The other day I had plans to attend my friend’s birthday party but had absolutely no time to go home or had any change of clothes with me. Instead of going in yoga pants and a t-shirt, I recalled a Youtube video about how to wear a cute dress from a man’s dress shirt. Luckily for me, I had plenty of guy friends who lived in Residence at the University of Calgary. So instead of freaking out, I tried out a few different dress styles. So don’t be afraid to flaunt a man’s t-shirt! I asked my friends and they didn’t even recognize that it was a man’s shirt. So if you’re in a fashion slump and have a guy’s shirt with you; try these styles!

How I wish I were in Greece right now instead of Calgary. *Frowns* I guess it’s fine if I get a real nice taste of their food and culture somewhere. *Smiles*…Except I won’t get the amazing vacation feeling. *Frowns again* My complaints out of boredom aside (I really have to stop daydreaming), this was my…
To be honest, I have no idea why this video is so addicting. This is simply one of those videos that you can’t help but watch over…and over….and over. Major genius points to the guy in this video. This is just too awesome.
In the midst of the concrete jungle downtown lies some gorgeous greenery; the Devonian Gardens. It is located in the The Core mall and is a beautiful, serene place to do some quiet work. It is a massive ‘2.5 acres and contains over 550 trees’ (Calgary Herald). As well as the trees, It also contains 2 Koi ponds (a pool for ornamental carp), a play area…
Since the 1700s, jobs were sent to whoever could do a task and charge the least amount of money. In the 1980s, jobs that North Americans had previously held were moving rapidly away to cheaper havens in developing countries. These countries charged less tax and wages were significantly lower. In the 2004 election, the Democrats criticized corporations…

A huge thanks to Kids Up Front for giving me the opportunity to let out my not-so-inner Flames’ fan this past weekend at the Flames and Oilers game. I would love to say that it was a hard fought match, but the 4-3 scoreline really suggests the game was a lot closer than it actually…
In our busy lives, we may quite easily forget who we are, what we’re aiming for, what makes us happy. Perhaps the most devastating part is that we forget our mortality. Sure, there are complaints about discomforts here and there, but we live as if we are immortal creatures: microwaved food feasts, parties (homework inclusive)…
Most times people search through numerous cookbooks in an attempt to find dazzling and complicated recipes, in hopes to woo their guests with their culinary expertise. Regrettably, oftentimes complicated desserts go awry, and end up being a much less sweet of a treat then anticipated. That’s why, for a chocolaty dessert, I made Fry’s Cocoa Brownies.…
