For thousands of years, mankind has stared up into the heavens and seen the stars. Now the dream of reaching them has never been closer. To say that we should halt our operations here, when we have so much more potential, would be preposterous. The space program has achieved things that we had never seen…
Implications of a well-accepted system
Poetry is weird. I’m not going to lie, I barely understand any poetry that I read. I either take the meaning way too literally, or not literally enough. To make matters even worse, poems are often very hard to write, and every Language Arts class from grade 1 – 12 requires that students read and…
I love tea. Lately, I’ve probably been drinking too much. But hey, when you plan on cramming a large writing assignment in one 6:00 p.m. – 4:00 a.m. session, you don’t have much choice- it’s either tea or coffee, and we all know which is the better choice. (#teaftw) Disclaimer: please don’t judge me, I’m…
It’s horrifying that this issue, happening now, is getting little to no attention. Spread awareness.

A tropical or subtropical climate is required for its cultivation. There are thousands of different varieties of tea. The Camellia sinensis may…
The holiday season is right around the corner and with that comes, naturally, Christmas music! Besides your usual Christmas carols and songs, here are a few unorthodox Christmas songs that will be sure to brighten your mood this holiday season (in no particular order): “Dominick the Donkey” by Lou Monte The song describes Dominick, who…
I love tea. Mostly, I drink green tea. Strong. No sugar, please. I’m also quite fond of milk teas, but less on the milky side and definitely no sugar- I’m more about that strong tea flavour. And then of course, there’s bubble tea. Actually, I’m too fond of bubble tea, but I always manage to…
Concerts. An exhilarating experience that evokes a unique rush of excitement and joy, yet also a laborious and draining challenge. My first concert experience was during Stampede 2014 at the Coca-Cola stage, eagerly waiting for A Great Big World. We didn’t know any songs by them other than “Say Something“, but we still decided to wait…
