 billion to replace. “With these sea level rises come increasing risks from storms and coastal inundation, as well as the increased risks of ever higher water tables and sunny day flooding," "Failing to adapt will cost us greatly and the longer we delay, the more that cost will increase," said Insurance Council Chief Executive Tim Grafton. This Bill announced by the government comes just weeks after recent protests from hundreds of New Zealanders throughout the country. School students led these strikes in a bid to call for action against climate change. Minister for Climate Change James Shaw says New Zealanders have made it clear they want leadership and consensus on climate change legislation. “In March this year, tens of thousands of New Zealand school students went on strike to protest the lack of decisive action on climate change. We hear them. The Zero Carbon Bill outlines our plan to safeguard the future that those school students will inherit. “The independent Climate Change Commission, established by the Bill, will support our emissions reduction targets through advice, guidance, and regular five-yearly 'emissions budgets'. “Agriculture is incredibly important to New Zealand, but it also needs to be part of the solution. That is why we have listened to the science and also heard the industry and created a specific target for biogenic methane. The split gases approach we’ve agreed on is consistent with that commitment.” In contrast, farmers and other members of the dairy and agriculture community in New Zealand are ‘highlyconcerned,’ saying that this change could have more of a negative effect than a positive one. Beef & Lamb NZ says they want a more ‘fair-approach’ to the targets based off more than just the science. “We want each gas to be reduced by its warming-impact.”

SHORT NEWS FOR TALL PEOPLE

National may not pass the bong According to National’s Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett, the party is not in a position to confirm whether they would pass legislation on drug reform or legalisation even if people voted for it in a referendum. Ironically, people being high while voting may be the only way Simon Bridges becomes the desired Prime Minister next year. More Maori Media Nanaia Mahuta, Hamilton’s only cool politician, is adding her voice to the call for more Māori media, stating recently that “Māori have a desire to share their stories with the world, but want assurances the knowledge will be protected from exploitation. In addition, Māori media want easier access and the ability to access archival content,” adding that her cabinet was hopeful they could do something by the end of the year. "Have I got dilated eyes? No, I haven't". Winston Peters when asked if he had smoked marijuana.

Al Gillespie saves the world Beloved lecturer and “friend” of Nexus Al Gillespie recently had a piece re-published on the University website titled “How to end the Afghanistan War” which featured lines we can make fun of out of context, like “The opposing sides need to work out how to ensure a comprehensive ceasefire.” To be clear, we aren’t making fun of a respected professor here, but rather the notion that the University is putting it on a website like “we have had the answer this whole time, why didn’t they check in with Al a decade ago?” The Polytech is stealing all your money A week out from the government’s self-proclaimed wellbeing budget and they have decided to announce some changes in education; specifically, taking money out of fees free (stupid fucking name) and giving it to ITPs. When asked for comment, Grant Robertson said: "What I'm saying is it's still our policy – but clearly we want to make sure whatever we do in the vocational, post-school tertiary education space is appropriate for the future and those decisions will be made closer to the time." In short, not enough people want to go to Massey for free, so the government said fuck it, let’s give the money to welders, roofers and tradies.

One of my favourite songs of all time is the Diaz Grimm x Beat Mafia collaboration, Motivation. If you’ve never heard of Diaz before, just know that he is a fucking legend. To give you an idea of his hustle, he was the guy behind all of those parties you went to in Cambridge a few years back. He got so fed up with not having any hip-hop acts come through his small town, he actually did something about it - booking heroes like Dei Hamo and Savage to play in essentially the middle of nowhere. The thing I love about the track Motivation is how he frames the subject. Success, to him at least, isn’t about being better than anyone else, or putting himself on a pedestal - he wants to see everyone succeed in their own way, at their own thing. That’s his motivation. He believes in that. The fact that his mission statement is so clear and so pure is probably what contributed the most to his success. He had a ‘why.’ But if you’re not Diaz Grimm, it’s harder than ever to motivate yourself to do anything. Bite-sized, shareable ‘hustling’ advice (like Gary Vee yelling in your face, or those quotes people post on Instagram which are the modern-day equivalent of “if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best”) is fine for the short term, but that shit just doesn’t last. It might make you want to go for a run, or bust out an hour of study, but it’s not gonna hold the next time you have an especially shitty day. The thing is, you have to really, truly believe in the reason behind the things you do to be motivated

enough to actually follow through on shit. If you’re studying law because your parents told you that you should do it, it’s probably not gonna work out. If you’re doing a comms degree cos you didn’t know what else to do, it’s probably not gonna work out. But if you know that you want to be a lawyer to pursue justice, or do PR for local charities that might be struggling, assignments aren’t going to feel like work to you - they’ll just be another step you have to take on your way to making the world a better place. Now, knowing your ‘why’ is helpful for getting things done in the long term, but for the short term, being motivated doesn’t even come close to being disciplined (which is probably the topic for a whole other article). Getting up early, looking after your body, setting time aside each day to work on your goals - these are the things you’ll have to do if you want to do the thing. Having a flash of creative energy or looking for a sign are gonna work sometimes, but the world isn’t going to wait for you to find your like, vibe or whatever. There’s a quote worth knowing that’s something like “if you have a why you can bear almost any how.” Motivation doesn’t mean shit if you don’t know why you’re doing the things you’re doing. And if you do need a little kick in the right direction, I would recommend you look up the song Motivation by Diaz Grimm and Beat Mafia.

ways to Warm Up This Winter Have a root - and we don’t mean the vegetable kind. It’s scientifically proven that sexual intercourse has an 87% chance of making you feel warmer.

MULLET OF THE WEEK: Devon This interview was conducted at FMG stadium with the sound of cowbells clanging in the background. A streaker (mulleted) charged onto the field just before the interview. Our interviewee is not only a Waikato resident, a hunter, a truck owner, and a prop, but he has a pet name for his hair cut: The Mully.

