Other than Kpop, I am a huge fan of KDramas. I know, I know, I hear all the sighs and eye rolls through the screen. How much more Korean can I get, right? Turns out, KDramas are not just popular in Korea. Generally, everyone thinks KDramas are a pastiche of cliche elements of fiction. I…
The first step to solving a problem is admitting that you have it. Sigh, fine. I AM LAZY AND I PROCRASTINATE AND AP EXAMS ARE IN LIKE TWO WEEKS PLEASE HELP ME. Alright, alright, listen up. This isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Two weeks is plenty of time to prepare for…
The YouTube community has grown paranoid, overly protective of itself, fearful of even the smallest twitch from non-YouTube entities possibly moving into their domain. It was this mindset that caused this issue to blow up like this, the community immediately assumed that because of this franchise and the trademark they would all be hunted down…
I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Storybook Theater’s rendition of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. I walked out of the theater with a single collective emotion: horror. The audience was able to journey with the characters through their spiral into insanity and with the close proximity of the actors to the audience,…
Science programs can be divided by their research methods. Due to the nature of the respective majors, much of the research in Chemistry will be through lab work, while much of mathematics research would be through computational methods. This divide is significant due to the fact that the majority of “lab” sciences courses require you…

In late January and early February, something happened within the Youtube community that truly challenged the nature of Youtube as a platform for entertainment. The Fine Brothers made an announcement video announcing the creation of ReactWorld, a company that offers the license to creators for them to begin creating their own ‘React’ videos. For those who…
Happy Army Day everybody! Did YOU know that today is Army day? I posed this question to a lot of my friends, and their answers mainly consisted of… “no”‘. I was also unaware of this day of appreciation until recently, and it’s safe to say that the significance of those who form the army is…
Over the spring break, I was fortunate enough to visit my favourite city: San Francisco. I actually used to live there for about three years but my family never quite explored the city and saw all that it had to offer. So on this trip, we did it all and enjoyed the various wonderful things that…
We’ve all been there before; in fact, I’m there right now. With the summer approaching with no concrete plans for vacations, I’m on the scourge for meaningful ways to spend my time. While it’s easy enough to want to find opportunities to fulfill that, it is suddenly 10x more difficult when you think about just HOW…
