One of the biggest factor contributing to the rise of popularity is the hunger Vancouverites have for a championship title, any championship. And if not a championship, at least a team that wins consistently and has a confidence surrounding their opportunity to go far in the playoffs. When you look at the teams that normally…
Vancouver has a huge range of restaurants that serve up tasty bowls of ramen. From smaller ma and pa eateries, to larger chain restaurants. Naturally, some places would be better than others, or one would develop their own personal preference. That said, this post features my favourite: Marutama Ra-men. Robson Street is arguably the mecca of…
Most Januarys we tell ourselves that the new year is going to be better than the year before. We promise ourselves that this year is different. This year we are going to stick to going to the gym four times a week, that we are going to eat way healthier, put more effort into our…
Hey, pizza lovers! This post is for you. Vancouver has many amazing places to visit for a pizza fix. For some students who spend late nights in the ehPod, Dominoes, Panago, or Pizza Hut take-outs is the next best thing to sushi. Others who are recovering from a night of drinking, there’s always Uncle Fatih’s…
There are several things I look forward to in the month of December: end of exams, freedom, the holidays, more freedom, and the Vancouver Christmas Market. Asides from all the Christmas mugs I’ve hoarded, er I mean collected, over the years.. the Vancouver Christmas Market always brings out the spirit of the holidays in me.…
Holiday shopping is stressful. Malls? Stressful. Crowds? Stressful. Finding the perfect gift? Stressful. Writing this post is already giving me anxiety. With exams just wrapping up, I’m sure I’m not the only one behind with my purchases (I haven’t even started). However, working in a mall for the past five years, and being a self…
“Taco Tuesday” – a catchy alliteration that has, for so long, only reminded us to consume tacos once a week. For too long has our judgement been clouded by such thought. Why limit yourself to only tacos on Tuesdays when you can have tacos all day, every day? What if I told you there are options? What…
As the end of the year approaches, and you start to worry about what you need on the final to pass, let me help you procrastinate, just one last time… The Whitecaps, who’s season was ended a few weeks ago by the Portland Timbers, had without a doubt, their best season. Ever. Finishing as second…
The holiday season is upon us and, while it might be a bit too early (for most) to start setting up your own trees and lights, it’s not too early to start enjoying some of the more budget friendly festivities around town. So I’ve compiled a little list of fun student budget friendly events happening…
With so many ways to accessorize an outfit, I found one of the most surprising trends of this fall to be the floppy hat. That being said, it turns out to be the perfect accent for any outfit. Whether made of felt or wool, floppy hats are comfortable and easy to wear. Neutral colours like…
With the end of the semester coming up towards us, it is truly the time for students, especially at BCIT, to buckle down. As I’m sure you have realized, each of your instructors has decided to set term project and presentation deadlines and dates within the same week or day (in some instances). Collusion between…
We may be between holiday seasons now that Halloween is over and Christmas has yet to begin, but that doesn’t mean you have to have a lull in your plans. We’re in that nice little time slot where midterms are mostly finished but studying for final exams hasn’t quite begun, so now is the time…
