"A Carefully Curated Exemplar Of Why He Compels The World"- Album Review: Harry's House By Harry Styles

Boyband icon turned solo Coachella headliner, Harry Styles, has been praised since 2010 for his effortless easing into the ‘rockstar’ lifestyle of fame, with comparisons to the likes of Mick Jagger consistently drawn. 2022 saw Styles return with his third solo album, titled ‘Harry’s House’, and, akin to the name, it can definitely be defined as a more personable and mature look into the inner workings of the singer’s thoughts, particularly when compared to his previous projects. Amrit Virdi revi

The Reality of GirlBoss and Comparison Culture | Her Campus

In a world where side hustles and productivity at every hour of the day is becoming increasingly more ‘normalised’, it’s easy to feel as if you aren’t doing enough. It’s of no doubt that women are continuously breaking boundaries and achieving so much. But along with this, it seems notable to evaluate whether the ‘GirlBoss’ culture that has stemmed from it is empowering or causes too much pressure upon women. According to NastyGal founder Sophie Amoruso’s book, a girlboss is someone ‘’whose suc

"An Outstanding Mix Of Humour And Emotion"- Theatre Review: Wuthering Heights @ Theatre Royal

Amrit Virdi shares her thoughts on Wise Children’s clever adaptation of Wuthering Heights as it comes to Nottingham’s Theatre Royal from 26th – 30th April. With Wuthering Heights being a well-known classic from Romantic author Emily Brontë, and one of my favourite novels, I had to take the opportunity to see Wise Children’s take on the story at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal. With it being quite an intense plot, complicated at times, I was intrigued as to how this would be translated onstage, parti

Is The Dramatisation of Reality TV Necessary? | Her Campus

Geordie Shore, Made In Chelsea, The Only Way Is Essex, Too Hot To Handle, Below Deck, Love Is Blind… As much as some of us would hate to admit it, reality TV in all of its forms can be a guilty pleasure which many love to indulge in. But is reality tv actually ‘reality’ nowadays? From a very young age (I blame my older sister for making me watch it when she was babysitting me) I remember watching reality shows and being amazed that some people lived the life that was portrayed on screen. But fa

Motorsport Misogyny – It’s Time For Change | Her Campus

Amrit grew up in a family who were avid Formula One supporters, meaning that she was exposed to the sport from a young age, and now is somewhat knowledgeable on the sport, even co-hosting a F1 podcast, called Girls in Pole Position. However, despite this, she still faces some backlash from fanbases, which are not as diverse and accepting of all people as you would expect. Despite some advancements, the motorsport community still has a long way to go… Despite this, myself, along with many other
