It's a Mess!

2024-05-24

Upon entering your home, you examine the surroundings. Unfortunately, everything is the same. There are piles of dishes on the sink, paper sheets scattered all around the desktop, and, of course, the chair. Oh yes, that chair. It would be reasonable to assume that a chair is used for sitting, but not that one. It has not been used in ages, simply because it is occupied by mountains of clothes. Whenever the pile seems to be reducing, new clothes appear out of nowhere to fill the empty spots. You cannot help but wonder why it’s always a mess.

Psykisk ohälsa

2024-03-22

Psykisk ohälsa är något som har blivit allt vanligare i samhället, samtidigt som det blir allt stressigare hos studenter och arbetare. Många lider av att samhällsnormer inte tillåter dem att visa sina känslor och det kan bero på den personliga kulturella bakgrund som vissa har.

You’re Not That Special

2024-03-22

In a world where everyone is focused on themselves, have you ever stopped to think about the value of considering other people, too?

Haircut Crisis

2024-01-08

Don't trust that classmate who claims to be an experienced barber.

The Weather Is Amazing, Isn't It?

2024-01-05

So, this is how it is. I am this new kid (at heart, at least) in this city, and while I love so many things about Stockholm, there are definitely things that I really wish were different. Let us begin with this great weather, shall we?

A Guide to Gratitude

2023-11-02

“It’s not the happy people who are grateful. It is the grateful people who are happy.” This quote from the English philosopher Francis Bacon posits that gratitude makes us happy. But how much truth lies in these words? What is gratitude actually, which positive effects can it have, and how can it be practiced?

Händer allt av en anledning?

2023-11-02

Har du någonsin tänkt på varför vissa saker hände just dig och inte någon annan? Är det av slumpen eller av någon anledning?

2023-11-02

In this exploration of the profound themes of impact and influence, we invite you to delve into the intricate web of events, people, places, and situations that shape our lives.

The Royal Blue mot Uppsala

2023-10-26

Det finns faktiskt få saker som ger oss KTH:are mer glädje än att få skryta om vår älskade skola. För oss är det en ära att bära de blåvita färgerna, som inte bara smyckar skolans hallar men även essensen av studentlivet. Bland alla stolta blåvita bärare utmärker sig vårt egna hockeylag, The Royal Blue, som en sann representation av vår stolthet.

The Great Summer Escape

2023-06-14

The summer time brings forth the urge to either take a breather and simply laze around as you bask under the sunlight, preferably with a light breeze and cool drink or to explore a new sight, where everything is a novelty to you, the people, the food and history. In this travel guide, we aim to provide spots that can fulfill either ambitions, all while considering each student’s (current) kryptonite: money!

Surviving Inflation

2023-04-19

Remember the good times, when butter didn't cost an arm and a leg? I sure do! Everywhere you look, prices are high and it's a sore sight to see. CSN has been raised to combat the high costs of living - but even then, it’s barely enough! Just recently, it was reported by SSCO that students STILL lose about 2700 kr every month! Is there a method for surviving inflation, or are we all financially doomed?

Which Chapter are You?

2023-04-18

When you start studying at KTH and become a member of THS, you are automatically assigned to a chapter based on your programme. What if that never happened? What if we chose chapters not by what subject you are going to study, but based on personality quizzes, intelligence tests or what you would bring to a deserted island? Ask no more. Osqledaren has developed a foolproof method to assign you to the chapter you ACTUALLY belong to. Flip to the next page and find out.

Is Sustainability Sexy?

2023-04-14

You might have asked this question yourself already. Or at least you do now. And I am sure you are literally dying to know the completely unbiased answer. Thank God that OL has investigated whether or not a sustainability-vibe makes you sexy.

Dancing With Delight — PQ’s Baletten Palettens 65-års Jubileum

2023-04-06

You might know them from their striped yellow shirts and black tailcoats; or you might know them as the band with the tiger-striped bus. But did you know that it was the dance group's 65 year anniversary performance recently? And that it wasn’t actually PQ’s?

Swedish Student Life: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

2023-03-25

The general public is composed of a variety of social groups and more often than not popular culture has shown that the smaller these groups are the more odd they might seem. University students are no exception to that phenomenon. Bearing that in mind, there must be a smorgasbord of university traditions across the globe that to the average outsider might either seem incredibly fun or very confusing.

The Comic Page™

Ludvig Kalinovski's second comic page in Osqledaren!

Handling It

2023-03-17

People are wrong. They go on with their busy life, thinking the world revolves around them. They have strong opinions, which they believe to be facts. This list of “facts” goes on and on, including: the sky being blue, tomatoes being vegetables or IKEA mugs not being sentient. Well, they are just wrong! As a matter of fact, the sky has many colors, tomatoes are obviously fruits and IKEA mugs are unmistakably sentient. And I am one of them.

Alcoholic Boy Scouts

2023-03-08

I was witnessing what felt like a circus, everyone was dressed in different colourful overalls and bouncing around in unison at the ripe hour of 9am. What kind of caffeine filled fever dream had I just stumbled into?

Unexpected Puppy

2023-01-31

During my brief five year-old life I have learned many things. It might not seem like it, but five years contain plenty of time: I learned to count, to spell, even to rhyme! However, the hardest lesson I learned is that I never, ever, get what I want.

