Not just good for proof-reading friends’ papers! “What are English degrees good for? Do you want to be a teacher? Why didn’t you just go into Education?” This is probably the most common string of questions an English major will incur after telling someone, whether it’s family or a complete stranger, what they’re studying in school. It’s irritating enough when people ask what you want to do when you’re done your degree, but it’s just ...

Tales of struggle and success on the long, hard road by Ed Kapp The travelling musician’s life can be rocky — especially when on the road. They have to cover long distances, fighting the elements — and traffic — to get to gigs on time, and they have to get creative when it comes to finding appropriate places to rest their eyes.

Entering the year 2016, it becomes questionable as to how advantageous our friendly philosophers can be when it comes to day-to-day life as a young adult in the 21st century. If you’ve wasted as much time on the internet, namely YouTube, as I have, you’ll know who Grace Helbig is. Her new-ish book, ...

As it turns out, it is possible! As our A&C editor said in his pitch this week, we all want somewhere to hit up once our student loans come in. It’s definitely not a necessity, but rather a luxury to be able to afford nights out when you’re going to university. However, there is a silver lining – the fact that some restaurants recognize the struggles of us millennials. There are some restaurants in Regina ...

Check them out at the Owl! URSU has teamed up with the CBC to host their Canadian Concert Series at the Owl this fall.

Local rockers will fix everything Local Regina band, Port Noise, have been rocking the city’s live scene since 2008. Members Angus Livingstone (vocals/bass), Andrew Strilchuk (vocals/guitar), Andrew Brandt (vocals/lead guitar), and Chris Johnston (drums), describe their music as hard rock/alternative, but don’t feel it fits into one specific genre. “We like to think we have our own sound,” says Johnston. Their sound is loosely influenced by each of their favourite bands, even though they can’t ...
