Occasionally, I tell my parents not only about my day but also about the things I overhear on campus.
Mom: "Why are you eavesdropping??"
It's ? not ? my ? fault ? people ? talk ?so ? loudly.
Be it waiting for the traffic light between Bahen and Galbraith or darting down a stairwell, snippets of U of T conversations always brighten my day.
I wonder what conversations the squirrels on campus haveHere's a list of my favourites this year and some that just make absolutely no sense. Your guess about what they're talking about is as good as mine so use your imagination!cred: troisheures
