Aries You’ve been running on less than empty lately. Sleeping on your laptop in lectures just isn't the same as hitting your pillow at home, even if the lecture theatre is warmer and your lecturer’s voice is basically free ASMR. Go home and get some rest. Your party game: Arm Read more...

OUSA Exec: Kamesha Jones

Posted 11:29am Sunday 2nd August 2026 by OUSA Exec

For a long time, OUSA has been relatively apolitical in practice, on campus and in our strategic direction. However, over the last year, we have seen this idea begin to overturn. Seeds of political discourse internally, as well as better engagement with student politics, have grown into a more solid Read more...

Editorial: What’s Up, Party People?

Posted 11:28am Sunday 2nd August 2026 by Hanna Varrs

I went to high school in rural-ish Canterbury – Lincoln, to be exact. We didn’t really have a whole lot of parties, and the ones that were thrown were either crammed into cookie-cutter suburban houses, held in someone’s shed or, if things were really fancy, hosted by a local Read more...

If there’s one thing a Ngāpuhi likes, it’s arguing a case. Unfortunately for everyone else, I’ve always got one.  Artificial intelligence is having a phenomenal year. Apparently, it can write your assignment, draft a CV, answer difficult emails, and plan your holiday Read more...

Booze Review: Little Fat Lamb Shot Bucket

Posted 11:21am Sunday 2nd August 2026 by Britney Brew-ski

For Critic Te Ārohi’s inaugural Party Issue, Swig60 has outsourced their liver to a guest reviewer. Whether this was a strategic editorial decision or simply because the boys finally realised they had to pace themselves is unclear. Either way, someone had to answer the important question: Read more...

Moaningful Confessions: The Biter

Posted 9:38am Sunday 26th July 2026 by Lady Gag-me

Ok guys, let's throw it back… all the way to first year. I’m now in my fifth year, so this was long enough ago that I should probably have some perspective, but not long enough that I don’t lie awake wondering if I accidentally invented an entire situationship with a man who Read more...

Posted 9:34am Sunday 26th July 2026 by Critic

Dear Madam Critic I am writing in disgust at the recent price increases at uni cafés. From the start of this semester, a thing Chicken and Cranberry Panini or a Breakfast Wrap is $12!! This is nuts! Campus cafe food was never supposed to be Michelin Star quality, but it was supposed to at Read more...

Aries It’s time to cultivate more than just black mould in your bedroom. Grab those stolen plant clippings and turn your flat into a greenhouse. The best part? You can blast your heater to a ‘tropical’ level and blame the power bill on your green thumb.  Your cleaning Read more...

OUSA Exec: Student Strike For Education

Posted 9:30am Sunday 26th July 2026 by Flynn Nisbett

We aren’t entitled to anything. If we want to go to uni that badly, we should pay for it ourselves because times have changed with AI and we just need more tradies. That’s what I would say if I hated good things. Three years of fees free, promised by Labour, was designed to address Read more...
