{Source} The month went by so fast that I’m not sure it even happened. But what I do vividly remember was being blogger of the month! Thank you to YAA for the HUGE honor! However, with the panic of exams settling in and the further panic of planning what to do over the summer, I had…

Very few people want to admit it once they reach their teens, but deep down there’s no denying it. Basically everyone passed through a Disney phase, at least once. Personally, one of my favourite shows was the Jonas Brothers. I loved the music they made as a band and was one of the disappointed fans when the band broke up. …
{Source} For two weeks now, my life has been off-kilter. Whether it be physically, emotionally or mentally, everything feels weird. As much as I’ve tried to brush it off, there seems to be no way around it. So if you’ve been feeling off recently or something/someone is giving you a hard time, you’re not alone! We…

Having those Friday short days are great. But what do you do with the extra hours? I’m always keeping myself entertained by scrolling on my Facebook page. During one of my scrolling sessions, I came across a sponsored post on Serena Williams. Check out this video! Serena’s 7/11 Video Launching herself to a whole new…
I recently only discovered the TV series world about this time last year in grade 9. Now in grade 10, taking advanced programs and with homework to complement the courses, how do I create time for series? It’s simple, I can’t go back to a life without them. Gossip Girl was the starter for me,…
{Source} April, for me, has so far been the most hectic month of the year. With more homework & tests than I could have imagined, taking on extra-curricular activities, and having weekly volunteer commitments, where do I find time to relax? The answer is: music, reading, and naps. I’ve found that putting those 3 together…
As humans we’ve developed over the span of centuries; from hunters and gatherers, to farmers, to capitalists. During the SOMA conference, I heard a professor of Anthropology speak on his wish for mankind to return to the era of hunting and gathering. However, I don’t necessarily find myself sharing this wish. Although hunting and gathering comes with…
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…

People want money, the latest games, new clothes. They are of the opinion that material things make an individual happy,…
“The mind is so delicate, and has so much potential. In high school I find we’re bombarded by so much extraneous information that it can often blind the young mind and lead us to interpret our lives less intricately than it should be interpreted. It’s sad to see so many young people get so caught…

I remember my first day in a sex ed class. It was weird. It was unsettling and it was definitely very, very awkward. A room full of fourth graders learning about the…wait for it…opposite gender (*gasp/scream/horror*). I went to a girls’ school so my experience with learning about puberty and all the fabulous things that…
