Secret St Andrews: Do you long to tell the world about your desire to eat mini muffins off of your Art History tutor’s sexy bod? Are you afraid of being judged as a freaky fetishist? This dirty secret, and more, can be safely and anonymously revealed in the haven of Secret St Andrews, a community art project from the Charities Campaign based on cult PostSecret. Write, draw or collage your secret onto one of the postcards being distributed in your hall, or outside Taste, the library and Rascals, and then post into one of the cute little red boxes in the same locations. The postcard exhibition will be going up in Rascals on Thursday, and last year there were some real gems, so we encourage you to go and have a peek.

Art Soc Creative Lock-In: You can really get your artistic fill this week as Art Soc throws its latest, and dare we say, most awesome, collaboration with the likes of Inklight, ST.ART, Jazzworks and Knit Soc. Saturday sees all these and more congregate in the Barron for a night of awe-inspiring projects, including a ma-hoo-sive canvas, clay sculpture, poetry freestyle-ing and general arty mayhem. Bring your duvets and get stuck in to what is going to be a damn inspirational night, snacks provided.

B-Sides presents Midland: St Andrews’ B-Sides DJs are bringing you one of the best acts yet to be playing Venue 1, house/garage/d’n’b extraordinaire, DJ Midland. Prepare yourself, have a listen to some of his mixes here and you’ll hear it’s going to be a truly fresh night. Tickets can still be purchased in Taste at the pre-sale price of £6 or you can buy one on the door for £8. This is not to missed.

Welly Ball: We know the drill – Hunters are no longer confined to puddle-wear with the annual Welly extravaganza. With 700 dinner guests and 400 more for the after party, this year is massive, with all proceeds going to charity Farm Africa. 10 Dollar Shake are working the bar, and the bloody good raffle prizes include goodies from Glenfiddich, Emma Bridgewater, Dunmore and, of course, Hunter. Get a ticket whilst you still can.

Vote on NUS: The absolutely crucial NUS referendum is coming up this week, so if you still haven’t heard much about it then get clued up and for goodness’ sake: VOTE. Your vote will affect a serious turning point for our Union; one to the tune of more than £20,000, so it’s absolutely vital that you voice your opinion and try to make it a reality. The best bit? Voting is taking place online from Wednesday to Friday, so you don’t even have to leave your bed to make a difference.
