Finals are coming up soon and it’s a good time to begin your studying so there won’t be any last minute cramming happening. But wait – before you crack open that textbook, it’s a good idea to think about your studying strategies and learn more effectively so you can finish faster and ace that exam. Here are a few stress-reducing strategies [...]
First thing’s first, I have not read the book so I am reviewing this solely movie wise, not about if it was true to the book or not. Plot: Nick Carraway, a young man trying to succeed in the success of bonds in New York during the 1920′s, meets his strange neighbour Gatsby. Jay Gatsby hosts wild and huge parties [...]
Alright guys, here’s something sure to satisfy your sweet tooth: Oreo pudding in a bowl, original recipe by Dani Boudreaux, under yummy creations. Sounds good? Well, it is.

Yaaay for Frozen Yogurt! Ever since the sun has been coming out more often, these frozen yogurt machines just seems to be popping out everywhere! Speaking of which, let’s give a warm welcoming to the new Tutti Frutti located on 130 Ave! If you didn’t know, this saturday (May 11) was their Grand Opening, and I had the honor to [...]
I had the honour of seeing Dr. Biruté Galdikas talk on Sunday April 28th about her experiences in Indonesia and with orangutans during her presentation Curious Orange in partnership with Kids Up Front. Not only is she part of the OFI (Orangutan Foundation International), but was also a part of Dr.Leaky’s ground breaking research program studying different apes alongside Jane Goodall [...]
For most high school seniors, grad is quickly approaching! To get everyone pumped for graduating, and of course the grad dance, I’ve made a compilation of sweet promposals: Happy grad. 2
Intergalactic Nemesis delivered an amazing, out of this world adventure, satisfying my thirst for a deeply entertaining science fiction thriller. Hands down, one of my favourite performances that I have seen in the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Fortunately before the performance, I was able to interview Jason Neulander, writer, director and producer of this fantastic sensory experience and was able [...]
Guess how I spent my Saturday morning? At a time when I would normally be sleeping, I was at Market Mall. Why? I was having chocolate frozen yogurt, a smoothie, and a waffle for breakfast. This wasn’t just any frozen yogurt, smoothie, or waffle. I was at the grand opening of Qoola Frozen Yogurt Bar! In fact, the Market Mall location is [...]
To most, spring break is a time to stay up all night and then sleep long past dawn. Today I gave myself a challenge; wake up at 6:30 and be out taking pictures before sunrise. Here are my five favourites. Dawn photography is known for being awesome for, well, the dawn of course! A beautiful sunrise always makes a breathtaking [...]
Last month, I wrote a post about Genecure’s “Gene Research for a Week” program. After just finishing spring break, I think it’s time to chronicle my journey in the labs of the UofC… With a notebook in one hand, a pen in the other, and an open mind I studied genetics in the C. elegans developmental biology and genetics lab [...]

A couple weeks ago I reviewed a bundt cake recipe (the “candy apple” bundt cake), and although I liked it, I felt the recipe I chose was lacking. Because of my parents’ close birthdays I soon found myself making another cake. Of course, again I was pressed for time, and a bundt cake again came to my rescue; Canadian Living’s [...]
Last Tuesday, the Epcor Centre presented an insightful and enchanting performance called Red. I was with Youth Central, volunteering for the event and had the fortunate opportunity to watch the show live. There was an excited atmosphere and the fans were most definitely anticipating the show! I know I was! SPOILER ALERT – Stop reading here if you don’t want [...]
How many ways can you think of right now to pick up a paper clip? A group of researchers did an experiment to ask a same group of kids this question over a number of years, and quite surprisingly, these kids come up with less and less answers as they grow older. Is education stripping away our creativity? Today in [...]

On every Urbanspoon (a trending website!) restaurant review page, the “opinions” section always has a “blog posts” section: Their Spoonback feature enables your food reviews for specific food places to be shown in that section! Letting readers access your food review blogs that way is very advantageous. If you click back to some of my food reviews, you’ll see that they have been recently [...]

The great thing about blogging is that it is so personal- no one gets to grade you or tell you that what you’re doing is “wrong” or not “correct.” . However, because it is so personal and open, ideas and individual style can come difficult. The following list I’ve compiled has personally helped me draw inspiration and become a better [...]

Are you one of those folks that wanted to try a “First Person Shooter” in real life, but Laser Tag just wasn’t doing you justice? Have you searched far and wide to try to find the best paintball place near your city? If you have a car and don’t mind driving for a bit, then I recommend Capture The Flag [...]

If you head to any Asian supermarkets in Calgary, you’re likely to see one of these large jars sitting on shelves sitting along with other tea products instead of with jams. The contents are much more reminiscent of a marmalade than something to make “tea” with. The doubts are definitely reasonable – Citron tea, yujacha (유자차 in Hangul), is a soothing remedy for colds [...]
Great schnitzel is hard to find outside of Bavarian cities like Kimberly, which is why I’m happy to say I’ve finally found a place. Not only is the schnitzel delicious at Wiener-Schnitzel Haus, but they also serve six different variations on the traditional German dish. One thing to note is the portions are huge; an order of schnitzel covers the [...]
If you haven’t heard of the Green brothers, let me give you a quick run down. John Green, (whose quotes I have featured in this article), has to be one of my favourite writers. If you’ve ever heard someone exclaim “Have you read TFIOS?!”, they are referring, not to some extra-terrestrial piece of literary material, but in fact, Green’s latest [...]
“‘The quake zone urgently needs tents, quilt, instant food, drinking water and medical goods,” the charity posted to Weibo, China’s version of Twitter. “Please try your best to donate cash.” In response, hundreds of thousands of people quickly posted emoticons giving the government-run charity a literal thumbs-down.’ – BBC News Why would Chinese people do that to Red Cross, one of [...]
