What You’ve Missed During the Holidays
First off, I’d like to say that I’m writing this article with much regret, and that is regret that we’re going back to school so soon. Although I was working as a slave for my part-time retail job, I did enjoy the few sleep ins I had and the spare time I had to catch...

Movember
Alright ladies, say goodbye to kissing your men for the month, because it’s going to come with a price, and a prickly one. Hopefully, as you’ve been walking around the campus, you’ve been spotting something different that’s been walking around and walking proud. I’m talking moustaches people. Whether it’s the original or the handlebars, they’re...

The Anti-Social Network
We use the social media for everything. Our cat ate all her dinner, so we tweet about it. School is ruining our lives, so we blog about it. The bus was late, so we write a Facebook status about it. Social media has become an outlet for people to express their feelings, whether it’s venting...
Life After Hockey
As a nation that takes pride in their sports teams, we also take pride in our team players. Young children look up to them, teenagers hope to become them and adults reminisce about them and their ‘glory days.’ Childhood memories are built on going to hockey games, seeing your favourite team score, and maybe even...
