Varsity 101: Maintaining Relationships

Rena Stephanus


Human interactions are vital and this does not stop when you get into university. I once read somewhere that the friends you make in university will become your friends forever. I agree with this statement as through my years of studying I have met wonderful people, I have created relationships that are based on more than just academics and interactions when the semester breaks are over.

You must become teachable

I have walked a journey that has been inspired from the onset by a man I call my father. He has been able to inspire me in his journey, he not only spoke words of wisdom into my life, but he too was the set example of what it looks like to walk in those words of wisdom. I have been fortunate enough to be inspired and planted into by people who deemed my journey worth planting into. I am the classic definition of – it takes a village to raise a child. I have had people mentor me from all walks of life, I have had people plant wisdom into me, not because they wanted anything in return, but simply because they saw a burning desire in my heart to want to do better and do better.

That’s BS: How to be an Instagram Boyfriend

I like to say I have trained the people in my life on how I want my pictures taken. I do the same with whoever my boyfriend is at the time. Imagine spending 80% of your time with someone who doesn’t know how to take pictures of you – could never be me.

If you didn’t know, my Instagram feed is very important to me. Lol. It’s my life as a mood board. So if your girlfriend/partner feels the same way about theirs, you need to get your Instagram and picture taking skills up! Pronto!!!

Where to Eat: Butcher Block Namibia

By Elzaan Nel

As you probably know, I rarely go eat out at franchise restaurants. I always feel like something gets lost when doing a copy-paste establishment, BUT this was not the case in Butcher Block Namibia.  Having all the perks of a franchise restaurant, such as trained chefs, systems in place and a well thought through menu yet offering you the feeling of an authentic local steak house. I eagerly awaited the opening of Butcher Block in the Am Weinberg estate since I saw their 1st instagram post in November last year.  Checking every odd week to see if they’ve opened yet and getting excited when they post food photos online.