Just leave your heater on 24/7 haha! If your flatmates plead you to turn it off, just deny it was you and keep racking up the bills anyway - it’s called survival of the fittest, sweetie. Enter hibernation - Give up on fighting the cold. Throw in the towel and have a doze until RnV rolls around again. Stop shaving - Facial hair, armpits, legs, pubes...the whole shebang. The hair provides a layer of warmth; go back to your monkey roots. I think it’s called Paleo. Grow some blubber - The more you eat, the more fat you’ll have, and therefore the warmer you’ll be, right…? Huddle up - Get intimate with your flatmates/hall buddies by huddling for warmth in the evenings. Move down South for a wee bit A few days in Invercargill will be enough to make you realise that hey, it’s a fuckload warmer, we can do this - and also, that Invercargill is shit. Get some big ol’ ears - Jackrabbits have massive ears that act as natural radiators to warm them up. Conclusion = don’t pin your ears back, you adorable Dumbo-lookin’ wanker. Have another root - 2 roots per winter is a pretty solid, good on you champ. Just, like, don’t be cold It’s not that hard. 14

NEXUS: So- what was involved in your decision to get a mullet? Oh… I didn’t have a haircut for about three months and I shaved my head to a kina mullet. So there was no hair on top of my head, yeah, just went for a hearty kina mullet. And then got a bit fancy and got a comb over mullet- OH! IN THE CORNER! *Chiefs set up a beautiful try over their northern rivals: The Blues*... Ah, yeah, I got a pair of shavers at home, so I pretty much just look in the mirror and start shaving the top off and in the end result you get a fuckin’ duck tail pretty much. Cut all the shit in the front, leave the back and yeah, that’s pretty much how it goes. NEXUS: What have been some of the reactions to your mullet? Ah, all the old boys, ay, like, past generations before me, like I was at the supermarket the other day, and he was like “bro, I love your haircut”, “Churr”. All the old boys love it, ay. They got a bit of respect for the mully, ay, especially in New Zealand How has the mullet affected your rugby playing abilities? Yeah, nah, it’s pretty good ay. I don’t know, it’s a good cushion behind my neck because I play prop. So a little bit of extra cushion Any upcoming plans for the mullet? Nahh, just keep growing it out. Yeah, another good, experience: shot a deer last week, got the mully full of blood. That was pretty cool

CRUSH OF THE WEEK:

People who get emotionally attached to fictional characters We’ve all done it; Grey’s Anatomy, Avengers, even Desperate Housewives. Sobbing after the loss of your favourite character is the peak of emotional vulnerability. It doesn’t matter if they die or if the actor just decided to go down a different path; that shit hits hard. Do you really want to have a relationship with someone who wasn’t upset by the loss of Donna from the Mamma Mia franchise? With someone who isn’t affected by all the Starks we’ve lost in Game of Thrones? Head up guys, no one wants to hang around with people who lack the emotional maturity to invest feelings in people who aren’t real.

Going Postgrad

View

Whether you’re in your final year and trying to think of ways to avoid the real world for a bit longer, or just an ambitious fresher, tagging on some extra study to your undergrad might float your waka. But navigating the waters of postgraduate study options practically requires a PhD all on its own. To save you having to trawl through the regs, here’s your quick guide to all things postgrad.

Help

UNDER EMPLOYED

Graduate certificate (60 points)/Graduate Diploma (120 points) This is when you already have a degree, but you want to add some more study at undergraduate level without having to take a whole other degree. It’s like taking another undergraduate major or minor, which is great if you want to change to a different field or upskill in something that complements your degree. Like, if Julian did computer science, and created a robot that could destroy the world, he might decide to take a Grad Dip in philosophy and ethics to decide whether or not he should. Postgraduate certificate (60 points)/Postgraduate Diploma (120 points) These quals are studied at the next level up from undergrad and usually require self-directed research, in the same subject as your undergraduate degree. They’re often used as stepping stones to masters degrees. Or an exit qual if it turns out you can’t quite hack a whole masters. Masters Ok, this is where it gets a bit complicated. Masters can be anywhere from 120 – 240 points depending on your entry qual. If you’re going straight from a bachelor degree, you’ll have to do at least 180 points. All your papers will be at postgraduate level (500-level). There are actually three types of masters, but that isn’t really spelled out anywhere: - Taught Masters: same subject as your undergrad degree and the majority of your papers are taught classes. You might include a 30-point or 60-point research paper. - Research Masters: same subject as your undergrad degree. You may take some taught classes but will include a thesis (research project) of either 90 or 120 points. This is a pathway to PhD study. - Conversion Masters: usually a professional qualification, in a different area of study from your undergrad degree, e.g. accounting or teaching. Doctoral study And finally, the big kahuna. A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the usual path, but you can also do a Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science or Doctor of Musical Arts. Three years of full-time self-directed research resulting in a mahoosive thesis. Not for the faint of heart! This is a super quick intro to postgrad study, and there are lots of other things you need to know. So if you’re thinking about postgrad study make sure you talk to an adviser in your faculty to get all the deets! 17

D I L A V Best Boujee Brunch In The City Kahn Stevenson Cinnamon Cafe $$ A cute cafe only 8 minutes from The Base, allowing you to drop in for eggs benedict and good coffee at a reasonable price before carrying on with some Sunday afternoon shopping. Has a great selection of cabinet food and you can’t go wrong with the hotcakes or bagels presented by the super friendly staff. Two Birds Eatery $$$ Great selection of slices and smoothies. The food’s locally sourced and free-range, with plenty of vegan options. Though prices may be a little high, it caters for those who are gluten-free and doesn’t skimp on quality. Plus it’s got your trendy, gram-worthy smoothie and Buddha bowls, so you never have to miss out on those fitness blog likes. Grey Gardens $$ Well-priced food, especially when it comes to coffee and bagels. A unique atmosphere distanced from the bustle of Grey Street with a vintage swing. The cafe is super vegan, even though it charges a little extra for plantbased milk, but the iced coffee is worth it. 18

