Look up at the night sky, embrace the cosmos and notice the millions of tiny little dots that blanket the sky. Realize that each one of those dots could very well be a sun to a new set of planets, many of which hold the potential of harbouring life. Now, realize that these are only the dots you can see […]
Commuting to and from school is a viable option for many students, but so few tackle it. Want the cold, hard facts about being a commuting student? I’m your gal.

I have always enjoyed meeting new people. The chance to interact with those who have a different personality from me, as well as those who share different experiences or hobbies, can be quite exhilarating. I am an extrovert by nature – that’s just me and it’s always been me. We each have unique character traits that make up our personalities. […]
