A couple days ago I was invited by YGO Lab to try their bubble tea with my friend Kate. YGO Lab is a bubble tea place I’ve been to before—I love bubble tea, and with YGO Lab's convenient location near…
Over the weekend, I visited Toronto's Tea Festival at the Reference Library (which is also a great place to study downtown). A myriad of vendors offered samples from diverse types of tea leaves including cultures such as from…
Remember when there was time and motivation for exercise, and a fridge in your family home full of boring vegetables and healthy foods that now seem like a luxury? Since the semester has begun, it has grown harder and harder…
A couple years ago, I was at Delirium, the famous bar in Brussels known for having literally thousands of beers. I was never a fan of beer, but the guy there said to me, "people who say they don't like beer…
Step aside, Ms. Trelawney. Disney is the new fortune teller of the future. Didn’t they create “It’s a Small World,” the infamous ride where dolls sing about how small the world is, years ago? Their prediction came true. Now I can talk to all my friends—from someone living a couple of doors down from me to someone in the Philippines—with the power of one device: my phone. However, with every blessing comes a curse, and I didn’t realize the curse of constantly using social media as a means to talk to people until I decided to try out the #unplugUofT trend—where students try to ‘unplug’ from their devices and social media accounts for a little while—and met up with some friends not through a social media platform, for once.

Tea - the ultimate form of temptation.
One of the best things about having family come from out of town is that you have an extra excuse to go out. My mom and brother are in Toronto for the week. When my mom went off for day trip,…
Soon they will be back. They are starting to wake up again. Pulling themselves out of sleepy, snow-covered cocoons where they spent the winter. Emerging from between crevices in ice-encrusted bark. Eating their way out of eggs and onto the leaves…
How was your U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, dear readers? Lady Gaga was fantastic on Saturday night — why, thank you for asking, Monsters! She's my final treat before buckling down for exams, and it was absolutely worth it! Today for our…
I drink, like, three cups of tea a day. Sometimes four. It's getting kind of ridiculous. And I love trying new kinds of tea. If you bought me a basket of 20 kinds of tea for Christmas or something, I…
Alrighty Valentiners... Here's my next post - Short, but sweet 🙂 With the impending Valentine's Day, authors and bloggers alike attempt to entice the public with stories ranging from how to get a date, how to keep your date, how…
