  • Should we save our high streets?

    –

    By

    Marks and Spencer’s closure on the 4th May continued the exodus of Huddersfield’s high street, while many other business’ precariously cling on during these challenging times. BHS was the first major casualty closing its doors back in August 2016, taking with it 60 jobs. Since then it has remained unoccupied, a ghostly relic to times…

  • Mental Health.. Why The Mainstream Media Are Letting Us Down.

    –

    By

    This topic is certainly one that can be quite personal to some people, and is one which can be quite sensitive. However, that shouldn’t mean that it should be ignored. Everyone has been affected by mental health, whether they be a sufferer themselves, or know someone who suffers. But the mainstream media are letting us…

  • Less is More: The Beauty of Minimalism

    –

    By

    We live in a consumerist society, and that is no news to anybody. But do we really need what we think we do? Will the fifth pair of sneakers make you happier? Will the newest smartphone bring you the joy you are seeking for? It might do. But only for a short period of time. And then…

  • Fat Freshers Syndrome

    –

    By

    Did you know that the average student puts on a stone during their first year at university?

    –

    By

    Before starting the first year of university, you are promised the time of your life; the new lifestyle means no parents, no rules and plenty of free time to dedicate to drinking and socialising. However things can quickly spiral into a never ending cycle of cringing, hangovers and regret. Forget the ‘Do’s’ and follow these…

  • THE FIGHT FOR AND AGAINST FEMINISM

    –

    By

    T-Hud writers Lorna and Aimee recently produced a piece about the misconceptions of feminism. The article brings to light a number of interesting points but there is one factor that I want to expand a little further. Aimee stated, quite rightly, that not all feminists hate men, but she didn’t mention why so many people…

  • Lost and Fined

    –

    By

    Hands up if you’ve ever received a fine for not returning a book to the university library on time. Another show of hands if you have missed a lecture and not reported your absence. How about this: have you ever swiped into a class and then just left the room before the lecture started? Or…

  • Streets of Huddersfield

    –

    By

    Prostitution is a £5 billion business in the UK, with official estimates claiming that more money changes hands as a result of sex work than in the entire farming industry. It thrives in massage parlours, brothels and on street corners all over the country, and Huddersfield is no exception. This issue, T’Hud investigates the stories behind the…

    Moving to University – Making Halls Homely

    –

    By

    For most of you, moving into student halls will probably mark your first new bedroom away from the family home. For me, a token timid southerner dropped in this foreign land where people say ‘Baff’ instead of Bath, Breadcake instead of Bread Roll and seem to have ‘dinner’ at lunchtime, it was a little intimidating…
