MacEwan University’s student publication. Honest reporting, quality media, and good vibes.
When anticipating a new album, you develop a certain concern: “I hope the new songs are as good as the old ones.” It would be a shame if they weren’t. You may not even recognize the artist anymore; the music might move in a direction that you can’t comprehend or...
When I decided to write a piece on social wellness, I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so hard. I expected it to be pretty sequential: I summarize my pitiful high school years, and then I talk about my wonderful time at MacEwan University. Compare, contrast;...
Welcome back from the holidays! It’s time to get ready for a new year and a new semester. I hope that all of you were able to get plenty of rest and spend time with your loved ones. Relaxation and a social life are key elements of emotional and psychological...
