The Five People You'll Meet In The Library This Semester

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT

As you go through uni you start to realise that the library isn't always used to study and you'll also meet a good share of characters in there. To help you prepare we've identified five types of people you're probably going to meet in the library.

The dedicated student
Arguably something all students should be, but some are definitely more at home in the library than others. The dedicated student is the one who spends their spare time between lectures at the library, soaking up them valuable hours for revision, extra learning and getting ahead. Armed with books and a packed lunch, they’ll be set up in the quiet area ready to kill a few hours.

The last minute Nelly
You can be the most organised person on the planet with all the best intentions, but during your uni stint, there’s no doubt you’ll end up doing a last minute job. Last minute Nelly will be in full panic mode; causing a scene over lost pages, complex citations, a broken connection and generally tearing their hair out. They’ll be hammering the keyboard, music blaring and heavy sighing – Steer clear!

The night owl
Some of us just function better at night, that’s a fact. If you’re ever in the all-night category (you will be, trust me), you’ll be able to tell the difference between a natural night owl and somebody scrambling 2,000 words together an hour before submission. The night owl will be cool, calm and collected, armed with snacks, headphones and a can of monster to see them through.

The ‘how did you even get into uni’ student
You know the one. They can’t work the wifi, they’ve created a jam in the printer and their library fines are through the roof. Who gave this person a place and what on earth are they studying?! Every library has one, maybe more than one, actually, and they will make themselves known quite early on. Avoid at all costs.

The coffee fuelled scatter brain
A combination of the all-nighter and the last minuter, the coffee fiend can be there at all hours. The difference is, this is through choice. They thrive off the coffee buzz and the adrenaline of flitting around the library like they mean business, always armed with a Costa cup. You can spot them by their wide eyes, lingering smell of black coffee and usually looking a little unkempt as coffee comes before personal hygiene. obvs.

Hacks For Staying Awake In Your 9am

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Let’s be honest a 9am lecture is nobody’s favourite activity. The lecturer probably doesn’t even enjoy it. If you do manage to drag yourself out of bed, especially if you were out the night before, then we salute you.

Unfortunately, no amount of coffee will help you stay awake during your three-hour lecture, but there are a few things you can do which might stop you from drifting off while the lecturer reads off a PowerPoint for three hours.

via GIPHY

1. Get a balanced breakfast

We’ve all been told since we were young that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it’s not wrong. A balanced breakfast containing wholesome carbs, protein and healthy fats will give you the energy you need to stay awake and alert. If you’re struggling for ideas, you could try unsweetened oatmeal with nuts and fruit instead of a piece of toast on the bus. If you struggle for time in the morning make a smoothie with nuts, tofu, coconut butter and avocado the night before, ready for you to grab in the morning.

2. Actually Take Notes

This will keep you busy and give you something to focus on rather than just staring at the walls. Writing notes engages your brain and makes you pay attention to what your lecturer is actually trying to tell you. To keep yourself even more alert you could try writing notes for different areas in various ink colours so you’re fully engaged.

3. Cold Water

Whether you gulp it or head to the toilets to splash it on your face, cold water is going to be your new best friend. Staying hydrated is key to staying awake, dehydration can lead to fatigue as it impacts the flow of oxygen to the brain. Add some ice cubes to your water to make sure it stays nice and cool the whole time.

via GIPHY

4. Eat a Light Snack

Now we’re not telling you to bring a full buffet into the hall with you but taking in a small snack will help perk you up when your glucose levels start to drop. Try and avoid anything too noisy as no one like being next to someone eating a packet of crisps at 9am but carrots with hummus, yoghurt with almonds and apple with peanut butter are the perfect options as the healthy fats and protein will help tide you over.

5. Remember how much you’re paying

If any of these tips don’t work, we’re pretty sure this one will. Just remember how much your lecture cost you, you’ll start paying attention once you remember you’re paying to be there.

The Uni Halls Survival Guide

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Moving into halls can be a daunting experience for even the most independent student, so we’ve pulled together our top 5 tips for surviving your first few weeks in halls.

Be social
Don’t keep yourself locked away in your bedroom when all your new flat mates are in the kitchen socialising. Get yourself out there, make them a brew, find out what their studying and have a good old fashion conversation. You have to live with these people, so make an effort and get involved with social events both in and out of halls.

