Podcasts have been gaining popularity due to the pandemic, and lately, I’ve been hooked. Whenever I need to get ready, clean around the house, or if I’m just chilling on the couch, I like to throw on one of my saved podcasts. I like to listen to a variety of different types, mainly because what…
“Good books don’t give up all their secrets at once.”-Stephen King. Never the wiser, I’d say. Mystery is one of the best yet most complicated genres out there in terms of novels. A good one can keep you so absorbed that you don’t notice three hours have flown by. A bad one, on the other…
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir can only be described as completely baffling. Known within its (extensive, as in ostensibly millions strong) fandom as Miraculous Ladybug, Miraculous, or simply MLB, it’s a French 3D animated show aimed primarily at a middle grade audience (kids ages 7-12) about two superheroes and, eventually, their classmates and…
July’s blogs have largely been focused on book lists already. Though I am a little late to the show, I’d nonetheless love to feature the series that I have been reading this summer: Throne of Glass. There are eight books in total, and I am currently on the seventh one. I am not usually the…
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…
With the summer break finally here, we may be reveling in the freedom of not having to read books, specifically classics, for our English courses. While the arduous task of having to write analytical essays on these types of books, and their sometimes archaic language, might make them seem less appealing, I firmly believe classics…
15 Years ago I was like, 5 months old.. dang bruh. Let’s Get to the Point: Exactly what the title implies. Hey guys, I’m back with one of my legendary finds. Today I present Radio Garden. Yes, you read that right. “Radio Garden” (angel halos and pixie dust and other magical things floating in the…
Once again, most of the Calgary student population is back to online school. I usually lose a lot of motivation at home, and it is very easy to feel down about yourself. That is why I want to share some of my favorite self-help books that I have, currently am, or want to read in…
Heyyy! I’m back with some essential teen movie recommendations that you NEED to watch before graduating high school. I’ve included a sentence-long description of each and of course, the rating 🙂 Ferris Bueller’s Day Off He fakes being sick (and succeeds) HOW?? but the hype is real..this guys a PG-13 The Breakfast Club Y’all remember…
Hey all, I’m back with some of my new favourite horror movies, just in time for the last few days until the horrors of school come back (no pun intended, but intended). They may not be suitable for all viewing ages (sorry kiddos), but I do have film ratings beside each film. Most are available…

This month’s blog will include new topics such as location of the month and project of the month. Hope you enjoy! LOCATION OF THE MONTH Estelle – Saskatoon Farm Saskatoon Farm…
Hungry? How ’bout a Meal in a Mug! The idea of having to prepare a meal that will inevitably take longer to make than to eat always bugged me to no end. That’s where mug meals come in. I make these more often than I would like to admit and have become somewhat of a…
Last week, I stopped by the Glenbow Museum to see their newest exhibit, Vivian Maier: In Her Own Hands. The installation, besides being beautiful, was insightful into the modest life of a brilliant and largely undiscovered film photographer and the time period that made her ‘observational photos’ so moving. Vivian Maier was a nanny with a…
Christmas holidays never fail to excite me, but I also dread awkwardly following my parents around during family dinners. If you are an individual like me, who enjoys reading novels with dystopian settings or who just enjoys the works of George Orwell in general, I would highly recommend reading “1984” by George Orwell during the…
What is it about? This TV show centres around a character name Eleanor Shellstrop and her experiences in the afterlife. She ends up in the Good Place (a place like heaven) however, she feels surprised yet happy that she ended up there. During her life, she believed that she would end up in the Bad…