Grey Street Kitchen $$$ Upmarket and a little pricey, but it doesn’t lack in quality. Avocado smash and chicken waffles are among the best options on the menu, alongside some good coffee and approachable staff. Really busy at peak times but totally worth the wait, especially for the desserts. Hayes Common $$$$ Highly priced but super good value for money. With a separate menu dedicated to weekend brunching and packed with vegan options, it boasts some exotic options including coconut rice, miso roasted eggplant, and fried pickles - there’s something to tempt everyone. What increase there is in price caters to the quality of food, and the riverside view makes an excellent background for those group snaps. Nourish Pod $$ Well priced raw, vegan food and plenty of açai bowls. The perfect option for anyone on a health kick, with everything being plant-based and all meat options costing extra. It caters well for gluten and dairy free diets, and it’s a wet dream for the food blogger Instagram. You can’t go wrong with some cheap and healthy food, especially for a morning after liver cleanse.

Kirk Cafe $$$$ A trendy spot with all your alty meal options. Don't pass up on the green tea crepes or the papaya lime chicken salad. It is a bit higher in the price range, but it doesn't hurt the pocket as much as some of the other places on this list. Located in a quiet part of the city, there’s no need to worry about the bustling streets triggering a hangover headache. A hipster paradise with deconstructed hot drinks and Snapchat story worthy plates. Mavis & Co $$$ With three spots across the city, there’s something on the menu for all. A diverse selection of international, gluten, dairy-free, and vegan options; some at a steep price, but most won’t break the bank (too much). The burgers are highly recommended, alongside the variety of somewhat expensive breakfast menu items. In saying that, the cabinet food is tasty and affordable, the smoothies make a good boomerang for the gram, and the expensive looking interior can definitely glam up your morning.

Unless you’ve been hiding under your bed for the past month, you might have noticed that autumn has greeted us with some rather chilly weather. Unfortunately, assignments and exams prevent us from hibernating, but fear not, here are some mean ways to keep warm without having to cut out the weekly trip to Maccas.

For you DIY fans out there and Engineering Majors: Why not get creative with a flower pot and a few candles? This makeshift heater is cheap to make and provides a “green” alternative to gas and wall heaters. Warning: This device will only heat up a small room and needs to be kept out of reach of children, cats and the mate heavy on the cruisers.

Start your day with a warm breakfast Not only is it super filling for you health nuts out there, but it will keep your body warm and give you that extra energy boost to help kick you out the door.

- Grab a small flower pot (a terracotta or ceramic pot. DO NOT USE PLASTIC.)

Layer Up! Simple enough right? Heating the person sitting in the room is probably the cheapest way to go rather than heating up the room itself. Whip out those woolly socks, grab those extra blankets and settle in with a cup of hot chocolate. And why not heat up your bed with a warm water bottle instead of an electric blanket? Close any rooms that you’re not using This creates an insulated space that not only heats up faster but stays warmer for longer. If you want to get really savvy, heat one room and enjoy some quality time with the mates. Nothing wrong with movie time or a study party, and it works out way cheaper than everyone using their own room heaters.

- Fold a tea towel in half and place it flat in the desired location of the heater. Grab a bowl bigger than the flower pot and put it on top of the towel. Make sure it's a bowl you wouldn’t mind getting candle wax in. - Place the candles in the bowl and light em up. - Place a metal cooling rack on top of the bowl.

- Finally place the pot upside down over the candles and place a coin over the hole. One pot works fine but an extra pot or two over the original pot to provide insulation that will radiate the heat more. They do get really hot so best not to try handle it with bare hands. For a YouTube tutorial, search: How to Keep Warm this Winter Life Hacks. Just a few ways to ward off the hard nippies, but plenty of room to get creative! Stay warm fam x.

The cold winter nights are starting to settle in around the Waikato and for many students, this means an increase in power bills. Choosing the right power company for your flat can help save you those extra dollars for something a tad more exciting. Luckily Nexus has done a bit of the groundwork for you; here’s the down low on three different power companies that may help you keep those winter bills to a minimum.

There are some important things to remember when setting up or changing your power company in your flat. Figure out how you’ll pay your bills, keep your account details up to date if people move in or out, keep an eye on your bills, and call your provider if you think anything is wrong. And lastly, remember to close your account when you move out so you don’t end up paying for someone else's power.

Powershop Powershop allows you to buy power bundles called power packs. These let you top up anytime, buy power to be used in the future and make it easy to know how much you’ll be spending. They also offer packs that donate a percentage to charity or go to towards Powershops low emissions programme if you’re feeling a little generous. These work well as long as you have one flatmate dedicated to checking on your power use and finding the best power packs.

Electric Kiwi Electric Kiwi is a small power company but credits that this allows them to be flexible and affordable. They offer no contracts, which means there's no sign-up fees, no termination fees, and no sneaky catches. The best feature about Electric Kiwi has got to be their hour of free power during off-peak times. You can choose any hour between 9 am-5 pm or 9 pm-7 am to use power in your flat free of charge. A great time to chuck on all the washing and go wild on the heat pump. Energy Online Energy Online advertise themselves as brilliantly simple with great prices, which is good for students who find it hard to get their heads around everything to do with bills and responsibility. They also have no contracts or exit fees and are often offering new sign-up promotions which are a cheeky way to save a bit of money by swapping companies each winter. An added bonus is they offer a 20% prompt payment discount.

