<p>April 1 is a big day for mankind. It’s the one day a year where we get to strip ourselves of our manners, quit worrying about the well-being of others, and return to man’s state of nature: being dicks. Whether it’s the BBC making people believe spaghetti trees exist or Canada making Nunavut a territory, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Let’s say you’ve applied for that summer dream job. You’re sitting down when you get a call from an unknown number. So thrilling. The person calling says you got an interview. You’re excited, nervous and scared because you’re one step closer to having a job, but you don’t want to screw it up. Interviews can [&hellip;]</p>

<p>People on the bus started shouting, “The president just died!” I couldn&#8217;t believe it. I hoped I could return safely to my house. Everyone was leaving their homes and banging pots and pans while public transportation collapsed. It was announced on TV that classes would be suspended for a week. On March 5, 2013, on [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Every Saturday morning, 12-year-old Marjorie Aitken visited the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts with her class. She loved art galleries and often went to see more with her parents. The young Montreal girl had talent. She attended classes taught by Arthur Lismer and A.Y. Jackson, two members of the Group of Seven. She knew she [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Last semester, I wrote about the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, advising to wait and see about both consoles. I said that buying a new console right away isn&#8217;t a good choice, although I haven&#8217;t always followed my own advice. Nintendo&#8217;s Wii U console came out on Nov 18, 2012, I went to EB [&hellip;]</p>

<p>His arms reveal his sons’ names in thick black cursive, Andrew on the right and Thomas on the left.  His quiet, petite wife has one boy in her arms and he’s holding the other. He settles one of the two squirmy blonde-haired, blue-eyed 13-month-old twin boys into a highchair. He tosses a handful of cheerios [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Whether it’s Flappy Bird or Angry Birds all I know is, in this video game era, we’ve all got a firm handle on our birds. Why is it so hard to put video games down? Isn’t there a call of duty to go through that portal we call a front door, look around at the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It’s all about who you know. Out of all my co-workers, only a handful were hired from dropping off a resume. The rest of the employees, including me, were friends or acquaintances with people who already worked there. The bosses hired their employees&#8217; friends because they gave them great references. I was never even interviewed. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>On a hot, sunny day in 2010, six researchers followed the owner of the century-old north-side property into his backyard. Equipped with a divining rod and a “big, fancy science machine” that measures compression of the earth, they tried to locate the graves of at least 12 people. No gravemarkers guided them, and even the [&hellip;]</p>

<p>What, in geographical terms, fosters talent, creativity and the arts? Not provinces or nations, but cities. To use author and professor Richard Florida’s term, the creative class live in cities— in fact, they thrive there. But not any city; Florida insists it is the quality of place— a place of diversity— that creative-minded people enjoy. Halifax [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I had a really hard time finding this week&#8217;s topic. I even resorted to my last ditch technique, parking myself in the cafeteria in the hopes of overhearing something good. Everyone was only talking about midterms, papers, classes, and how stressed they were. And then I realized it. Of course I’m having a hard time finding [&hellip;]</p>

<p>One thing that always influences what games I enjoy is nostalgia. Every long-time gamer has it for one game or another, and I&#8217;ve got it in spades. Older games appeal to me for a variety of reasons, while new games need to work hard to impress me. Even when I play new games, I&#8217;m often [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I loved the war stories. I always remember him telling me the story of his encounter with the Viet Cong. Dad was a CBC-TV reporter and his car had broken down while driving through the jungles of war-torn Vietnam. The hood was up when menacing-looking soldiers burst out from the bushes, dressed in black and [&hellip;]</p>

<p>So, you think Canadians are polite, well-mannered, friendly people, eh? Our favourite colour is beige? Our favourite room is the hall? You think nothing makes us angry; nothing grinds our gears and sets a screw loose. You think we’re pushovers, don’t ya, punk? We’d never do anything to rebel against the status quo? Well, I’ll [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The big square table in the Wabanaki Resource Centre at St. Thomas is set with tea cups of different sizes, while the steaming tea pots fill the room with a sweet, fruity scent.

<p>There’s a trend happening in the job market and a lot of people seem to be doing it. It’s called bad first impressions. Here are a few examples of the types of people I see applying for jobs. The slob: You’ll notice them right away because they carry a deep stench, normally reeking of alcohol, weed, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>WHO WAS ST. VALENTINE? Who St. Valentine really was is hard to say. Some sources tell the story of him being a priest who secretly married Roman soldiers and saved them from going to war, because the Emperor at the time thought good soldiers were single men. When the Emperor found out about the secret [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Couple #1: Reanne McDowell and MacKenzie Van Hagan. When did you meet? 5½ months ago. Where did you two meet? MacKenzie: In the cafeteria. How did that first conversation go? MacKenzie: It was good. Reanne was pretty shy but I was persistent. She also had a boyfriend but I just persisted and eventually I won her heart. [&hellip;]</p>
