With the help of the lovely Mars’ Hill team, I received a list of questions from the TWU student body asking for some kind of advice. I am Cami Lavender, and welcome back to Cami Lavender’s Advice Corner!

What car is the best to turn into a flying car?
Forget cars. Let’s go back to the old school: wagons, buggies, chariots. Let’s take a cue from Santa and Apollo and let mythical flying creatures carry us across the sky, instead of pistons and batteries dragging us across the concrete.
If I were given a wish, I’d wish for more working Canadians to commute by mystical flying creatures: pegasi, unicorns, griffins, dragons and the like. Emissions would drop, traffic might finally improve and the morning commute would become at least a little more beautiful.
I like to imagine my little sister turning 16, my parents leading her into the garage and her opening her eyes to find not a car but an ornate stagecoach pulled by golden geese. Honestly, I think she’d like that more.
So my response to you, Car Guy, is this: forget the flying car. What mythical beast would you ride to class?

Thoughts on Cybertrucks?
I think it’s incredible that in 2026 we’ve collectively agreed it’s normal to drive around in what looks like a low-poly video game asset. The Cybertruck is less a vehicle and more a statement, like someone took modern art, gave it wheels and said, “Yes, this will survive potholes.” It’s bold, and it refuses to look like anything else on the road. And that’s kind of the point. It’s fun to look at. Marketed as tough, resilient, even bulletproof, this eraser-looking vehicle somehow also comes with electrical quirks and panels that make it look like a temperamental refrigerator. Maybe that’s where the appeal is. It’s unfinished and experimental, and if they keep pushing it, there’s a version of this thing in the future that might actually live up to the vision.

Please help me: give me breakfast ideas. I never eat breakfast.
Let’s take the pressure off. You don’t need a “proper” breakfast, you need a gentle start. If you’re not hungry, breakfast will always feel like a chore. Don’t force it. Build something light, consistent, and easy to return to.
Start with fruit, add a warm drink, and layer in a little protein later. If solid food feels like too much, go liquid. A blender opens up a lot—smoothies, shakes, whatever works! And if you don’t want the effort, even milk or a simple protein drink gets the job done. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s fuel. Something small that tells your body and brain the day has started.
Thank you so much to the mysterious strangers who submitted these questions, and thank you for reading the final chapter of Cami Lavender’s Advice Corner!
With much love and many waffles,
