Recently I re-watched my favorite time travel movie, Primer. I feel confident in saying that I have more admiration for this film and its creator, Shane Carruth, than I do with any other movie or filmmaker. Many have not heard of Primer, which is understandable. It won the grand jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, but was […]
One of the biggest drawbacks of the winter months that can be frustrating to deal with is the damage that the cold air and indoor heating can do to my skin. With drier air, both inside and outside, our skin is directly impacted, and as a result, can cause cracking, dullness, lack of hydration and inflammation. Lately, skincare has become […]
The Oscar buzz is veering up again and there’s some questions to be answered. Will Joaquin Phoenix have an existential crisis on stage? Is that Martin Scorsese or did Eugene Levy hire a stylist? Where’s Adam Sandler? Is Jared Leto still a thing? Why the hell is Elton John here? Do we even care? All that red carpet hullabaloo and […]

DEVYN KELLY The name is quite self-explanatory: Dev-ritos Chicken Nachos is prepared with a base layer of cheese Doritos and is topped with Wilf’s cheese blend, grilled chicken, ranch dressing, hot sauce, green onions, peppers, tomatoes, shredded lettuce and served with sour cream and salsa. These nachos were a safe bet as they’re very easily shareable. So while it’s not […]
I don’t know anything about dating. I have zero validity when it comes to giving sound relationship advice. But as a smart aleck who tends to think he’s funny, I’ve been on enough bad dates to at least give some tips on what not to do, some topics to avoid and other things that tend to result in […]
The Lighthouse is a psychological horror film that may be the very best movie 2019 has to offer. Coming out in late October, I was only able to view it recently and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. It’s refreshing after all the movies I watched over the break, as many of them reused ideas or sequels. It was […]
It’s hard to believe that 2020 is already here. Big milestones like this can be difficult to adjust to, as it can often feel like time is just pushing us forward. So, whether this new year has you looking for guidance through a big change in your life, wanting to reflect on your past or even just trying to find […]
Every year in the middle of January, a selection of Laurier students make the decision to apply to study for a semester or year abroad. In pursuit of expanding their post-secondary studies, students have the opportunity in their senior undergraduate or graduate years, to embark on taking their academic careers outside of the nation. Through Laurier International, students follow an […]
The 2019 fall semester here at Laurier has seen many exciting events take place. From concerts to craft beer fests, drag shows and cooking demonstrations, the events at Laurier have been nothing short of exciting thus far. “I think we’re trying new stuff this year. We haven’t done a drag show at Laurier for years and we’ve never done a […]
