AN ART ADVENTURE
Almost a month has passed since I last visited the AGO with a good friend of mine, upon our visit we were surprised by the exhibit showcased that night. We were clueless and had no idea that the exhibition called the General Idea was in display. Now, you’re probably wondering why in the world would this matter?
Well, I’ll let you in a big revelation…

THE LIFE OF A STUDENT
In reference to Bob Marley’s lyrics “Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right”, from his notorious song “Three Little Birds”. It seems to me that this is not the case; with an overload of assignments, finals, midterms and exams…most students nowadays would rather procrastinate than worry about these university exams. Indeed, with the internet viable to our reach we...

THE EVOLUTION OF MAGAZINE COVERS
FIRST MAGAZINE COVERS:
How bizarre! to see this transformation
When the Time Magazine cost $0.15 cents
Not trying to sound Oh-So-Feminist
But, men should not be superior and there should be boundless opportunities for women.
Sorry to sound Oh So Feminist, but look around you offices are being dominated by men, a reflection of a Patriarchal society that we all live in.
WatchMY OPINION: It seems to me that reporting back then, gave a sense of immediacy compared to today’s news. Nowadays, we pay less attention on the stories being projected on the screen but rather we listen in one ear and out in the other. News today gives an excuse to showcase good-looking people and more often than not we find ourselves not listening and hence the fact that more and more videos are...

UNEXPECTED MONDAY
As a first year university student you have the tendency to venture out into an unknown place and discover a variety of unfamiliar things. There we were three university students with great differences united together with one particular interest a thrill for “Adventure”. It was an unintentional Monday night that evolved as an unusual and productive Monday.
It began at approximately 1:00pm when we...

How to be Virtuous 101
Had an interesting chat with my best guy friend’s at U of T. We spent hours on end discussing relentless topics about Academia and Relationships. A delightful discussion on how to attract the opposite sex, not only with the general perception of defiant goodlook’s but also the intellectual ability to seduce.
In the words of the good sir Raphael:
“Essa (a commonly used nickname with my...

#1 Be early to all lectures. Just being late a few minutes, gets you distracted enough not to follow the entire lecture and miss out on the key points.
#2 Do not miss any lectures. Simply attending all the lectures and following what the profs say will probably be enough to pass the course. Of course, it is very much advised to study hard to get the desired “A+”. Having a degree these days won’t...
