<p>I went to my first middle school dance at the mature age of eleven. My parents were a tad leery as there would be members of the opposite sex (insert gasp here) in a small confined space known as the school gymnasium. I had my first ever slow dance with a boy to Christina Aguilera’s [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I was nine pounds when I was born and from what I’ve heard, that’s no small child. Pictures show me with what appears to be a full head of hair and possibly glasses. But after a 17-hour labour, some impending nerve damage – and hopefully 22 years of awesomeness – my mom has forgiven me. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>When Khairunnisa Intiar was 15, her family moved to Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen. Her father was working as a diplomat in the Indonesian Embassy. They stayed in the country until Intiar was almost 18. She experienced Yemen before the revolution and protests, known as the Arab Spring movement, began just over a year [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I won’t sugar coat it, I spend a disgusting amount of time in classrooms. I’m trying to finish four majors, spanning two degrees at the same time. In order to pull this off I spend a lot of time dashing up and down the hill between both the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>(Photo courtesy of Shayne Kaye via Flickr Creative Commons) KAMLOOPS, B.C. (CUP) — I’ve been able to bottle it up until now. It has been boiling in the background, but I put a lid on it and let it be. But now — now you’ve done it. You have, once again, ended up (almost) at [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It was the first day of classes of the winter semester of 2012, and her foreboding statement expressed her expectations of the three months ahead. “It’s going to be hell,” she said. She was a St. Thomas University student, probably barely recovered from the demands of exams and multiple paper deadlines all coinciding in one or [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Some say good sex is all about the size of a penis. One likes them large. The next one tells you it’s all about girth. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Different people like different sizes. It’s definitely not an issue for our vaginas. They are capable of extending several inches, accommodating almost any [&hellip;]</p>

<p>He says he was sitting at home with a girl friend Thursday morning when they let themselves into his apartment on Westmorland Street. A woman addressed him: “Charles, I have a search warrant to enter your residence and search your residence, signed by Judge Mary Jane Richards… and you are under arrest for libel.” He [&hellip;]</p>

<p>It’s no secret that I’m pretty far to the left when it comes to politics. I support increasing taxes on corporations and the rich to pay increased investment in healthcare, education, pensions and affordable housing. I want a Canada with more social and economic justice – that’s why I’m a member of the New Democratic [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Ancient Greeks measured a fouryear period with Olympiads, celebrated with religious festivals, artistic tributes and of course, the famous athletic competitions. In the modern United States, four years are marked with presidential elections, a nearly year-long celebration of interminably prolonged debate and endless votes, beginning with the mysterious procession of caucuses and conventions. As [&hellip;]</p>

<p>For centuries, Africa’s been known as the “Dark Continent”—filled with a supposed mysterious, piteous, primitive people in need of civilizing and evangelizing. As 2011 drew to a close and a new year arrived, it became apparent that a new perception of Africa had not come with it. While efforts to help Africans have historically been [&hellip;]</p>

<p>This past week hasn’t been good for students across the country. Tuition fees are going up in Nova Scotia while university budgets are being cut. The Nova Scotia government announced tuition fee increases of three per cent (or more in professional programs and for international students). And that three per cent cap on tuition fee [&hellip;]</p>

<p>When I say, “Friends with benefits,” what comes to mind? For quite a few of you, I’m sure there’s a voice inside your head screaming “DANGER!” and with good reason. Friends with benefits situations are definitely dangerous. Not in the you-could-die sense of the word, but certainly in the you-could-get-really-hurt sense. A few months ago, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I hate showering. Sure, it makes your hair smell nice and rids your body of that horrific natural odour. But I hate it. I hate being completely exposed and freezing before you get into the shower. I hate running out of soap. I hate standing for long periods of time. I hate finding conditioner still in [&hellip;]</p>

<p>We thought it was just a rumour. Really? Alcohol banned in Harrington Hall, the party house of St. Thomas University? Someone heard it from someone else who told us Larry Batt said the ban would start at midnight that night. We had to find out if this was true because, after all, you don’t report [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Mayans did not predict the apocalypse would happen in 2012. Rather, 2012 is when the current cycle of the Mayan Long Count calendar concludes and a new period of creation begins. So, in many political circles, as political parties and governments must, people will discuss and enact change, change that will forge new eras [&hellip;]</p>
