New Year, New Student

Maria Vint welcomes the new semester.

What day is it?

I realise that this is a question that is becoming less and less acceptable to be asking yourself after crawling out of bed at 2 pm, because everybody now seems to be getting their lives together. The Christmas tree is down, the selection boxes are almost completely finished and everybody is fresh-faced and rosy-cheeked, jogging through the streets, genuinely convincing themselves that they are enjoying being back at work because “it’s good to get back into a routine.” Yet here I am, watching my fourth movie of the day. And why not?

But this weird, post-festive limbo has to end somewhere. Even though we all admit that 2016 was a generally depressing and shocking year, we can’t wallow about it forever. It’s time for a fresh start, so bring on Brexit and Trump.

And as there is no better time to reinvent yourself than after New Year (or in the case of a St Andrews student who has spent the last month forgetting how to write essays – a month into it) I hereby present a complete guide on how to become the person you always wished University would turn you into.

Step 1: Mission a la Mode

It’s time for that radical new change of style you’ve always dreamed of. You can finally become hipster and cool. From now on you will drink your coffee black and wear stilettos. There has never been a better time to perfect dreadlocks or wear those colourful linen trousers. Fashion is an art and your body is the canvas. It’s finally time to start expressing your creativity and intelligence. Maybe you should start writing poetry too. You’ve always been a sensitive soul deep down.

Step 2: Society Stalker

You’ve always wanted to be the heavy-weight champion of the world. Why couldn’t you be the next Beyoncé? What’s stopping you from writing and directing your own plays? With a new semester comes the opportunity to finally be the productive and well rounded, interesting person you truly can be. It’s time to join some societies. And this time you have to actually go – not just awkwardly remain on the mailing list all year, avoiding politely requesting you be removed because, who knows, maybe one day you will actually attend.

This semester you will. Not only that, but you will be doing so as a productive, fit socialite. Have faith.

Step 3: Library Lovin’

The library is your new favourite place and studying is always fun. This term, you can get everything done well in advance and score solid 20’s. No more late-night cramming, not this semester. Your time at the library will now be spent studying hard and fixing the world. No more falling in love with the really hot person sitting across from you each day, perpetually suffering the heartbreak of the silent section.

Step 4: Sober and Orderly

Never again will a night be even moderately blurred to you. Eight messy bombs upon arrival at the Union, after having already spewed at pres, is no longer acceptable. Your body is a temple. No more Dervish. Bad decisions will therefore be avoided and life will become a bliss devoid of awkwardness and embarrassment. Instead, you shall politely sip wine and nibble on cheese whilst discussing foreign trade and all manner of important things. Better yet, you can stay home and perfect your newly acquired skills as obtained by Step 2. Perhaps prepare a vegan dinner and do some yoga. You ARE the picture of health.

But as fun as this all sounds, perhaps deep down maybe it’s just the disappointment of 2016 that’s left you longing for change. But let’s have hope that 2017 is going to be a productive year! Only a few days left until the dead streets of St Andrews fill up again.

… Help.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  4. Brands that manufacture chronometer watches
    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Strict Standards
    COSC, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that attests to the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC validation is a sign of quality craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own demanding criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, attaining similar precision.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The core mechanism of a mechanical watch involves the spring, which supplies energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to external elements that may impact its accuracy. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their durability and dependability. The tests assess:

    Typical daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and impacts of temperature changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-accredited watch isn’t just a item of technology but a demonstration to enduring excellence and precision. It signifies a watch that:

    Presents excellent dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures assurance of superiority across the entire construction of the timepiece.
    Is likely to retain its worth more efficiently, making it a wise choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Brands
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Soul, which highlight COSC-validated movements equipped with cutting-edge substances like silicon equilibrium suspensions to boost resilience and performance.

    Historical Background and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The concept of the chronometer originates back to the requirement for exact timekeeping for navigation at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the 18th cent. Since the formal establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the validation has become a benchmark for evaluating the precision of high-end timepieces, sustaining a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation offers peacefulness of thoughts, guaranteeing that each accredited watch will perform dependably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-certified timepieces distinguish themselves in the world of watchmaking, bearing on a legacy of careful timekeeping.
