With a new year and exams coming up (or for those in university like me, a new semester beginning), I’m sure you don’t want to stress yourself out with money. It’s a tough thing for a student to obtain, so many seek part-time jobs and scholarships. Before I recommend some steps or methods on how…
I am totally not cynical about the holidays! I just like poking fun at songs. Designed for children. Poor, innocent minds… being corrupted with the following songs!
So, how have songs scarred children? I’m pretty sure as a child, you’ve never really questioned those mandatory assemblies where you have to sing carols and whatnot.
Was it just me, or did 2011 seem like it lacked holiday spirit? Maybe it was the snow, maybe it was people being too busy… but either way, I loved 2011. A lot of things happened around the year, but most of all it was the end of my Grade 12 year and the start…
What am I really happy about in the new Sherlock Holmes movie? The fact that they didn’t stick a lame “2” beside the title.

So in a place like Canada, you’d expect everyone to be super polite and nice, right? Well, that’s not always the case! Some people get very aggressive, especially during rush hour. So here are a few tips if you’re entering the bus, train or even airplane. 1. When you’re sitting, never sit immediately at the…
Most of you have probably heard of the Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child project. Essentially, you fill a shoe box with necessities like school supplies, hygiene items, and toys for children around the world who may not have the opportunity to afford or experience Christmas. Although the National Collection week (November 21-27) is over, you…
After reading Richie’s blog post about Saying “Hello” In 10 different languages, I’ve decided to look up those three tender words that should be nearly universal: I love you. And with the holidays coming up, I thought, why not spread the love? Yes I know, it’s not December yet. I don’t care! I love Christmas…
The Mustard Seed, an organization that helps homeless people get back on their feet and rebuild their lives, has created the Yet We Live line, so far consisting of three different t-shirt designs. For only $25, you get a stylish shirt with a tag that can also be used as a bookmark. For all you…
[youtube HNBMxTYgcxc] If you’re wondering why I posted a lip dub, then check out my previous post about this! I hope that was an entertaining five minutes of your time, because the Chinese Students’ Society has spent over a month being involved in the Blackberry Challenge hosted by CampusPerks. CSS is representing the University of…
For those of you who are on the fence about what to study in your post-secondary institution, The Wall Street Journal posted up a chart about the unemployment percentage and average earnings. The data was collected from the 2010 Census, and even though money isn’t everything, it would be nice to know that what you’re…

Calgary is buzzing about Mayor Nenshi’s new campaign called 3 Things for Calgary. It is basically 3 things that you can do to make your street, neighbourhood and city a better place; and Calgary definitely needs some improvements.
