The Benefits of Bikes

here is a lot to be said for having a bicycle in college, for taking to the road on two wheels.
Firstly the ease in which you can get around. Where a walk could take you upwards of 30 minutes, cycling would cut it down to around 10 minutes, even taking your time at it. This can come in very handy if you value the extra few minutes in bed before the 9am lecture. There is a convenience to cycling too. You can get on it and go whenever you want, no need to plan your day around bus timetables or fear desertion on one of the many days of upcoming strikes. It takes very little be properly equipped to cycle. A

Pack a waterproof anorak in your bag too and you will be prepared for any conditions. There is no excuse for not having your bike in perfect health. DCU offers free bike clinics every week, giving students the opportunity to have their bikes checked and maintained, so you can be sure your bike is in good working order. Something must be said for the positive impacts cycling can have on your body and life. Apart from the obvious boosts such as getting fitter, studies have shown that being on your bicycle can improve your mood while making you more productive and attentive in the lectures.

Dear Fresher me... BY AMY LAWLOR Dear Fresher Me, Where do I even begin to start? The chances are if I was reading this back in first year I wouldn’t be listening to me either. But, you probably still think that Dublin could easily beat Mayo in an All-Ireland final, so I’d advise you to listen up. You’re going to learn more about yourself than in your lectures this year, even though “that’s not how college is supposed to work” but sure look just go with it. Firstly, try and look half decent for your student I.D card. Unfortunately you’re going to be stuck with it for the next few years and not looking like a scruff will avoid that awkward bouncer stare down the Topshop sales assistant gives you when you want to get the student discount. Also you’re seventeen so you have to put up with that horrible bright yellow strip on your student card that screams underage, ‘no craic’. Don’t worry though you actually managed to sneak into a few events during Fresher’s week by covering that awful yellow strip with a white barcode sticker,
still don’t know how they fell for that one! Ascliché as it sounds don’t leave your assignments to the last minute. The majority of the time you probably will, but ‘Coppers’ isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so just get that sickening politics essay out of the way, then you won’t have to pull the dreaded “all nighter” before deadline day. It would also be smart to actually pay attention during your library tour. You won’t be fully aware of its existence until second year anyway, but it’s worth knowing a thing or two about how it works. When actually using the library, deep breathe turn-off your phone after all Snapchat and Facebook nearly caused you to fail second year. Let’s not forget about book loans, you are completely incapable of extending your book return dates and it will cost you, especially if it’s a short-term loan. “€30 for being a few hours late, sure think of all the Nubar chicken goujons you could buy with that,” so for the sake of the goujons try not to waste your money
on fines. Making friends is a lot easier than you think, at the end of the day everyone is in the same boat so it’s normal to be nervous. You’ll soon be eating Dominos in Shanowen after a standard night out in Diceys with a group of girls you feel like you’ve known for years. Mental note avoid Diceys after first year, the sweatbox life isn’t fun. This next part is important, don’t be intimidated to join whatever club or society you want too. Don’t get me wrong it can be hard to branch out and put yourself out there, but your only denying yourself the opportunity to make new friends and flourish in new experiences so swallow your fear, it will only hold you back. Finally, tackling the 109A Bus Éireann route is a pain in the you know what, so avoid the effort of carrying your sports bag around to lectures and get yourself a locker for the year, best decision first year me ever made.

Here are our best tips for tailoring your summer purchases to last that little bit longer in this nippy weather. A huge trend this summer was the simple slip dress. Yes, it’s still wearable as is for nights out and parties, but how about throwing a plain white t-shit on underneath for the daytime? Pair it with some white runners, an oversized jacket and you’re good to go. The same goes for dungarees and pinafores only this time, try a fitted sweater or polo neck t-shirt. Think Rachel from friends circa 1998. Not a summer goes by where flowy maxi dresses and floral print skirts don’t dominate the festival scene. Swap your bralette for a chunky knit jumper, your wellies for Chelsea boots and you have yourself the comfiest autumn outfit in existence. The last few months it was difficult to go two minutes without seeing an off the shoulder top. They’re cute, and flattering on all body types, but by God are they annoying under a jacket. Try keeping warm with a chunky circle scarf instead, still leaving your shoulders free. Or for even colder days, a loose, oversized cape.
