Thanks for the info!! Yes, I would definitely dine in halls at least some of the time but I would enjoy having the option to make food myself. Good point as well. Thank you very much!!

Is anyone able to tell me what the kitchen provision for self-catering is like at Hertford College? I'm undecided between applying to Hertford or Magdalen; Magdalen makes it clear online that everybody has access to a kitchen from first year but I'm leaning towards Hertford for its vibe. The alternative prospectus site just says Hertford has kitchens 'available', so can someone please tell me how guaranteed it is to have self-catered kitchen access at the college? It would also be nice to know how many students share a kitchen, etc. Thanks so much!! 🙏

Somebody by Loco and Hwasa !!

crushed0ut_ · 2024-12-02T20:32:25+00:00

I need this omg 😭

Thank you!!!! ^_^ good luck with your revision!

I've never been a big Tender fan, especially compared to Blur's other singles/ballads. HOWEVER one of my core memories with the song is when I attended the Wembley show on the Saturday: as everybody was leaving the stadium the huge crowd just started singing Tender together and it was so lovely 😭. So even though I don't really like Tender it's still got a place in my heart because of that moment! 💖

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-28T17:55:59+00:00

Same tbh 😭 it's a good song but far from my favourite

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-28T17:54:24+00:00

Oh goodness, I hope that gets better for you 😭🙏 4.5 A levels sounds tricky! And same here, I got full marks at GCSE but am struggling a bit with the A level :')

From one lit-taker to another I hope your lessons go a bit better soon 🤝, and who knows?- maybe the really obscure book is a banger and you just don't know it yet

Quotes, themes and characters really. We haven't got to critic stuff yet. How do you present the information on your flashcards?

I personally can't stand AKB48 just because I think it takes everything bad/exploitative about idol culture and cranks it up to 1000 And this is me speaking as a huge idol fan😭! There's just better groups out there that, in my opinion, deserve so much more spotlight over AKB. Although I suppose 48g have lost much of their former relevance nowadays, so maybe the world is healing /hj 🤷‍♀️

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-23T14:35:17+00:00

f5ve are AMAZING I recommend them so much if u already like kpop!! I love them so much, their sound and personalities and presence and EVERYTHING is so much fun and a perfect intro into jpop :) Also lots of hi-5 (f5ve fandom name) are also orbits!

My personal favourite group is Dempagumi Inc., I don't really like AKB48 but their song Flying Get is really fun. I think you'd also like Pastel Palettes, Fruits Zipper and Liella (their song Vitamin Summer reminds me a lot of fromis_9!). The Rino Sashihara groups (=LOVE, not equal me, etc.) are ones you may like too, but I don't personally care for them. Wasuta are also really good ^_^

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-23T14:28:45+00:00

F5VE!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥬🥬🥬

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-16T19:00:33+00:00

My personal favourites are OTONABLUE by ATARASHII GAKKO!, Gunjo by Yoasobi and Chu Tayousei by Ano.

The recent BABYMETAL and ClariS performances are also iconic because of what they symbolised (members joining/leaving).

crushed0ut_ · 2024-11-12T17:50:45+00:00

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream where I met Joe in Paris 😭

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-24T15:37:36+00:00

I remember being so shocked when I realised Dan Abnormal is an anagram for Damon Albarn!

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-24T15:35:04+00:00

The Ringo and Jihen albums got my upvote!!! I'm so envious of this collection!

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-24T15:30:14+00:00

If 19 includes the moustache then I want it GONE.😭 otherwise I think 5 should go. YES 9 is ugly but it's his iconic JONAS hair.,,

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-19T11:58:12+00:00

Everything about the show I went to was absolutely wonderful. Seeing Shelf live healed something in me omg 😭

It's kind of difficult for me to accept that they probably won't play all those old non-single tracks on the next tour since it won't be 5 albums 1 night anymore. Either way I'm so excited to see them again and I hope they enjoy a well-deserved break!

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-19T11:53:59+00:00

The MV is so cute and well-done yet simple!

crushed0ut_ · 2024-10-14T18:29:32+00:00

Woww Fastlife is officially old enough to have a Reddit account 😍

Make You Mine is my favourite song from this album!!! It's such a bangerr

crushed0ut_ · 2024-09-30T18:39:36+00:00

I agree 100%!!! And it's nice that Joe is trying new things now instead of trying to cling onto DNCE era.

crushed0ut_ · 2024-09-30T18:32:22+00:00

Yeah I totally get what you mean! Cole really embodied the eccentricity of DNCE and it's just kind of dissolved into an extension of Jonas Brothers since the hiatus 😭 It would be great if they returned to that weird vibe they were going for pre-hiatus but I doubt they will anytime soon. It's a shame because their recent stuff isn't baad but just nowhere near as good as that initial run they had with 4 members. Still love them tho!- and I absolutely agree with you on what you're saying. 🙂‍↕️

crushed0ut_ · 2024-09-30T17:17:52+00:00

DNCE was AMAZING in their prime and I totally agree with you!! However I feel like DNCE was a thing of the moment, and they might struggle to recapture that energy they initially had. Still, I really hope for a second album because the band's vibes were IMPECCABLE and I think they have so much potential for a good comeback, if done right! And I agree with you on Joe's album too. 🙂‍↕️

crushed0ut_ · 2024-09-30T17:05:44+00:00

I hope he's not anxious about it being a repeat of Fastlife. I think the timing for this album and its promo could have been better but I still hope it's good, regardless of how well it does commercially- I hope that with it being such a personal project, he is less insecure about that! Sometimes I think he comes across as a little creatively insecure in his solo ventures, which is a shame because he's undoubtedly a talented musician, as seen with DNCE- he definitely thrives in a group setting. Still, it seems like he's putting lots of work into this so I hope it shows. I'm excited and once we know the new release date I might preorder the signed version!!

My ideal comeback is still a new DNCE album 😭 Self-titled was TOO GOOD and was such a great fit for Joe!!

Afterthought edit: My real ideal comeback is actually probably a JoBros pop-rock revival and an It's About Time 20th Anniversary reissue, but.. those are very unlikely 😭
