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 […]
Lindsay is a small town in Ontario located along the Scugog River. Founded in 1825, it’s claim to fame since then has been that it was the home of a long dead military official. Trip Advisor suggests checking out the Lounge Haven Cottage and Boating Club, if you’re so inclined. In more recent years, however, the town has received attention […]
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 often get asked “how do you do it?” by multiple fellow students as well as profs. I know lots of people choose not to commute because they don’t have […]
I have some breaking news for you, so you better sit down if you’re not already. Women wear underwear. Along with the cultural obsession with bra straps, another worst-kept-secret seems to be underwear — namely, visible panty lines. “It’s very strange that underwear and the idea that people have to wear underwear is sexualized,” Alicia Hall, assistant coordinator at the […]

Ever since arriving at university, I have fallen in love with the epic creation that is the burrito. So, when my girlfriend – who happens to be an editor at The Cord – suggested I try and find the best one in Waterloo, I didn’t just agree – I enthusiastically took it on as a challenge. To do this, I […]
At the recent Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa, our nation’s two newest astronauts were revealed to be Joshua Kutryk and Jennifer Sidey. Since I’ve always been interested in space exploration and the people involved in it, I took the time to read through interviews with the two new members of the Canadian Space Agency. In one such interview with Joshua […]
Kesha’s fourth studio album, Rainbow, was released over the summer on Aug. 11. For me, the album is a triumph in every sense of the word. She has come back from the pain of her court case with new music that explores genre and style. Her court case was between her and her producer, Dr. Luke, who allegedly raped and […]
The transition from August to September is difficult for many university students. A four month break from studying is not easy to overcome, even if most people are working during the summer. The university mindset is much different and students often find themselves falling behind in the first month of the school year. Although many people may describe this as […]
