Budget-Friendly Earbuds for Working Out
I did some digging and found some great Bluetooth earbuds that won’t break the bank.

Keeping Busy in Vancouver
It can sometimes be difficult to appreciate all the wonderful things Vancouver has to offer when you’re stuck in the library for what feels like days on end, staring out the window to the grey, rainy, crow-filled skies of BCIT. However, British Columbia was recently voted one of the happiest provinces in the country, while…
Don’t break that New Years resolution!
Okay so it’s the end of January, and for those of you who set financial-based New Year’s resolutions, if you’ve stuck to your resolution to this point then you’re one of few. That being said, now is no time to give up! I mean if you’ve made it this far, the least you can do…
Get Out and Enjoy this Vancouver Winter
As the skies get greyer and the rain gets heavier, it’s easy to want to stay in and wait for the summer to come. Not to mention the BCIT workload getting heavier and the daunting midterm exam schedule looming over. But if you’re looking to escape the eh-pod, Great Hall, or whatever your study location…
New Year, No Money
The New Year has officially begun and with that comes the influx of new years resolutions, many of which focus around financial stability and budgeting. However, unless you’re lucky enough to be the winner of the upcoming powerball lottery, being a student at a time when the Canadian dollar is hitting record lows does not…
Holiday Shopping Tips
Between finishing projects, studying for finals, and trying to find a minute or two to sleep and eat, the lead up to finals doesn’t exactly allow any time for holiday shopping. Not to mention, funds are a bit tight when you’re on a student budget and food tends to take priority over buying presents. So…
‘Tis the Season
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…
What’s going on in Vancouver this week?
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…
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanksgiving is here, and typically that means loads of food, family, and naps. But for students, it doesn’t always make sense to go home for Thanksgiving between the cost and the amount of studying you have to do (thanks a lot BCIT). So sometimes you have to create your own makeshift thanksgiving; unfortunately cooking a…
October is here!
But just because summer officially ended last week doesn’t mean the end of fun Vancouver activities. The weather has gotten colder and the urge to get through homework and studying (ie. cuddle up under a blanket with a hot beverage and Netflix) is pretty strong, but there are still a lot of fun activities around…
One week down…
Congratulations on finishing your first week of class (let the countdown to winter break begin). And what better way to celebrate finishing your first week than getting out for some fun, budget-friendly activities? So, finish up your homework, this is BCIT after all, you are very likely going to have homework, and check out this…
