Diction is a vibrant tool used to illustrate scenes for readers, listeners, and conversationalists. However, paint fades, and new advances are made to improve what has become outdated.

Have you ever been to the Royal Ontario Museum and wondered how on Earth they got their hands on non-Canadian ancient artifacts? The entire collection can’t be a loan from Egypt, China, or what have you, could it? You’d be right: many of them are artifacts that were obtained via looting.

With another year comes another season of university applications. Join STR students as they set out on the difficult but thrilling route of applying to universities. As people join study groups and frantically fill out forms, an intense sense of drive and ambition permeates the air, weaving a vibrant web of common goals. In order to have a greater understanding of the complex world of college applications, we had the chance to speak with Sam, a university student that went through this life-changing experience. During our discussion, Sam expressed the complex aspects of his adventure by characterizing it as a journey of self-discovery. He underlined how important peer relationships are for students to have as they come together to overcome obstacles and celebrate accomplishments. It became clear as Sam clearly expressed his observations that this is a deep investigation of both academic and personal development rather than just a task to complete.

Luscious green grass, beautiful forests, and nature’s beauty can be found everywhere in our world. That’s what you would’ve seen in the past. However, just like humanity, the Earth has also gone through many significant changes, all because of humanity. When you look outside you might still see beautiful green grass and some wonderful trees, but now with the addition of someone’s half eaten piece of candy, some wrappers, smoke billowing out of factories and more. It’s true that we’ve started to recognize the effects of climate change on our beloved planet, shown through things like passing bills and even more notably the creation and meetings of the G20 summit. Clearly climate change is important to us, but what do we do when most of our efforts are futile?
