Editorial: Reflecting on The Brock Press’ 61st production year
As the school year draws to a close, I am left reflecting on our latest year in production — one that solidified the Press’ values as a rare worker co-operative as we saw an influx of brand-new staff members; encouraged more creativity in writing than ever before; and on a personal level, shaped me as a person more than any other professional experience I’ve had.

We’re approaching a month into the 2026 MLB season and to say the beginning stretch has been a rollercoaster is an understatement. Slow starts in baseball are expected no matter the year, but the number of projected good teams that haven’t been able to put it together so far is astounding.

It’s 2015, and you’re sitting in the front seat of your car with your closest friends, searching for some new, energetic music that has your dusty 14-year-old Honda Civic speakers bumping like never before.

My favourite 80s anthems: The ultimate dance party playlist
Let’s be honest, they just don’t make club music like the 80s anymore. Modern EDM has its perks, boasting drops that can shatter glass and sub-bass that rattles your teeth. But there was a unique, lightning-in-a-bottle alchemy to the 1980s dance floor. It was an era where the raw, unpolished energy of punk and new wave collided head-on with the cold, futuristic sheen of early synthesizers. It wasn't just about the beat; it was about melody, drama and an unapologetic sense of theatricality.
Fleeting by design: how summer rewrites time
While I can appreciate the changing colours of autumn, the cozy warm nights of winter and the rainy rebirth of spring, it feels redundant to debate preferences for seasons when summer is given such an advantage.

Your tuition pays for more than your degree
Considering your first year at university can cost as much as a decent used car, you might feel like you're paying to be stressed out. You’ll need to account for sprawling class sizes and massive lecture halls, hours of tutorials and seminars, five-dollar lattes and the mandatory purchases of expensive textbooks. Your first few weeks at Brock might leave you feeling drained — not just in your personal life, but your bank account too.
