2011 brought us Occupy Wall Street, a royal marriage and the death of Osama Bin Laden. However, a less mentioned medium of media has surged and blossomed in the past decade: YouTube. As the population rose and earthquakes struck, YouTube users submitted a plethora of what may be the best videos of the year. A…
2011 was one of the greatest years for the alternative music scene… at least, I think so! And if others disagree, then I will gladly re-word to: 2011 was one of the greatest years for my personal music library. The following will be my own chart for the top ten alternative albums that I’ve listened…
Simon and Martina, Canadian English-teachers-turned-power-vloggers in South Korea, bring you the best of Kpop 2011: (oh, and don’t forget their Dragon-Dog, the Spudgy) To be quite honest, I was a little disappointed with this year’s video. For one thing, it had much less dancing than last year’s. But eatyourkimchi is forever ridiculous and bring a unique perspective…
Here comes the end of another year, bringing about new beginnings of 2012 – including celebrations (fireworks!), the write-up of New Year’s resolutions, and exciting events to look forward to. Let us commemorate those we lost in 2011 and how far we’ve come as a group:
Over the last several months, I’ve seen YAA grow tremendously, and now, I can look back at 2,000 (!!!) posts on virtually any topic imaginable – the arts, news, philosophy, photography, religion, school, science, technology, random stuff; you name it.
Boxing Day used to be about filling up boxes with gifts and money for servants and tradespeople. Nowadays, some still follow the original tradition by providing gifts for children living in poverty and to less fortunate families. However, most of us – tens of thousands of us – are waking up at 7 a.m.…
So here we are, approaching the beginning of the end. The beginning of the end of another year. 2011. When we reminisce the past, it seems as though time has flown by too fast for our liking. Where did those times go? How did it go by so quickly? It makes us realize that memories…
Here are some of the best photos of 2011 from National Geographic: Camel Thorn Trees, Namibia Photograph by Frans Lanting, National Geographic Tinted orange by the morning sun, a soaring dune is the backdrop for the hulks of camel thorn trees in Namib-Naukluft Park.

Do not think of blood red poppies, Do not think of forlorn crosses, Do not think of crying larks, Do not think of quarrelling foe. Think of those who gave up life, Think of those who dared death, Think of those husbands, sons and lovers lost, Think of those last hugs, goodbyes and kisses…
So we’ve all had our fun: the late nights, movie marathons, endless hours of video games, eating ice cream for all three meals of the day, vacationing, and best of all, no work! But unfortunately, summer is now at an end, which in turns means the beginning of a new school year. But it doesn’t…
Well, OK, so London Bridge itself isn’t actually falling down, but the rest of the city, along with various others in the United Kingdom, are alight with burning buildings and cars, as the citizens of the country riot. How did this all start? On Aug. 4, London police shot Mark Duggan – an alleged crack…
Fries, gravy, cheese… and then some lamb, red onion, tomatoes and feta?! Heaven’s calling!
Bacon on a stick – pretty awesome, right? It’s a thick cut piece of bacon, both crispy and juicy.
The Turkeytini sounds like it could be a concoction of alcohol and turkey, but thankfully it’s not.
The Kubie Kornballs are little balls of well, “korn.” Don’t take it literally, they aren’t balls made out of a metal rock band.
