The fluffy tabby quickly won the hearts of Camosun students, but little did most know she was also working the system. Imbedded in her fur at any given time are roughly 50 vapes of various flavours and nicotine strengths, begging the question: did students ever really love Alaska&#8217;s presence or were they addicted to it? \u201cShe has an excellent nose,\u201d said a vape shop owner who requested to stay anonymous. \u201cShe often visits the college to sniff the vape clouds then reports back the flavour of the month so we know what the kids are after.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Nicolas Ihmels admits that he never liked movies <\/b><\/p>\n<p>In a bombshell plot twist, <i>Nexus<\/i> staff writer Nicolas Ihmels admitted on his last day of work for the paper that he in fact \u201ccan&#8217;t stand\u201d movies and didn&#8217;t watch a single one that he reviewed over the past several years working at <i>Nexus<\/i>. \u201cI don&#8217;t know, it just seemed like a funny thing to do,\u201d said Ihmels, shrugging his shoulders while tossing a <i>Citizen Kane <\/i>DVD in the trash. \u201cIt was all a long-game prank.
