Ladies and gentlemen, I am a short girl. In a society where the average Canadian female is 5 feet 4 inches, I fall below average at a whopping 5 feet 1 inch. Personally, I have no problem with my height. It’s a part of who I am, and I’ve learned to embrace it! With that being…
This revelation came to me about two minutes before I started wring this post. That’s right, we’re on our last month until 2017. And because this year has been so unique, I’ve decided to list my highlights of 2016. 1. Olympics: This year’s Olympics in Rio, Brazil, was certainly unlike any that has ever happened…
As much as I am not a fan of starting to celebrate the holidays early, I am an early Christmas shopper. The earlier I’ve made my list, checked it twice and bought all of my gifts, the earlier I can relax and eventually begin to enjoy the season, once its time has arrived of course.…
I previously discussed and hopefully dispelled some of the rumors about climbing, along with briefly touching on the topics of equipment, belay devices, and the different types of climbing. In this blog, I will delve more into the literal part of climbing, so you can see what suits your needs the best. Please be sure the read…
Clowns are meant to be funny but for me they have never been, they’ve always been annoying and unsettling. However, recently they have increased to a level of absolute fright and terror. Why, you might ask? In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months there have been sightings, clown sightings.…
We are living through a series of evolutions- of clothing, of science, of technology, etc… But I have noticed the most discernible change of something in this generation: emojis. That’s right, emojis. Emojis have been around for almost two decades now so it’s a relatively new concept. It’s something that is evolving day and day,…
The other day as I was reading Sean Covey’s book: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (possibly to find an answer to stop procrastinating) and I came across an interesting concept that instantly shifted my view about everything. Covey talks about paradigms. Essentially, a paradigm is your perception about a certain situation or topic.…
Last time, we talked about our Social Mammoth and how the whole Mammoth situation is getting out of hand. We’ll be talking more about our A.V and how we can weaken the Mammoths influence over us and our lives and let our A.V take over. (This is the second part to my first article right here.…
Congratulations everyone! We have survived yet another school year, and as a reward, we have been freed for the summer! And as we shift into the miraculous bliss that is summer, I’d like to take a moment to just remind you all that if you are currently strong and healthy, appreciate it. I feel like…
If you immediately assumed this article to be an advertisement, or perhaps just more internet spam, you would not be entirely wrong. I admit this with some degree of shame; generally, I take great lengths to avoid being the person who is constantly popping up on your Facebook page or Twitter feed, the one you see in…
For my 17th birthday, I got my first job at Dairy Queen. Finally one step closer to taking over the world. Two summers ago, I got my first job interview at Calaway Park, which was outside the city, though it had shuttle bus access. Needless to say, I didn’t get accepted because: I didn’t want to work full…
On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to attend the first performance of Alberta Theatre Projects’ Legend Has it– and on their “Tweet Night,” no less! As a “drama kid,” whipping out my phone in the middle of the show to post about my experience on Twitter felt a little raunchy, and more than a little unorthodox. But “unorthodox” is…
Until last week, eighteen year-old Instagram model Essena O’Neill was the perfect model of what, in her opinion, Instagram and other social media sites are all about: deception, vanity, and competition. With 612 000 followers in tow, she walked through life a slave to her internet popularity; she spent hours trying to find the perfect lighting,…
Walmart is a cheap and easy place to pick up most of your Halloween essentials. I have worn many a Walmart costume when I’ve been a) too cheap or b) too lazy to try to be creative or to do any DIYs. This being said, the big box chain is also the home to some…
It’s a popular belief that art is the best method of expression. With the arising contemporary approaches to art, especially visual art, many artists have created works that are uniquely quirky and relatable. It seems as if the goal of many modern artists is to evoke existential ideas through minimalistic pieces. After [accidentally] exploring Instagram for a couple…
