hiya i saw that you go to dal and i was just wondering if you could give me a rundown of student life on campus— like dorms/social scene and whatnot— i’m thinking of going to dal but i don’t know if i’ll fit in there :/

My big advice would be: go to O-Week, mingle with people in your dorms, don’t be afraid to talk to other people. Because that was my problem.

My secondary school was in southern Ontario so when I moved to Halifax, I didn’t know anyone. I am very introverted, and my anxiety disorders were undiagnosed at the time, which didn’t help me. I avoided most of the events at O-Week and a lot of social interaction - this proved to be a hindrance later.

As for the school itself, Dal has an abundance of clubs and teams and events to attend. Not too long after O-Week they hold a weekend event called Dal Fest and they set up a stage in the quad (on the Studley campus) and local bands play on-stage in the evenings. It’s basically a free concert for students, I went in my first year for a bit, but I definitely would suggest that.

Also, around the beginning of the year they have Homecoming and a tailgate for their football team, I didn’t go, but tickets are cheaper for students than the locals, and it’s actually pretty good because your ticket covers a lobster as part of the tailgate meal.

Every weekend, they host events called “Dal after Dark”. And if you’re in residence, these events are always posted in the lobby. Some residents also host their own events. Shirreff Hall has a Hogwarts dinner every year (older parts of the campus, such as Shirreff, look Hogwartsy due to their age or design style), LeMarchant Place has a competition between the six floors of the building (each floor has a different name - I was on the one called The Jungle). Especially if you live in residence, news about campus events should be easy to come by.

I didn’t really form any friendships until my third year because my second major was very small, so almost everyone knew each other, and even then, I didn’t really talk to them outside of class. But definitely if you’re in a small major, make friends with as many of your peers as you can. Creative Writing - only available as a second major, not the primary one or a minor - is one of those small programs. They cap at about 40-60 students each year, and those who are majoring in those classes get priority registration, but they become a rather close-knit group because of it.

I stuck mostly to myself, and although I do wish I formed more lasting relationships with people, I did like my time there. The campuses are relatively easy to navigate (except the LSC - if you have any classes there devote extra time to that maze) and there is a small tunnel that connects a few buildings, which is helpful in an Atlantic winter. I preferred my time living off-campus because I didn’t enjoy the meal plan (but my mum is chef -quality good so …) but I think a lot of that was because of my extreme introversion and anxiety.

Public transport is fairly reliable there - which shocked me because GTA suburb transit kind of sucks - but most things you’ll either take the bus or a ferry for (bus pass is included in tuition for full-time students) and the only train they have is VIA Rails, so it’s not like you have to worry about a subway system. Shopping is also decent with malls in the West End of Halifax and another in Dartmouth. The downtown and waterfront are beautiful, I think that’s one of the reasons I stayed as long as I did (I’m finishing my final classes online in Ontario). The boardwalk has a lot of seasonal touristy places (BeaverTails, Cow’s Ice Cream, Boat tours - lots of boat tours) which is busiest in September but if you want to see them get there before November because they close by them (Public Gardens - on Spring Gardens Road is also seasonal. I spent 5 years in Halifax and never went).

As for non-campus stuff feel free to ask, I lived in the South End for three years (on South Park Street) so I don’t know much about the North End, but I did live there for ½ a decade in total (apartments and in residence), so I might be able to answer some questions about Halifax if you’re not a local. If you’re thinking about attending the Agricultural Campus, I’m afraid I can’t say much about it. It’s in Truro (or Bible Hill according to Wikipedia, but everyone at Dal says Truro) and it’s got its own mascot (a ram rather than a tiger) and is in a more Rural location compared to Halifax’s mix of city and suburbia. Also, the Ram has a name - because the Agricultural Campus was a separate college (same for the architect/Downtown Campus) before Dal bout them out. The tiger doesn’t have a name. He’s just The Dal(housie) Tiger.

Ooh, there’s also Dal Patrol which is like a free cab service (As long as you have your student card) and operates after 6pm. Though the Killam has better hours, especially around exams, I prefer the new Public Library downtown. I’m forgetting something …

Anyway, TL;DR: go to campus events. It’s the best way to meet people. And please try to meet people, that’s my only real regret about my time on campus (well and the other thing, but that’s a different story). Don’t be afraid to meet people and don’t feel bad if some friendships don’t last. Just get out there and have fun.

