Written by: Maxwell Gawlick

I have loved you,
And been loved by you.
I have hurt you,
And been hurt by you.
I have given you all,
And yet you ask for more.
I please you, I nurture you,
But you can only bring me pain.

I have sacrificed friendship for you.
I have sacrificed scholarships for you.
I have sacrificed co-op for you.
I have sacrificed all for you.
I have sacrificed years for you,
And you have failed me.

After four years, I am free from you.
After four years, I can finally say,
Goodbye to you, my GPA.

I have loved you,
And been hurt too.
I have given you all,
But you just make me bawl.
For four years we drew apart
But it still breaks my heart.

In the beginning, I got you to four,
But you only wanted more.
You would never again be what you were,
But even as you fell, it was all a blur.
I thought about you all the time,
But you just wouldn’t climb.

I tried to fix it on my own,
But it’s impossible to do alone.
I tried to hide it for a while,
But it was all I could do to smile.
I fought for you, by hammer and blade,
But all you gave me was a passing grade.

Sitting here, at my grad,
There was never a moment I was glad.
But after four years, I can finally say
Goodbye to you, my GPA.

By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
