“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” – Aristotle Have you ever wanted to draw or create something but couldn’t figure out what, or don’t have the confidence to do it? No one has to be a talented artist to be creative. All one has to…

You know what’s better than surfing the online web (and it’s hard to believe that something out there is)? For a shutterbug like me, it’s catching a picture of a real, live, spider web. They’re rather elusive phenomenons and aren’t keen on being caught on film.
Most of us are guilty of playing this supposedly harmless game with our friends; I like to call the game “Rate.” It’s simply when you go through the people you know and rate their looks on a scale from 1-10. I don’t know why people find this entertaining, but we do. It’s interesting to see…

Hello summoners! New to the game? Have no fear! Understanding LoL is a series of posts that I will create in the next few weeks talking about small aspects of the game rather than mechanics. This includes champions or items to buy. Today, we’re talking about which champions to play FOR BEGINNERS. These champions require…

“Volunteer and you get to record these for CAS hours!” or “Volunteer and you get to put it on your resume.” or even worse, “Volunteer because you get free food!” All these offers make ‘volunteering’ sound like a deal of some kind!

Being a teenager is hard, even being a human is hard! You get pushed by media so much to be perfect and skinny, but there is never enough push to be happy. No one will ever be 100% confident with themselves and no one will ever love themselves 100% and that’s a fact. Sometimes it’s…

On the summit of the Whistler mountain lies an inukshuk, a stone figure so representative of the Inuit. A timelapse from Sherpas Cinema captured its prominence in an ever-changing environment – Watch all the other timelapses that I’ve shared with you guys here. Do enjoy as usual. 🙂
DetailsTo keep myself busy throughout the summer, I often turn to a familiar and reliable companion: music. These are 3 artists/bands whose songs I’ve constantly re-played this month, as I can’t seem to get enough of their beautiful music: 1. The Neighbourhood This California-based band caught its big break this year, and it was well-deserved.…

I first came across the Calgary Fringe Festival in a magazine and truth be told, I wasn’t immediately interested in it. However, after a few days, I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try and applied to be a volunteer (the volunteer sign-up process was online and easily accessible). As this was…

I was out getting groceries with my mother at Co-op the other day; this is where we had a “produce revelation.” For years we have been purchasing this seemingly unknown squash. It is not attractive in nature, with its uneven and cumbersome skin and off-putting forest green color. Let’s just say that we seem to…

Now that summer is almost over, all the fall/winter clothes are stacking up in the stores, and you look everywhere but you just can’t find that perfect knot headband that makes you look so much cuter in the -30 degrees weather and keep your ears…

I have asked myself this question multiple times unable to really find the answer….does forgiving mean forgetting everything? Does forgiving someone make their behaviours okay? If I forgive someone does it mean that I am not standing by what I believe in? Will I have to go back to stage one? Whether it is with…

It seems Russian law has not been too supportive of homosexuality in the past. In fact, until 1999, homosexuality was considered a mental disorder in Russia’s list of mental illnesses. With the recent ban on ‘homosexual propaganda’, the Russian…
