Celebrating the Holidays in Toronto: The Distillery Winter Village
Even though it’s exam time, it’s still the holidays - one of my favourite times of year! Putting up the Christmas tree, listening to carols and my family’s tone-deaf chorus, and hot chocolate every night! So even though there are…
The stuff that matters
With the holidays almost upon us, some of you may have already or be thinking about leaving your belongings in boxes at a friend’s house or in storage. Maybe you’re going home from campus and you can leave stuff in…
Short Stories to Read During the Break

The holidays are here! How I’m (healthily) indulging this year
Ahh, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! There’s something so magical about the holiday season. I don’t know if its all the twinkly lights or that people seem to be just a bit nicer to each other. Either…

December is my favourite time of the year. Well, it usually is. Since starting university, the stress of December exams has sapped up any and all of the holiday spirit in me.

Winter To-Do List: The Procrastination Edition
Guilty citizen of the ProcrastiNation right here, everybody.
I’ve got an exam tomorrow, lecture notes and several hundred pages of readings to re-revise, and definitions to repeat over and over to myself until I sound like a broken record.
And yet, at this moment, I am doing none of those things. Instead, I’m sitting here making a list.
As I’ve mentioned before, I do love my lists. I’m already anticipating the end of my last exam this week and daydreaming about all the wonderful glorious things I could do in the time I’m spending buried nose-deep in readings.