Dylan Todd dylan@nexusmag.co.nz It’s a surefire way to waste solid hours of our precious weeks, but scrolling aimlessly through Netflix is something that’s become all a part of the experience. The problem is, oftentimes we don’t realise what we might be scrolling past. Here’s a couple top notch things that people seem to have missed out on, all of which are slightly better ways to spend the time you’d usually waste scrolling

The Lobster Film, dir. Yorgos Lanthimos, 2015 Ever feel like in a post-Tinder world, trying to start actual romantic relationships can seem a little awkward sometimes? There’s a film for that. The Lobster is an awkward, obnoxious and uncomfortable film about love and lies, full of rigid and slightly unsettling performances from actors we’ve seen do the opposite in the past. Dark and brooding in a way that’s less foreboding and intense than it is just depressing, the film’s director Yorgos Lanthimos leaves you somewhat entranced by the madness of this heavy-handedly metaphorical and really quite British romp. Give it a go; you might hate it, but it’s still something you’ll be glad you watched.

Midnight Diner/Samurai Gourmet Series, 10 eps/12 eps, 2016/2017 Watching a show with subtitles is hard for those who’ve never done much of it before. Watching a show where literally just about nothing happens in every episode is also hard for those who’ve never done it before. So I’m challenging you to do both in one go by watching either Midnight Diner, the show about a tiny little restaurant that opens at midnight and the ridiculous people that visit, or Samurai Gourmet, the show about a retiree reminiscing about his life through food. Both encapsulate the low budget comfy-ness that only the Japanese have mastered and, truth be told, do wonders for putting you in a good mood, and maybe make you crave something a bit more exotic than Maccas nuggets.

NEXUS MAGAZINE / ISSUE 11

Safe Series, 8 eps, 2018 If you want something easy, tune into this crime drama that borders on being a soap opera. Following the aftermath of a high-school party mostly filled with the children of affluent British families, a widower from a gated community discovers his daughter’s gone missing. In trying to discover where she’s gone and what’s happened to her, he starts to unravel a number of things that had slipped him by in the years leading to the series. It’s an entertaining ride that genuinely does sneak a surprise on you a couple times in its 8-episode runtime, and at 45 minutes an episode, that’s an absolute unit of a background binging session.

Limmy’s Show Series, 18 eps, 2010-2013 For those of you familiar with Limmy, you’d be surprised by the number of people who aren’t. Despite skits from the show still circulating on Facebook today, few realise that the absurd genius of Limmy’s non-cringey interpretation of the “XD random” humour of the early 2010s is available in full on Netflix, right now. I don’t think there’s any way to explain it other than, if you like laughing at your cooked friends being cooked, you’ll probably like the deranged humour of Limmy’s Show.

Annihilation Film, dir. Alex Garland, 2018 From the director of Ex Machina and original writer of the infamous DiCaprio film The Beach, Annihilation is an attempt at “cosmic horror”, where the evil villain of the film is less of a monster chasing down the good guys, and moreso the world itself. Annihilation does an all right job of it, and a pretty good job of keeping your attention for the ride. Visually, it’s inspired, colourful and exciting, the interesting cinematography and setpieces likely being the key aspect that really draws the audience in and keeps them entertained. The all-female cast do a great job of fuelling the unease of the world they inhabit, and I’m avoiding all spoilers when I say this, but the final act of the film is the most excitingly unexciting series of scenes in the film thanks to genius tension and an ever-mounting discomfort.

WINTER IS COMING Marnie Hunter

marnie@nexusmag.co.nz

Oddly enough, this is not an article on the everanticipated eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, even though the incest on the show would probably make it a lot easier to find a cuddle buddy for the colder months. With New Zealand having just had its hottest summer to date, some of us may be welcoming in the cooler temperatures with open arms as we move through Autumn. However, as we say goodbye to the excessive amount of sweating and hours spent in front of a fan, I feel many of us are losing sight of the fact that winter is an absolute bitch. Not only do we dislike winter for the bone-chilling temperatures and what feels like never-ending rain, but we also dislike it for the shitty way it makes us feel. Whether we are aware of it or not, the transition into the colder seasons can have a significant effect on our mood and our overall happiness. Before we know it, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;winter bluesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have settled in. This will have most likely affected you at some stage in your life, but some struggle with this seasonal change more than others; those being the sufferers of seasonal affective disorder, ironically abbreviating to SAD. 26

SAD vs Sad While feeling sad and feeling seasonally depressed may seem similar, knowing the difference is incredibly important. Sadness is a human emotion that usually stems from a specific trigger and passes with time. However, depression is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain and a mental disorder that has an overpowering effect on someone's life. Be patient and understanding with those who you know to or think might struggle with depression, and realise that their feelings of sadness may not pass or resolve as easily as yours do. SAD, more commonly known as seasonal depression, is a regularly occurring form of depression that usually begins in Autumn before worsening in winter. While it may sound ridiculous to the untrained ear, between 10-20% of people suffer from this disorder, with three-quarters of this statistic being women. It is said to be caused by the decrease in exposure to sunlight that comes with the winter months, with lower amounts of light causing the internal biological clock to shift, and in some cases causing the brain to produce more melatonin. This is the chemical known to affect sleeping patterns, meaning that increased melatonin can make people become sluggish and constantly tired. Hence, the colder temperatures and greyer days can send some into a depressive state, and this is what brings me back to my main and much less scientific point: winter is a nasty bitch.

