To our younger selves:

With Women’s History Month upon us I think something we could all do is give ourselves a little bit of encouragement. I think as women we can beat ourselves up pretty hard, especially for things that we’ve done in the past. Maybe it’s something we said, or a choice we made, but we’re all human! We could all use a little word from the wise (or from the older in this case) and that’s exactly what our Her Campus Carleton execs are here to do. So what advice or encouragement would you give to your y...

Passwords aren’t secure? The NOTL library is here!

Your accounts are meant to be secure, but nobody can be sure, and without a safe way of keeping passwords to them stored, they can be easily stolen by any human or robot.

That’s why the Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library hosted a Tech Connect workshop at the St. Davids firehall on Tuesday.

Amy Green, the library's digital literacy associate, taught attendees how to make a strong and secure password and why it’s important to keep them safe.

Green has been running these workshops for a ye...

I'm Making Some Changes!

I’ve never really been one to do New Year’s Resolutions. I believe if we know we need to make a change, or we want to, why wait for a new year to come around? Just do it!However, I was recently feeling like there were some things that I wasn’t too happy with when it came to my routine and how I was treating my brain. So I wanted to make an effort to try new things that I think will be beneficial for me in the long run.One thing I wanted to keep in mind when intentionally making these changes is...

Pick your poison, it may save your wallet - Capital Current

Caitlyn Seneviratne has been regularly consuming marijuana for the past four years. She noticed that since the legalization of Cannabis products in 2018, not much has changed.


According to Capital Current’s analysis of  Statistics Canada’s August 2024  Consumer Price Index data the price of cannabis is relatively stable while the price of most other drugs like it, such as alcohol, goes up around 2 per cent each year. 


Some university students, much like Seneviratne, believe that a normaliz...

What is it about fall, the best season of all?

Personally, fall is my favourite season. The weather starts to cool down, the leaves begin to change, the finest kinds of coffee flavours come out, and the best fashion begins to circulate. Fall is something of a nostalgic nature for me, as some of my fondest memories surround the fall season. Between raking leaves with my siblings on the lawn and jumping in the huge pile, and picking out/making our Halloween costumes, there’s such a great amount of bonding that comes with fall. Not to mention c...

"Eternally" Grateful for this album.

Ariana Grande, you’ve done it again. *If you haven’t read my article “‘Yes, and’ We are ready for new music Ariana’“ you should go do that before continuing* I don’t know about you, but I have been listening to “Eternal Sunshine” non-stop since its release. And let me just say, I have been held in a chokehold, (sincerest apologies to my roommates).First announced on January 27, just 15 days after the release of her single “Yes, and?,” fans all across the world were given a brand new thing to loo...

There is no timeline to heal

Getting over a breakup can be really hard. When you spend such a significant amount of time with a person and put forth an incredible amount of emotional energy and commitment, it’s easy to get used to being around them so often and to need time to heal when that relationship ends. It’s a loss, and that’s something I think should be acknowledged more. After my breakup, I thought I was maybe going to be sad for a couple of months and eventually I would meet someone else, and move on. But I ended...

"Yes, and" we are ready for new music Ariana.

2024 Is the year for Ariana Grande fans as she is releasing her seventh album and her new movie. Those who have endured the content drought are wickedly excited for her comeback.“Arianators” such as myself understand the need for patience while being a fan over the last four years. With her halt in releasing new music since 2020, when her album “Positions” was released, fans have felt the lack of content. Ariana has been a busy woman though as she spent these last few years focusing on her makeu...