Halifax's Dalhousie University announces eight presumptive COVID-19 cases among students, residents

Dalhousie University in Halifax has announced eight presumptive COVID-19 cases involving members of their school on and off-campus.

In a release posted to the university's website on Saturday from Emily Huner, assistant vice-provost, student affairs at Dalhousie, she says the school has learned of six members in their residence community in Halifax who received positive COVID-19 test results through rapid testing.

All six individuals – five of whom are in Howe Hall and one is in Risley Hall – have been instructed to undertake PCR (lab) testing and are currently self-isolating.

Huner says there are also two off-campus student cases that have been reported to the university.

"Nova Scotia Public Health has been engaged and, pending the PCR test results, will work with the university to identify close contacts and potential precaution and/or exposure notifications," read the release from Huner.

According to Huner, the registrar's office has confirmed that none of the eight individuals attended any in-person exams.

The school says more information will be provided to the university community as soon as they are able to.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS, RESIDENTS

Dalhousie provided a list of "important instructions" that they are asking all students and residents to follow.

Those instructions include:

All residents in Halifax and Truro are being asked to complete rapid tests Saturday or Sunday. Test supplies are being delivered directly to residence building lobbies. Any residents who test positive will be required to contact residence staff, self-isolate and complete a PCR test.

The suspension of guest privileges in residence has now been extended to also include guests from other residences. Residents have been asked to limit or eliminate social contact and stick only to their designated dining hall.

Exams are continuing, following all safety protocols (including masking). Any resident who tests positive (rapid or PCR) is NOT to attend in-person exams. Students who show any symptoms of COVID should also not attend in-person exams. Information is being provided to residence students on how to request an alternate final exam through the appropriate channels if required.

Dalhousie will await further instruction from Public Health as to whether additional quarantine/self-isolation or testing measures will be required.

The university encourages everyone to take advantage of asymptomatic rapid testing. On the weekend, take-away rapid tests are available at the Student Union Building, Killam Library and Kellogg Library.  Rapid testing is also available in the community at the Halifax Convention Centre and St. Margaret’s Centre (Tantallon).

Review the province's list of precaution and exposure notifications in the community.

Students builds bus stop shelter for 5-year-old wheelchair user to protect him from the harsh weather

Students builds bus stop shelter for 5-year-old wheelchair user to protect him from the harsh weather

Several high school students in Rhode Island helped a five-year-old wheelchair user stay sheltered while waiting for the school bus every morning. Waiting for the school bus may be a simple activity for some, but that isn’t the case for Ryder Killam, who was born with spina bifida and is completely wheelchair-dependent. Ryder’s parents push his wheelchair to the end of their driveway every…

What My Depression Taught Me

Almost a year ago, I was walking to Starbucks. I got to these stairs which lead to the building Starbucks is in, and I sat down on them because I couldn’t make it the next thirty steps to get my coffee.

I know, I know. It sounds ridiculous. But what you don’t see from the outside is the battle I had already fought before I left my front door. That particular morning the giant cinder block that keeps me in my bed was especially heavy, but I lifted it. The walk to the bathroom felt like a thousand miles, but I walked it. The effort it took to shower was too much, and I sat down on the shower floor and cried for half-an-hour, but by the end of it, I was clean. By the time I had done the most basic of tasks I was already exhausted.. and I mean exhausted. So when I saw these stairs and realized I didn’t have the strength for one more step, I sat, and I cried. That was the moment I realized I needed to take a semester off school. I had gone to about three of my lectures, total, in the first three weeks of school, and now it was time to admit defeat. Admitting that I couldn’t do school was one of the hardest and most humbling experiences of my life. I have always had a large part of my identity held in being “that smart girl” or “the one who graduated early” or “the homeschooled girl”. It was devastating to my pride to have to admit that I couldn’t handle the three classes I had signed up for, let alone the honours program that I had been enrolled in a few months prior. 

