That must have been where his most loyal crowd was, because in Brighton, he was more laid back and was not looking to impress us. This gaggle of decidedly un-edgy twenty-year-olds was not his base, and he […] The post Luuk Van Dijk at Patterns: In Defense of House Music first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger

As I write this, my phone is falling apart, and my laptop has given up on me. In the middle of submission season, I had a carbon monoxide scare, and the power went out the evening of one of my deadlines. It feels poetic in a way, difficult and strange, but weirdly representative of my […] The post How to be Proud of Your Degree When the Rest of the World Isn’t first appeared on The Badger.| The Badger
Near the beginning of my second year of studying filmmaking at the University of Sussex, I came to the slow realisation that I was no longer interested in pursuing the career I had dreamed about since I chose my GCSEs seven years ago.

My experience with ADHD at university. Leaving for university can feel like the most thrilling, fear-inducing, adventurous thing a person will do up until that point in their lives.
