Student Travels

It's March and, let's face it, who doesn't need some time off to clear their head? There is no break in sight and the countdown until the winter term is over seems to be taking forever. If this is how you feel, then may I suggest a weekend getaway. Las...

Hibiscus iced tea

It’s March, and though our weather can’t seem to make up its mind, I know we’re all ready for spring, or better yet, summer. What better way to kickstart those sunny days than by mixing up a beautiful batch of iced tea? Those of you who visit Heritage Days during...

Café Culture

SQUARE 1 CAFÉ Approaching the Aspen Gardens location of Square 1 Coffee, at 15 Fairway Dr. NW, one’s expectations might not amount to much — on the outside, the building which houses the café is not terribly big and seems rather square. The cozy patio, lit...

Looking at the bright side

Who has a newfound appreciation and respect for stay-at-home moms right now? The news is full of all stories COVID-19 and everyone is aware of the situation. Everybody has been affected in some way: students are unable to go to class in person, and the majority of...

Boxed In

Having products dropped right at our doorstep is nothing new — from the milkmen of the early 19th century to drone delivery services, humans are determined to find ways of having all they need without actually going out and getting it. Subscription boxes...

Zero Waste in the Consumer World?

Ritchie Market’s local Transcend Coffee is a bustling hub. The door opens up to the café on the right, Blind Enthusiasm on the left, and Acme Meat Market in the back. The area is completely local, totally Edmonton, so it is no wonder that the co-founders of...

How-To: Spring clean

It’s hard to believe that winter is almost over when you live in a city where it snows for over half the year. Warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and chirping birds are right around the corner and yet for most of us, things still feel like they’re...

Date Night

Typically, date night means dinner, a movie, and maybe a concert if you’re feeling spicy. But for your next date night, I highly recommend a rage room. A rage room is a place that lets customers destroy items such as (but not limited to) plates, cups,...

Laughing Stock

At around 11 a.m. one day in December of last year, 19-year-old Edmontonian Brad Semotiuk was awoken by an odd phone call from internationally famous American stand-up comedian Steve Hofstetter. “He kept asking me about the conversion rate between American and...

Black Label Society plays at Midway

Black Label Society played on Sunday, March 8 at Midway. Theirs is the first concert to take place since the bar opened and they put on a wicked show, setting the bar high for future acts. Midway is a relatively new bar as it just opened in September, taking the...

How-To

For most students, by the time February comes around, we aren’t really worried about looking our best. It’s midterm season, baby! Time for the iconic MacEwan University hoodie, sweatpants or leggings, and a pair of grungey Converse sneakers. And that’s fair enough...

Staycation

Whenever the word vacation comes up, images of great adventures or relaxing on a beach are likely to be at the forefront of our thoughts. However, this is not the case for everyone. In fact, have you ever returned from vacation and realized you were so tired you...

Chocolate mousse

Every year for Valentine's Day, the recipe expectations can reach unrealistic heights, but it doesn't have to be so complicated. What if there was a dessert easy enough for a beginner to put together, but fancy enough to make you look like a professional? Well,...

Café Culture

BARKING BUFFALO CAFÉ Anyone familiar with 124 Street knows that there is no shortage of places to find delicious coffee, but there’s only one Barking Buffalo Café. The small coffee shop can be found at 10842 124 St., situated inside Salgado Fenwick, a shop...

Fast Pesto Chicken Recipe

When the school year gets busy, it’s hard to find time for things like laundry, cleaning, or cooking. Healthy eating often gets pushed aside in favour of comfort food and fast food; there’s a reason for the term “freshman 15.” So when my friend told me about...
