Editor’s Note: T.I. isn’t fatherly, he’s creepy
/
American rapper T.I. recently made headlines and regained some of his lost relevance since 2010 for the troubling comments he made regarding his teenage daughter on the podcast Ladies Like Us. During the episode, he told the two hosts that he accompanies his daughter to her annual gynecologist appointments to make sure that her “hymen…

Editor’s Note: Figuring out friendships
/
At 24 years-old, I feel like I’ve learned a lot from my friendships, and in some ways, more than I have from my romantic relationships. That’s not to say that I haven’t learned anything from my relationships, I certainly have, given that I’ve been with my boyfriend for over five years now. But my friendships…

Editor’s note: Casting an informed vote
/
After voting in a federal election for the second time in my life on Monday, I walked away from the polling station with a different feeling than I had back in 2015. I have always “cared” about politics, the state of our country and the world we live in, to an extent — meaning that…

Editors Note: Treating yourself with kindness
/
As we approach the fall Reading Week, I’ve been starting to think more and more about the ways that I can begin cramming as many productive hours and simultaneous chunks of relaxation time into my schedule as humanly possible. I’m the kind of person who can’t stand the possibility of “wasting” my precious week off…

Editor’s Note: Living with an invisible illness
/
As someone who lives with an “invisible illness” — type 1 diabetes — I have gone through a lot of trouble in order to ensure that it is, in fact, invisible to other people. With the exception of very close family and friends, I purposefully hide the aspects and realities of living with this disease…

Editor’s Note: sexualizing young artists isn’t acceptable
/
Billie Eilish is 17 years-old. She is also a chart-topping singer and performer who has become exceptionally popular in a relatively short amount of time. Her age is not only noteworthy in relation to her talent and growing success over the past few years, but it’s also important to acknowledge for the men who make…

Editor’s Note: Accepting changes
/
I don’t like change. I have never enjoyed the uncertainty and newness involved in navigating different situations. I like staying in a routine once I get comfortable with it and being content with what I have. Taking on this job as Editor-in-Chief of The Cord and moving on from another year of relative comfort into…

Editors Note: Graduating Goodbyes
/
With the end of each school year comes a sense of catharsis. The weight of exams and school is lifted and the short break between the winter term and the start of either summer jobs or the summer semesters allows us to catch up on the things we’ve put on the back burner. For me,…

Editor’s Note: Finding your place on campus
/
Entering first-year can be overwhelming. From the first day you arrive at Laurier, you are inundated with people who are passionate about their purple and gold pride encouraging you to get involved, to try new things, and to take advantage of all that Laurier offers. It’s no secret that Laurier holds a pretty specific stereotype…

Editor’s Note: Proactive approach
/
Eat well, exercise, talk about your feelings, take care of yourself. Easier said than done for most of us right? But if you are the type of person who freezes up in the face of adversity, I would recommend not letting self-care fall to the back burner, because it can be a slippery slope. It’s…
