Not Your Typical To-Do List

It is that time of year again; school is in full swing, the leaves are changing colours, and to do lists are becoming longer by the day. It seems fitting to join in on the list making and set…

No Regrets: A Reflection on Freshman Year

It is often said that when you're young, it's too early to have regrets. What may seem like mistakes, according to my parents, are simply "learning experiences." My first-year at U of T was an overwhelmingly positive experience, with great…

4 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting University

With the first week of classes just over a month away I have been reflecting on my first two years at University. I realized that I have changed so much since my first year. I have learned more than…

What I Learned From Attempting to Dye My Hair Blue

Sometimes, things don’t turn out the way you expect. That’s one thing you can count on. I re-learned this lesson the hard way: by impulsively deciding to dye my hair blue and subsequently failing to do so. I had…

Making the Most of the First Few Weeks of Class

Having successfully endured course enrollment, this past week, the first day of classes does not seem too far off. A new school year brings with it excitement and nervousness alike. I must admit that the idea of new classes,…

Ramadan on Campus

With the last few days of Ramadan in full swing, it seems appropriate to reflect on this month’s experience. This year, in particular, was a different than the usual. I have been taking summer courses for the past few months…

Breaking that Summer Triangle

A Year of Doing Things I’m Afraid Of

When I first met with my supervisors to begin blogging for Life at U of T, I was suddenly unbelievably, irrationally nervous. I confidently applied for the role of Career Centre Blogger because I loved to write, I wanted to think more about my career, and I was qualified for the position. But as soon as I stepped back on campus to begin writing for the year, I was filled with self-sabotaging doubt.

Looking back, this was probably the busiest school year of my life. I balanced five co-curricular clubs, a full course load, and a weekly blog, which sometimes left me feeling stressed out and burnt-out. As the year draws to a close, final exams, essays, and projects and commitments are naturally starting to pile up, which have only increased my stress levels. I’ve barely been getting any sleep, and Kraft dinners have become a staple in my diet. Long story short: I have too much on my plate right now (macaroni included).

My (Somewhat Balanced) Life Moves Pretty Fast

"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…
