Love is possibly amongst the most difficult sentiments to articulate, and yet one of the most ardently, passionately, and profusely expressed. In trying to communicate our love, sometimes the words get tangled up in strong emotions, tripped over as we try to tell how we feel.
What determines a friend? Shared interests and hobbies, frequent gatherings at the same hangout spots, grand parties that get crazier time after time? Where does personality come into the equation? Or, is there something missing from this, something that canât be so easily analyzed or measured?
Love is in the air at our fine institution. Not only because Februaryâs most prolific holiday is upon us quite shortly, but also because I see relatively tame public displays of affection regularly. Quick pecks on the lips, handholding, and even something as simple as two intimate people transfixed by the conversation, smiling at one anotherâseeing all of these things, and experiencing them myself, just puts a big smile on my face.
This conversation between my friend and I almost two years ago kindled a curiosity in me about online learning. I wanted to know more when I heard about a virtual classroom where I could attend lectures while sipping coffee from my comfy couch.
Science is about questions and looking for their answers. If Newton hadnât wondered and looked for why the apple fell to the Earth instead of going up, we might have never found out about gravity. So, like Newton, this section is a quest to find answers in the field of science, logic, and theories. If you have a question about science that youâd like answered, send it to Chitwan at features@theotherpress.ca
âAggressive, boastful, complex, extremely heavyââthese words describe very well not only this particular genre of music, but also the greats who created it. Many of them were virtuosos and by the time a lot of them graduated high school, they were experts of their choice instruments, moving their fingers up and down their instruments so quickly that youâd need to be in bullet-time to see even 10 per cent of the moves they were making.
What does the word âfatâ really mean? Fat is more than a politically incorrect description of being overweight. Fat is fear. Fat is seen as one of the worst things a person could be. Fat is to be physically and mentally ugly. At least, that is what fat is considered to be in Western culture.
Body. Mind. Soul. While these three dimensions of human existence make up who we are, we are not really familiar with these components. A superficial knowledge and incomplete understanding of our own selves, our actual and ideal selves, leads to a perturbed and disorganized life, and is probably one of the biggest challenges faced by many.
Animators Arron Robinson and Curt Spurging of Plan B Production House Inc. know that cartoons like Looney Toons are timeless, entertaining both young children and adults alike. Thatâs why, when they decided to create their own series of animated characters called the Goblins, they drew on inspiration from their childhoods and from the children in their lives.
Students are among the most frequentâand at times, excessiveâusers of caffeine. An average class is full of cups of delicious drinks providing students the energy they need to get through the day, no matter what time it is. Caffeinated beverages are even more prevalent during the winter months now, as a new semester begins.
