Life in lockdown: "It's all about perspective" says Michaela Grace – Ginty

What is May the 5th? Like seriously, is it going to be D-day or something? I know by the time anyone is reading this, you will know what all the fuss was about. I hear it in the house, on the news... I'm surprised there isn't a 24 hour ...

Tipperary student Michaela Grace-Ginty on life during the Covid-19 pandemic

I used to tell myself I wouldn’t get stuff done, just because I was rushing, that I had no time. Turns out time was not the problem. I was. Apparently my one true love is procrastination. I tell myself I'm going to do stuff, ...

‘Stay strong and know this will all be over soon,’ writes Michaela Grace-Ginty

It's fair to say that this week has been pretty hectic. I realised summer exams were in two weeks' time. Yes, I still have summer exams. I've been working on end-of-year projects and catching up on notes. I guess what I ...

'Cut toxic influencers from social media feeds' writes Kaci Kerwick
