If you like cheese pizza, you might question the price of this one. It tastes exactly like any other cheese pizza, except it costs so much more (then again, what doesn’t during the wonderful time at Stampede?)

This weekend I was one of the very fortunate, and excited, Calgarians to go to the Calgary Stampede. But on the down side, I missed the parade this year (summer school). Nonetheless, the Stampede was extremely fun. Except for the fact that I’m now short on money. By a lot. You couldn’t possibly do everything…
Staaaaaaampeeeede! This could be the war cry of Calgary, although it’s certainly more a cry of elation than one of bloody battle. And why not? We’re entitled to our fun, and the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth is without a doubt one of the most fun events in Canada, if not all of North America…
Hmmm… if you say it really slow, it almost sounds like the word naïve. Try it: P-R-O-C-R-A-S-T-I-N-A-T-I-O-N. Procrastination itself is most peoples’ vice, from adults to children. Oh and did I mention STUDENTS? Honestly, the youth of today are especially subject to it and I myself can admit to viewing procrastination as an impending doom.…
I remember that as a kid I went to a field trip to the “Dean House,” a place that is supposedly haunted by ghosts. When I was there though I felt nothing; no drop in temperature, no sudden movements, and definately no sense of anything paranormal. What I believe is the fact that most of…
1. Library Card This one should be obvious, but for some reason I still see individuals who do not like to associate with library books due to some sort of imaginary social stigma. Honestly, a wealth of information and wonder and your fingertips, you don’t realize how important it is until it’s gone. Nowadays, the…
On June 2, a few Calgarians likely became the first travellers aboard a plane to use marijuana legally, via utilizing a vapourizer. This wasn’t your Harold and Kumar’s smoking on the plane. That’s completely different. The four Calgarians were all headed to a conference on medicinal marijuana use. They were not harassed at all by…
Twitter is a fascinating social networking site that has so much to offer. It is far more than just posting a 140 character status (which is in fact called a tweet). You can upload photos, videos, links to other sites, and learn a lot from following different people and organizations. Start out by making your…
So recently, cute quotes have been showing up on my Facebook about stuff that gives people hope. I decided to go check the links out. It was probably the most pleasant surprise I’ve had in a while. It was just so awwww. This is what it did to me: (Haha, no. I don’t have blond hair.…
Today, I want to introduce you to the wonder of the Web, in a hopefully novel way: online philanthropy. In this field, one website in particular dominates, and that’s TheRainforestSite.com. This is a website with a simple little thing – a button – that you can click for free. Now, as fun as clicking a…
I first heard about this book from the Calgary Herald and soon learned about the hype it got in England. Knowing little about the book, other than the fact that half of Europe was going crazy for it, I decided to pick it up and give it a shot. The book is basically a journey through…
This is my outfit for those summer days that aren’t so sunny. I did this by layering with a knit cardigan, while keeping my outfit light with a lace top. I also wore skinny jeans, and my black canvas TOMS to achieve this outfit.
Although it may be extremely nerdy of me to say so, there is nothing better than finishing a life-changing novel and thinking, “Why aren’t we forced to read books like this in English class?” While I agree that “curriculum literature” can sometimes be dry at best, it can be quite effective at opening your mind and expanding your perspective,…
Ah free. I love that word. As most avid gamers probably already know, Valve decided to make Team Fortress 2 free, permanently! Now opting for a microfinance based income source, Valve has indeed released TF2 to the masses on Steam. Link here: www.teamfortress.com TF2 is probably one of the most fun games I’ve ever played,…
