CHRISTMAS ISSUE
letter from the editor
Comfy? Warm? If you’re in halls or Starbucks most likely, if you’re already in those pillars of student society known as student houses possibly not, and to that we say bah humbug! Now winter has definitely slapped us across the wind swept face we’ve got ideas on how to keep the spirits up and the mind distracted from deadlines as we all mastered procrastination after we got our first assignment. We’re here to help make sure you’re set up for next year in somewhere that makes you feel much more pleasant than Jim Carrey in 3D and warmer than Jack Frost. It’s Christmas time-give yourself the gift of a good home next year.