Therefore, with May being Mental Health Awareness month and a time where we truly start to notice the drop in temperature, I’m here to give you some tips on how to look out for yourself and your mates this winter and maybe even enjoy it. Tip 1: Get Out and About As the days get colder and gloomier, it is incredibly tempting to stay huddled up inside all day in the safety of your dressing gown and bed socks. And while this may be a form of self-care some days, make sure it doesn’t become a form of self-destruction on other days. The days where you feel like you don’t want to get out of bed and function are often the days when you need it the most. Find little things that motivate you to get out of the house, whether it be an opportunity to wear that cool winter coat you bought, or the reward of a hot drink to warm your frozen hands, make sure you find joy in the small things. Tip 2: Get Chatting If you take anything away from this piece of winter hate mail, please let it be this. As mentioned earlier, winter has a way of getting people down, meaning that it is important that you check in on how the people around you are doing. Mental health is a tough topic for many people to talk about, and it is often shied away from even when you are amongst your closest of friends. So what can you do to get the conversation started? It is often as simple as a “how have you been doing?” and gentle encouragement to delve deeper past the standard “yeah good mate, how are you?” answer. Ways to do this include talking about yourself and your own experiences, asking twice when their first response is “I’m fine,” and addressing the elephant in the room. It might feel rude to ask someone directly about their mental health, but if it’s done in a kind and respectful way, it often gives people the push they need to open up. Either way, regardless of how you start the conversation, be patient and ready to listen. So what do you do when YOU need to talk? Your first step is to acknowledge that you are not alone in your challenge with mental health, and there is absolutely no shame attached to the way you are feeling. Your mental health is equally as important as your physical health and needs to be exercised and looked after as well. Talking to friends and family is a great outlet, but if you don’t feel comfortable doing so, there are plenty of handy tools that allow you to put your feelings into words. New Zealand has many available helplines, plus the University of Waikato provides students with five free counselling sessions per year.

Tip 3: Stay Active As touched on in Tip 1, getting out of bed and out of the house is much easier said than done during winter. It means that convincing yourself to get into exercise gear and be active is even harder, but is super important. Exercise pumps blood to the brain allowing you to think more clearly, stimulates chemicals in your brains that improve your mood and increases your core temperature through the extra blood flow – massive hack for the colder months! We're not saying you need to sign up to a gym and start an 8-week body transformation but make an effort to keep the blood moving. That can be as simple as going for a walk around the lake or doing a fun activity like rock-climbing - it's as easy as that. So what to take away from all this? Participate, Don’t Hibernate. While it may feel like the more comfortable option to shy away from the world this winter, keep your momentum and look out for yourself and your mates. We won’t beat around the bush here, winter fucking sucks, but with a little effort here and there it can suck a whole lot less. Other Winter-Warming Tips! - If you’re with Electric Kiwi, buy a heater and blast it during your free hour of power. If you’re not with Electric Kiwi, honestly what are you doing? - Close your curtains before it gets dark to trap in the heat. - Invest in bed socks - socks in bed is mostly a big no, but when your curtains are blowing in the breeze that’s seeping through the windows of your shitty flat, you’ve gotta do what you gotta do. - Find a cuddle buddy - no better warmth than body warmth! You’ve had your fun during summer, but now it’s time to find someone to snuggle up to for the next few months. Of course, this is only until it starts getting a bit warmer again, and your single summer/winter relationship cycle can continue. Disclaimer: if you choose this tip, get rid of the bed socks. - Buy a hot water bottle! Only $6 from the warehouse, but absolutely priceless in my eyes.

IDK WHERE EP - Yeek

Comprised of six tracks, Yeek released a new EP, IDK WHERE, merely a couple of days ago – and listening to it for the very first time while writing this review, I have to say I’m impressed. Yeek has definitely improved since his earlier works, though still staying true to his signature sound. Relentlessly transforming the indie music scene throughout his time, Yeek continues doing so with his sunsoaked uplifting tunes which are rooted in his South Florida upbringing. With powerful and emotive lyrics accompanying the dreamy pop-infused soundtrack and visuals, Yeek manages to both woo listeners and defy categorisation once again.

Kiss the Sky Dance Show

The New Zealand Dance Company never fails to deliver an exquisite performance, and Kiss the Sky was no exception. Pairing perfectly with a few glasses of wine and an atmosphere exhibiting the best of the arts culture in Hamilton, the show featured contemporary pieces by three gifted choreographers. Sigan was an impressive display of athleticism; all angles, sharp lines, and powerful moves reminiscent of martial arts from the Far East. The score was perfectly fitting, featuring a dynamic array of traditional Korean gong sounds, accentuated at points by the audible collective exhale of the dancers. The Fibonacci was a dreamy terracotta performance that contrasted starkly with Sigan. Performers showed their versatility with an unreserved fluidity of motion that created an interesting, complex display for the audience - particularly as the stage dimmed save for a lit cyc, emphasizing the dancers’ silhouettes gracing the backdrop. Finally, If Never Was Now was a fun, cheeky performance that gave a “digital exotic bird” vibe, amid mating displays and UV costumes. The audience gasped as a single spotlight illuminated a single performer luxuriating in what appeared to be falling snow. Dancers displayed an effortless, flowing contact in duos - with that said, in all three pieces, the group synchronicity shone through as a real highlight. To split hairs, my only sore point was that I felt left wanting more - a strong final finish, a longer performance, or perhaps an inspired, passionate sequence to create a memorability that merits 5 stars. Aside from that, it was an entirely commendable performance well worth the ticket price.

HALF-COOKED

Jessie Burnette

As the days get darker, it’s easy to start feeling down; it’s cold, end of term assignments are hitting us hard, and even though winter is coming, Game of Thrones is ending. Sometimes we just need a boost – and what’s better than a good meal? These recipes don’t just taste good; they’re also cheap and easy. Ingredients and steps that can be ditched if you’re too pohara or just can’t be fucked are marked with an *.

