After almost 14 years of school – and existence for that matter – my mind naturally harks back to a simpler time; a time where your next biggest worry was which mould to use in the sandpit or whether you could be the last to clap in assembly.
Where’s this all coming from, then? And why now?
For those of you who don’t know me, I am Siobhan (you may have heard/seen me around the school – for some reason everyone has) and I am a seasoned lyricist, but I use that term jokingly because the accuracy and quality of my lyrics are sometimes questionable. I’m sure that’s just what you want to hear when reading a manual-esque article on how to start your own lyrical journey, but sadly it is the truth that a set of lyrics can sometimes make you feel like a genius, or at other times make you feel like you don’t even understand English, and this is true no matter if you are a novice or an expert.
Now I know everyone thought that last term was the last you’d heard of me but fear not! For I am back with another article! So for what might be my last article (although probably not, I will need to write an article complaining about A levels before the end of term) I wanted to tell you about a first.
Following on from my recent article on mending clothes, I thought I should write a follow-up guide on another facet of wearing and caring for your clothes: altering. Too many times have I seen people avoid wearing clothes they bought for themselves because they don’t quite fit right, or they’ll send them off to the tailor’s for incredibly simple alterations that could easily be done at home.
At WHS, we are lucky to have a whole host of excellent restaurants and cafes on our doorstep, offering a range of cuisines and dishes. I have done some digging into the environmental policies of each of these popular lunch spots, in the hope that passing this information on will aid you in making informed decisions about where to eat in Wimbledon (and may even encourage you to conduct your own in-depth study), considering environmental impact and sustainability. I have focused primarily on actions already undertaken by the restaurants, rather than pledges of what they will do, since the jury is still out on those. I have also not included things these restaurants may not do, since information on where their environmental practices are lacking is much harder to find than the proud declarations of what they are already doing.
