Editorial: It’s okay not to be okay
/
I’ve never been an outrightly emotional person. I was never one of those people who cried when they saw a video of a cute puppy and I certainly make it my mission in life to never let myself shed a tear over an adolescent boy who did me wrong. I understand the ways of the…

Editorial: being an athlete doesn’t have to stop after high school
/
Being an athlete was always my identifier for the majority of my life. Playing soccer since the ripe age of two turning three, playing basketball since the fourth grade and dabbling in other sports along the way, sports were pretty much all I ever knew. From age eight I started playing competitive soccer, and at…

Editorial: 23 years down and a lifetime to go
/
Today is my twenty third birthday. Yes, I am still in my undergrad and yes, I do have goals for myself. I have spent four and a half years at Laurier and honestly still do not want to leave. We often have a timeline in our minds, or at least I do, and it often…

Editorial: Finding inspiration on the field
/
Soccer has always been a passion of mine, and my long-time love for the sport could not have been fuelled without a dash of inspiration given to me by some of my favourite professional female soccer players. Growing up, I always looked at soccer as a “men’s sport” simply because I was exposed to nothing…

Editorial: Experiential learning in the world of dating
/
For the first time in a long time, I’m seeking casual experiences with new people instead of a serious long term relationship. In the process of doing so, I started reading articles about dating and meeting new people. Out of all the articles I’ve read from magazines targeted at men and women, I’ve come to…

Editorial: The value of your first job
/
For many people, a first job is a mere stepping stone in the river of unknowns that begin your journey into adulthood. It provides you with a sense of independence, responsibility, an understanding of how “the real world” works and what seems like the most important aspect — a little disposable income. In most cases,…

Editorial: Overcoming Social Anxiety
/
The first year I entered university, I was absolutely terrified. Beyond the general fear that most people have going into a new environment, I was stricken with a constant, all consuming unease that followed me wherever I went. Walking through large groups of people made me incredibly nervous, going into crowded lecture halls left me…

Unhooking the stigma behind going braless
/
There isn’t a woman I know that enjoys wearing a bra. How can anyone blame them? Bras are confining, they cut into the skin and add an extra layer of fabric in the summer. However, because I’m not entirely small chested, I never considered going braless. People would notice; my breasts would be out of…

Internet attacking Amber Heard for her account of abuse
/
Over the weekend, Amber Heard was trending on Facebook again. Since late May when Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, it seems we can’t go two weeks without one of them trending and having their faces spread across our social media feeds. Recently, I’ve come to dread when Heard’s name begins to trend. Like…

Accepting that we are agents of change
/
Some may say that now, perhaps more than ever, we are facing revolutionary social climates. This is not to discredit the beliefs upon which this statement is built, but it is exactly this rarefication of events that poses a problem: a secularity in thinking and the misremembrance of the past and future. As a result,…
