University. It’s the next step for many of us after primary and secondary school. University is the goal for many of us. I finally reached it, after many years, along with millions of other students this year and the years before. This period can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. During high school…
At 8 I was told I’m too dark. At 10 I was told I look like a terrorist. At 11 I was told I should shave my face. At 15 I was told I am too short. And at 17 I have finally made peace with myself and my body. Having gone to 14 different…
For most of my friends their last day for high school was back on June 13, 2017. For me it was the last Friday of July this year. I just had a bit of upgrading to do before I started university. This last month was truly enjoyable for me, it wasn’t just about getting good…
Before reading about my amazing adventure on the first Friday of July, I must warn you about all the spoilers for the new Spider-Man: Homecoming movie. On Friday, the 7th, after having written my exam and a long week at summer school, a good friend of mine and I had made the plan to go…
My playlist is very varying I must say, so hopefully theres something on there that everyone can if not indulge but partially tolerate. I hope there’s something new for you to try on here, or you can recognize a few of these songs. I have linked my Spotify road playlist, so give it a…
As I was getting ready for grad, I thought it would be fun to ask some of my friends about their stories about getting ready for prom. A friend of mine decided to come with her family, my best friend with her a date, and a good friend of mine with her last minute date.…
Prom, grad, formal, many names for the same event. It’s a night where the graduating class and some parents and teachers dress up. Its a night many people dream about. It was certainly a night I had been looking forward too since I was 8 years old and saw Cinderella for the first time. I…
Home, something some of us identify as a house, an apartment, somewhere we live; for some of us its two eyes and a heart beat, and for me, its UBC. As strange as it sounds, its my home. It was the first place I lived in Canada, and I just fell in love with the…
Now although I would recommend seeking out every corner of Vancouver, I do not think it will be possible in just one or two road trips. I still haven’t done it and I lived there for a year. So out of my list, though it was painstakingly awful for me to just pick 9, these…
Friday, April 21st My dream was about to come true. Finally. After nine years, I would finally be able to play in the Chan center in UBC. My dad graduated here, and I hope to as well one day. We worked with an amazing conductor (and I won’t say who, just for confidentiality purposes) on…
After having waited what seemed like forever, I was finally on my way home this year. Ever since the ninth grade, I wished to go on the Vancouver band trip, the Seattle nor the California trip excited me as much as this one. The reason I call Vancouver home, is a reason that deserves its…
It is nearly time for the annual Metamorphosis Gala! So get your dresses, nice dress pants, high heels, dress shirts and blazers ready! Annually the Alberta’s children’s hospital youth philanthropy council throws this gala to raise money for mental health initiatives at the Alberta’s children’s hospital. I myself applied to join this amazing council after I…
Participating in the Duke Of Edinburgh’s International Award and my local 4H club has pushed me to develop skills to meet new people, try new things and realize that I can do it, if I set a goal to reach.
Once again, I was able to go to the theater to see the mesmerizing on screen chemistry of Emma stone and Ryan Gosling. I see now why this film won seven golden globe awards and I would not be surprised if this film managed to score an Oscar as well, given its staggering fourteen nominations.…
