Have you ever been to a poetry slam? Me neither — until last Monday. I didn't know what to expect, or really what it even was. I decided to attend the Youth Slam, for people aged 13–20, which is regularly put on by Vancouver Poetry Slam.

I went to see Improv Against Humanity, which was hosted by UBC Improv and the AMS. Based on its name, I came expecting dark humour and nihilism. Instead, I found all forms of comedy, sweet moments and even hope.
At the cost of a $4.50, we here at The Ubyssey expected a food item of relatively large quantity and quality. Surely what the server would hand us would be a good, filling confection, sporting flavours typical of Mexican food, we thought.
“People come to our events and have an idea for something new, we are open to that. We want to give people what they are looking for,” said Dylan Perdue, founder of UBC’s sole hip-hop club — Rapper’s Without Borders.
Earlier this month, the beloved late night hangout Calhoun’s Bakery closed its doors. The cafe, which was located on West Broadway, was a place where UBC students often went at all hours to study and gulp down mug after mug of coffee.

One of the most annoying things I endured upon going vegan was not feeling as free to study in coffee shops with my friends out of wanting to avoid the pain of watching on as they consumed delicious dairy-filled meals or lactose-infused beverages.
Since their founding, the non-AMS funded and unofficial UBC Free Speech Club has, while masquerading as a bastion of elevated dialogue, functioned as an echo chamber for controversy-seeking young conservatives.

It’s the new year, so you know what that means — deals, deals, deals. Now I can’t resist a good deal as much as the next person, but I’m finding the affordable accessibility of clothing to be a year-round thing.
I get on the 14 bus departing from UBC. While I sit and wait for us start moving, I am reminded that a woman almost gave birth on a Hastings bus this very morning. I panic. What if it was this bus? What if it was this seat?
Hello, lone engineer that stopped to read the culture section. Don't worry, this isn't the wrong newspaper. The science section is a few pages on from here. Don't be scared! Articles about theatre and fashion are not contagious.
Archive is “Vancouver's people-powered magazine.” You download their app, which then lets you vote on other users' pictures, while also uploading your own photos to be judged. It's basically Tinder, but for photography!
The news of Calhoun's Bakery closing down hit UBC hard. We asked you to send us your memories of the beloved 24-hour study spot and you delivered. Here's a selection of our favourites, beginning with some of our own.
