The new emojis were made for life at Durham

The release of the iOS 9.1 update has satisfied every Durham student’s emoticon obsession with the addition of 100 new emojis.

Whether you’re an avid Champagne soc member or you just really love Greek vases, Apple has enabled Durham’s bubble to become just that bit more tragic.

Champagne bottle

The epitome of Durham in a single 16px image. There is no doubt our Instagram feeds will soon be scattered with Champagne Society’s Winter Ball photos but now featuring the popped bottle emoji. As if we hadn’t seen enough Hattie’s posing with the giant bottle of Laurent Perrier, this new addition guarantees we’ll all be sick of the sight of champagne by December.

Waff Mondays have never been easier to organise on the group chat.

Amphora

It is difficult to think of a situation when an amphora emoji will ever be used by the majority of us but Apple have fulfilled every archaeologist’s dreams with the addition of this Greek wine jar. Finally they can express their excitement at the next trip to Hadrian’s Wall.

Unicorn 

For those of you still insistent on posting your Secret Garden Party memories online or who continue to bizarrely wear glitter on your cheekbones to Klute. The unicorn emoji is the virtual embodiment of your apparent edginess. Usually you’d use the horse, because obviously you own one, but the unicorn is the keyboard personification of your constant desire to escape wherever you are.

Skier

When Durham’s elite flock to Val-Thorens in the New Year, the new skiing emoji will no doubt accompany the abundance of ‘classic’ Palatinalps photos we are prepared to endure. January is set for weeks of emoji madness as the champagne popping, glitter wearing skiers #tbt their way through term.
