Love After a Long On-Off Relationship
I spent the majority of my teenage years thinking that I would be with the same person for the rest of my life. I felt that I knew everything there possibly was to know about them, and that our bond was unbreakable after many hormone-driven tantrums and break-ups. We still found our way back to each other, that to me at the time was special. I'm now 19 years old, and now realise that this was, to put it lightly, total crap. However this issue isn't just exclusive to teenagers, on again-off again relationships seem to be more common now than ever, but is the hassle really worth it? I don't think so. Is there a better option? Definitely.

Why the GameCube Is My Favourite Console Ever
I was born in the autumn of 1998, meaning my earliest memories of gaming as a whole was dominated by my two older brothers playing the Nintendo 64. The familiar, mesmerising glow the screen would give when they played Rainbow Road for the umpteenth time is something that will be forever imprinted into my brain—and perhaps the reason why I'm so short-sighted today. But I am not alone. Nintendo was immensely popular at this time for all types of gamers, and had barrels of momentum rolling into the new millennium. Being able to easily compete and thrive with the rival consoles such as the Sony's Playstation and Microsoft's XBox, looking back now, it makes no sense how their newest console, the GameCube, didn't attract the same following. By the time the Playstation 2 was released, our family's N64 was shoved swiftly up onto the shelf, never to be seen (until one of us fancied going back to the OG first person shooter, GoldenEye 007) as there was so much more fun to be had with a more diverse idea of gaming. The revolutionary Grand Theft Auto III bought out the dangerous side of gaming on a wider scale, and despite accusations of this franchise creating monsters and serial killers, it will still remain as one of the games that changed the game itself. Just it wasn't available on GameCube.
