I’m a DJ and these guys put me to shame…
For those of you who aren’t in University, this is still applicable to you! CampusPerks aims to fuel student life on campuses across Canada (yay!). They create challenges to help students unlock rewards (or get funding), which in turn gives them kudos that allow them to donate to and support student-led projects of their choice.…
Six months from now, Calgary might just experience the best Youth Week its ever had. Why? Because planning has already began with the five Youth Week ambassadors. Our very own Youth Are Awesome Steering Committee as well as the Mayor’s Youth Council are collaborating on this event to make it truly spectacular. That means over…
If you have been following the news lately, you will probably have heard of a new phenomenon spreading across the globe by the name of Occupy Wall Street (OWS). Originally organized by a Canadian group known as Adbusters, the protests have spread from New York to various other cities in the US along with China,…
I really don’t get it. Sure, a movie can have a horrible plot, and all the same, be fun to watch (even just to jeer at). If this weren’t true, why would the Twilight series have so much box office success? Badum ting! (Pantomime drum and crash cymbal)
Grade 12 is an exciting year. In the somewhat distant future, a grandiose celebration of achievements is ahead, but that only comes after one last year of hard work.

I literally screamed when I found out I had the opportunity to see Avril Lavigne in concert! Seriously. I grew up listening to her classics such as “Sk8ter Boi” and “Complicated.” And I know you guys did too, as every one of my friends went through that “Avril Lavigne phase” in life. Also this being my…
This summer I volunteered at the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association and we painted murals to go up around the community with the help of many of the children from summer camp. After two months of hard work the murals were finally put up late last month. The aim of these murals is both to…
This video is a pretty fun and creative representative of some major events in world history utulizing frame by frame animation (note: some creative license may have been taken). It’s a final project for a course, spanning 2,100 flipbook pages, and took around three weeks to build. The result is something that could definitely be…
As Grade 12 is upon many of us this year, it’s time to start thinking about taking action on universities and finding ways to help pay for it. Even if you’re not in Grade 12 yet (or if you think you aren’t eligible for any awards), there are still plenty of opportunities to land scholarships!…
Forgive the somewhat lame pun, but for all you tea drinkers out there, consider making – yes, making – your own tea from dandelion leaves!
I’m sure all you have a dream. A dream of changing the world, a dream of becoming famous, a dream that you will never give up on. This is my dream. I love to write poems and songs. Here is a poem that explains my dream. It’s an example of our society- our youth, our…
