So. We're talking about our colleges this week. A lot of my time applying for U of T was spent trying to figure out how I should rank the colleges. I was too far away from Toronto to actually visit…
Dear Fourth Year Me
Dear Fourth Year Me, I know, you made it! Lucky for you that Mayan Calendar-end-of-the-world thing was just a phase right? As you gear up to say goodbye to what were the most eventful years of your young adulthood, let's…
Meet Jessica, My Soul-Sister
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsVpywRiLb0 That’s what friendship means to me. Camaraderie. Ride or die. Through thick and thin. I would not have survived the last two years without the friends I have made at UofT. I used to think that true friendship was…
