However, it…

    Our most meaningful takeaways from a year of remote learning

    The most notable thing Iโ€™ve taken away from our first full year of online learning is the importance of accountability and connections. Now that weโ€™re predominantly working alone, itโ€™s so easy to fall straight into these little isolating habitsโ€”cameras off, mics muted, late assignmentsโ€”and when thereโ€™s no one there to prompt you to get your…

    What can you do with an arts degree?

    What the hell do you do with an arts degree?

Just about everyone and their mother assumes an English majorโ€™s one…

    Exercise apparel is not the answer to all your insecurities

    Exercise doesnโ€™t have to be a fashion show. Youโ€™re working out for your healthโ€”or at least you should beโ€”and all that GymShark merch is just an added expense.  Exercise apparel can be implausibly expensive at times; a single pair of name-brand sweat pants could cost you well over a hundred dollars, at this point.

    Whatโ€™s it like to work as a funeral director?

    As conscious, living organisms, itโ€™s not rare to concern ourselves with feelings of existentialism and the inevitability of death. Weโ€™re all going to die and we know that. It comes with the territory.ย  What a fun way to start your Wednesday morning, huh? Regardless of your religious views and opinions, we only inhabit these bodies…

    Framing Britney Spears shines a light on the pop star’s dangerous conservatorship

    As of Feb. 26, the popular documentary Framing Britney Spears is available in Canada.ย  Iโ€™d been ignorant to the realities of Spears’ personal and political life behind the scenes. She sang mildly catchy pop songs 20 years ago; thatโ€™s all I needed to know. However, unbeknownst to the majority of casual fans, the last 12…
