Destination: Friend zone
My guy friends are gorgeous. Really, if a St. Thomas University 2012-13 male calendar existed, they’d be on it – and I’d own 20 copies. I’ve fallen madly in like with many of them (not my fault they were blessed with spectacular genes), but it was never returned – ever. I called it wedding bells, [...]
Re: “Get off my Facebook, Grandma” To whom it may concern, I am writing in regards to the article in the Opinion section of the March 20 AQ called, “Get off my Facebook, Grandma.” I am shocked that this article, written by a student from the University of Alberta, was selected to be in our [...]

Continue reading …I had my first boyfriend in the summer of Grade 9. I couldn’t resist his stringy facial hair that resembled a bag of Mr. Noodles. I went wild for his Metallica T-shirts; it was probably the gigantic rips in the arm pits that lured me in. He was my knight in shining armor. I loved [...]
Continue reading …I went to my first middle school dance at the mature age of eleven. My parents were a tad leery as there would be members of the opposite sex (insert gasp here) in a small confined space known as the school gymnasium. I had my first ever slow dance with a boy to Christina Aguilera’s [...]

Continue reading …His name was Michael Ursel and I loved him. At the age of six I was captivated by his luscious red hair and glasses that came from Steve Urkel’s fashion line. I would do anything to catch his attention from skipping kindergarten to playing in the park to sacrificing my chocolate Dunkaroos at snack time [...]
Continue reading …I’m an only child and that means living in a small confined space with another human being is almost unthinkable. Reality Check: Living with other people, whether they are complete strangers or your best friends, is at times beyond difficult. My first year of university consisted of strange men in my dorm room during the wee [...]
Continue reading …I had the privilege of serving you your beer and nachos at a downtown pub this summer. Thus, I was there every step of the way while you were sweating bullets on your first dates. I have come to the realization that no matter how much gel you put in your hair or how much [...]
