Students demand more construction on campus

The student body has turned out en masse to protest the state of the University’s infrastructure, demanding widespread construction works start immediately. 

“The buildings are an absolute fucking mess,” one protestor stated. “Orange cones make me aroused,” asserted another. “I cannot complete my education in this environment,” remarked a third protester while setting fire to a small dog.

“Look at that,” one student remarked, recoiling in disgust, “I bet that piece of pavement hasn’t had any renovations done for 1-2 weeks. Unforgivable.”

But do the university’s buildings really need an overhaul? In a fleeting moment of investigative journalism Critic gave the Richardson building a kick. It subsequently collapsed. We were later told that we’d merely kicked a cardboard box. Draw your own conclusions.

Personally Critic believes the University should build a giant obsidian statue of Harlene Hayne and sacrifice virgins [read: St Margs students] every full moon at her mighty feet.

Mike breaks up with Stacey after discovering handling her at her worst wasn’t worth it to get her at her best

Local man Mike Harvey tragically ended his one month fling with fellow Law student Stacey Jackson after it turns out he actually couldn’t handle her at her worst. Despite the Marilyn Monroe quote on her wall which warned him of her policy, Mike says he “underestimated” her worst and “clearly overestimated” her best. “Honestly, she kinda sucks”. Stacey appears to have moved on after posting a photo on Instagram captioned with lyrics from a Dua Lipa song.