Open your windows
Unfortunately, uni halls are not known for their pleasant odours and cleanliness. If you do one thing today, open your bedroom and kitchen windows. Nobody needs to be breathing in stale Chinese, mouldy bread and the remains of that tactical chunder… yep, we’ve all been there. Air it out and your head, lungs and roommates will thank you later.

Do your bit
Don’t be that person that leaves dirty pots in the sink and wet towels in the communal bathroom. Living in halls is your first step into adult-hood, meaning you and only you are responsible for your mess. Keep it tidy and keep people on your side, be the messy one in the flat and you’ll quickly be making enemies.

Customise your room
Student rooms are basic, there’s no denying it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add your own touch. White blu-tack is your best friend this semester and is a simple mess free way to brighten up your digs. Pop up some pictures of friends and family from back home, hang some fairy lights and treat yourself to some new bedding and it’ll instantly feel homelier.

Keep your door open
This might seem a bit weird at first, but leaving your bedroom door open when you’re just chilling in your room, doing some work or having a tidy up will make a massive difference to how you are perceived. It shows you are welcoming, approachable and open to speaking to people. Even if it’s a simple ‘want a brew?’ as somebody walks past, in uni life that can be the start of a lifelong friendship. Some of the best nights, chats and friendships will stem from the open door policy.

How To Make Your Student Loan Stretch

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT

We all know the best text you can ever receive is the one from Student Finance to say your loan is about to drop. The thought of having a stack of money dropped into your account suddenly turns you into a baller and you start planning round the world trips and what colour your Ferrari’s going to be.

But the minute it drops you’re brought crashing down to earth when you realise that you’ve got to make this money stretch while making sure you’re fed, have somewhere to sleep and still maintain a social life. The thought can be a bit daunting but it isn’t as bad as it seems.

We’ve put together a couple of tips that will help you manage your money better at uni, but we probably wouldn’t put a deposit down on a Ferrari just yet.

1. Budget, budget, budget!

We know it’s boring but sometimes sitting down and actually writing down how much money you have for the month can really help. Split your money up into rent, bills, food and transport to make sure you’re covering the important stuff and can keep yourself alive. Make sure you keep this money separate so you’re not tempted to use your rent money for a night out then any money left over you can use to treat yourself without feeling guilty.

via GIPHY

2. Food

Don’t forget there are loads of ways you can keep your food bill down, including bulk buying, scouting supermarkets for the best deals and planning your meals day to day. Batch cook your favourite meals and freeze them for a healthier and cheaper ready meal.

If you get on with your housemates you could even cook in bulk with them and share the bill, this also means you won’t have to cook every day. If you do fancy a takeaway it’s not the end of the world but scout around for the best deals. Make sure you keep hold of all of those leaflets you gathered at the freshers fair which will have some unreal food discounts on.

via GIPHY

3. Shop smart

Just because you’re on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t treat yourself to some new sneaks? At Footasylum we have the latest trainers for the best price AND you lucky students can get yourselves discount through UNiDAYS! Don’t say we don’t look after you lot.

4. Student Nights

Just because you’re on a budget it doesn’t mean you can’t have a social life. Find your local student nights at the pub, club and even some restaurants to enjoy cheap drinks and cheap food. Often hosted during the week (perfect for those uni free days) student nights are the perfect way to be social without blowing your whole student loan.

5. Transport

The main reason you’re receiving a student loan is that you go to uni so you need to be able to actually get there. If you’re living on campus, chances are you’ll be able to walk to lectures which will save you money while also keeping you fit. If you live a bit further out opt for a bus rather than a taxi or if you’re going to be getting the train daily, it’s worth investing in a 16- 25 railcard.

Clear packaging also means you can always see how much product you have left and thanks to the Pressure Control Device you'll use 98% of the product- mega.

With a full range of protectors, refreshers and cleaners launching on Footasylum we've got a breakdown of our favourite products from the collection and how to use them.

Apparel and Hat Protector Spray

Got a favourite t-shirt or hat that you want to protect from everyday spills? DFNS has got you covered with their Apparel and Hat protector spray. The water-based spray will protect your favourite pieces so you can enjoy them for longer. Simply spray the protector evenly over your chosen piece and leave to dry.