Now, I don’t say any of this to make you feel sorry for me. I don’t feel sorry for me. I’m an incredibly privileged physically able straight white cis-woman from an upper-middle class family. I realize that I have an easy life compared to most people on this earth. I say this to give you some background to what I’ve learned in the past year, and the incredible, terrifying, strengthening journey I’ve been on. 

1) A support system can come from anywhere

My core support system consists of the expected people, like my mom and dad and my best friend.. but it also includes my mom’s friend from University, my voice teacher from high school, the parents of my piano and voice students, my theatre professor, and my friend from first year Chemistry. Now, of course, I count all of these people as close friends now but I am only around a few of them on a regular basis. Even so, together they have managed to pull me through some really hard times. If you don’t have a family that you can go to about these things, or you feel like you have a hard time making friends, your support system can be found anywhere. 

2) There is a major difference between being lazy and being depressed, but they aren’t mutually exclusive. 

This year has been, and continues to be, a time for major life lessons. One of those lessons is that sometimes, I am lazy, and I need to work on that. Because I felt as though I had a “legit excuse” for skipping class, and skipping work, and skipping out on plans, I did it all of the time. My “legit excuse” was really only legit about half of the time. The other half of the time I just used my depression as a way out of something I didn’t want to do. I didn’t realize I was doing it at the time, but looking back I can see the difference between the two. It is incredibly important to find the balance between self-care/self-love and just being selfish. Mental health days are real, and they are necessary, and sometimes you genuinely cannot get out of bed.. but if you use that excuse on days where you just don’t want to get out of bed, you quickly become the boy who cried wolf and even help perpetuate the stigma of Depression=Lazy. 

3) Hard work and mediocre grades are so much more satisfying that lazy work and good grades.

As I mentioned before, school has always been my thing. I was homeschooled, I planned my own curriculums, I finished my high school coursework when I was 15. Grades come really easy to me, just like how socializing comes easily to other people (pretty sure that’s just witchcraft though). This year went from me doing ballet twirls through stacks of A+’s and sometimes putting aside the time to pretend to study, to me becoming a rhino violently thrashing through the Killam Library for hours every day trying to find some kind of ability to focus and ending up with C’s. And I am so damn proud of those C’s. 

4) A freshly made bed makes the world a better place.

Even if you get right back into said bed. 

5) So does a luxurious shower.

It’s hard to be sad when you are a soft, good smelling, clean and shiny god/goddess. It’s also a lot easier to go outside once you feel clean and shiny and good. 

6) Motivation is a privilege, not a given. Don’t take it for granted.

I am so, so happy to say that after lots of adjustments, and “new pill” side effect flus, I have found a combination that works. I am motivated. I have been up and doing things before noon almost every day for the past month. Waking up and wanting to do something, anything, is incredible. I will never again take that feeling for granted. I will get up, and do as much as I possibly can, so that if the bad days come again, I haven't wasted the good days.

7) Daily gratefulness isn’t just some yuppy thing. It actually does help. 

I have a home. I have food. I have access to medications and therapy. I have parents that can help me out financially so I can afford to not work or do school for a semester. My body is healthy even when my mind is not. I am able to go to university. I have a good, healthy family situation.There are so many things that I can be grateful for.

8) Solitude can be really, really healthy.

Wandering through a Chapters by yourself, looking at, smelling, and basking in being surrounded by books isn’t weird. 

...okay maybe it is but it’s still incredibly soothing. 

9)  People are generally kind.

The amount of support I have received from acquaintances, old friends, employers, even some strangers, has been incredible. Watching the news, it can sometimes feel like the world is evil and scary and bad.. but people surprise you and come through in unexpected ways. 10) I am strong. Really really f***ing strong. 

I have battled my own brain with a complete lack of motivation, irritability, wanting to isolate my self, wanting to never leave my room again, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety attacks. It’s not easy to fight off thoughts of your own death with a stick made out of anxiety and the granola bars you’ve been eating for four days because you can’t leave your house to get groceries. But I did it. I’m present. I’m about to go shower and do some work. I weathered a violent storm in the middle of the ocean, and came back in one piece. 

