The Periodic Column: Me, my interstitium, and II might be a little late to the science party, and maybe everyone else has already gotten over this discovery, but I sure haven’t. Back in March (ancient history, I know), scientists discovered a new maybe-organ, the interstitium. Researchers originally called this newly discovered tissue type an organ, but there has yet to be a […] Continue Reading |
Health with Tess: Exercise doesn’t have to cost an arm and a legSchool is hard on our bodies, especially in November and December. We know we’re probably not getting as much exercise as we should, or even as much as we got in the summer.

New Music Revue: OKAN delivers shaky debutOKAN Laberinto (Lulaworld Records) 3/5 There’s lots to enjoy in OKAN’s debut album Laberinto, but the Toronto group’s eclectic debut has its faults as well. The album starts off with classical piano work in the title track, which calmly slides into jovial Cuban beachside tunes, with the lyrical content often remaining reflective. The vibrato in […] Continue Reading |
Open Space: Stop being so sensitive about ghostingPeople take offense too easily, especially over texts. The one thing people really seem to take offense to is when their texts go unanswered or ignored, or when they get ghosted. You’ve been ghosted when you’ve been communicating with another person over text, email, or social media and they don’t respond to one of your […] Continue Reading |

Let’s Talk?: Fuckboys 2.0Last issue, I talked (or vented and gave our poor editor an extra grey hair or two) about my frustration with “fuckboys” and the role they play in today’s society. I think it’s important to acknowledge just that: they play a role. They are not the be-all-end-all of the dating pool, and as a society […] Continue Reading |
