How to know I'm being gaslit?

Figure out the truth babes. When someone is making you question the very reality in which we exist and the depth of your emotions, figure out a good marker of the truth, so you can know for a fact what happened. If their gaslighting of choice orally, then I suggest try and have all your contact on chat - that way there's a crystal-clear record of what has been said for you to refer back to.

Generally though, it's unlikely there's a huge conspiracy against you and if everyone is of the same mind, then it seems unlikely you're being gaslit. However, everything is subjective and you know your emotions and experiences better than anyone else. If it's all getting too much, seek help - Piki is a good anonymous counselling service and there are others out there too.

What's the biggest fashion sin?

Skinny jeans (that are worn by choice) without a doubt. They are simply ugly and unflattering. There's never an occasion and never an excuse. That being said, I should really backtrack and consider not everyone has the luxury of expelling skinny jeans from their life. So be nice, however they are still ugly and that's just a fact.

What's the best student meal?

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with pasta. Unless you're gluten free, in which case grow up.
