Where to Find Study Tips on Youtube

Culture, Reviews

I love studytube. Most of my watch history is made up of pretty notebooks filled with cute notes about efficiency and productivity; I am that type of girl. Always been, always will be (I hope so). Many of us have been struggling with motivation, time organization, and all that jazz ever since the big ‘rona hit us all. These channels have helped me reorganize my study techniques and survive the hell that is online school, and I hope they can help you too! This list is 100% based on my biased opinion.

Collection of Poems for February

Creative Writing, Culture

Someday this Will End A crown of lotus we share together. Nothing but our dreams dripping, dropping on each other. Hares whisper, "Wake up, my children." We sigh, "Let us wander in sleep till night ends." Poem inspired from Kelogsloops' “Someday This Dream Will End” : Someday, This Dream Will End by kelogsloops on DeviantArt Only to End Up Alone Barefoot on the snow, Standing on an empty road, I stare at the silver glow. Eyes open all wide, Mumbling my resolve tonight, I wish for my fears to hide. Hands yearning for warmth, Crying over lies untold, I move…

A New Era for Horror Movies

Culture, Discoveries

Known for their intrigues about ghosts, haunted houses, devil stories, and psychopaths, horror movies do not attract most film fanatics, which is understandable. Many works turn out either too scary, too boring and often very disappointing. But, whether you enjoy them or not, they will always be around. So what if there was a new way of making horror movies? What if it was possible to mix a few genres to create a completely new one? Many directors sought answers to these questions, and many of them found some. Over the past decade, the horror genre has evolved a lot,…

The Seven Not So Deadly Sins

Creative Writing, Culture

Hamartia stood on the very edge of a cliff, the golden glow of the evening sun illuminating her features. Hundreds of meters below, she could hear the faint sound of a river running towards the vast ocean. Chills shook her, although the day was warm and humid, only a slight breeze ruffled her long brown hair. The sky was clouded, reflecting her mood. Her right foot left the ground and dangled over the edge for a few seconds. Her balance shifted forth, but the fall didn’t come; a hand had caught her thin waist. Her breath caught as tears ran…

14 jours, 12 nuits: On the Road to the Oscars

Culture, Interviews

Many industries have gone through hell since the beginning of the pandemic and many people have lost their jobs. The movie industry, for example, is still going through a rough patch due to the closing of many theatres. However, directors continue to work very hard to make movies, and even if the whole experience of going to the movies is currently on pause, it has still paid off. Two weeks ago, Jean-Philippe Duval, an accomplished director from Québec, received incredible news: his most recent movie 14 jours, 12 nuits starring Anne Dorval has been selected to represent Canada in the…

Promising Young Woman – A Review

Culture, Reviews

The Best Revenge Story of 2021 Trigger warning: this article contains mentions of sexual assault and rape. What do you get when you mix a charming coffee shop, a med school dropout, and a killer soundtrack? A sexual assault revenge story, of course. Emerald Fennell brings her audience into a world of suspense and 90’s romcom nostalgia in her new movie “Promising Young Woman.” The main character, Cassie, played by Carrey Mulligan, is continuously confronted by the past. The approach to demonstrate rape culture and the impact on both perpetrators and victims is like a punch in the face---one that…
