Here are the most important things that happened in Newcastle this year

Two cars were stolen from a student house in Jesmond

Three Northumbria students got home from a night out at Swingers to find out that their house had been broken into. As well as Macbooks, speakers and a camera being stolen, the burglars also stole two of their cars. However, the girls were later reunited with the cars and some of their possessions.

A door was booted down at a Heaton house party and the residents set up a just giving page to replace it

Their landlord was asking for £1000 but Bubble Student jumped in and saved the day.

They then had a PARTY to celebrate their new door

It was jokes and the old door even made an appearance as a special guest.

A petition was launched appealing for free sanitary products across campus

A student started a petition to campaign for free sanitary products to be be put in all university buildings. There's currently 320 signatures, but it's definitely worth getting on board with.

You voted Jack Beattie as the Maddest Fresher of 2018

Jack was in a club when he thought it would be an excellent idea to attempt to swing off a pipe over the crowd, resulting in said pipe snapping under his weight. The pipe was actually a sewage pipe which consequently sprayed piss over everyone in the immediate vicinity. Lovely.

Greggs did this cool thing with their sign

Greggs pulled it out the bag again and managed to make Christmas even better. On the day of the Fenwick's window opening the Greggs opposite switched their sign so that it was backwards.. meaning you can read it's reflection perfectly when you gaze at The Snowman.
