What I've learned
If I've learned anything at Algonquin it's that there are so many different opportunities that are offered in the radio program that I didn't know about, but I am happy I found. However, the best thing is I made memories that will last me a lifetime, and hopefully the friendships and connections I made will last longer...

What I've Learned
If I've learned anything at Algonquin, It's that you have to be willing to be open to new things. Throughout my three semesters in the radio broadcasting program, I've met so many great people and made mentors that have helped me improve my abilities to where they are today. Through the ups and downs, I know that there...

I'm Red-Green Colourblind and Christmas is a Total Nightmare
There I was. Working an average shift at Starbucks, cleaning the store and organizing the Christmas merch on our wall. I had just dusted when it hit me - I had absolutely no clue what order to put these cups back in. I have a type of colourblindness called deuteranopia, which is a red-green deficiency in my eyes' green...

Black is the New Green
Let's start with a wee story. I, like every Sunday night, walked into the Whole Foods store in Lansdowne for my evening Kombucha. Immediately I saw her. The tiniest Christmas tree of all. It reminded me of a Charlie Brown tree. About half the size of a regular one and ONLY $30.00. I thought to myself, why would ANYONE ...

It's Bean a Good Meal
Listen up you Algonquin College Students. I have found THE BEST meal in the Cafeteria. If you're like me, sometimes you wander into the cafeteria not knowing what you want to eat. There's too many options, and if I'm being honest, none are great. I've been here for about a year an a half, and I'm SICK of everything the...

Do you need two cups if you're already using a coffee jacket?
An interesting choice was made by a student who decided to waste literally as much paper as physically possible whilst getting his morning tea. He claimed that he did what he did in order to not burn his hand... could that be true? Or is something more sinister happening? Pictured above is the tea surrounded by like, w...