Coconut Rice

Ritz Cookies Makes 10 Cookies Ingredients Ritz crackers – 20 crackers (3/4 sleeve)

Serves 2 If you’ve never had coconut rice before, then trust me: it’s addictive. While best served as a side, I can totally eat it on its own. Ingredients Rice – 1 cup Coconut milk – 1x 400 ml can Water – 2/3 cup *Desiccated coconut to garnish Method 1. Put all ingredients together in a pot and bring to a boil. 2. Cover and turn the temperature down to low. Cook for about 20 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally.

Peanut butter, smooth – approx 100 grams Dark or milk chocolate – ½ of a family block Method *1. Place baking paper onto a tray for easy clean-up. 2. Prep your cookies: spread peanut butter onto a Ritz cracker and sandwich a second cracker on top. 2. Break your chocolate into small pieces so they melt quicker. 4.

JIMI HUNT Jimi Hunt is a motivational speaker and author, using his own experience with depression to spread love, inspiration, and head on some awesomely ridiculous adventures to raise awareness for mental health.

Nexus: You famously produced the world’s biggest waterslide. Why a waterslide, of all things? J: Because waterslides are a hell of a lot of fun! I also needed a vehicle to talk about mental health that people would listen to. They are much more likely to pay attention to my mental health message if I have something interesting to go with it. It was ‘remarkable’. People talked about it and they also talked about why I was doing it. Also, people don’t realise how things like waterslides improve your mental health. Getting outside, getting enough Vitamin D is massively important for your wellbeing. So is gentle exercise, if you want to ride the slide again you have to walk your ass up the hill to ride again! It created community and connection with all the people there for a common purpose and reason. It gave people ‘yahoos’! Something that most people don’t get enough of when they become adults. Nexus: You also swam 425km down the Waikato river on an $8 lilo...what’s next? Any plans brewing for the next adventure? J: Now, my next adventure is less ‘crazy’ or ‘massive’ on a physical scale but still a huge and important undertaking, I’m creating a campaign to completely rebrand ‘mental health’ into ‘mental fitness’ so that it can become inclusive not exclusive, have no stigma and so that people 32

NEXUS MAGAZINE / ISSUE 11

can understand how it’s a continuum that they can move themselves up so that they can lead happier and healthier lives. Nexus: No doubt there will be university students reading this who are struggling with depression right now. What advice would you have for them? J: This is a temporary state. This is a state that has been caused by external factors but can only be fixed by you. It’s your job to move yourself up the mental health continuum (but you can get help from everywhere) and you do that by doing the internal work 1% at a time, one day at a time. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You have to start looking at changing everything in your life. Ask for help. Deal with your trauma. Are the people you spend the most time with improving or worsening your mental health? Do you have purpose? Do you have quality connections with people? How can you find more/ improve those connections? If you want to start with something simple, join my free ‘Basic Reset’ program. Nexus: Why do you think we often find it so difficult to ask people for help? And how can we learn to do so? J: Because we are conditioned to believe that we are alone in this world and that no one will help us. It’s a lie. I believed it too though…I was so scared to ask for help. In the end, when I was at my worst and I had no other options I did, and guess what? People helped me. The help is there, you just have to engage with it. More than that, since then, I have realised that when I ask for help with anything, anywhere, I get it. From family, from friends and most often, from strangers. People love to help, you just have to give them the opportunity. Nexus: If we know people in our life who have depression, what are some ways we can support them? J: Love. Unconditional love. And gentle encouragement to try new things to increase their mental health. But really, the #1 way isn’t one you want to hear, the #1 way to improve the mental health of those around you is to improve your own mental health. The more you learn, the more you move yourself up the continuum the easier it is to help and teach others. They will also see your example and flock to you to ask ‘how?’ Nexus: You’ve written about our reliance on smartphones. We know it’s not good for us, but we can’t seem to stop doing it. Why is that and how can we reduce our screen time? J: Again, it’s just social conditioning. You have to open your eyes right now to the world around you! Realise that

everything in your entire world is designed for profit, not your mental health. Once you really understand that you can start looking at things a little differently. Everything you do is a choice, you just have to start making conscious choices instead of unconscious ones. You know you are being manipulated by marketers, by apps, by the design of the phones themselves. We know that that manipulation is causing us problems. Don’t want those problems? Choose differently. Of course you still use your phone! They’re basically our lives these days. But just start making conscious choices about how you do that. Read the article on www. jimihunt.com if you want to know more. Nexus: If we can ask a personal question - you’ve built something pretty special with your career, and regularly give inspirational talks opening up about your struggles with depression. How are you doing now? J: I’m fuckin excellent. Thank you for asking. Why am I so good? Because I’ve spent the last seven years going to the gym in my mind and getting gains 1% every day. I’m probably 80 on the continuum. Life goal is probably 90. 90+ I class as ‘unfuckwithable’. The state that if you get in then nothing can mess with you. Car stolen? Doesn’t matter. Wife leaves you? Great opportunity to work on myself and find someone even better. Nexus: How can we support the work done by your charity Live More Awesome, which raises awareness for mental health? J: Follow us and me on social media: @livemoreawesome & @jimihunt. I’m going to need your help with our new campaign later in the year. We have to change the way this country deals with mental health. The emphasis is on the ‘we’. Nexus: Final question - what’s the best kind of cheese? J: Parmesan. So versatile. Goes on everything. If you’re keen to read his books, Nexus has been given a generous 30% off discount for students and staff. Use the code WAIKATO at https://www.jimihunt.com/books for the remainder of May to nab a sweet deal.

