It is no question that getting an education after high school is expensive, but has it become so expensive that students are unable to afford the luxury of a degree.

I went to Vancouver in the Summer and fooled around with my camera! I finally got around to editing the footage and putting an actual vlog together. I hope you enjoy!! A little piece of my summer to you, to fight these November blues. Featured Image https://youtu.be/1BDsrO_XLAQ
here are bands, and then there are bands. You know, the ones that understand you and are your go-to for a musical pick-me-up? Yeah, those bands. Once in a blue moon, even, those bands perform in your city during their tour. And that’s how it all starts. The 1975 is an English rock/synth-pop/indie/alternative band that…
With the ability to write about a wide range of topics, Dhriti is certainly a refreshing and bright personality to have on YAA. I had the utmost pleasure of meeting with her at Vendome Cafe and chatting over our salads, meat pie, and sandwich. Very eloquent and thoughtful when she speaks, it felt easy taking…
The other day as I was reading Sean Covey’s book: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens (possibly to find an answer to stop procrastinating) and I came across an interesting concept that instantly shifted my view about everything. Covey talks about paradigms. Essentially, a paradigm is your perception about a certain situation or topic.…

Canada is known for the freedom, diversity and democracy we possess. What would happen if we took away a basic right to a new citizen of the country? It is in the constitution as one of the basic rights Canadians have; the ability to live and move anywhere the person chooses within the country. Our…
ear Senior Me, If there was one person who fell into the “grade-11-is-the-hardest-year” trap, it was undoubtedly you. Though procrastination, taking on too many things at once, and not using time wisely are seemingly the qualities of any high school student, as the year dragged on, you became the poster child for it. It didn’t…
After a summer full of adventures and memories, what could serve as better icing on the cake than a week-long getaway from the city? For bloggers Hui Wen and Richard, along with myself, it’s safe to say that the next item in our summer itinerary has us sitting on the edge of our seats. All three of us are heading…
After months and months of talks to do so, fellow editor Danielle and I finally braved (mild) embarrassment and fear of the unknown and, braced with a selfie stick and iPhone (64GB — bless up), conquered 4 street to bring you all a vlog of the cool places we saw. Despite having attended school a few blocks…
I’ve had several moments this summer where I came to the sudden realization that in three months, I will begin the life-changing and convoluted procedure of applying for post-secondaries and scholarships. While that is an exciting step of everyone’s life; the freedom of university, the new people you’ll meet, it is also a daunting one. This is…
I’ve lived in Calgary my entire life. Same neighbourhood, same street, same house. The furthest I’ve ever moved is into what used to be our guest room. As a result of this, I have (regrettably) become so used to the idea of the little Calgary that I know that I often forget that there’s so…

It’s that time of year again: time to break my efforts at maintaining a healthy summer lifestyle for the Calgary Stampede’s crazy foods. This past Friday marked my first vegetarian Stampede and it was definitely quite a challenge to watch my friends eat award-winning BBQ ribs; even walking down the section of the park with all…
