What if one day, nearly all of us had the same immune system – and one virus or disease arose that could wipe us all out? The human race; all life; Gone. What would happen?
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.
I’ve braved the rails, the racks, and the occasional odd smell to bring you the ultimate guide to 12 of Wimbledon’s finest charity shops. So, buckle up, because this might just be the most well-researched thing I’ve ever written.
While most people are on Wordle or another NYT game in between lessons, I am usually refreshing the F1 website for the latest news. Despite having millions of fans from all around the world, F1 still feels like an underrated and niche sport, which is exactly why I will be covering it in Unconquered Peaks this year.
I first got hooked on F1 in 2023, and since then, it has dictated my weekend plans for the past three seasons. Whether it is waking up early on a Sunday morning to watch a race happening on a different continent, or spending way too much time placing a sticker on an F1 LEGO car, I am completely absorbed by the world of Formula 1.
My goal is simple: help newcomers discover what makes F1 so enticing, while providing existing fans with more stories and perspectives on the sport they already love. Just like our school canteen queue, F1 gets very chaotic very fast. This is why I will be ensuring my articles are beginner-friendly, but also detailed enough for any long-time fans to enjoy.
Over the next few months, I will be writing all kinds of pieces – ranging from race debriefs to fun off-track stories. My work won’t be full of complex engineering jargon; instead, I will focus on the people and narratives that make F1 so compelling.
As the 2025/26 year at WHS begins, the F1 world is heading at full speed into its season finale. In September and October alone, there are five races, each certain to provide plenty of storylines on and off track. This includes the Italian Grand Prix at Monza – the home of Ferrari, also known as “The Temple of Speed”, with its passionate fans and brutal straights. Then there is Las Vegas – F1’s newest spectacle that, last year, was deemed either incredible or ridiculous depending on who you ask. Both are sure to have fans on the edge of their seats.
Whether you’ve never watched a race or you’ve been following since Sebastian Vettel’s dominance, I will have something for you.
Stay tuned for my next article (19th September), which will be a preview of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Laid out in the public roads of the capital city, Baku, the 6km track is the fourth-longest on the F1 calendar. After providing us with a thriller of a race last season, won by Oscar Piastri after a legendary dive-bomb overtake on Charles Leclerc, F1 fans all around the world are anticipating what sort of excitement the 2025 Grand Prix will bring.
French feminism in the 20th century was ever-evolving, so in this article, I will take you through the different waves, examining how it evolved across different historical moments, shaped by war, colonialism, intellectual innovation, and a growing awareness of intersectionality. There are some book recommendations throughout, too!
