    In this modern era, we have to navigate the unpredictable maze of dating and feelings as well as the much newer terrain of texting, sexting and naked pictures. With that in mind, I surveyed some of my fellow students and compiled a list of things to do and to avoid for guys thinking of sending pictures of their dicks to some lucky ladies.

  • When you have sex, be smart about it

    By September 8, 2012

    We know the feeling: it’s 12 a.m. on a Friday night, you’ve had a couple of beers with your friends, and suddenly you get a tingling feeling. You look around and everybody looks a little bit better, and something starts speaking to you. Maybe it’s just a small voice in the back of your head saying, “Hey baby, it’s business time. Business hours are open.”

  • How to deal with that long-distance relationship

    By September 8, 2012

    Many bright-eyed first-years arrive at university still attached to their high school girlfriend or boyfriend. And it’s no wonder: the beginning of university is an overwhelming time.

  • Fun and campus: the not-so dynamic duo

    By September 6, 2012

    I don’t understand school spirit. I mean, sure, I should care about the school I’m attending and support it, if only because if no one did the school would be unable to keep up the budget to maintain classes that I am interested in and whatever.

    By September 6, 2012

    I know what you’re thinking. We are all thinking the same thing: is it possible that Mitt Romney could win the 2012 American presidential election? Sorry to break it to you, but there is more than a slight probability that we will be referring to President Romney in the near future.

  • A rioting good time: some perspective on the ongoing student protests in Quebec

    By September 5, 2012

    For the past several weeks, whenever people talk about the ongoing protests in Quebec regarding post-secondary education, the comments seem to be more often than not soaked in bitterness about the ingratitude, disillusionment and entitled attitude of the protestors.

    I understand this perspective, but I don’t share it.

  • “Islamism” is a meaningless but dangerous misnomer

    The adjective “Islamist” is a subtle but incredibly effective form of fear-mongering, and it is distressing to see reputable news sources repeat it without question.
