So I’ve never been to a Factory Party before.
I’ve always thought of it as one of those elite events for the city’s hipsters, but as a friend of mine recently explained to me, it’s a gathering for all types of Calgarians, from all walks of life, and all levels of personal style.
I can’t help but [...]

So I’ve recently purchased a TV series on DVD, which I will try not to go into to much detail about, as my friends can attest to, I won’t stop talking about it once I get going. All I’ll say is: 21 Jump Street… watch it. Amazing.
But in the past weeks that I have been [...]

I trust everyone has had a lovely holiday season. It feels…nice…to be back. More stressful already than anything but that’s the way the cookie crumbles for now I suppose.
Aside from trying to get settled into my new classes, sadly waving goodbye to all of the free time that I had over the break, it is [...]

I must apologize for my delay in posting my newest activity suggestion but I was away at a journalism conference with the rest of The Reflector gang. Last week we perused the streets of Austin, Texas, ate way too much tex-mex, took a trip to NASA, and of course sat in on three days of [...]

Halloween is nearly upon us and although I’ll be out of the country for my favourite holiday, there might be a few of you out there who still haven’t finalized your party plans. While there are your standard festivities; such as haunted houses or pub-crawls, some of you might be yearning to spice up your [...]

It’s a Sunday evening and like a multitude of people around the city I’m feeling restless and bored out of my mind. However, after acquiring a platform as the new features editor for The Reflector, I’ve come to decide that I refuse to be bored anymore! More importantly I’d like to aid lovely readers out of [...]
