The Sentinel Sun

Every winter, the first drop in temperature brings back a familiar sense of anticipation across British Columbia. Students glance out classroom windows hoping to see falling snow and skiers wait for the mountains to turn white. From snow days to quiet, snow-covered streets, these moments shape how we remember the season. One question seems to come up every year: will it snow, and if so, how much? While weather forecasts are almost never perfectly accurate, meteorologists use

The printer buzzed as it started to push out pieces of warm white paper. I gently picked it up, holding it into the light: it was perfect. I had been perfecting my resume for two weeks and it was finally complete. I carefully placed the resume into my folder, then into my school backpack, and took off on my bike.  After a whole day of handing out my resume to grocery stores, retail stores, restaurants, and cafes in search of a part time job, I was exhausted and decided to ret

‘Out with the old, in with the new’ couldn’t be a more prevalent phrase as we head into the start of a new year. As we leave 2025 behind, we also shed the year’s trends—waving goodbye to polkadots, cheetah print, and yes, those overworn pairs of Sambas begging to be donated—and instead say hello to yet another exciting year in the fashion industry. It’s time to look ahead at an exciting year of all things couture. Now as I'm sure you’re wondering, I unfortunately didn’t get f

In 2021, Mark Carney published his book Value(s) , which includes the following passage: Efforts to address climate change have been a struggle between urgency and complacency. The urgency of carbon budgets that could be consumed within a decade. The complacency of adding to the committed carbon in our cars, homes, machines and power plants when those already in place will, over their useful lives, exhaust those carbon budgets. The urgency of the looming Sixth Mass Extinction

President Donald Trump signed the funding bill November 12, sending federal agencies back to work and restoring pay for furloughed employees. However, bills for funding for extending the Affordable Care Act  which will expire at the end of the year did not get passed. SNAP  funding is due to resume.

(To preface, this article is a satirical commentary on the heist that took place on Oct 19th)  On the morning of October 19th, the world froze in shock as the first jewelry heist of the 21st century took place, robbing the Louvre of 120 million dollars worth of historic medieval jewels in the span of just 7 minutes.  Now, if you’re anything like me and your first thought was that this whole thing was Netflix's way of introducing a new season of ‘ Lupin ’, after scouring the i

“Didn’t he come out as gay?” Is what I heard from a friend in class, convinced after watching a TikTok of boxer and influencer Jake Paul, making a personal announcement. But as it turns out, it wasn’t true at all. The video was made using Sora AI, OpenAI’s new text-to-video tool that’s surging on social media with ultra-realistic videos, misleading thousands of people (including my friends) every day. Sora AI is OpenAI’s innovative text-to-video model and social media app, fi

What happens when a generation raised on social media takes to the streets? The 2025 Gen Z revolution  in Nepal isn’t just another political uprising—it’s a social earthquake that shook the entire nation. For generations , Nepal struggled under the weight of corruption, the dominance of high-ranking families, and youth unemployment . What began as frustration of a “social media ban”  (which, in reality, was much deeper  than that) erupted into a nationwide movement  that rede
