After a long Paddy’s weekend, we both know you’re putting off that small mountain of work that has built up just so you can polish off those left over naggins. I know what you really want. It is an article telling you how to stop procrastinating. However, I’m not going to write about that because there’s a very simple solution to stopping procrastination. DO YOUR DAMN WORK! Having said that, sometimes you don’t even realise you’re doing it. This list is to help you identify when you are and will, hopefully, stop [...]

Coca-Cola fights for your right to be obese
According to documents just released under a Freedom of Information request, Coca-Cola has lobbied health minister James Reilly against introducing a sugar tax. The tax could mean an additional tax on sweetened drinks, plus threaten jobs, as well as slow Ireland’s recovery from recession, according to Food and Drink Industry Ireland. A quarter of Irish children are overweight or obese at three years old, as are two thirds of adults despite the fact that obesity is a risk factor in certain cancers, heart disease and diabetes. Various EU states have already introduced [...]

Dear Student Diary…feed me, Volume II: Chicken Feast
As we know, nearly all students are addicted to chicken! You only need to look at the cue for chicken rolls in Spar to see it especially among us student folk. So I gave into this notion and created the Student Chicken Feast! This snappy dish is similar to a Spanish style chicken but is lighter in terms of additional ingredients such as chorizo and japelanoes. I use a variety of seasonings here which give this dish its serious yum factor! Also, this is a real nutritious dish as it [...]
Supermarket Sweep; are you an Aldi or a Tesco head?
Every week there is the same battle. A battle that faces every student all over the country. Where to go to do the weekly shopping? With all the supermarkets competing for our money at least we have choice in the matter, and they all have good and bad points. Within walking distance of me I have Tesco, Superquinn, Adli and Centra. As I arrive to my student house on a Sunday I have to decide what is on my menu for the week, and after looking into my press I usually realise that I [...]
The College Body
So, you’re living the typical oh-so-wild college lifestyle that includes socialising, partying and maybe even attending classes. Basically, you are having the time of your lives; the world is your oyster and all that jazz. Oh wait…..suddenly your jeans seem a little tighter, you can’t make the zipper reach the top of your jacket and shock horror, you may well have to move up a clothes size altogether! Yes my friends, this is what I like to call The College Body. (Please note that this body type does not appear [...]

I love eating food; I love watching people make food; I love the smell of food wafting out of shop doorways, restaurants and takeaways…Hey, I even love looking at pictures of food in magazines. DON’T JUDGE ME, I JUST REALLY LIKE FOOD. In my experience, there are several different categories that food can fall into. LET’S EXAMINE THEM, SHALL WE? “What a great idea!” I hear you cry. “It’s not like this is gonna leave everybody with food cravings or anything!’ (cough cough)… First off we have: [...]
