Top ten items under $100 that will drastically increase your quality of life
1. Library Card This one should be obvious, but for some reason I still see individuals who do not like to associate with library books due to some sort of imaginary social stigma. Honestly, a wealth of information and wonder and your fingertips, you don’t realize how important it is until it’s gone. Nowadays, the…
Website of the Day: TheRainforestSite.com
Today, I want to introduce you to the wonder of the Web, in a hopefully novel way: online philanthropy. In this field, one website in particular dominates, and that’s TheRainforestSite.com.

Outfit of the Day: Gloomy Summer Days
This is my outfit for those summer days that aren’t so sunny. I did this by layering with a knit cardigan, while keeping my outfit light with a lace top. I also wore skinny jeans, and my black canvas TOMS to achieve this outfit.
How to enjoy your summer outdoors
Well. For many of us, it’s officially the last week of school. Report cards are being handed out, exams are (finally!!!) ending, and we’re starting to really think about how we’ll fill our time during summer, the best season of all.

One short weekend in Calgary, one giant step for Calgarians
This weekend, I volunteered with Youth Volunteer Corps for two amazing projects. First, I helped with building a playground at Prominence Park at Patterson (no alliteration intended) and second, I helped with the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer at Spruce Meadows.

I hope that by now we’ve pretty much decided on how to spend the summer. Some of us will be working, some travelling, some just hanging out and seeing their friends, and some going to summer school (sadly, I am one of those people). But if you still have no idea, have no fear! There…
Starbucks lingo – not just for rocket scientists
When it comes to me ordering a drink from Starbucks, the menu might as well be written in Greek. Honestly, when people order, I always think to myself – “you want a tall, non-fat, no foam, whipped cream topped, caramel drizzled what?” – and the barista doesn’t even bat an eyelash. The other day, I…
A summer love of volunteering
Now that the school year is coming to an end for youth volunteers all around the city, it’s time to start planning how to spend these next two lazy months. Many students are booked up with vacations and summer jobs, but the nicer weather doesn’t mean that volunteer opportunities are slowing down. Those who volunteer…
So simple, even an idiot can use it!
I don’t mean to insult anyone here, I’m just talking about your [below] average student who never takes notes because they think they’re cool like that.
