When we consider contemporary art, most of us imagine to the likes of Pollock or Warhol, anything that invokes a sense of “oh, that’s modern art.” But what is our perception of modern art? Basically, anything that we can’t describe. Campbell soup can certainly draw contrasts with Van Gogh’s pieces, but if anything, there is…
Often referred to as the “world’s oldest profession,” prostitution has existed in society for thousands of years. In recent years, many countries have decriminalized sex-work in an attempt to improve the health and safety of prostitutes. Since 2014, Canada has legalized the selling of sex, but criminalized the purchasing or “obtain[ing] for consideration… the sexual services…
Recently, I was lucky enough to head to Europe for the summer vacation of my dreams. From Paris to Milan, we covered 5 cities in 14 days, and I learned a lot, took in the sights, and had a fantastic time! Eiffel Tower as seen at night As with any vacation, we had our fair…
Travelling is by far one of my favourite things in the world. I recently returned from a trip to France and Switzerland and despite being confident in my own abilities to adapt to wherever I find myself, there are still some differences between the metropoles of Paris and Geneva and my hometown of Calgary that…

Earlier this month, Arts & Culture editor Hui Wen and I had the incredible opportunity to spend 10 days living in Denmark as part of a student exchange program. It was a transformative experience that I can’t recommend highly enough. Especially as a youth, travel can be such an eye-opening experience. There are so many reasons…
While sitting on the boardwalk right over the ocean in Barcelona, I realized that I was no longer the same girl that was at the airport just two weeks ago waiting in line to pass through customs. I was different, I was more mature, I was alive and most of all I was immersed by…
Over the past few days I’ve gotten the chance to attend some classes here at Støvring Gymnasium and have definitely come to realize the major differences in the education systems of Canada and Denmark. It definitely does take very much explaination and comparison, something I will dedicate an entire blog post to once I am…
After a very jet lagged first day, a full day of travel with a great night’s sleep was so wonderful. Our day began at 8:00am when we had a Danish breakfast at the hotel and proceeded to see the famous Little Mermaid statue, a homage to the famous fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen.

The stress of impending IB exams has convinced me to share my obsession of London, England. Here comes the onslaught… Enjoy!
