Enjoy and get into the Christmas spirit! 🙂 “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” Victor Hugo “Holidays are about experiences and people,…
Everyone feels down in the dumps once in a while. It’s normal, but that does not mean it doesn’t take determination or will power to keep moving forward. September, for most, marks the beginning of deadlines, oral presentations, heavy tests, and hours of studying. During these heavy loaded times, remember to always take time aside for…
Dr. Seuss is a genius. I grew up reading his stories and until recently, I don’t ever recall ever reading this. I’m a considerably odd person, but then again, it is impossible to create a standard for “normal.” It’s so interesting to think that in relationships, whether they be between friends, family or significant others,…
After wasting my time in about every way possible, I came across an inspiring and – to be rash – cool website. It’s entitled “Zen Pencils” and it illustrates quotes and interprets them using cartoons. I find the cartoonist’s style to be very unique and I love how they utilize cartoons to voice the meanings…
Many of you have probably heard of the tumblr “teenager posts”. Anyways, I was scrolling through it a little bit ago, and I found this one. At the time, it seemed cute and thoughtful and deep. The more I look at it and read it, the more I start thinking about it. I think this…

(ambigrams – I’m a little obsessed with them…) (there might just be some science behind this one…) (that’s why they don’t let models smile. otherwise you’d be distracted from the clothes. – true story bro.)
Last Friday, I was delighted to talk like babies, make cricket legs dance to music, and get “insider’s tips” from university students at Discovery Days in Medicine by the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame and our own University of Calgary. Though the hands-on activities were great (taking apart a human brain… model, looking at cancerous cells…

YAA: Provide some advice, about life in general or about high school or about discovery of one’s self. Erica: One of the most regretful experiences of my life so far was not doing something.

This incredible triple threat performer allows the creative genius of art, music and life to influence and guide her wholehearted passions for the fine arts to incredible heights. However, this doesn’t prevent this realistic dreamer from compulsively volunteering her time to many things, be it animals, people (young and old) or the environment. I’m extremely proud…

Philosophical observer, but by no means passive, an incredible artist that magically paints and draws the world to her own accord, and a fantastic soprano, sharing her talent by lending her voice to Vocal Jazz and Concert choir, Carmen Khuu’s passionate interests in the Fine Arts could be seen as anything but narrow.

I stumbled across the other day… and for some reason it really stuck with me. It is a painting done by Andre Jordan, titled Extraordinary Mind. If this catches your interest, you can check out the rest of his work on his website. I actually own his book, Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, although I’m…
