Am I the only one who’s ever been jealous of the kinesiology students? As someone so interested and engaged in fitness and physical activity I would love to be able to sit in on those lectures. While that may not…
In Which I Keep Falling Asleep in Class
With a new year, the old problems don’t disappear.
Transitioning From a Night Owl to an Early Bird
Everyone, mornings are not my friend. I'm the type of person who crawls out of the bed slowly, sloth-like, and is counting down the hours until I can return to that safe haven. I'm also a self-professed night owl, meaning…
Bittersweet January: getting back into courses and back into sport
Everybody hates January. After a well-deserved break from courses, assignments, readings, exams and –for some – the cold commute, we’re back to reality. Thankfully, while reality does include mountains of coursework, commuting in all kinds of weather and a general apathy that comes with the second semester… it also includes campus physical activity programming!

I’m hoping you all can also find something to be excited about and to make this semester a little more pleasant!
I’m happy to announce that on top of circus and jitsu, I’ll be continuing my ice princess adventure this semester in the Skating Level 1 registered class at Varsity Centre!

New Year, Somewhat New Me

In Which U of T is Kind
Sometimes, I have a pride problem when it comes to academics.
A Self Reflection
Today officially marks my last day of class for this semester. Time really does fly, I remember the day my dad suggested I apply to U of T: I was studying IB Biology outside when he came and sat next…
In Which I Need Help
I didn't hit rock bottom, but I came pretty close.
Filling Out Course Evaluations
My inbox is usually flooded with e-mails regarding new course information, scheduling details, and other announcements from various departments at U of T. As I was scrolling through my e-mails looking for anything important, I noticed I received an e-mail…
