    What are you going to do with your life? It’s a question we have all been asked many times, but do any of us really know the answer? No matter what response we give it seems like people are never completely satisfied and that somehow our vision of how our lives should unfold doesn’t live up to others’ expectations.

  • Go ahead, be a PAL

    By March 14, 2013

    On a whim I decided to apply and take part in PAL during my fourth year. Although I thought university sucked in my first year, I figured I could at least try and make that inaugural experience worthwhile for a new shipment of academic minds, fresh off the high school production lines.

  • 5 Days for the Homeless not as helpful as we think

    By March 13, 2013

    Every year we see business students don orange T-shirts and ask for donations during 5 Days for the Homeless. Most people, if they think about it at all, consider 5 Days a helpful philanthropic exercise. However, it may be time to re-evaluate this practice and see if it actually does as much good as much as we expect it to.

  • I solemnly swear: why cursing in front of kids shouldn’t be verboten

    By March 9, 2013

    When I first met my nephew, there were a lot of things I worried about. I worried I would drop the precious bundle because I had no idea how to hold a baby. I worried I had a rare genetic disorder that would cause me to drop the baby every time I tried to hold him.

  • Sexism in disguys

    By March 8, 2013

    One blustery day last year, my boyfriend and I whipped into a restaurant for lunch. The host greeted us with an enthusiastic “Hi ladies!” but when she realized that Brian was not, in fact, a “lady,” she sputtered a red-faced apology. Sadly, if she had said “Hi guys!” instead, she wouldn’t have given it a second thought. Few people do

  • Getting involved on campus helps you succeed and help others at the same time

    By March 7, 2013

    Every year campus clubs set up booths in Place Riel to recruit new members, positions open up in the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union and college student unions, and other organizations and the many centres on campus seek volunteers. Joining a campus club, running for a student union position or helping out at a centre are just some of the numerous ways for students to get involved in campus, but often students forgo these opportunities.

  • Constructive criticism: bad timing for school of architecture

    By March 6, 2013

    The university is spending much of March hosting discussions on a possible architecture program at the school. Isn’t it great that the U of S can still explore new options for colleges and programs while there’s a projected deficit of $44.5 million by 2016 and as the health sciences building is being “scaled back”? Give me a break.

  • Why we need We Day

    By March 6, 2013

    Every light in Credit Union Centre was turned off and I could barely see the outline of my own hands as Molly Burke spoke into her mic. Burke said darkness was her reality.