5AM WAKE UPS

Full sure

Sleep when you’re dead? Nah, just sleep now. No word of a lie, I woke up at 10.27am today. I mean, I shouldn’t be bragging too much because I was late to a meeting. But I got to that meeting feeling damn fresh, I didn’t freeze when I got out of bed, and traffic was absolutely cruisy. So you tell me who's the real winner here…Among all the assignments, debt and 2 minute noodles, student life provides two main benefits: 1) it’s socially acceptable to be an alcoholic, and 2) we can wake up whenever the fuck we want! These two things even go hand in hand; you want to recover fully for a round 2 or 3 bender? Then just don’t get out of bed until you hear someone crack open another box! Seriously e hoa mā, when else in your life do you have the freedom to sleep in until midday and then start your day like the wellrested kieent you are? Besides, you deserve it! The baggy-eyed, working class folk don’t understand the pressure we are under to study all night, or the effort it takes to cut shapes in Hood til the lights come on. Doctors are always saying things like “drink in moderation” and “get enough sleep”; let’s at least listen to one of those things.

SLEEP IN EVERYDAY

Have you truly got your shit together if you don’t have a morning routine down pat? Probably fucking not. Instead of stumbling home at 4am, you’ve got the blender going so every person in the neighbourhood knows you’re up and at ‘em. Bedtime is scheduled for 2100 hours, so forget whatever social life you had; that is nowhere near as important as your morning soul search and meditation planned for tomorrow. No one in their right mind gets out of bed before 7am, but no one else has such an elaborate schedule pre-daylight, so let’s not forget the unnecessary amount of steps it takes for you to begin your day. By 8am you’ve already smashed out a casual 19 km run, two hemp seed/ chia seed/cocaine...shit, I mean caffeine-based protein shakes, and rewritten the world’s smallest symphony on the world’s smallest violin, and no one even knows about it because no one is awake yet. You hang out in the odd hours of the morning so unless you’ve posted about it all over social media, how are we to believe what you do with yourself? Who cares though, you’re probably the most productive one of your friends’ group. Then again, your friends are probably your PT and the coffee guy you order an Americano from every morning. Your time is precious, and you’d rather spend it making the day as long as possible - fair enough. Just don’t get too pouty when I don’t wanna join you for that 5am sacrifice at sunrise.

nba draft 2019 For anyone who knows anything about the NBA, and specifically about the 2019 NBA draft, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one name that comes to mind faster than any...Zion Williamson. Not often do you see an 18-year-old kid not only go from one year in college straight to the NBA draft but also be pipped as the number one pick by everyone (and I mean absolutely f$&ken everybody). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder that even the presenter was letting the other big prospects in the draft know that whoever gets the first pick will get Zion. The big shock of the night was seeing the New Orleans Pelicans receive the first pick after being projected to get only the ninth pick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an absolute game changer that could both alter the fortunes of a mediocre western conference side into one that will potentially acquire a generational talent, and be a huge play to keep Anthony Davis from leaving a team with lack of talent and depth. Almost forgot there were 13 others picks to be announced tbh, but other highlights include the LA Lakers getting the fourth pick, which now gives Lebron James even more leverage to trade every single teammate of his for Anthony Davis and possibly former Cavs teammate Kyrie Irving (I know, I thought Kyrie couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand playing with him too). Then we saw the Knicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost guaranteedâ&#x20AC;? first pick being snaked, which reminds us of a certain KD situation. It means that replacing a potential Zion with JA Morant doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them anywhere near the same calibre of player, but then again he can add someone big to their struggling backcourt, so things couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been worse. Still, it must hurt the Knicks considering all their years of terrible, non-watchable basketball will probably still continue. The draft never fails to disappoint and this one is no different, so tune into ESPN on Thursday 20th of June to see who the Pelicans (Zion) and the rest of the 14 teams and beyond pick to add to their roster. That is if you have a spare 4 hours to stand through all of it. Considering a lot of you reading this will be either studying for or sitting an exam, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think about watching the highlights that come out the next day.

FAKE IT Don't know how to sport? Badminton:

. The game your grandma pulls out of the cupboard at family gatherings. It includes a net, a couple of rackets and a shuttleCOCK. Yes, we have the mental age of a six-year-old. But really, who named it that?

. Someone that had a physical repulsion for big balls essentially made a simpler version of volleyball; same shaped court, same net down the middle, still playing the big olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game of Keep The Balloon Off The Floor. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just tucked the balls away and brought out the shuttleCOCK (and the rackets).

. Like any good after-school activity (đ&#x;&#x2DC;&#x153;) you can go one-on-one (singles) or spice it up with two-on-two (doubles).

. Competitive badminton can only be played indoors due to wind. Even the smallest of blows can make the shuttlecock quiver and get off course.

. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredibly simple game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even sure how it became a real sport. Then again, it beats darts.

NEXUS SPORTS FACT Sheep shearing is a legitimate sport and, unsurprisingly, New Zealand dominates it internationally. The sport is divided into three main categories - sheep shearing, wool handling, and wool pressing. The annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Golden Shearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in Masterton typically attracts up to 500 contestants and runs over three days. Not cool enough for you? We are also champion shearers of alpacas. 35

Random Audit -

SOCIO302 Globalisation and International Development There’s a reason why I’ve never attended a two-hour lecture for Random Audit (hint: because it’s boring as fuck and I start to fall asleep after 45 minutes), but here we go because this week I’m attending a two-hour sociology lecture, of all things! I try to pump myself up before heading in but let’s be real here; nothing can save a Friday afternoon lecture. Of course, I have my preconceptions about a sociology lecture. I’m assuming it’s gonna be filled with a bunch of left-wing Greens voters, stoners and social justice warriors discussing how shitty society is. I’m half right; there’s a couple of guys that are definitely high as fuck on the other side of the room, but I’m surprised by how normal everyone looks out of the ten people that actually turned up. The lecturer launches in on a tirade about neoliberalism. Good lord, this guy really hates neoliberalism! This lasts for about an hour and a half - the lecture slides just sit in the background while David, the lecturer, embarks on long-winded, critical discussions of neoliberalism and the rise of the altright. And that isn’t a bad thing; he knows a lot about the topics and what he says actually makes sense. He’s obviously very, VERY passionate about what he’s teaching; if only it would rub off onto his students a little bit. To be fair, they’re all third years and have probably already spent their whole degree “thinking critically about society” so I can’t blame them for being over it. As inspiring as David is, by 1:30 I’m ready for an afternoon nap and I think he can sense it, so he winds up the class. I feel ready to go out into the world, spread the communist agenda and destroy capitalism (I’m kidding lol, Young Nats please don’t complain to Nexus). Ultimately, I actually found this lecture super interesting, especially in terms of questioning my own beliefs and values. If you think you could spend literally hundreds of hours criticising neoliberalism, this paper is definitely the one for you.

