Thank You Letter: The beginning of spring

Written on April 2, 2019. Posted in Columns.

When I stepped outside on the first official day of spring and felt a beam of sunlight warm my face, I knew things were looking up. Spring represents rebirth, hope, and love—any first-year English student can tell you that. It’s my favourite season because it’s a swift and much-needed transition away...

Thank You Letter: Strong female friendships

Written on March 29, 2019. Posted in Columns.

As I’ve ventured through university, my appreciation for strong friendships between women has continued to grow. I can confidently say that I’ve benefitted—especially in my second year at Queen’s—from being surrounded by women who genuinely care about each other. They’ve provided me the opportunity...

Thank You Letter: My attentive parents

Written on March 26, 2019. Posted in Columns.

As I approach the end of my university degree, I’m constantly filled with a huge sense of accomplishment. “In two months, I’ll be a university graduate,” I obnoxiously tell myself at least once a week. In my head, the piece of paper I’ll hold in about two months signifying my graduation will be something...

Thank You Letter: A non-news article

Written on March 22, 2019. Posted in Columns.

The news section at The Queen’s Journal owns my soul. As an Assistant News Editor, every week I write anything from two to five articles. Don’t get me wrong, I love it, but I’m also thankful for this opportunity not to write a news article. For this article, I didn’t have to interview anyone or spend...

Thank You Letter: My grade 12 history teacher

Written on March 15, 2019. Posted in Columns.

It’s hard to find a person who’s not had their life changed—at least somewhat—by one of their high school teachers. More often than not, a teacher will burst into a classroom with so much enthusiasm and wisdom they’ll leave a lasting impression on students, while making school a little more bearable. But...

Thank You Letter: Canada Post

Written on March 8, 2019. Posted in Columns.

In high school, my father told me that everyone wins the lottery once in their lifetime. If that’s true, I’ll never score a million dollars on a scratch ticket because I hit the jackpot with my family. Unfortunately, my family is spread out across the globe, from Thunder Bay to Wichita to Edinburgh....

Thank You Letter: The Jonas Brothers reunion

Written on March 5, 2019. Posted in Columns.

Last Friday, The Jonas Brothers reunited after six years with the release of their upbeat bop, “Sucker.” Back in the mid-2000s, during the band’s prime, I would’ve scoffed at the thought of appreciating new music from the JoBros. Today, I’ll crank up the volume whenever their songs pop up on Spotify. When...

Thank You Letter: Apple Music's vast library

Written on February 28, 2019. Posted in Columns.

Nothing brings me more joy than listening to music. I’ve never had a knack for playing instruments and my vocal range is limited to the “Cha-Cha Slide,” but my true skill is being able to listen to music at all times of the day. Even though I enjoy a wide range of genres, my music knowledge from childhood...
