But for others, sometimes it can take a shorter amount of time for a relationship to feel like it’s right. […]

I’ve always had this philosophy that you shouldn’t mourn people while they’re alive. It seems like a pretty obvious concept, but the amount of times I’ve seen my friends and members of my family severely distraught baffles me. That’s not to say people can’t have emotions – I lack a majority of the key ones most people have, but every […]
What can someone buy with $1 billion? Approximately 1,100 houses in Toronto. 140,000 years of tuition at WLU. A luxurious steak dinner, for three meals a day, for 9000 years. It’s hard to comprehend, but a billion dollars is an absurd amount of money. More than any individual can spend in a year, maybe a lifetime, even when living the […]

On Feb. 14, a province-wide Amber Alert was issued across Ontario, and caused phones to loudly sound at 11 p.m., succeeding in what it was designed to do — get people’s attention. An 11-year old little girl, Riya Rajkumar, went missing and police reached out to the public to help them find her. The Amber Alert was successful in aiding […]
University is nothing if not a community. Strangely enough, many people see this world of opportunity as nothing more than a place to spend money while working towards a piece of paper.