Don’t Expect the Worst

2023-01-25

Lost baggage, no accommodation, shattering the expectations of an enjoyable "orientation" period were only the start to my Swedish journey. Does this sound familiar? Here is what that hectic shift really looked like for me. No sunshine and rainbows, but a good story to tell.

No Expectations

2023-01-02

"When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing", it says in the Bible. Whether you are religious or not: having no expectations could give us true freedom, right? No expectations - no disappointment. But is that even possible?

Whales in Data

2022-09-28

Whales are mystical in many cultures. The word cetacean (a term that describes all whales, dolphins and porpoises) comes from Greek, actually meaning "huge sea monster". In many Maori Tribes, whales are sacred since they are seen as descendants of the ocean god Tangaroa.

Beachside Blubber Blast

2022-09-27

“Half a ton of dynamite. I'm confident that it'll work! The only thing is.. we're not sure just exactly how much explosives it'll take to disintegrate this thing.”

Festa roligt och säkert!

2022-09-22

Som ny på campus - vad behöver du veta om studentlivet på campus, och framförallt om festerna?

A Tribute to The Great Sperm Whale

2022-06-14

This article is about an insanely loud creature that can grow to be 20 meters long and weigh up to 80 tonnes. Now, before you make any witty remarks about my mother, I assure you that you’re not as clever as you think you are and you’re not ready to tread down that path. Instead, I want to tell you about the greatest animal that’s ever blessed God’s green earth with its presence. The animal that possesses the largest brain in the entire animal kingdom: the sperm whale.

So You Hit the Jackpot

2022-05-24

Your mouth is wide open, your hands are shaking, your brain is in utter disbelief. You hear someone playing the drums, but turns out it’s your heart. Congratulations! You just won the lottery, hit the jackpot!

Meal Replacement Review

2022-04-28

We tried meal replacement products from four different brands - so you don't have to!

Playing Runescape for Survival

2022-03-24

Throughout my childhood, just like for most of my friends, gaming was a source of entertainment and the greatest competitor for my spare time. However, in the context of an economy in decay and where resources are scarce, online gaming has come to take up a different role in the lives of many Venezuelans. It has become a necessity for survival.

OL Matchmaking

Happy valentines day! Maybe someone from our personal ads can be your date?

OL Glögg Review 2021

A very special guest, 12 flavors of glögg and an editorial in the mood for a party. What could go wrong?

När lammen tystnar

2021-12-10

Den fick mig till slut. Rånan. C19. Coviden. Den har länge gått vid min sida men nu förlorade jag till slut schackpartiet.

PQ fyller 65 - och går i pension?

2021-12-04

Följ Promenad orkester och med Baletten Paletten i deras buss för en resa genom tiden, i en fartfylld, unikt och humoristisk konsert som inte går att förutsäga! Spoiler alert: PQ verkar inte finnas i framtiden!

A World Without Humans

2021-11-18

What if one day every single human on earth were to mysteriously vanish without a trace? No more playful shouts of children coming from the school yard, no more ongoing drone of traffic clogging the streets, nothing. What would happen to the place we once called home when no one is there anymore?

Zoom Etiquette

2020-12-08

Zoom lectures, seminars and exams are part of our everyday life now. However, this new, remote way of life comes with a new set of etiquette rules...

En utbytestermin i Valencia

2020-12-08

Slask. Jag har svårt att komma på något jag avskyr mer. För er som råkar vara insatta i polsk fotboll så är det inte klubben Śląsk Wrocław jag avskyr utan jag syftar snarare på den typen av snö som av någon anledning vägrar smälta helt och hållet. Snön som klamrar sig fast vid sitt forna jag likt en amerikansk president som förlorar makten efter enbart fyra år. Ni vet att man brukar säga att samerna har mer än 200 ord för att beskriva olika snöförhållanden? Jag har bara ett ord som beskriver vad jag känner för slask: hat.

OL On The Streets: Viral Reporting

2020-04-27

KTH is closed to all students for an uncertain period of time. The existence of the Corona Virus COVID 19 has certainly not slipped anybody's mind. OL was lucky enough to get the chance to talk to some students the last day before the official KTH Campus shutdown. We asked them what they were still doing on campus during such a time of paranoia, what they were up to, and what they were planning to do in the case of a campus shutdown.

Drömfabriken

2020-04-27

Det finns en idé på senare år som säger att KTH blivit en ingenjörsfabrik, dit unga och yngre personer kommer för att jobba upp ett studielån, som sedan betalas tillbaka medelst högavlönade yrken, vilka diverse mor- och farföräldrar har svårt att beskriva för sina seniora vänner i vårt långa land falukorv.

Antons Replik på "Svar på replik till artikeln ”Hur woke är KTH?” i OL #2 2019"

2020-02-12

Först och främst, tack för en välskriven replik! Det är inspirerande att få reaktioner av läsare. Sedan kan Dina Oetterli glädjas av att känselspröten varit på service som föreslaget, och är därmed om möjlig ännu mer finkänsliga än tidigare.

Att plugga med barn. Hur går det egentligen?

2019-10-10

(Den här artikeln är en fortsättning på artikeln från OL#1 med samma namn) Martin Nilsson har nyligen blivit farsa för andra gången. Den här gången precis innan han skulle påbörja sin master!
