A Year Dans Review

Despite the deaths of superstars Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Patrick Swayze, Brittany Murphy and David Carradine, 2009 was a great year.

I mean, let’s discuss all the good things that happened. There was... um... that thing... with that guy... in that place...

OK. So, maybe 2009 sucked.

Well, that’s being a little vague, I suppose. A quick Google search of "2009 events" showed the year to be quite eventful.

• Barack Obama was inaugurated, becoming the first black president.
• Iowa and Vermont legalized same sex marriage.
• Tiger Woods was hit in the head with a golf club, proving irony is still amusing.

(This is the part where I side-step the global economic crisis, H1N1 and the continuing conflicts in the Middle East. A-hem.)

Six Canadian university students on how they’re fighting climate change

University students in Canada are paying more attention to climate change than ever before. It’s their future that’s in limbo, they say, and they want companies and governments—and their own schools—to start listening.

For me personally, it was good. I finished my first year of college, I did a 4-week internship at a daily newspaper, founded a music websiteand didn’t get hit by a car. So, all of those things are pretty positive in my opinion.

With that being said, Happy New Year! Let’s hope 2010 is better than this year was.