Yesterday, I walked out of Starbucks with a delicious Frappuccino after working on a website, creating a budget for myself and for my new company, talking with a new potential roommate, and generally working really hard. I sat on these stairs and realized how far I’ve come in the past year.

I am alive, I am vibrant, and I am proud.

NO STUDIOS, a new hub for the creative arts in downtown Milwaukee, will hold its grand opening the weekend of Oct. 12–14 featuring a series of open house and special event opportunities. The opening weekend will give Milwaukeeans the chance to learn more about this new organization and the many ways to get involved. This first-of-its-kind experimental concept bridging arts and entertainment experiences, a networking/social club model and shared workspaces was founded by Oscar-winning filmmaker and Milwaukee native John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, American Crime) and business partner Chris Abele.

The 40,000 square foot building is designed to feel comfortable, open, modern and inviting, encouraging collaboration. There is a mix of long-term and short-term offices, conference rooms and shared work space intended for individuals, organizations and companies in creative fields. The first floor gallery space, bearing high ceilings and exposed brick, will show rotating exhibitions and feature a gallery lounge and cocktail bar serving wine, craft beers, cocktails and Colectivo coffee. The gallery level also includes a state-of-the-art, 47-seat screening room, and a performance stage. A glass enclosed rooftop offers a bar and event space with expansive city views, and is scheduled to open later this year.

No Studios is rounding out its management team and has hired Luke Repetti as general manager of building and events, who started in his new position Sept. 4.

Taran Killam - October 23, 2017

Past talk show appearances (sorted by most recent):

Late Night with Seth Meyers (October 12, 2017)

Eminem Impression (link)

Killam is a huge L.A. Rams fan, but there aren’t many celebrity Rams fans. 

Holy Trinity of Rams fans: Ty Burrell, Danny Trejo, and Killam.

Meyers praises Killam’s impressions, including Brad Pitt and Eminem.

Killam raves over Eminem’s rap against Trump. He tries to add upon the video in his best Eminem impression, but he has a hard time freestyle-ing on the spot. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger (link)

Promoting Killing Gunther, a mockumentary about a group of hit men trying to kill a hit man.

Starring in this film was his dream because he wanted to run around and pretend to be an action star.

Extensively discusses working alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, according to Killam, was very professional and had the poise of a body builder, action star, and governor. 

Killam had to FaceTime Schwarzenegger every week to remind him to post on social media, and his wife, Cobie Smulders could never get used to hearing Schwarzenegger’s voice coming from their bedroom.

Meyers and Killam grew up at a time when Schwarzenegger’s films were huge, and they both watched them at sleepovers.

The first R-rated film Killam ever saw was Terminator 2.

For 3-4 years, Killam tried to mimic the “step-cut” haircut of Edward Furlong by sporting long bangs swept to one side.

In Killing Gunther, Killam wrote a scene from Commando with a comedic twist before he even knew Schwarzenegger would be in it. The scene involves a hit man breaking into a weapon arsenal, taking all the weapons, and then getting arrested by the cops, who confiscate all the weapons.

Schwarzenegger was forced to wear disguises in the film; in his first scene, he was forced to wear booty shorts and a tankini.

Killam wrote, directed, and starred in the film.

(The directing was not planned, but in the end, he felt no one else was as committed to making the vision come to life as he was.)

Killam was fortunate enough to share many dinners with Schwarzenegger where he asked him about his prior movie experience.

Killam’s biggest regret is that he didn’t work out with Schwarzenegger. 

Rather than exercise in a fancy gym, Schwarzenegger frequented the local YMCA.

Late Night with Seth Meyers (June 10, 2015) (link) 

Meyers praises Killam’s 2013 SNL skit “Blazer,” in which he played a 1980′s inspired cop who incidentally only went after black perpetrators. 

Killam was ecstatic to get the chance to slide over the roofs of cars and jump between buildings all day, but on his final shot, he fell and landed on his face, and this shot was used in the sketch.

Killam describes himself as the ‘king of falling on the last take’; when he shot a Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? parody with Charlize Theron, he had to repeatedly do keg stands, and on the last try his arms gave out and he fell over onto Theron’s face.