Spot Cleaner

We all know that stubborn stains have the potential to ruin our favourite outfits, but luckily DFNS is here to save the day with their Spot Cleaner. Featuring a formula that uses special stain lifting technology, this pen is your best defence against the most common food and drink stains.

A spring-operated micro-felt tip dispenses the solution nice and easily helping the solution lift and absorb the stain before drying on the spot with no need to rinse- bonus. Once you've used up all the solution the tube can also be recycled.

Cleaning Wipes

Keep your sneakers and clothing fresh on the go with DFNS' compostable bamboo cleaning wipes. These water-based wipes are non-toxic and biodegradable, while also being handy enough to carry in your wallet/bag for those emergency trainer care moments.

The unique solution quickly attaches to marks, lifting them from the source without the need for harsh chemicals or aggressive ingredients. Once used, they can be thrown straight into the compost. Their packaging—a renewable, bio-based plastic, is petroleum-free, carbon-negative and 100% recyclable.

Footwear Protector

Use this water-based, solvent-free liquid on your favourite kicks to keep them watertight and totally breathable.

Make sure you've given your trainers a bit of pampering and cleaned them before applying the protector. Spray evenly over your trainers to make sure your whole shoe is left watertight. Leave your sneaks to dry for around 20 minutes away from direct sunlight and you're done. Easy right?

Footwear Refresher

Trainers got a bit fragrant? It happens to the best of us. DFND's Footwear Refresher is a non-toxic, biodegradable, waterbased product that uses probiotics to eliminate odour in your favourite trainers.

Simply spray the inside of your trainers and leave them to dry completely, away from direct sunlight. After 24 hours your kicks will be smelling as fresh as you look.

Footwear Cleaner Kit

Serious about trainer care? Then this kit is a must-have. This kit contains a premium cleaning brush, microfibre cloth and DFNS' water-based and 100% biodegradable Footwear Cleaner.

To get your kicks sparkling simply wet the brush and apply cleaning gel. Gently scrub your sneaks and wipe clean with a soft cloth- you might have to repeat this step a couple of times to get your trainers gleaming.

Leave them to dry away from direct sunlight for 24 hours and then you're good to go! We'd probably give them a spray of the Footwear Protector too so they have an extra level of protection.

Apparel Launder

Hate ironing? Us too. But the good people at DFNS have got us covered with their Apparel Launder. This spray refreshes reshapes and de-wrinkles your garments in just 10 minutes.

Hang your garment or lay it flat on a surface, spray the product on the piece of clothing and wait 10 seconds. Smooth and pull the wrinkles apart and in 10 minutes your clothing will be looking refreshed and is good to go.

This latest drop from the Swoosh is easy to wear thanks to its stretchy, recycled Flyknit upper made from post-industrial recycled yarn and a collar that sculpts the ankle for a fit that feels as good as it looks.

A VaporMax wouldn't be a VaporMax without its iconic 1-piece Air unit that runs the length of the shoe. The Air unit made from recycled material provides more Air underfoot than ever before and allows for smoother transitions while providing next-level cushioning.

Designed to conquer, Monterrain's collection of men's performance wear is the perfect combination of function and technology.

Made to help you to push yourself further physically and mentally, Monterrain is the go-to brand if you're looking to upgrade your activewear.

Their latest campaign focuses on what drives us whether it's in the gym, on the football pitch or on the streets.

Discover what drives Arsenal's Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Leicester City's Vontae Campbell.

VONTAE CAMPBELL.

"The purpose that football gives me is just the hunger. I wake up in the morning and I'm, thinking what is my goal for today. Am I going to be the best in training? It really gives me this feeling I can't explain. I've had to sacrifice a lot, having to move away from my mum. It was a big sacrifice because it was just my mum by herself looking after me and three of my sisters so my mum is all I've known my whole life and then at 16 having to move to the other side of London and be there maybe five or six times a week and only seeing my mum for one day on a Sunday.

If I can do it anyone can do it. The opportunities will come. If they don't come just be patient.

I've got a taste of it now of where I want to be and I'm not going to stop until I get there. Anything, literally anything you throw at me I'm going to overcome it. That's my mindset."

BROOKE NORTON CUFFY.

