*Credits to that one random poster at UTSC for the title. I wish I were that creative with my puns. If the title wasn’t a dead giveaway, this week I had my first yoga class at Hart House and it…
Finding A Little Balance
If you could only tell one story about yourself, what would you tell? Is your story long, or short? Deep, or lighthearted? How would you break the ice? I’d start with an introduction: My name is Zach and I’m in…
On Majors, Subject POSts and Change
This was the first year I actually had priority enrolment and got into almost all my courses because: *drumroll* I got into my subject POSt! I’m going into third year so maybe I’m a bit late, but picking majors and…
