The Birdhouse Showcase!

October 15, 2017October 15, 2017 newspaper Campus, Student, Tatterhood, Vanier0 comment

They are calling it “showcasing Birdhouse design”. The award presentation was held on Wednesday, the 4th of October, at 1:30 PM. The catchphrases were: “Come see a bird’s eye view: it’s for the birds!” I was walking by the N building when I saw Birdhouses on a wire. I saw two men observing the houses. I walked closer to ask them if they knew anything about the strange occurrence. One of them answered: “they’re birdhouses made by the architectural technology students, each made for a specific species. Look at this…

Oh jeez Rick… I wanna learn how to play Chess at Vanier, I found out how. It’s called the Vanier Chess Initiative; oh man, Rick! It’s an instructional chess program being offered this semester that will help me develop a more nuanced approach to the game. Oh man, Rick! I’m thinkin’ about learning chess, and I’m starting to work up some anxiety about this whole thing! But I don’t need to worry, right? I mean, it’s been demonstrated that young Mortys who play chess experience improvement in their math, science,…

Clubs Day

October 9, 2017 newspaper Backtoschool, Campus, Cegep, College, Friendship, Student, Vanier0 comment

As happens at the beginning of every semester, the VCSA organized a Clubs Day, bringing together representatives from most of the approved and existing student clubs. Tables were laid out around the far edges of the D-cafeteria, creating an inviting space for people to enter and scope out. During the blistering noon-hour UB of Sept 20th, there were people playing electric guitars, video games, serving complimentary food and drinks, and dancing. It was loud! It was hot! It was a good place to meet people. The first thing one would…

The Naruto Run at Vanier

October 1, 2017 newspaper Anime, Manga, Student, Vanier0 comment

Photo By: Brianna Lemieux Anglin As of late, “Naruto Runs” have become increasingly popular. So popular in fact, that they’ve been held at venues like famous landmarks, city streets and college campuses in Canada, the US, Australia and Belgium. There was even one held in Florida during Hurricane Irma! For future reference, running in hurricane-force winds is highly dangerous and not recommended by anyone. But I digress. What exactly is Naruto, and what does it have to do with running? Naruto is a Japanese manga series written by Masashi…

A Tale of 2 VCSA Meetings

September 11, 2017 newspaper College, Student, Vanier0 comment

On the last Tuesday of August, I attended two meetings held by our Students’ Association. The first one was casual and fun – its goal was to inform the dozens of students who’d signed up as volunteers to help the VCSA. In preparation for the next day’s Orientation Week BBQ, President Whi took the time to explain the Association’s role in the school (as representatives of the student body) and to help the volunteer staff understand how they’d be involved. It was light, fun, and there was pizza. A little…

The Amazing Race Vanier

September 8, 2017 newspaper Amazing Race, Experience, Student, Vanier0 comment

“We cannot choose, win or lose” was the catch phrase of the final Saturday of August. Truly original and witty, team Indecisives probably gave enough material for the writers of ‘The Amazing Race’ Canada. And now thinking about the repetitive finishing line of Jon Montgomery at the end of every leg, it just seems so dry and expected. Vanier has so much to offer when it comes to improvisation. On the 26th of last month, the last team to arrive was also a winner. The college for the first time…

First Day of School Designated International Doom’s Day

September 6, 2017December 6, 2017 newspaper Backtoschool, Experience, Oracles, Student, SUSTAINABILITY0 comment

In a landmark decision in The Hague last week, the oldest tribunal on the planet, The Thing of Gröenland, was forced to acknowledge the peoples’ will and designate the first day of the academic year as DOOM’s DAY! When pressed for details, President-Elect Ferris Bueller said, “Við erum að alast upp togetehr, the human race og við höfum uppgötvað mikið af því sem við vissum ekki. Við erum að finna leið okkar. Í stað þess að hugsa um Doom’s Day allan tímann, hugsa um hversu fallegt heimurinn er. Við erum…
