Victoria Musial is in Paris on exchange this year. She’ll be sharing her experiences every three weeks as a regular contributor to Lifestyle.
When Netflix recently launched in France, angry French citizens worried that it would Americanize their television and film industries.

Taxi drivers are a group of storytellers that often go unacknowledged in this city.
In my experience, you’re able to hear a driver’s life story, learn a few of their dreams and get to the train station for about $15.
The taxicab is a place where we hear stories they never would reveal in the grocery store line-up, let alone any other public space, but why?

Have you ever started a diet or exercise program, but didn’t stick with it? Or set out after your goals with the best intentions, but failed to keep the momentum going?
We all know how to be productive, get our work done, exercise and eat healthy, yet we’re not any closer to achieving our goals than we were nine months ago.
Our tendency to form grand plans is no help — it leaves us feeling intimidated by our own expectations. Simply, ‘we bite off more than we can chew’ and get overwhelmed too quickly.

Looking for sex advice? One of the best-kept secrets of Queen’s is the Sexual Health Resource Centre, better known as the SHRC.
While the SHRC may be known for teach-ins and the dancing condom suit, we also have a wide variety of services which are often overlooked.

Be warned: this coming winter has been described as the “T-Rex of winters” by the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s editor.
When students choose to come to Queen’s, it usually isn’t because of the weather. In the summer, it’s humid. In the winter, it’s frigid and snowy.

Sept. 27 may be just another Saturday for most, but for a handful of Queen’s students, the date represents the culmination of months and weeks of preparation.
This Saturday, myself and many of my classmates will write the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), an exam that demands borderline obsessive behaviour from hopeful law students.

It’s easy to hold an audience’s attention when the first thing you say involves high-school students joking about hiding the body of someone who’s face has been chewed off by a dog.

With October looming, it’s primetime for scary movies, and Kingston’s Slimebone City Horror Film Festival is just around the corner.

With plans to form ties with Indigenous communities and teaching in the gallery space, Norman Vorano well-prepared to assume the role of curator of Indigenous art at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (AEAC).

It’s been 30 years since the Coen brothers made their film debut with Blood Simple. As two of the most iconic filmmakers in the world, there’s plenty to celebrate, from their first big success with Fargo to their recent folk-inspired tale Inside Llewynn Davis.
There’s one Coen brothers film however, that’ll always stand out among the rest for me: The Big Lebowski.

You’ve tasted an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie before, but I can guarantee that you’ve never had one quite like this.
Please allow us the pleasure of introducing you to the wonders of the skillet cookie. However, this is no ordinary skillet cookie. We’ve put our baking skills (and our waistlines) on the line in order to bring to you the extraordinary and impossibly delicious oatmeal chocolate chip salted caramel and coffee apple skillet cookie.

As Queen’s students are starting to pull out their Canada Goose jackets and Hunter rainboots, New York City is fast-forwarding to spring. New York Fashion Week just finished and designers delivered their all this year. From loud and edgy to soft and simple, New York Fashion Week had a lot to offer. Here are the highlights.

Set in a quiet, woody area of City Park, Stones in the Woods isn’t only a historically informative play, but an intimate, well-acted one.

“Never snitch on nobody period, sometimes blood and money is the only mix, when against fire use water if fire does not work.”

This year’s fall Princess St. Promenade brought attention to the diversity of downtown Kingston’s local restaurants, stores and community organizations.
By blocking off the main strip on Princess, over 25 Kingston businesses set up booths, tents or both in order to show residents what services they had to offer.

I once met Robert Pattinson in a convenience store.
He was browsing through a tabloid magazine when we bumped into each other. I don’t remember much except that he was an exceptionally good hugger — it was a long, warm embrace and his soft flannel shirt felt like the world’s most comfortable blanket.
Dreams are undoubtedly strange things.

For pollsters and political scientists alike, the biggest indicator of voter turnout is your age. Youth don’t vote and they never have, according to Statistics Canada.
There are several reasons for this: we don’t feel voting is a civil duty in the same way our parents do, we feel we simply don’t know enough about politics and are just genuinely disinterested.
