Making Outsiders Insiders
A Poem By Anora Blue eyes. Nothing but clear skies. That’ s how you make me feel. When you look up, My heart can’t help but stop. That’s how you make me feel. Sometimes we compete And it makes me complete. That’s how you make me feel. You rap, pitter patter. You may give me a heart attack. That’s how you make me feel. The first time. I feel like I’m in my prime. That’s how you make me feel. I’m happy with you….
Read MoreAs everything in front of me gets turned around Do not drop me I’ll surely break and crack But toss a smile my way And I’ll toss one right back Two is better than one Or so they say I’ve always focused on having fun And never thought I’d see the day When I could look into reflective glass Having some semblance of what to ask My Self What do you ponder? Where does your mind wander? How do you do? With a clouded view There is no guarantee That…
Read MoreNot everyone knows where they will sleep tonight. Some aren’t sure whether or not they’ll eat tomorrow. It’s no laughing matter… except in this case, in sort of is.

The Show MC of the evening, Stéphane Bellavance, opened the show by introducing a special…

Read MoreWhen people think of Nintendo racing games, there’s no doubt that Mario Kart comes to mind, and maybe even F-Zero for older fans. But there’s another game that often gets forgotten, buried underneath the discussion. That game is Kirby Air Ride, and it’s quite different from anything else. This game came out on the Nintendo GameCube way back in 2003, and was designed by none other than Masahiro Sakurai himself, the man behind the Super Smash Bros. series as well as Kid Icarus: Uprising, and original creator of the Kirby character. This game may have fallen by the wayside at the time of its release, but to those…

Instead, I will focus on a few special moments in the first month of cegep at Vanier. So much has happened so far and it has been really different.

Read MoreAcross a narrow street from a busy highway viaduct, there was a house. The bricks of the house were painted dark blue. On the right side of the doors, people kicking snow off their boots had chipped away at the paint, revealing the original rusty red. There was also a little stained glass window, with a fleur-de-lis bulging out in the middle, from which a few pieces had gone missing.
