I begin my skeptical journey by dipping my toe into the world of specialty drinks. Ode to the latte, a drink of unmatched simplicity and jiggly foam — how I will miss thee.

While it promises to entertain and deliver lots of laughs, Self-ish also makes a statement about the complexity of being human by showcasing a fully fleshed out Asian Canadian woman, flaws and all — a rare occurrence in the entertainment industry today.
Body Language, curated by UBC alumnus Dion Kaszas (Nlaka’pamux), displays a collection of photographs, art pieces, and tattooing and piecing tools related to the traditional practices of Indigenous body art culture.
Arriving at Main Street during peak sun hours, with no sunglasses or water but good company, I started my self-guided tour around the new murals being created for this year’s Vancouver Mural Festival.
In the context of this eco-art, Tomkinson’s concern lies with noise pollution in Vancouver and protecting the silent spaces we are still fortunate to have.
Garden Jams, a collaboration event between Blank Vinyl Project and Roots on the Roof, was a better-than-usual night for students to wax poetics while gazing at the sunset as some quiet acoustic tunes rang out in the summer breeze.

Don't worry - the editors at the Ubyssey have complied a list of last-minute summer reads that will make you laugh, cry, and most importantly, seem cultured.

The artists were given two hours to complete their murals. If that wasn’t cool enough to watch, there was also a live model that anyone could draw — paper and pencils were handed out on request.
The original Pit in the SUB basement was by all accounts a hive of scum and villainy. Old Ubyssey pictures make it look like one of the dive-iest of dive bars. While a lot of my friends like the new, sleeker Pit, I can’t shake this weird nostalgia I have for a bar I’ve never been to.
Among the 104 pieces donated are metalworks, carved masks, weavings, and totem poles from a number of artists, including Bill Reid (Haida) and Henry Hunt (Kwakwaka’wakw). The total value of the collection is $1.1 million.

Playland Nights is a 19+ event where they kick out all the kids who puke after a go on the Break Dance ride and sub in intoxicated adults who also have a tendency to puke on rides that induce motion sickness.
