Becoming a Londoner and Learning from British Culture
I have been in London for almost 2 months and I finally feel like I am at home and settled. Now that I can thoroughly explain the entire tube map of zone 1/2 and have started giving directions to tourists, can I call myself a Londoner?

Self-Care Queen at U of T
It's only a month into school and midterms are hitting us already. In my agenda, there is this backlog of assignments and all the due dates happen to fall within the same week. It happens every year and I'm always looking for more tips on how to stay positive during this time.

From EcoFashionista to .. . Bike Repair Queen?
Last week, I wrote all about my rather abysmal relationship with DIY-ing (and how I’m determined to change that!). This week, let me take you all with me on a little trip around a few of U of T’s fantastic…
Open Bar
I thought that might get your attention. So it's that time of year when your brain starts turning to mush. The count down has begun...seven weeks to freedom! It's time to finish the essays, plow through the midterms, and hold…
