By Chiara Hampton Dear readers, the moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. December 2nd marked the launch of the winter edition of our literary publication The Inkwell . While fawning over lovely submissions from our student body at Sofi’s Southside last night, we took a moment to reflect on the work which went into this semester’s issue. If you’re curious about what happens behind the scenes of our micro-publishing operation (this is the publishing society, after all), here is a glimpse into the creation of Rot.
By Chiara Hampton The new semester is upon us, bringing with it fresh aspirations and anxieties. Uni calendar dates may be arbitrary divisions of time, but these artificial beginnings provide excellent opportunities to seek out new experiences.
