Consider this the Finnish spring break – but with less sun and bathing suits and more Saunas and negative temperatures. I’ve got the week off of school, and since I’m still on a mission to see all the Nordic countries while here, three of us booked a trip to Oslo for five days. We had…
The Link enlisted me back in September of 2015 to write about film and movies. Perhaps you remember my inaugural post about one of my favourite independent romantic comedies Ruby Sparks. Since then my contributions here have dipped further into the cultural realm with the occasional album review and now, circumstance has cast me as…
It all began and ended with a marketing presentation delivered to our client. After several weeks and countless hours of research, brainstorming, debating, and sleepless nights, our term project was finally over. My team and I spent way too many hours together in a campus meeting room, but the moment we sat down for brunch,…

Okay. So it’s midterm season and you’re hungry. What do you do? Food options on campus are lacking, and you’re hungering for something filling and delicious. Where do you go? One simple solution: Chipotle. Since it opened at Metrotown about a year ago, Chipotle Mexican Grill has been a go-to favourite for several BCIT students. Convenience…
The Vancouver Whitecaps opened up their 2016 MLS campaign on Sunday against Canadian rivals, the Montreal Impact. With a handful of new additions trying to etch their names in Whitecaps folklore, the ‘Caps were hoping to get a win against the Drogba-less Impact. However, in front of the sold out B.C.

I know what it’s like wanting to stay active (or get active) but not having the funds for a gym membership, and the gym at BCIT can lose its appeal pretty quickly. So I’ve put together a few activities below that will get your blood pumping without breaking the bank. The Urban Grind Spring is…
The more I stress about school, club events, and everything else in life, the more I find the need to seek out the next best ice cream joint in town. I’m not completely certain of this, but I assume several students are also in the same boat as I. If you haven’t heard of UYU…
