The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
17th birthdays aren’t that exciting, which I now know. At 16 you can finally drive, 18 you’re legal but 17 is this awkward year where you’re not quite an adult but also don’t qualify as a kid anymore. There are expectations set out as you prepare for adulthood and for some who are graduating like…
A little while ago, I was watching Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire and couldn’t help but notice something that struck me as interesting. The robes that the Death Eaters are wearing during the attack at the Quidditch World Cup are eerily similar in design to the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan’s robes. It…
This is something you’ve probably seen all over the internet. Where people either play with slime or mix paint or cut kinetic sand. (x x x) Those things are made to satisfy people and make them feel good, just like how these pictures make you feel good: (x) Like this jar of untouched peanut butter: (x) And this…
The towering fear has come and has gripped all of our hearts in suspense, making it terribly hard for us to sleep at night because of morbid attacks of insomnia, and sends shudders down our spines whenever we catch our teacher looking at us. Yes, it has come, my friends, and it is one and…
It is as easy as you think.
Nothing to do before semester two starts? Go and find out what’s fun and awesome to do in the city!!
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.…
Before it’s declared too late to speak about anything that happened in 2016, I wanted to give my opinion on the movies of last year. 2016 was a terrible year filled with great movies, but here are a couple of my all time favourites. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children (source!) …
To most violinists, buying a violin made by Stradivari, Guarneri, Guadagnini, or Amati is an absolute dream. To luthiers, producing an instrument to the likes of those great makers is a life-long venture. And Joseph Nagyvary made that venture a little bit easier. Joseph Nagyvary was a chemist. Born in 1934 in Szeged, Hungary, he…
The office is one of those shows where nothing really out of the ordinary happens but it’s still very addicting. Admittedly, the premise sounds excruciatingly boring, it’s about people working in an office that sells paper. And somehow, it is still so entertaining. Truthfully, the first two episodes were hard to get through but after…
There’s nothing like cozying up with a hot beverage (or cold), a fluffy blanket, and a good book — unless you can’t find the latter — then things start to go downhill. So today, I’ve decided to make a list of my go-to books when my current read doesn’t satisfy me. East of Eden, by,…
You read that correctly… I want to explain my tips and tricks for being a good night owl and how I optimize the later hours of the evening. For many years I have felt pressured to be an early riser and I can definitely see the validity in waking up early and going to…
The finale of Sherlock’s fourth season is a huge collection of events that all feed into one thing: Sherlock’s character development. *Spoilers to follow*
I discovered American poet Nash Consing purely by chance. Scrolling through my Instagram feed on a late May evening nearly two years ago, I came across a collaboration between Nash and fellow Instagram poet, Alexa (@ar_poems). I subsequently followed Consing’s account, and perhaps it was the mix of writing and aesthetics that drew me in…
Ever since I started playing piano as a child, music has become an integral part of my life. Throughout the years, I’ve picked up guitar, violin, clarinet, and saxophone. To this day, music remains one of my passions, and as horribly cringe-worthy and cliché as it sounds, I honestly don’t know what I would do…
