In a lot of ways, I don’t think I’ve ever felt quite as out-of place as I do now. A few short months ago, I was spending my weekends gallivanting around Britain to various stage plays and museums, mostly for free through my work with University of Birmingham’s student newspaper, Redbrick. Now I spend my weekends in Waterloo, desperately attempting […]
I’m seven months away from graduation and even though that seems like a long time, I’m already starting to feel anxious, nervous, excited, and curious — basically what everyone feels when they are about to go through a major change in their life. The one cliché that I have constantly heard during my four years so far at Laurier has […]

The Simpsons was my favourite show growing up. From the ages of six to 10, I would watch The Simpsons every day on Comedy Central at nine o’clock. I tend to thank The Simpsons for helping me develop an awareness about the world and a unique sense of humour. Recently, The Simpsons has been in the news over speculation that […]

These amendments range everywhere from banning the use of e-cigarettes in enclosed spaces, to banning offshore gas and oil drilling, to increasing taxes. The fourth amendment aims to restore voting rights to former felons who […]
It hasn’t been easy trying to start this article. I must have written pages of introductions but no matter how they start they all end the same, with bullets perpetually ripping through the hearts of every Jewish community. On Oct. 27, 2018 as Rabbi Jeffrey Meyers spoke to his congregation, with the light of God on his lips, a man […]
Last week I noticed my friend wearing a shirt that said “Netflix and Bills.” Immediately, I pointed how that motto is truly sad and a disappointing way of living. It made more sense when she turned around and I saw that her shirt was a gift Domus gave. But I was more intrigued by the text at the bottom that […]
On Feb. 16, 2018, Drake dropped his music video for his single God’s Plan, which depicts him donating his $996 631.90 video budget to Miami residents. Throughout the video he paid for strangers’ groceries, gave a teenager a new car, personally handed stacks of money to families on the street, took people on shopping sprees, gifted children with piles of […]
