This week I went shopping downtown – yes, in the freezing cold – and I found a really neat little clothing store on 17th avenue right by Bernard Callebaut called Blame Betty. The moment you walk into the store you immediately notice the unique edgy vintage-y atmosphere that you don’t find in shops the mall. There was a…
At the beginning, I honestly felt like Tintin was one of the least perceptive person ever. His dog, who is totally adorable, seems to discover 85% of stuff that moves the story along. Hm. And not only that, but Tintin deals a lot of property damage in the places he’s at. Although he is running from the ‘bad guys’, he still destroys almost half of an entire city.

For Western countries, it may seem strange to celebrate the New Year weeks after January 1st. For Chinese people, it’s a wonderful, joyous time, in which friends and family finally spend time together after a year’s hard work. The Lunar New Year represents a time to celebrate life, happiness, and wealth. There’s a story that…
It is the time of the year once again when a number of us are making choices for post-secondary, or if you are in Grade 11, thinking about what to do in university. It has already been a very gruelling task for me. I oscillated between varieties of programs like Political Science to Pure Mathematics…
The trees above are covered in spider webs as the 2010 Pakistan floods forced the eight- legged arthropods to seek refuge from the floodwaters. Another side effect of the floods? There were less mosquitoes.
For those of us in Grade 12, the coming days are a harbinger of stress and hours of studying – diploma exams are here. Worth 50%, these 2-3 hour multiple choice and/or essay exams are often the deciding factor when it comes to things like passing and failing a course; getting into the university of…
Is there anything worse than sleepless nights? Who can forget the utter feelings of despair and hopelessness of lying in your bed, checking the clock what feels like every hour only to find that in fact only three minutes have passed, wishing that you will somehow, magically fall asleep. If you can relate to the…
The wind blows, As the clouds had arose. Rain pouring down, Upon the beautiful town. Birds hiding in the trees, Everywhere drifting leaves. The lightning is coming, While it hits with heavy striking.

It’s been all over the news and it’s been especially big on the internet. I see resistance to SOPA and PIPA in social media, and other places on the internet that share information. I don’t like SOPA and PIPA either. Yay. What exactly is SOPA and PIPA? Well, m’dears, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)…
Now that we’re halfway through the first month of the first year, where are our resolutions now? When it gets to a certain point,we realize we’re just using recycled versions of our old resolutions. They may not always turn out the way we want them to, but at least they help when they’re there! Here…
I’m not lying when I say that buying denim from Levi’s really changed my entire perspective towards jean-shopping. Their jeggings are amazing. I’m not even kidding. When I tried on a pair when shopping during winter break and it was like heaven opened up and God himself proclaimed: “thou shalt buy these.” The fabric was nice and thick and…
