Reviews of four pumpkin spice hidden gems from around (MacEwan’s) campus As autumn settles in, the pumpkin spice phenomenon that is synonymous with the season finds itself on café menus once again. However, students are tired of the same old overpriced offerings...
Originally published on September 1, 2024 Studying without headphones is WHACK! It should be ILLEGAL to study without PHAT BEATS. But just like us, PHAT BEATS are not made equally. We’re all a little different. We at the Griff have put together a lil’ quiz to clock...
Discover what’s right outside MacEwan Originally published on September 1, 2024 Unlike other campuses, MacEwan’s interconnected buildings allow students never to wander outside these walls. While there are many benefits to easily getting to class without stepping...
How do you reach adulthood when the goal posts keep moving? I don’t think there's ever been a time in my life when I didn’t consider myself an adult. As far back as I can remember, I’ve been ready for the next thing and I just needed the grownups around me to...
Commercial or cute? With Feb. 14 inching closer, love is undeniably in the air. The world is littered with red and pink, hearts seem to be on every advertisement, and the flower section at grocery stores are bare. Beneath the surface of this romantic event lies a...

I’ve struggled with adult acne for years, and now, I’m telling my story As a teenager, there’s nothing worse than waking up to see a huge pimple on your face. Except for when you’re not a teenager. As an adult, the self-inflicted torture and anxiety-riddling skin...
Around this time of the year, people gather at their local Spirit Halloween to find the ultimate costume. Maybe they browse Pinterest to get inspiration. Either way, people are searching for something unique, easy, or trendy....
Cuffing season may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up on love. While many students may turn to Instagram DMs, Tinder, or the highly underused MacEwan Anonymous Acknowledgments, Admit, and Confessions Facebook page in hopes of...
For our last article for the griff, we wanted to go out with a bang — or should we say a pop (as in jalapeño poppers). We assembled some tasty appetizer recipes (no entrées in this one, sorry for the misleading title) and spent an afternoon whipping them up in...
What better way to celebrate the end of the semester than with a tasty drink in hand. Grab some friends, make some drinks, and shake off the stress of the semester! As delicious as these drinks are, the real treat is muddling your way through these recipes with a...
My most vivid memory from an otherwise blur of a fall semester is my professor telling our class that he had been stalked multiple times in his life. One time it had gone on for months, culminating in him waking up one morning with the stalker leaning over his...
