Woes of Graduation: Whoa, Graduation?

Running through the 6ix with these woes, since second year.

Fourth Year Restlessness

My first year at U of T has started to feel like it happened a long time ago, even though it hasn't been that long at all. Between then and now, there have been many syllabi, essay drafts, and lectures.…

The Myth of the Four Year Degree

While it's true that many students graduate in four years, this isn't always the case. As someone who's anticipating a fifth year at UofT, I wanted to bust the "Myth of the Four Year Degree," a myth that seems to…

Why I Went Part-Time (And Why I Loved It)

Do you ever feel like you’re riding in a car that’s going just a bit too fast? This is how I felt by the time I was finished my second year of studies. People told me that university is for…

Next Steps
