It’s that time of the year again. It’s almost always that time of the year in Toronto. Winter. The cold, dark, and short days where everything from your boots to your bag are covered in salt stains from walking around…
U of T is known for a lot of things, good and bad, however, some things that often go by unnoticed are the little things - things like public art. They have a way of just blending into our world…
Soldiers’ tower was built in 1924 to honour the 1,185 U of T students and faculty who lost their lives in the two World Wars. With its beautiful archways and impressive form, Soldiers’ Tower is probably one of the most…
Earlier this week, while browsing through my Facebook page, I stumbled on a captivating U of T event: “Omar Khadr’s Defence Lawyer: The Rule of Law in an Age of Fear”. Growing up outside of Canada, I was shocked to…
"Goodbye." That's always a difficult thing to say, but sadly, this is my last post for Life @ U of T. Being the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation (CTSI) blogger this year has been the opportunity of a lifetime…
During my first year I signed up for more clubs and groups’ newsletters than I ever had intention of actually joining (or really even cared about). Aside from that new-kid-desperately-wanting-to-make-friends feeling that I’m sure everyone who’s ever been a first…

U of T has no shortage of picturesque spots around campus that are perfect places for you to take a moment for yourself to do some contemplation or meditation. But as it starts to get colder I realise that most…
As a U of T student, we have access to numerous fantastic resources, scholarships, and world-famous libraries. However, personally, my favourite perk of being at U of T is our Hart House membership, or generally, our access to daily free drop-in fitness classes.…
This week, I dropped into the Healthy Habits program that runs every Monday in the Hart House Reading Room from 12 to 1 p.m. Healthy Habits is a laid-back discussion about nutrition and tips for eating well and is led by a holistic nutritionist.
What I really liked about the event was that it was informal and thereby unintimidating. We all sat in the corner of the Reading Room on the couches and, in essence, had a chat. The topic varies week to week and you’re welcome to attend just one session or as many as you like, whenever you can. This past Monday, we talked about sugar – very timely if you ask me, given that Monday was also Halloween.
