MacEwan University’s student publication. Honest reporting, quality media, and good vibes.
If you’re active on social media or essentially don’t live under a rock, you’ve probably caught wind of the “creepy clown” epidemic that’s currently sweeping across North America. I found out quite recently that there is a pretty big difference between chuckling at...
In February, American singer-songwriter Kesha lost her lawsuit against Dr. Luke, a music producer. The lawsuit Kesha filed would have freed her from her contract with Dr. Luke, which currently requires her to record music exclusively under his record label. On...
It’s that time of year again. SAMU elections have just ended, and hopeful new executives look forward to a year of representing student interests. During the voting period, in response to our campuses being plastered with the smiling faces of each hopeful...
It’s hard to believe that spring is almost here! It’s been so unseasonably warm outside that it feels like winter never really came. As a true lover of winter, I have to say that I’m a little disappointed. However, I’m happy to present you with the newest issue...
Motivation is quite the hot potato for students. Some weeks, we feel like we could single-handedly move mountains. Other weeks, we feel like we have those same mountains on our shoulders. In fact, as a student, I know that it doesn’t even need to be mountains; it...
Just to start with the easy question first: who are the Feminists at MacEwan? Katie: Well, we’re a student-run organized club at MacEwan. Kaitlyn: We’re not just, like, the executive team. We’re an intersectional feminist group. Jason: I guess speaking on that, us...

What is love? The word means different things to different people, and even the same person will use it differently depending on the context. People also express their love in different ways. A fellow named Chapman suggests that words of affirmation, acts of...
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...
I think about wellness very infrequently. I don’t wake up in the morning and think about how to live my life in a more fulfilling way. I don’t make decisions based on some expert’s advice. I don’t choose to live my life by following advice given by other people,...
