If there’s anything I’ve learned as a student, it’s how to save money where I can. At the same time though, there’s no reason not to make every effort to have fun and enjoy yourself even when you’re living frugally. With the combination of reading week and slightly warmer weather (we’re in the positives now), I couldn’t help but think […]
The coronavirus was unprecedented, but so is the racism that has come along with it.

And sometimes, random guests show up at your apartment and leave their razor scooter at the door — and that’s okay! Generally speaking, sharing things with your roommates is great: but not everyone you live with will […]
Last Sunday television screens worldwide were graced with the annual Oscars award show and another historic night for films. In a year with some particularly good nominations, let’s dive in to look at the winners and if the academy made the right call of not. First I will be covering the biggest story coming out of the award show, Bong […]
Book lovers and non-readers unite. There is an exhibit on our very own campus that you have to check out. On a cool Thursday evening where the snow was hitting like tiny ice pellets falling from a gloomy sky, I wandered over to the Laurier library to get a coffee and kill some time. I had heard of a so-called […]
On Jan. 13, the newest pizza spot on campus, Golden Dough Pie Co., had its grand opening at the Terrace Food Court.