"My personal favourite moment of my career so far is signing my pro contract for Arsenal. I dreamed of that as a kid. When I signed my contract I was proud but I was hungry. I just wanted to push on after that. I didn't want to just sign up for a contract and that be it, I wanted more. That's the moment that I realised that I'm actually a good player. I'm getting better, I'm working and I'm becoming what I need to become in order to stay on the track I'm on to become one of the best.

There was a point in time where I wasn't doing so well and I got too big for my boots. The coach sat me down and told me, look, you need to improve otherwise you're not going to be here for long and I realised that I need to do a bit more. I always need to do a bit more because there's always someone chasing me and I'm always chasing someone in front and even if I'm not chasing someone in front there's someone who wants my spot so just keep working hard always."

And finally, the dreaded school shoes. Again, surrounded by rules of what’s acceptable and what is a firm no, but don’t worry, you can’t go wrong with Kickers! If Kickers aren’t for you, Kings Will Dream and Nike have a selection of trainers and shoes that are perfect for the classroom or PE.

Off the Streets: Brighton

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT

The first of three Off the Streets events took place last weekend in Brighton and we've got the lowdown on all the action.

Racing at Brighton Karting, an 800m course with long straights and sweeping bends, there were three categories, Men’s and Women’s Fixed Gear Championship, Any Bike Championship and Wheelie Championship.

Our guys Jake 100 and RJ won the Wheelie Championship closely followed by Oneway Louis and Harvz.

For the Women's Fixed category Michelle De Graaf took home the victory but was pushed to the line by competitors Jo Smith and Kitty Dennis.

Off the Streets is a three-race series being held in Brighton, Gravesend and London, which we are very proudly sponsoring.

The collaboration between Jake100’s initiative Down To Ride and London based fixed gear race team One Life Cycle aims to build bridges with two wheels.

The rider with the most points in each category will win prizes at each round (some from Footasylum) and the winner of the overall series competition will be announced in London in October.

The next event takes place on the 12th September in Gravesend.

Introducing: On

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Born in the Swiss Alps in 2010, On started out on a journey to revolutionize the sensation of running with the best trainers on the market.

The story of On is quite a remarkable one. When professional athlete Olivier Bernhard retired, he knew he wasn’t completely done with the world of running; he wanted to create the perfect running trainer. Bernhard crossed paths with a like-minded engineer and as they say, the rest was history.

Two key components they wanted to incorporate were a cushioned landing and a firm take off, and these elements combined with their passion and knowledge for engineering and running was the perfect recipe.

Still not sold? The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology conducted a study which confirmed that runners wearing On trainers had a significantly lower heart rate and lower blood lactate levels whilst exercising. Impressive.

If you’re ready to elevate your running experience, discover the latest trainers and clothing from On.

Off the Streets: More Than Just a Bike Race

Fri, 06 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT

From leading the Knives Down, Bikes Up movement to being the face of some of our biggest Nike launches, we've always been a fan of Jake 100 which is why we're proud to be sponsoring Off the Streets - bike races like no other.

The collaboration between Jake100’s initiative Down To Ride and London based fixed gear race team One Life Cycle aims to build bridges with two wheels.

Spotlight On: Under Armour

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT

It’s time to get to know Under Armour.

Revolutionising the way athletes dress has been their focus from day one, starting with transforming the basic training t-shirt into one designed to give athletes a clear advantage.

Back in 2005, Under Armour waged the war against cotton. A fabric we all wear daily, but not a fabric built for sweat and endurance, which lead to the birth of UA TECH – engineered to feel like cotton, but work like Under Armour.

The combination of style and technology is what makes Under Armour the go-to for all your training, competing and gym wear needs. From t-shirts and shorts to gilets and trainers, they have everything you need no matter your style or location of training.

Under Armour continued to push themselves to find the perfect gym wear fabric and in 2011 Charged Cotton was introduced to the market. Charged Cotton is a unique blend of hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres which is essentially a mixture of fibres that love water and some that hate it. This creates a fabric that absorbs sweat and brings it to the surface as quickly as possible so it can evaporate from your clothing in the blink of an eye. It’s not just t-shirts that they’ve perfected.

Their collection of jackets are expertly designed with insulating, infrared technology and an outer layer that dispels water, giving you no excuse to miss that run.

If you’re ready to join the club, update your gym wear collection with the latest offerings from Under Armour.
