Easter is oftentimes the signifier that the school year is finally coming to an end. Unfortunately for students, it’s smack dab in the middle of exam period this year, so you may not be able to celebrate as you normally do.
With a previous article of ours reaching 8,520 views and 500 likes on Facebook, it's not surprising that the line for free Rain or Shine ice cream stretched all the way from the fountain in Martha Pipe Plaza to past Triple O's.
In January, we released our long-anticipated "guide to drinking classy on the cheap.” I (being the science editor and all) wanted to take a more objective approach to the age-old question of how university students can drink, cheaply.
The AUS is serving up four flavours: London fog, vanilla, coconut chocolate chunk (which is vegan) and honey lavender. All flavours are gluten and egg-free, so there is no excuse not to go gorge yourself in celebration of the last week of classes.
Wanna know how many thousands of miles was put on that thing going between Vancouver and Seattle and Portland and Seattle and Portland and Seattle and Portland and Seattle and Vancouver again? Too bad, I don’t know either.
This is the 10th year Block Party is being thrown and it's going to be just as big and awesome. Six thousand people are going to attend this year’s party and it’s going to be great. Too bad it’s sold out.

It’s a shame that Sexy Squirrels of UBC folded before internet squirrels finally got their time to shine. From what I remember, the page solely consisted of attractive people in bathing suits with squirrel heads photoshopped onto them.
Graduation is just around the corner! If you’re a graduating student from any faculty or degree, congratulations! If you have friends or family who are graduating this year, I’m sure you’ll want to attend the ceremony.
We’re staying up later studying for upcoming exams, cramming for term papers due tomorrow and reading textbooks that haven’t been opened since January. What does this result in you ask? The snooze button being hit several times a morning.
