New and improved appreciation days!

I don’t appreciate our current appreciation days, so here are some alternatives!

By: Kathy Mak

We used to only celebrate all the standard holidays – Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s, etc. But now, we get national appreciation days for almost anything! From Cat Appreciation Day, Pancake Appreciation Day, and Eye Colour Appreciation Day (seriously??), everything is pretty much covered. However, we at The Peak scratched our heads and came up with four new awesome appreciation days for you to celebrate!

 

  • National Wooden Chair Day

 

I’m betting we’ve all sat on a wooden chair that used to be four-legged but now it’s three-legged and squeaks when your ass is even a millimetre away from it. It’s time we start appreciating these hardcore pieces of furniture because they are way more comfortable than those soft plushy cushions called ‘sofas’ or ‘armchairs.’ As a bonus, wooden chairs are great for training your ass to become more solid and better at enduring sitting in SFU’s chairs!

 

 

 

  • National Sanity Day

Let’s face it — life is hard. With its overwhelming number of obstacles and hardships we need to get through every day, minute, and second of our lives, so why not have a day where we can celebrate the fact that we’ve all come a long way?! And, hopefully, we can celebrate the fact that we’re all still somewhat sane.

 

  • National Hairclips Day

If there’s a National Paperclip Day, there’s got to be a day dedicated to hair clips because they’re just as important! Shower every inch of hair with ten or more clips! This way you’ll be able to showcase those wonderful mini tools to the world. But that’s not all — attach another dozen or more hair clips to your clothing, from the neckline of your shirt to the bottom of your shoes, and tell the world how important hairclips are!

 

  • National My Own Call Day

Who the fuck can keep count of all the appreciation days that get created every millisecond? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a day where you could celebrate a jumble of things that YOU appreciate the most? Totally flexible, totally you! Instead of following the same old shit, come up with your own day!

Opinions in Dialogue: Christmas markets

By: Clara Xu, SFU Student, and Heidi Kwok, Staff Writer Christmas markets are a hallmark of the festive season. A staple in countries like Germany and Austria, these open-air holiday markets are, unfortunately, few and far between in Western Canada. While much smaller and not as extravagant as its European counterparts, Vancouver’s festive market tradition has been met with growing enthusiasm since the downtown debut at Jack Poole Plaza in 2010, leading to the opening of North Vancouver’s very own Shipyards Christmas Market at Lonsdale Quay in hopes of hosting a market that is more accessible to single parents and low-income families. Two writers discuss their perspectives. Clara: Where the Shipyards market really shines is dessert and drinks: they range from poffertjes, chimney cakes, brownies, giant...
