With this crazy semester in full swing, I can’t wait to take a break from the madness and enjoy fab clothes, fab company, and an overall fab time at The Cypher. The BCIT Marketing Association has been hosting its annual fashion show for years; with the focus of this years’ show being street wear. From…
Cravings.. we all have them. After spending long hours at school with no end in sight, worst case scenario is developing cravings for food you know you cannot find on campus. These craving occur almost regularly for me – especially when I’m on campus from 8am till 9pm. In most cases, I crave a bowl…
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.

I’ve a few places that make my list of go-to brunch spots, but for this post, I’ll focus on one I recently visited: Tuc Craft Kitchen. Located on the outskirts of Gastown…
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…
Good ice cream is easy to come by in Vancouver, but great ice cream, for a long time, wasn’t.. until recently. Since 2012, Earnest has been producing unique ice cream flavours in small batches with the best ingredients available.

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…
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…
