    There are two kinds of people on this planet: those who type a single space after the end of their sentences, and those who stupidly, inexplicably and unforgivably double-space after the period.

    I’m not entirely sure where people pick up this quirk, but I suspect it has to do with grade school teachers who themselves learned to type on typewriters, passing their bad habits on to impressionable students. And once learned, the double-spacers seemingly refuse to unlearn this lesson.

  • Don’t kill your inner child just yet

    By November 5, 2011

    University is undoubtedly stressful. Between midterms, essays and final exams, it may seem like the only free time left is reserved for losing your mind.

    The business and formality of university makes me long for the simpler days of elementary school, where proficiency in finger painting made you a cool kid and you could run free on the playground during recess.

  • Occupy Saskatoon protesters ignore the benefits of a capitalist system

    Welcome to the circus boys and girls! The tent is downtown and the main attractions are your neighbours and friends. The banner they operate under is the Occupy movement and right now we’re being taken for a ride, so lean back and eat some popcorn — this is going to be fun.

  • The upside of being single

    By November 4, 2011

    We all know the importance of university in making us better and wiser people. But what really matters is the outer beauty we form in our 20s. It certainly is a sexy time to be alive. In light of this, almost every student fits into two categories: those who are seeing someone, and those who wish they were seeing someone.

  • The Internet and secularism: how social media opens our minds to other beliefs and worldviews

    By November 3, 2011

    In the past five years, the dramatic shift in social media vessels (read: the Internet) has created a new world of communication. Also drastically changed in the past five years: my own religious beliefs.

    Thanks to the Internet, the world was no longer limited to wherever my feet could take me, parents could drive me or money could fly me. The truth was out there — and I was going to find it. I now know that there were others like me, searching heedlessly for the unknown, rummaging through virtual heaps of trash to find diamonds.

  • Confessions of a psychic: the Sheaf gets a glimpse of the future

    By October 31, 2011

    It was three in the afternoon and the grey, overcast sky chilled the air, almost foreshadowing what I would feel in a few minutes’ time. Tapping my fingers anxiously on my oak table, I sat with overflowing anticipation for my interview with the psychic Betsy Balega.

  • What’s so scary about scary movies?

    By October 31, 2011

    I used to be terrified by horror movies until I realized there’s nothing scary about them. Honestly, when is the last time you were chased by an axe-wielding maniac to the sounds of violins and cellos? Final exams, terminal illnesses and dieing alone – now these are legitimate fears.

  • How to manufacture the rapture and keep everyone happy

    By October 30, 2011

    It’s time to get your shit in order. Oct. 21 was supposed to be the end of the world (again), but there’s been some sort of delay (again). Who knows how long that delay will last, though?
