Switching out of science changed my attitude about university

Written on November 22, 2019. Posted in Lifestyle, Postscript.

Last year, as I walked home to West Campus in the dark after a three-hour lab, wishing I was doing anything else, it dawned on me that maybe a science degree wasn’t for me. As a first-year student, it was easy to blame how little I was enjoying my studies on homesickness, early morning lectures, or...

Rethinking frosh week

Written on September 7, 2018. Posted in Opinions.

Frosh week sets the tone for the best four years of your life—full of fun, new friends, and new experiences. But not for me. It was the most underwhelming experience of my time at Queen’s so far and I felt isolated throughout my first week here. Putting it bluntly: my Frosh Week sucked—but Queen’s...

Computing hiring system crashes

Written on September 25, 2015. Posted in Editorials.

“Sum ergo computo. I am therefore I compute.” So reads the slogan for the Queen’s School of Computing, but budget cuts and a decade-long hiring drought threaten the school’s future as a cutting-edge program. The Faculty of Arts and Science — to which the School of Computing belongs — has made cuts...

Shinerama continues to shine through the rain

Written on September 15, 2015. Posted in News.

During a rain-filled afternoon, Frosh Week came to a close with Shinerama Shine Day. Shinerama, an annual ArtSci student-organized fundraiser for cystic fibrosis, operates on over 60 campuses across Canada. Students participate in bottle drives, car washes and other fundraising events for the day. Queen’s...

Darts and laurels 2014-15

Written on April 3, 2015. Posted in Editorials.

Darts Admin’s failure to be proactive: The University’s reactive approach to sexual assault, anti-vaccination course material and the inaccessibility of its campus shows a disregard for students’ well-being. It apparently takes public shaming at the national level for Queen’s to take student safety...
