{Original Image} Huzzah! Let them kingdom rejoice, for I have figured out how to make the pictures non-blurry so you can all enjoy the wonderful discoveries I’ve made on my Pinterest adventures. Now, I will take a moment to apologize for not publishing a weekly Pinterest inspiration post last week. It was a terribly stressful…
As we all know, summer is arriving! Many of us will be busy with all kinds of different things, from visiting your relatives overseas, to just sitting down and watching TV. Today, I will look at some of the great things you can do to make excellent use of your summer time. 1. Relax For…
You’ve worked hard all year (or not worked at all) and now, graduation season is approaching. From the end of May to June, most high schools will be having graduation ceremonies to celebrate the achievements of their Grade 12 students. Whether graduation signals the end of school torture, or the beginning of success, it is a time…
Summer is nearing. We feel anticipation in the warming weather. The mornings are earlier and the nights are later. There are many great features of summer, particularly the “eat, sleep, and play” motto of summer vacation. With only a month and a half left of high school before summer starts, I am feeling a combination of sluggishness…
Today, I thought I’d share four things that I absolutely despise… 1. When a person can’t whisper I find it extremely annoying when I come across someone who just doesn’t seem to know how to whisper! The point of whispering is to communicate “classified” information to another person without anyone else hearing. I’ve come across several…
I’m probably not the only one who’s sick and tired of teachers, speakers or whoever else giving the “believe in yourself” and “reach for the stars” speeches. It’s the same thing said time and time again and by the time we hit adolescence, it’s difficult to not want to press the figurative mute button. However,…
The only relevance that picture has to this wonderful topic is that debit machine in the corner. But hey, who doesn’t like a big bucket of candy? Candy is especially relevant to the nature of where I’m working though. After all, I work at ScreamFest! If you don’t know about it, Aaron has a super…
As most of us know, summer gets boring after a while. Want to know how to beat the boredom? Here are some ways to energize yourself this summer. 1. Volunteer with the Calgary Public Library, Youth Volunteer Corps (via Youth Central), City of Calgary Youth Employment Centre or festivals and summer camps around Calgary. 2. Exercise: swim at…
A good chunk of the people reading this right now are probably around the age where the pressure to get a job is building. Or maybe you already have a job and so are keen to read more about the job world. Either way, I thought I’d share my opinions and experiences by comparing non-traditional…
Last Tuesday, the Epcor Centre presented an insightful and enchanting performance called Red. I was with Youth Central, volunteering for the event and had the fortunate opportunity to watch the show live. There was an excited atmosphere and the fans were most definitely anticipating the show! I know I was! SPOILER ALERT – Stop reading…
So you’ve got all these blog posts and news coverage to give you a look at the fair in previous years, but are you prepared for the opportunities this event is going to throw at you? I hope so. 🙂 While this year the City of Calgary’s Youth Employment Center will be hosting the 15th Annual Summer Youth Hiring…
The demanding schedule and stressful workload that comes hand in hand with school is officially upon us. Getting home and feeling too tired to move – been there, done that. While it’s definitely a wonderful feeling to satisfy your needs and sleep, many of us just can’t afford to lose so much time. There are…
The holidays bring enough on their own to keep one’s mind and hands occupied for weeks, yet semesters come to a close and exams loom up ahead precisely in unison with the yuletide. For most, this brings a time where mistletoe overhead dangles alongside stress and anxiety. Luckily, with a few key tips in mind…
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.
