MacEwan University’s student publication. Honest reporting, quality media, and good vibes.
It’s October. That means a few things: snow (probably), midterms (unfortunately), and most importantly, chocolate. I went out on a limb and looted the Superstore candy aisle for name-brand chocolate with a twist, and enlisted Brett Boyd’s help for taste testing the...
It has been almost two years since the first wave of the COVID pandemic. This has led to inevitable job losses for both full- and part-time workers. The uncertainty of a part-time job and fluctuating income while navigating school can lead to increased stress among...
At the start of the pandemic in 2020, I did what literally everyone else did: I started to binge watch Netflix. It started with Love is Blind and progressed to Tiger King. I wondered what I was doing with my life and why I was literally flushing my time away with...
Grab some popcorn and enjoy these Halloween classics There’s a chill in the air, leaves on the ground, and pumpkin spice on the breath. Fall is here! My favourite season of the year has finally returned, and I’ve already started planning out my autumn-themed events...
