This issue kicks off with our cover star Yungblud, who gets brutally honest about his fourth album Idols. It is a raw, rebellious love letter to rock music, self-reclamation and life in all its glorious chaos. It is loud, unapologetic and exactly the energy we are taking into a new term.
We also shine a spotlight on Dai Time, the 18-year-old journalist, creator and entrepreneur who has already worked with Netfl ix and Disney while balancing student life. Recognised by the White House, she is proof that ambition does not wait and her story is as inspiring as it is relatable.
From there, we turn up the volume with Big Special, the Brummie duo whose honesty, grit and sharp lyricism have pushed them from lockdown jams to headline shows. And if that is not enough energy, Sam Thompson is here to remind us why fun, friendship and a little chaos can take you further than you think, from reality TV to podcast arenas.
Freshers is all about fi nding your rhythm, whether that is in lectures, at a gig or somewhere in between. Inside, you will fi nd stories to inspire, laughs to keep you going and discounts to make student life that little bit easier.
Here is to fresh starts, unforgettable nights and a term full of stories worth telling.
