I don’t often get excited for movie or TV franchise reboots. They are often disappointing on most levels. The most recent Disney release, Beauty and the Beast, comes to mind — an unnecessary live-action reboot of a beloved classic. Being a person who is mostly disappointed by reboots, imagine my shock-horror when I found out that we were getting a […]
As a recent convertee into the world of EDM, I was a bit apprehensive in embracing the genre of music for whatever inner battle I’m having with self-actualization.

Love them or hate them, Tim Hortons has held a monopoly on the Canadian coffee ideal for forever and a day. Coupled with a sour cream glazed Timbit, nothing better embodies the image of mornings at the hockey rink, celebrating the essence of what it means to be Canadian.

The WLU Rotaract is Laurier’s chapter of Rotaract, the community service club that is the post-secondary branch of the organization Rotary International. The club held an untraditional fundraiser this past […]
The eyelash extension trend in Waterloo has quite frankly got people lashin’ out.

Lindsay Stevenson, a third-year global studies student at Wilfrid Laurier University, runs her own eyelash extension business out of her apartment. Instantly becoming hooked […]
Symphony – Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson This song is one I will be blasting with friends all summer, reminding me of how happy I am to be surrounded by them. Larsson’s voice and the mixed mid and fast tempo arrangement instantly brings the ‘feels’ of comfort and love. Whether it’s the patio or the beach, you will love this […]
I, for some reason, cannot fully indulge in the experiences shared by white rappers in their music. Something about the music is a little too fabricated and gimmicky — regardless of their personal experiences being undoubtedly valid. And it was apparent that this past Monday night at Starlight was going to consist of predominately white hip hop artists. However, I […]
Imagine my surprise when among the new releases coming to the local Apollo Cinema they were advertising a screening of 2015’s film that redefined high octane, Mad Max: Fury Road.
