I have struggled with poor eyesight for most of my life. Like I mean above -6 kind of struggle. For those of you who don’t have glasses, my prescription is basically how you assume most people with glasses see. In other words, without my glasses, no, I cannot see what that sign says and, no,…
So… you just got invited to interview for a job you really want to get into. If it goes well and you answer the questions confidently, you could sell yourself to the employer as the perfect person for the job. But if you have no idea how to answer, you could lose a huge opportunity.…
Showing your gratitude isn’t a life-consuming chore. It only takes minimal time and effort to say “please”, “thank you”, “I appreciate it”, and “have a nice day”. However, it’s these seemingly insignificant words that have sparked my gratitude time and time again. Working for Work’s Sake Imagine this: you’re doing a project you love: making…
Improving my vocabulary has been a goal of mine over the summer – especially since vocabulary is a very important skill that can be useful in all areas of communication. For example, knowing a broader width of vocabulary can help you express your thoughts in a clearer and more succinct manner. So, because of all…
It’s undeniable that the infamous COVID-19 has left us all disequilibrated. With uncertainty tainting practically everything around us, it took a while but many of us got used to the “unprecedented/uncertain times”. A roll out of bed to class or work seemed perpetual. But now, the month of July felt like a Band-Aid was ripped…
Two days ago, I went out of town with my family to see the canola fields. We do this on every year, but we would usually go at the end of August, when most of the yellow flowers have finished blooming. This year, however, we didn’t make the same mistake again and went during the…
The days succeeding a major sporting event are usually filled with celebration. However, the aftermath of the Euro 2020 tournament was far more unpleasant. Throughout the tournament, England’s success had its fans repeatedly using the phrase “It’s coming home.” And when they reached the finals of the tournament, it seemed as though their dream would…
Hey y’all, even though we’re still in the middle of summer, the good grade 11 student that I am has come to a realization. We are going to have to write the english diploma. So since we have some time during the summer, maybe we can watch some of the suggested movies to utilize in…
Hey everyone! I recently got back from a quick trip to Vancouver and now I can confidently say that I understand why it’s such a popular city. Everything from its landscape to its diverse communities makes Vancouver such a great vacation spot. One highlight from my trip and almost all of my trips in…
Yardy know what’s up. Enjoy! I might as well admit looks like we have gotten a bit off topic from the whole summer tweets. But hey, at least this post was educational. Not really but thanks for reading. Take care, teddy bear Ranya Sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
In April, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau raised Canada’s 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target to 40–45%. That means over the next nine years, Canada will have to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to meet only 55–60% of the emissions levels measured in 2005. This all sounds great. But compared to other G7 countries, whose leaders met…
If you’re anything like me, you probably love things like organizing, bullet journals, and planners, allow me to introduce you to (drum roll please) Notion. Notion is the solution to your productivity. It is the all-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases. It’s a web-based application that can also be used as an application…
In the beginning of July we are officially moving to the stage 3 reopening phase, which means we can do a few more things to enjoy our summer this year! Because of this I have put together a list of places in Calgary that you can visit. Most of these are outside activities but I…
Sometimes I think about life, and I wonder a couple of things. I wonder about the expectations we set for ourselves and I wonder about the life we have in a more satirical sense. At the beginning of last year, whilst everyone was baking sourdough break and making whipped coffee, I was learning how to…
