Upon researching my research paper topic for Psychology, “What makes people outgoing?”, I happen to stumble upon fasinating scientific evidence that supports some well known attributes of being adventuerous and outgoing. If ever there were better reasons to volunteer, perhaps reading these studies will inspire you to have a whole new perspective! The result of…
So as you may have noticed (or may not have noticed if you happen to be out of touch with the world), Calgary is currently experiencing some…fantastic weather! Don’t get me wrong, I actually quite like the rain. I mean, what’s not to like? The rain… …creates that damp earth smell (mmm, mother nature)… …leaves…

I’ll admit it; I’m not a good actress. I may be able to hide my feelings sometimes, but to those who know me well…it’s hopeless. Eric, of Eric Conveys An Emotion, on the other hand, has no such problem. He can act happy. He can act sad. He can act done with finals (just think…
I know Poetry month has come to a close, but I still have so many great poems I think you may like. I saw William’s post, and would like to say that Shakespeare does have some diversity in his work, definitely not making it boring. Usually the women he talks about are ‘perfect’ but this…
