Bookmark free reading: I have a few patience problems, especially with those long books. Considering my self-diagnosed lack of attention span, I can’t concentrate on complicated texts…
You may or may not be right, but (cliche as it sounds -) you’ll never know if you don’t try. (And just because you don’t look good in a dainty little tutu doesn’t mean you can’t become an incredible break dancer. Those are two totally different worlds.) I’ve always admired b-boys/b-girls who can break into…

Personally, I found Graduation to be a little expensive (which is why my friends and I had a delicious dinner at Bolero instead of a $70 banquet), especially for girls. I know dressing up is super important, paying for make-up, the dress and flowers/decorations. So to help you save some money, your local library has…
Go see a FREE OUTDOOR FILM screening on the rooftop of the Alexander Calhoun Library! Raging human atrocities and massacres ravaged the African country of Liberia. This savage civil war knew no boundaries- villages were pillaged by child soldiers, innocent civilians were targeted by the rebels and government alike and terror trapped many fearful persons…
Have you ever been reading a book or sitting in English class when you come across a word that you don’t know? Personally, I’m a little OCD when it comes to my vocabulary, and am always trying to keep it as arrant as possible.
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,…

Like, forever and ever and ever and even until after you’re dead! With several modes like Capture the Flag and Capture the Point, TF2…
Have you ever wanted to listen to the awesomeness that is the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, but wasn’t able to see them due to some odd reason? Perhaps you didn’t have extra cash on you at the time of ticket sales, or the performance times were too inconvenient and the location was too far from your…

Hosted by Sony, this music exposé is full of bands you have never heard of before, but may really enjoy!…
Have you ever played a game and wanted to message your friend at the same time? Did you ever want to log on MSN but didn’t want to minimize your game screen? Well, have no fears, Steam is here! Okay I admit, that was a lameduction intro. But I needed to get your attention! So…

Last Sunday was the 2nd annual Haultain and First Street Festival! Filled with fun for all ages, the festival started last year as a celebration of the completion of Haultain Park – a seven year project. Last year was a blast, and this year was no different. Although it is still technically summer, it seems…
