Not that you need another reminder, but trust me, all of my conversations have been starting this way recently: we’re in the middle of exams. I’m about halfway through, with my most daunting yet to come. Every time I’m not…

Posted on: March 7, 2019 Last updated on: April 15, 2019 Written by: Tanith Comments: 0

The girl sat at her desk. Behind her, the ceiling light flickered. Outside, the wind screamed. With a sudden loud buzz, the light died, leaving the room in total darkness, save for the glow of the white screen that kept…

#JoyAtUofT: Letting the Little Things Bring You Joy

Posted on: February 14, 2019 Last updated on: February 14, 2019 Written by: Tanith Comments: 2
I’m learning that I really love challenges (if you can even call them that). For example, this weekend I challenged myself to eat a whole box of cookies. I succeeded. Okay, all jokes aside, this week is Joy At U…
