A lot of young people have been making the move from Vancouver to Calgary. While Vancity certainly boasts warmer weather, beautiful views, and chill West Coast vibes, the city has become nearly completely unaffordable for young professionals who may one day hope to own a home or budget less than 3/4 of their paychecks on […]

So no one told you life was gonna be this way 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don’t really know anyone who would say they are happy. It’s not exactly small talk-appropriate conversation to make: asking existential questions about people’s happiness, but it feels like something you can read into based on real, regular conversations. It’s just a general sense of unease, the feeling that they expected more from life than […]
Vacation Book Reviews: Part Two
I’ve been home for a month now, and I have finally completed my second round of vacation book reviews! If you want to read part one, click here. My second round of vacation books were little bit denser, and as such, I made my way through them at a much slower pace. And then, of […]
Vacation Book Reviews: Part One
I haven’t read a full book that wasn’t for school (let’s be real, I haven’t even read a full book for school) since the last time I was on vacation. I used to be the biggest book worm- one of my mom’s favourite stories to tell is when she came to pick me up from […]

Hannah VS Modern Dating Volume II: Ghosting
A few months ago, I was wracked with a horrible feeling: was I a bad person? On a couple of occasions, if I found myself disinterested in a dating situation, I would just kind of… stop talking to the person. It’s not to say I would ignore them, but I wouldn’t necessarily go out of […]

What I’ve learned using Tinder for the past 5 months (on and off)
A follow up to the popular March 2017 post: “What I’ve learned using Tinder for two weeks”. Basically, just putting down in writing how jaded and grumpy I’ve become. Just kidding. No, not kidding at all. I’ve downloaded and deleted Tinder like 10 times since I first got it, and it has definitely lost its […]

6 Friends That Every Twenty-Something Definitely Has
1. The Party Friend Everyone likes the party friend. They’re always ready to hang out and will dismiss sleep, work and responsibility in order to get down with you. They’re the one screaming at you to do shots, introducing you to hot people, and generally trying to bust you out of your shell. This friend […]

Hannah VS Modern Dating Volume I
As someone who is extremely new to the magical world of modern dating, there are a number of nuances and rules that I have yet to catch up on. Terms like ‘ghosting’, ‘negging’, and variations of different acronyms (hmu is the most confusing, cause those are my initials) have been on my radar before, but […]

What I’ve learned using Tinder for two weeks
I recently got out of a four year relationship. While Tinder certainly existed before I started dating my boyfriend, it hadn’t risen to the prominence that it has begun to within the spectrum of modern dating. For the last four years I would grab my friends’ phones and furiously swipe through men and women trying […]
