Preface I should say that I am in no way against Liberalism and any schools of thought associated with general modern Liberalism. A comparison could be made between schools of thought and physics is that there is a dichotomy between the classic approach and the modern approach. In physics, the classic approach is the Newtonian style…
(Don’t mind the fact that I sound like a beauty guru) Summer’s only half way past, but it’s given me enough time to try out some new things that have quickly earned a spot on my favourites list. The month of July for me had been a pretty busy month, I always had something to…
Goodbye, farvel, au revoir, 再见! The past couple of weeks have been one farewell after another, and after delaying this one for as a long as I can, it’s time for me to say bye-bye to this wonderful community that so readily accepted a junior high girl back in 2014 when she decided to explore her interest…
Trust me, you definitely do not know all 10…
While most of you were enjoying the celebrations around the city during Canada Day weekend, I was enjoying my time volunteering and checking out the events at Otafest 2017. In case you aren’t familiar, Otafest is an annual anime/gaming convention that has been running since 1999. Although it was first held at the University of…
I didn’t know that two years ago, when I was a little bundle of nerves on the first day of Grade 7, I was in for one of the sweetest treats of my life so far: Late French Immersion. Now looking back on these past years, I can’t believe that they’re finished and I came…
Volunteering is a powerful experience. Give a little time; get a whole lot out of it. You can learn so much by serving the world around you, and you can quite literally find yourself in this maze of a world that labels us. I’ve made so many amazing connections, and met such inspirational people along…
Recently (April actually), I went on a trip to Quebec (Ottawa and Montreal) with my school! And realising how much I love to watch travel vlogs, I decided to make one so I could share my trip with you guys! There isn’t any speaking in this because I hate hearing my recorded voice, so this…
What food type are you? You’re more complex than four letters, and five questions. Love yourself. This quiz is made purely for childish enjoyment. What are you like at school? a. You don’t mind people around you, but you still love your alone time. You have one or two close friends, and you don’t open…
If you find your mind dwelling too long on something, you’ve definitely experienced these struggles in your social circles and at school. With the school year winding down for two more months, let us reminisce about all of these experiences that we have faced during the school year: 1. Your friends have gotten used to…
At this confusing, yet fascinating stage of our lives, we fail to place value on the aspects of life that truly matter. At sixteen years of life, that is over 834 weeks, or 5, 840 days, or 140, 160 hours, I am still unable to control my emotions wholly, to push all negativity out of…
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…
Is it that we can’t help it? Or perhaps an unconscious spoken decision? Whatever the case, it’s well known that we humans make excuses – all of us. Now, I don’t mean to frame this in an accusing way as not all excuses are harmful. In fact, some excuses are reasons to make us motivated.…
I’m exhausted. I mean, we all are, with school coming to an end and all of us being swamped with final exams. But what better way to wallow away our pain than with music? This year has done wonders for us in terms of music, and I’ve put some of the best tracks from this…
