Horoscopes – Issue 7 2026

Aries: Having a good day? Cool! Listen to Sun Bleached Flies by Ethel Cain to make it way better. I promise.  Taurus: That green Macbook neo is not calling your name. It’s actually really fucking ugly, not cute and nostalgic. You don’t need it.  Gemini: You were really inspired by the Artemis mission, and honestly go off. It was pretty awesome. Just don’t suddenly think you can be an astronaut.  Cancer: You’ve been sick for weeks. Student health […]

Record Store Day 2026 

Let me paint you a picture: Once a year, a few hundred titles which have never before been released on vinyl get pressed and distributed globally. Each record gets pressed anywhere between 20,000 to a mere 750 times, globally. Said records are shipped to independent record stores without any knowledge of what they get. This beautiful day is called […]

Recipe – Nachos

If you haven’t been taught how to make nachos by a school cooking class or your mum by now, I’m disappointed. So I’m going to teach you instead. You will need:  Method: 

Random Audit – SOCIO101 

Not only do I have no business crashing a lecture for a class I’m not in, I have even less business in a sociology 101 tutorial where the tutor is completely unaware I’m not supposed to be there. But there I sat on a Tuesday afternoon in the first SOCIO101 tutorial of the semester, 2048 open on my computer, my friend who is actually in […]

Blind Date – Issue 6 2026

He is a 20-year-old third year that was looking for Miss Right that he could plan his environment around. She is a 19-year-old Nursing student looking for Mr Right now. Was it a love connection? We will let you judge. PSA: Women don’t owe men anything – but they do owe Nexus at least 200 […]

Horoscopes – Issue 6 2026

Aries – Stop procrastinating, embrace your 15 deadlines and get shit done.  Taurus – Happy Birthday, also calm down, invest in a journal.  Gemini – They’re not looking at you; they don’t want you; stop being a pick me.  Cancer – It’s time to become less insufferable. It’s time for you to shine, I feel big things and more friends coming your way.  Leo – Spice up your life with adventure.

Random Audit – ENGLI200

Weekly topic: online literature.  THEY’RE STUDYING FANFICTION THIS WEEK. Granted it’s that shitty Harry Styles After one. I’d be interested in doing a census and see if people like this homework more or less than reading through a twenty page scholarly article. There are some people who have Wattpad open in this class but, unlike usual, they’re actually engaging with the lecture.  I really like the way the teacher communicates the reasons […]

Soundcheck – Issue 6 2026

Album review Bri Louise   Pōneke based, Bri Louise, brings a calm gentleness to this Album; you can hear the smile in her voice and the love she has for those she sings about. With smooth jazz and R ‘n’ B notes, the Album was recorded live, with a ~20-piece support band/choir, giving it a unique, raw and unfiltered feel. Quavering […]

Horoscopes – 30/3/26

Capricorn:   – Capricorn of the month: Sophia Laforteza   – We’re all in this together. Get your ass in gear and fix your sleep schedule. Your parents are worried.   Aquarius:   – Aquarius of the month: the Weekend   – You’re a bad actor and a bad liar. No one is falling for it. Give it up while you’re ahead.   Pisces:   – Pisces of the […]

Should English be an official language?

No:  Logically, I can see why this would be an ideal option. However, the main thing that must be understood when it comes to an official language in New Zealand is that they are often made that way out of necessity. Te reo was banned from being spoke and by the 80s less than 20% of Māori considered te reo to be their native language. It was the work from Te Huinga Rangitahi and the […]