Late Night with Seth Meyers (September 10, 2016) (link) (with Bobby Moynihan)

Moynihan and Killam remark on the relaxed security on the Late Night set and show a movie, shot on an iPhone, of them prancing around Meyers’ studio earlier that day and putting their bare butts on his desk.

Late Night with Seth Meyers (December 20, 2016) (link) (with Marc Andreyko)

Interview shot on the first day of Killam’s Hamilton rehearsals. 

Killam says that the character he plays, King George III, is the funniest role in the role play. 

Late Night with Seth Meyers (April 30, 2015) (link) (Cobie Smulder on Killam)

Smulder remarks that her husband is a huge Avengers fan, and even knows more about the comic world than she does, so he had to explain Ultron to her. 

Killam used to have Avengers poster in his SNL dressing room, which Meyers realized Killam would have regardless if his wife was on the poster.

Late Show with Stephen Colbert (February 10, 2017) (link)

Discusses his role as King George III in Hamilton.

Killam attended college for musical theater for a year before “comedy took over.”

Due to his Hamilton costume involving high heels and a velvet cape, the most difficult choreography is walking in a straight line.

Killam is the tallest in the cast, so when he’s wearing a crown and heels, he has to duck under the set for his entrances. One time he forgot to duck, so his crown went flying, but the audience laughed because, as Killam describes it, you “can’t fail in that role.”

The celebrity he was most excited to meet backstage at Hamilton was Sarah Michelle Gellar because he was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he kept his cool when he met her.

The only time he ever cried at T.V. was during Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Colbert praises Killam’s impression work, including Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey. 

Killam says people are never impressed with his impressions of them.

Killam was extremely excited to meet Jeff Goldblum at the SNL 40th anniversary special. 

Killam explains that when outside guests come back for recurring roles on SNL (i.e. Melissa McCarthy, Alec Baldwin) they are usually comedy gods and therefore well-received by the cast.

Both Killam and McCarthy started at the Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles, and Killam always went out of his way to watch McCarthy perform. 

Killam never did a Schwarzenegger impression on T.V.

Filmed Killing Gunther during the summer of 2016. The film is about a group of hit men killing Gunther, the most famous hit man (played by Schwarzenegger.) 

The first time Killam FaceTime’d Schwarzenegger for casting, Schwarzenegger was sitting at an oak desk in front of a six foot tall oil painting of himself, smoking a cigar.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (April 10, 2013) (link) (”Worst I Ever Bombed”)

One of his comic friends pressured Killam into trying stand-up, and got him a 5-minute slot at 2:45am at the Westwood Brew Co. Attic.

Killam prepared no jokes for his set, but rather told a story about taking his 18-year-old brother to a strip club, to an audience of four people (two college girls and an old couple). 

As soon as he mentioned giving a stripper $10 to give his brother a lap dance, the two college girls left, and he proceeded to explain to the couple the circumstances for his subpar stand-up.

He has never tried stand-up ever again since that incident.

From the Dressing Room (July 2, 2015) (link)

Discusses his role as Orin in the New York City Center reproduction of Little Shop of Horrors, directed by Jake Gyllenhaal.

Compares working in theater versus SNL, and explains that Little Shop requires much more memorization, but is a less time-stressed experience. 

This show was his first time singing “in earnest.”

He would love to do something on Broadway, namely play Dr. Frank-N-Furter from Rocky Horror.

His first SNL hero was Eddie Murphy because his family had VHS tapes of Murphy’s work.

He was most nervous to perform alongside Jim Carrey, his biggest comedic influence, but because of Carrey’s SNL hosting gigs, Killam has now performed with him three times.

Among the shows Killam (binge) watches include Inside Amy Schumer, Bloodline, Game of Thrones, and Hannibal.

Fandango Movieclips Action (July 12, 2015) (link)

Killam has been attending Comic-Con since he was 19 years old. (Considering he was 33 in 2015, this made 14 consecutive years.)

Just starred in season of Drunk History, where he acted out the scenes, but never blacked out and recounted a history.

His wife, who plays Maria Hill in the Avengers, just received her own Hot Toy action figure.
