Trinity Western University’s resident housing is getting a makeover this year.
Douglas Hall, traditionally an all-male-on-campus residence, is now home to a dorm of undergrad women, most of them majoring in education.
The embarrassments of changing for gym and being generally pegged a loser by fellow students (or is that just me?) were difficult enough. Years of pre-pubescent social struggles, coupled with the introduction of critical thought have taxed most North American schoolchildren to the brink of endurance. But for many children across the world, these experiences were secondary to pure academic stress, a strong intellectual emphasis in the early years of education. Mandatory bilingualism, strict uniform adherence, and hours of third grade homework were a reality to many International students now attending TWU.

I won, and made her watch a horror flick. She got mad, didn’t talk to me, and 11 months later we’re dating … all thanks to my winning wager.
