It’s hard to believe the end is here! I can distinctly remember hanging at camp and applying for this job, preparing a fancy little sample post filled with tricks for how to “bench press” and an application detailing why a…
These are the things we’ll miss the most after graduation
Yesterday I received an email from the Office of Convocation. It's almost time. So, with the threat and/or promise of graduation becoming a clearer and more prominent figure on the horizon, I've compiled a list of essential U of T…
1, 2, 3, 4. My four-person seminar class
My favourite class this semester has been the severely underpopulated one. There are four students and one professor, so it's actually a five-person class but four sounds so much more impressive like The Beatles, or ABBA, or ABS 496! And…
