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.
Kurios really brought out what it was designed to; it was a cabinet of many curiosities at the hand of a scientist who is trying to bridge the gap between the impossible and the possible, with a few minor, unexpected bumps along the way. Going into the show, I was expecting nothing less than an…
It has been almost a week since I have returned from my homestay experience in Denmark. Readjusting back to normal daily life has been pretty strange and the responsibilities of daily life serves as a grand juxtaposition to traveling. On the last day of the homestay, last Friday, we visited the viking burial site museum…
On Thursday April 16th the 2015 Calgary Expo kicked off and on Sunday April 19th the curtains closed with a round of applause. The expo in Calgary got to share it’s 10th year anniversary, and with what it had in store it’s not a surprise they’re still standing and going strong. The Calgary Expo is…

The Change the Game Project (CTG) is a week full of unique dance camps and battles taking place from August 17-23, 2015. With $60 000 in prize money for every dance category, including house, hip-hop, breaking, and…
{Source} Over the course of 4 years, Instagram has become the most popular social media app in the world. We use the app to happily share our lives and promote our endeavors through pictures. In addition, as the transition from white border pictures to square ones becomes a trend, there is no doubt that we are greatly…
Ever wondered what to do in your free time? I’ve got something better than watching TV. How about catching up on some reading? There is nothing better than getting so attached to a book that it pulls you inside their imaginary or non-fiction world. If you’re looking for a few book suggestions; keep reading and…
The unique thing about our homestay experience is that it is also an exchange opportunity. I feel that the education system in a particular country is very telling in the sense that it shows you what the society values and what the social dynamic between individuals is like. On Wednesday we were given time to work…
All Time Low is by far one of my favourite current bands for more than one reason. First of all, they’re really easy to listen to and are catchy without being obnoxious. Secondly, their sound lies in between pop and something with a heavier sound (they’re technically classified as pop-punk), which suits my taste but is…
It often takes weeks of one’s time and an abundance of talent to create a great Cosplay costume. Some of us aren’t gifted with such talents, nor do we have enough time, possess enough money, or procrastinate until its too late. If you’re affected by any of the last four things, then you are just like me. (You…
For my fellow Albertans, we know that occasionally (well often) the political system can be frustrating. Recently, one of Alberta’s premiers was asked about the financial crisis many Albertans understand the reality of only too well. A comment about ‘looking in the mirror’ set not only Albertans on edge but trended Canada-wide on twitter (#PrenticeblamesAlbertans).…
The battle between the advocates for mental health awareness and the prevalent stigma surrounding the issue has become clearer than ever. I’d just like to take a moment and ask – why the stigma in the first place? While the habit to classify and categorize things is helpful in understanding them… taking the next step means acknowledging the…
Second chances are rare to have, but when given, it’s basically the universe telling you to get your life together and own up to what you know you have to do. Inspired by a true story, my biased towards Al Pacino and his portrayal of the golden boy eagerly claiming his fame with an aging audience, that…
Over the past few days I’ve gotten the chance to attend some classes here at Støvring Gymnasium and have definitely come to realize the major differences in the education systems of Canada and Denmark. It definitely does take very much explaination and comparison, something I will dedicate an entire blog post to once I am…
{Source} As Calgarians impatiently wait for the snow to clear up (permanently), the city can then officially welcome the start of festival season! This time of the year happily brings people from all quadrants to celebrate the lively culture Calgary has to offer. Having gone to a fair share of festivals myself, there is no…
As many of us know, the Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner! Hockey fans around the world are getting ready for 2 months of sheer joy. But before the playoffs begin, eight teams from both the eastern and western conference must qualify. This week I will be looking at the western conference, and…
