However, instead of holing up in your blankets all winter, here are some fun ideas for you to get out there and embrace the chilly snow! (We do…
Yep, this week brings another round of first world problems! In the humorous way they are presented in “My Grandma follows me on Twitter” by Craig and Marc Kielburger, they never get boring. Let’s jump right in. #18 I’m procrastinating going to the dentist because I haven’t flossed and I don’t want a lecture from…
I have visited Joey’s several times and it has been because of the positives of this restaurant and even further this franchise. Positives: -Delicious food -Well attentive service – Fair pricing – Accommodate for food allergies -Friendly staff -Large menu Negatives: The only Negative I could think of would be that they do not take…
Can you recall the days that you wake up completely exhausted? It’s usually due to lack of sleep. There are also days in which you sleep in, past the sufficient amount of time, and still feel tired. On the other hand, you sometimes hardly sleep at all, yet you wake up feeling refreshed. Humans have…
Albert Einstein once said, “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” Myself and many others agree that that day is now upon us. Over the last 50 years or so, technology has evolved in such a drastic way that it has completely changed the way…
As we are nearing the end of the year, we are also nearing the end of the semester. For many, I’m sure that means more work to do and a lot to study for. If there’s one thing I know about highschoolers and work, it’s that it is usually put off. Whenever people find that…
Snow is covering the ground. Christmas lights are twinkling. Trees all decked out are becoming a common sight in living room windows. Christmas music is being blasted in the malls and on the radio 24/7 (if you listen to lite 95.9 that is). Malls are becoming increasingly busy; yes folks, the holidays are upon us.…
In the footsteps of one of my favorite YouTubers, Kingsley, I have decided to do my own Overexposed 2013. For anyone who doesn’t know who he is or what Overexposed means, it is pretty much a list of certain things such as songs, viral videos, celebrities and more that have gotten way too much hype…
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re a teenager. And if you’re a teenager, there’s a very good chance that your life isn’t always smooth sailing. We’ve all been there. Confused, angry, depressed, anxious, hopeless. And often times, there isn’t anybody to talk to. Sure, you probably have close friends and great…
“Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice.”-Nelson Mandela Going to the other side of the world to volunteer? Why do that when you can volunteer in your local community? After attending WeDay Alberta 2013, my interest in international volunteer trips was once again stirred up. I was part…
When I was a kid I watched movies all the time. Mostly they were Disney, of course, but some of them were amazing and heart warming non-Disney movies. Though I often fell for movies like Cinderella and the Lion King, The Land Before Time has been apart of my childhood that I wanted to share…
Looking for something to impress your girl? Your man? Check out some of these awesome songs for the piano and voice. They are nice to entertain just for the casual meeting, talent show, or just something to break the silence and find a connection with someone else. You could also bring this to your next…
This weekend marked the glorious entry into December. A part from marking the beginning of your Michael Buble Christmas album rampage, December can also mean a time for giving. As Technology Editor for YAA, I will be doing four editions of the top five presents for the lovely technology geeks in your life. The four…
For the past three days, Calgary has been badly affected by the weather conditions. The blizzard, with its snowstorm and wind gusts, literally splashed the city with that white matter. Walking or driving in that knee-deep snow was nothing less than an adventure ride. On one such “adventure drive,” all I expected to see was…
I watched Catching Fire on opening day; here are a few reasons why it was amazing. The movie stayed true to the book. Although the movie was even more fast paced, it was almost word for word with the book. Only a few events were missing. The emotions and the sequences of events remained untouched.…
