AFTER CLASS - THE WEEK-END: Volume 1, Session 4

Hey Golden Hawks, its DJ Mack with another session of The Week-end! This week DJ Sav and I chose to take some requests from the baby makers themselves, our parents! We know its that time of season where everyone is a little homesick, whether they will admit it or not, so we dedicated this week to all the parents out there! DJ Sav found a list of the top 15 lies parents tell their kids and we discussed some of our funny family stories. The music came as a request from our parents as we look to reunite with them for the upcoming Easter weekend, its only a few weeks away!

The Lies Parents Tell

DJ Sav found an interesting article that ranked the top 15 lies parents tell kids, some were very smart while others were just a little too ridiculous. One parent told their child that Kids ‘R’ Us was a museum which meant they were not allowed to touch anything, this we both thought was very smart but could be ruined if the child saw other kids playing with the toys. Another one was about a parent who told their child that every animal at the zoo was just another kind of dog. I understand this as being a way to make children less afraid of these animals but see this lie being flawed when the child needs to learn their animals in school. All in all, we agreed that sometimes you just have to lie to your kids, so they can easily get used to situations or be more comfortable trying new things.

Try of the week

This week we decided to try Lazeez Shawarma and agreed it has been our best try so far in this series!! The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little weird and the customer service was lacking, but the meal itself made up for it. I got a chicken shawarma and DJ Sav being a vegetarian got falafel. Both were delicious and had us wanting seconds! We gave Lazeez an over all score of 7.5/10, you will definitely see us there again!!

Laurier Event

Every Tuesday night Wilf’s on campus bar hosts a bingo night from 10-12PM and a Trivia night on Wednesdays. This is a fantastic way to unwind from all the stress we’ve been under from class. So head on over to Wilf’s to test out your trivia knowledge and bingo skills!
