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…
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.…
1. World’s most expensive hyphen: NASA In 1962, NASA prepared to launch the Mariner 1, America’s first interplanetary probe. The mission was meant to get a close up image of Venus. The absence of a single hyphen in the coding of this probe made the mission blast off – into pieces. The dashed mistake cost…

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Toronto to compete in the Southern Ontario Model United Nations Assembly (SOMA)! I was among 20 excited students on our Model UN team who departed for Toronto on Tuesday morning and tiredly returned to Calgary on Saturday evening. I wasn’t expecting to learn much from…

The office is one of those shows where nothing really out of the ordinary happens but it’s still very addicting. Admittedly, the premise sounds excruciatingly boring, it’s about people working in an office that sells paper. And somehow, it is still so entertaining.
