So I changed my mind. I did a quick Google search and found my advice in a previous column very common if not downright cliche. The majority of students can find the advice I offered and much more from the average website. Therefore, I will not continue my ramble on how to apply for university.…
Nowadays it’s tough to find good, independent and fun games, especially on a tight budget. What with flashy shooters such as Call of Duty or Battlefield, often the simpler games go forgotten; games that allow you to sit down and play without being assaulted by a cacophonous slew of explosions and flashing lights. And so…
When I was looking for a driving school last year, it was hard for me to decide between price versus quality. On one end of the spectrum there was an extremely pricey AMA driving school that had magnificient reviews. On the other end, tiny family-owned driving schools pop up left, right and centre.

Right in front of an interactive crowd, Joshua Jay literally has created his own brand of “magic” that transforms spectators to be participants, for it be fun and engaging, and most of all, he…
This YouTube rapper, who has also appeared on Ellen, may be the fastest rapper in the world. He believes he can go faster but thinks then the viewers would not be able to interpret the words. In fact, he is such a fast rapper, that he had his pet cat beside him just to show…

When reading countless novels I look for those that stand out and show not only strong growth in character but also a more realistic way for “normal” people to develop. “Normal” referring to all us Muggles who don’t live in a world of fantasy. I hold nothing against fantasy novels but a novel where reality…
“This brings me to my final point. Some might think that the American sports parent is an analog to the Chinese mother. This is so wrong.

In my last post I promised to explain my extended absence from the blog, and I intend to keep that promise.
