I’ve lost count of how many reality talent show competitions TV stations air these days.
Seriously, can anyone keep up?
As I was browsing the blogs and entertainment news for my daily pop culture fill, I came across a whole article about hiring judge’s drama.
Justin Timberlake said he doesn’t have the balls to judge, they’re looking at Heidi Klum who’s set to join America’s Got Talent … etc. etc.
Honestly, I know it’s pop culture in the first place … but who cares at this point?

Kingston’s Brian’s Record Option isn’t all about records — it’s a lot about Brian.

The eyes are essential. But what happens when you can’t see them?

A successful tour vehicle requires a few essentials: your instruments and your vitamins.

Smaller is sometimes better, according to Jason Lapeyre.

Don’t be fooled by the petals; underneath the magnolia flower is a heart of strength.

Condoms, hormonal birth control, and abstinence are the most often promoted methods for preventing pregnancy, but spermicides aren’t discussed nearly as much.

When I told my friend back in Austria that I would leave Vienna to study in Kingston for one semester, he told me that I was insane. “All you’ll find there is a high security prison,” he said, recalling the time he had passed through the city a couple of years earlier.
I boarded my flight with mixed feelings. On the one hand I was excited to move to the other side of the Atlantic, but on the other, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Was Kingston really a one-horse town?

Jacob Paik, ArtSci’14, started his own dance crew ‘Illnatic’ with the hopes of continuing to learn and respect hip hop culture, but more importantly all other styles of dancing.
Paik’s interest in dance began when he was in grade 9, however it wasn’t until his second year at Queen’s that he started dancing seriously.

On Dec. 14, 2012, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, CT and murdered 20 children and six school personnel. In a country used to mass shootings, Sandy Hook touched a nerve. The scale of the crime and the nature of the victims were so tragic that Barack Obama took the opportunity to wade into the highly polarized politics of gun control.
