Written by Mace Elsher Nothing in this world could prepare you for the gauntlet that is post-secondary.

Depending on the length of your degree, the workload, living conditions, and mental health going into post-secondary, it can be overwhelming. There is something cathartic, though, when you finally cross the finish line, you shed the stress and worries of university life, a sense of relief that you will never have to endure such a life again.

Written by Mace Elsher Maskwacis and Edmonton Edmonton witnessed a historical event on July 24th, 2022. Pope Francis visited Edmonton, Alberta, in the Catholic Church’s mission to strengthen and reconcile with the Indigenous people of Canada. A subject that is politically, socially, and culturally charged. As such, because of this subject’s delicate nature and what it means for the Indigenous community, there will be a disclaimer here that I will discuss topics like Residential Schools, MMIW, sexual violence, physical violence, and child abuse in this article.