Let’s talk about the inequalities of fashion. We live in a time where the world is becoming more and more liberal. Some would even claim that it’s progressive. However, there’s still a long way to go before we show any authentic method of reaching equality. There is still gender inequality in the fashion industry. The industry itself is always expressing the fact that it is for women by women, but it appears to me that the majority of designers are males, catering to their own fantasies. But why is this? Is it because women are more subject to the consumerism lifestyle, and men have always gained from this? Is it because men want to always have control over women right down to the clothes that they wear? Do males have a complex that means they always have to dictate women? I admit that these are some heavy assumptions, but they’re still worthwhile questions. I feel like everything is dictated by men. And before you white cis men come back with ‘not all men,’ then the point of this is going way over your head, and I beg you to look into it more for the reasoning why I compartmentalise you all. You see, when you walk to the ‘men’s’ side of the store, the clothing is cheaper, better quality, and it’s there to get the job done. For the ‘women’s’ side, the material

is thin, you can’t find a plain white shirt, and it’s always more expensive. Case in point: places like Cotton On, Kmart, and the Warehouse - anywhere really. It begs the question, why are we being complacent in this misogynistic industry? There seems to be hardly any activism from the outside promoting for the equality of such a massive industry, and maybe therein lies the answer to my question. I see models on Instagram refusing to work for people because of their ignorance, even if that means going a month without any jobs lined up, such as New Zealand model Rob Tennent, enforced under talent management Dan Owens-Reid. I mean, yes, it is a privilege to be considered ‘worthy’ enough to be a model for the likes of Vogue and *insert fashion brands here*, but for a society so consumed by the way they look, we never look to the root evil of it all. With fashion weeks on the horizon, it’s great to reflect on the standard of beauty we have pushed past. It wasn’t long ago that we had models starving themselves to fit into the smallest items of clothing for the pleasure of those wanting to look just like them. A fucking sad merry go round. I’m glad we are moving towards a more progressive fashion industry; looking towards our trans whānau, more genderqueer people, more people of colour, more plus-sized models, and people with disabilities. It’s beautiful when fashion starts to reflect society and not the male gaze. Look to positive Instagram role models like @rob.tennent, @chellaman and @aritfitz for how they represent themselves in fashion and push for more equality within the fashion industry. We can also start with us. We have the power to dictate what society deems ‘worthy’ enough. 37

WAIKAT FLATS HINE-RURUHAU

Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of unruly student life, you can find a homely little flat complete with a front door that’s harder to find that a carpark at uni after 9am. Decked out with plenty of snazzy op-shop furniture and quite possibly the nicest student kitchen Nexus has ever laid eyes on, this house is home to four lovely young wahines and some impeccably cared for house plants. With the number of books covering the shelves and compliments about a pasta dish flying around, it’s safe to say this home has the same level of comfort as a hug from mum.

BLIND DATE

She’s a self-described nerd; a gorgeous house plant lover that froths a glass of wine and any Netflix show about serial killers. He’s the captain of his football team, and has the ego to show for it. After going through girls like he goes through KFC (at least two a week), can her sweet soul break his questionable track record? SHE SAID: To say the date was eventful would be an understatement.

HE SAID: Blind date on Mexican Monday at the House on Hood, how good?

I arrived a little bit late because I was definitely not going to be the first one there. Walked in with my mates, nervous as shit, just hoping Nexus hadn’t set me up with an actual pleb. Then we spotted him, the BFG had some competition as this guy was a fucking giant.

Yea very good as it turns out. She arrived with her two friends in tow, but that was fine, because they were seated outside whilst we were inside…until they got shifted to two metres away from us, video cameras in hand. But their laughter soon died down as they realised we both seemed to be enjoying ourselves, and were interested in the conversation, which flowed all night with only two pauses: To eat, and to go toilet. Oh God the toilet. Get your noses ready and clear the path cause shit’s about to get interesting. So it turns out my ex was at House as well on her own date, but was more preoccupied with mine. Going toilet three times in one hour, including one time where she waited for me to go, followed me in and waited for me to get out so that she could talk to me… Yea nah cheers Buddy.

We got started on the tab and the tuning had begun, Gavin would be proud. We got straight into the chat, turns out we’re both pussies who can’t handle spice and of course I bloody lost odds and had to eat all the chillies. Halfway through the date suddenly I could feel eyes burning into the back of my head, I then heard him mutter under his breath, ‘Oh fuck.’ Turns out the ex-girlfriend had made an appearance, we just so happened to be seated by the toilets, surely no one needs to pee three times in 20 minutes? All in all was a top notch night, filled with good banter, questionable jokes (from him) and awkward on-lookers (my annoying flatmates). Thanks Nexus for the good night and good company, long island ice teas are great for helping calm the nerves.

To sum up my date: Lightweight/10 Froth rating: Great chat and a cutie, so as frothy as a dusty Sunday mission to KFC Pairs well with: Getting 1 hour of sleep that night Overall rating: A glass of water at 4am after a big night on the piss. Cheers Nexus for the great time! Highly recommend to anyone out there.
