Just Thank You Southampton
Thu 5th March 2009 @ 1:28:pm
It feels appropriate just to say thank you Southampton. Right now, I'm the happiest man alive.

Just Thank You Southampton

It feels appropriate just to say thank you Southampton. Right now, I'm the happiest man alive. Thank you so much for this, I won't let you down at all.

 Thank you so much for all the support, but I just feel like I have to say thank you to all the other candidates. They pushed me so hard every day and a lot of the time I felt like I was being outdone,

 What I can say is that we all worked together to push the voting figure sky high. Every one worked so hard and it's a shame we all couldn't win. I'm confident in every candidate and I'm absolutely sure they all would have made great Presidents.

 But thank you for having faith in me, and even those who didn't vote for me, I promise I won't let you down.

 Thank you Southampton.

The Final Countdown

This week has actually been the best of my University career. It's been non-stop, three hours of sleep a night, back on the concourse for half 8 every day for the best positions.  We've met so many new people and it's been so much fun. We've been trying to reach as many people as possible, talking to people, finding out... (more)

This week has actually been the best of my University career. It's been non-stop, three hours of sleep a night, back on the concourse for half 8 every day for the best positions.

 We've met so many new people and it's been so much fun. We've been trying to reach as many people as possible, talking to people, finding out what they want from their Union and telling them a bit about my policies and experience. I know it can sometimes be annoying for some students when all they want is to get to their lectures and everyone's trying to campaign to them. So sorry to anyone that has been frustrated with all the noise and kefuffle!

I hope everyone who votes will vote for the best candidate. I promise I won't let you down and will work the hardest I've worked at anything. I have a big range of experience within  SUSU and it's the most relevant to the Job. I really will do an amazing job and I hope that I've convinced you.

So please remember to Vote! I hope you've enjoyed the Campaign, please remember to watch my video and lastly thanks for reading this. I hope you've enjoyed the campaign as much as I have.

Super candidate love,

Steve

I won't lie to you...best day ever!

Okay, where to start. the concourse was the most fun place ever today.

Okay, where to start.

 the concourse was the most fun place ever today. Brimming with sound and people (though not many voters), there were trumpets, tent games and even pole dancing.

 I woke up feeling groggy today, after four hours sleep and with a sofa to somehow relocate to the concourse. I won't beat around the bush, things were looking grim and I was feeling dusty!

 However, after a can of Relentless and a Crunchie (in my opinion the best chocolate bar ever) things started to look up. It was a great day for the campaign and a great day for the individual campaign teams. I couldn't help but feel a sense of comeradery with my opponents. With the trumpets blasting and pole dancers dancing! The concourse really was the place to go, so much so I felt the need to have a go my self. My prowess on the pole even prompting one passer by to enquire whether I had had lessons....I haven't, well none that I would tell people about.

 As the day went on, we had the SUSU.tv interviews, which I think went pretty well! You can check them out pretty soon on the SUSU.org website. So have a little looky!

 Any hoo! Hope to see you all around at some point this week and next!

 Muchos Campaign Love,

Well wow wee!, campaign week is nigh and preparations are nearly completed! I can't believe it's come so fast!

Well wow wee!, campaign week is nigh and preparations are nearly completed! I can't believe it's come so fast! I remember first year, when Ben Rogers was president, who I won't lie was probably the coolest dude ever! Now nearly 3 years and 2 presidents later, it's my turn, although, I'm definitely not as cool as Ben was, I definitely think I'm up for the job!

I love campaign week every year! Regardless of the outcome, the concourse is always busy, bustling with people and sounds, and of course bright colours! It really injects life into the Union and that's the way it works best, when everyone gets involved! There's going to be hundreds of people on loads of different campain teams with words like manifesto and vote being thrown around like hot, smelly potatos! I'm sure there's gunna be some stress, afterall this is a massive deal for all of the people going up for things! But I'm really looking forward to it, I can't wait to get out there and just meet a load of different people!

Everything is going smoothly at the moment but I have some other pressing issues, like some one has been stealing my ham. So while I try and find the phantom pork fiend, you guys all remember to vote!

I know everyone can't win, but there's no reason we can't have an amazing week! Good luck to all the candidates, I hope everyone has an awesome week and I shall see you all with your banners, t-shirts, blimps, billboards and what ever else on Monday!

Election Love,

Steve

FOR MORE INFORMATION AND CAMPAIGN UPDATES!

I'd begin my night early evening with a Varsity dinner date with Winston Churchill. We'd have a little chat about his life, loves, politics and of course the War. After a long discussion and the revelation that I'm the only one he feels he can really open up to, we would enjoy a delightful dish of scampi and chips together. Before parting ways, Sir Winston would insist on giving me his top-hat to remember the night. I'd refuse of course, but if you know Winston, he didn't win the War by giving in, so of course I'd have to accept!

Post-Varsity, I'd meet up with Alexa Chung for Hot-Dogs and Karaoke in the Stags. After a rendition of "I've Got You Babe", we'd migrate to the sparkling lights of Bevois Valley for a stop-off in the Hobbit. She'd have a Bilbo, I'd have a Gollum. After realizing that guy from the Arctic Monkey was not for her, and in fact 3rd year history students are the new in thing we'd retire back to mine, spending the hours of the early morning watching old Jonathan Creek episodes and eating Haribo together.

More about me
Hello! I'm Steve and I'm a third year history and politics student. I've been here a while now and I'd like to think I've made the most of my experience here. University has been a wild ride. I've met so many people and had many of what I would honestly describe as 'adventures'. From the first week of Fresher's, I knew this was the place for me, and I've got involved with as much stuff as I possibly could since then.

My best memory of Uni is probably halls in first year. Having all of your best friends in such close proximity is something that you get few times in your life. Whether you were going out or just staying in for a DVD it was so easy

My Union experience comes from a a lot of different places. From the first weeks of first year I was one of the lucky few to get a bar job at the halls bar and soon after I was made a manager. This was probably the most fun job I've ever had and given their imminent take over by the Union, I have a lot of valuable insights into how they operate. We had a great time organizing loads of events for the Freshers and making sure they all had a good time.

I also serve on the University Senate. The coolest thing about this role is that I get to call my self Senator, but it's also given me an in-depth knowledge of all University policies and processes, which will be essential for a SUSU President. I've also been on the Welfare Committee, University Court, Union Council, Surge Radio and was Head Fresher's Rep in Chamberlain Halls for the year just gone, so I hope you all had a great time!

As President of the History Society, I organized regular, large and money making events with an attendance of over 700 people. I took a lead role in re-branding the society and making it a formidable society within the Union. I also know exactly how societies run and the information and training that they need to be as fruitful as they can.

Oh and If you're a fresher, you may have seen me on the DVD before you came to Uni. A film crew followed me around during Fresher's week just to show potential Freshers what to expect. Unfortunately, whilst cooking my first meal, amidst all the excitement of filming, I burnt my toad in the hole! Needless to say, I ate it any way.

I love Southampton Uni. The people, the place, the whole thing. I've got some of the best memories I've ever had here and I'd like some more. I know I'm the man with a plan who can get students, you guys what you need and change the Union for the better. The Union can be better and I'm the one who can make it better.
Movies I love..
