words Daniella Pettenon We all know those second-to-last row classmates who are constantly shopping online during lectures (I stand guilty). Online shopping is too easy and a little addicting! E-commerce has grown dramatically in the past decade—online retail stores now make a majority of the retail market share in comparison to general retail stores as…
By Lauren Edwards I’ve never been one to drink casually but after starting as a full-time student, I’ve definitely come close. During the COVID-19 quarantine period with ample time to cook a nice dinner, I treated myself to a nice bottle to go with it. Okanagan label Conviction Wines (Sandhill Winery, Kelowna) knew what they…

How You Can Take Care of Your Liver words Nick Empey If you’re anything like me, the last few months have not been the best for your liver. You went home for the holidays, then came back to catch up with your friends, and have been spending Friday nights out in the embrace of the…
Attention food, culture and comedy lovers! Chef and restaurateur David Chang is back with another tantalizing Netflix original series—Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.

Nicole V. advertised her twerking class in January as an empowering practice of the art form, and welcome to all dance levels (and bum sizes). When I walked into the hot dance studio, what I expected was a room full of experienced dancers twerking it up. What I didn’t expect was fur coats, Prada, a…
The internet is ripe with porn. Not only are genres and platforms growing more diverse, but it’s getting to be more accessible to anyone, especially the inexperienced. If your parents didn’t bother giving you “the talk,” or you managed to avoid the mandatory Sex Ed seminars in middle school, I sincerely hope you don’t search…
When I first stepped onto the BCIT campus, I had no intention of falling in love. Neither did he. His name is Tai. We’re both taking a two-year broadcast journalism program. He instantly caught my eye on orientation day. He asked for my number, and since then, we’ve texted each other non-stop. We dated for…
