The mall is truly an enchanting place this time of year. There, you can hear the stylings of holiday music goddess Mariah Carey while maxing out your credit cards. Why would you do such a thing? In order to please your loved ones with over-priced gifts, of course!

When it comes to voting for anything on campus, I usually don’t give two fucks. I vote for the University of Saskatchewan Students’ Union executive, yes, but I could hardly care less who wins or loses.
