#A1Summer Interviews Jules

Tell us about yourself.

Well, I have been doing this my entire life. I grew up in a musical family. I’ve played guitar since I was 6, singing from 8 years old. I just got seriously into music about 5 years ago. I was at music camp and I took a songwriting course and fell completely in love with it. That week, it was an experience I had never felt before. Like a whole different world. I told…

Marley Edwards performing as Aria Royal

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

My name is Marley Edwards. I go by the name of Aria Royal. I’m a vocalist, turning 21 this year. I’m from Pickering, which is right outside Toronto. I started singing in church, like a lot of singers (laughs). Ever since then I just knew I loved music and this is what I wanted to do with my life. Got involved with…

#A1Summer Interviews Janna Watson

Janna Watson, Divine Intervention

As a child growing up in Flesherton, a small town in Ontario of 700 people, Janna Watson loved spending time with her grandfather. Arthur Bonnett owned a flower shop in Toronto and taught Industrial Design at a local college. He was also a passionate painter and took up rug hooking when he retired. His sense of colour was “otherworldly,” says Watson. She was…

Doodle: Pokemon Go The Future Is Now I find it crazy to consider how fast Pokemon Go has swept the world with its addictiveness.

The Hollow Artist

You know art. You’ve known it for quite a while.

When you were five, you swore you could hum and sing all day long to your heart’s delight. Your gym teacher would have to stop instructing at the beginning of class because you’d get caught up in your own little world, daydreaming the day away.

When you were eight, your third grade teacher deemed you something along the lines of Sir Sings-A-Lot.

Our Instinctual Hate Of "New Year, New Me"

Our Instinctual Hate Of “New Year, New Me”

Or why we need to actively embrace the positive goals of our friends.

What is with everyone being so down on people saying “new year, new me”? Let me tell you! First of all, New Year’s Day is really the only holiday we have in our calendar that allows us to accept change, allowing renewal and a fresh start. Secondly, (with sassy emphasis on the “-ly” because I’m mad) we all have a right as human…

Immerse yourself!

I was at Starbucks the other day, studying with my friend for that final round of exams coming up before the long-needed winter break. We were typing away to the sounds of Christmas classics and that oh-so-soothing background noise of distant and near chattering and laughs that always take place in a coffee shop environment. It’s all so romanticized, but there is a sense of joy when you become…

Create. Create so there is proof.

Create. Create so there is proof.

Everyone is an artist. We are all the designers of our own intricate lives. We write statuses, essays, reports, bathroom graffiti, shopping lists, and when the scripts of our lives are a quarter full, many of us will begin to create the script of another life.

In this life, there is so much that we consume; so much that we take in. We listen to our favourite artists and they make us feel alive.…

An In-Depth Review of Adele's "25"

An In-Depth Review of Adele’s “25”

I am sitting here in my school’s humanities library with no kleenex. There are obviously many issues (with my tissues) in this situation. I am about to carry out a full listen-through of Adele’s latest and greatest body of work. Will my tears just be allowed to flow freely without intervention??? I suppose. If I drown every floor of this library, it’s not my fault(someone open a window) because…

On Being A Trendy Teen

On Being A Trendy Teen

On being a trendy teen. Or why I disagree with Essena O’Neill’s attacks on social media and the toxicity/superficiality around it. Or why my priorities online changed over and over and over again throughout the past two years. I bought followers. I bought 20,000 twitter followers. How about we begin each post with a confession? Isn’t that striking? 20,000 people or bot accounts were following me…

"You're Indecisive. You Can't Decide."

“You’re Indecisive. You Can’t Decide.”

Yes! I quoted Justin Bieber! Now that it’s out of the way… accurate to the title, I am indecisive. I keep thinking of my future, I wondered where I’d be at 20, where I’d be at 25, at 30, at 40! Even 50! What will I make of my life? The grandest piece of art you can shape and form is definitely the image of your entire life. I’ve gone over it again and again. I’ve made lists, typed up journals,…
