Here’s a new tongue twister for you – try saying “Exam Anxiety” five times really fast. Can you do it? I sure can’t. Unfortunately, “Exam Anxiety” isn’t just a tongue twister – rather, it is something that affects many students…
My favourite thing about the first few weeks of March is that it falls right in between midterm season and finals season. This is the optimal time to reflect on the study patterns you exhibited during midterm season to help you determine the…
I like to think I'm a creative person, but not in the traditional sense. I can't draw or sing (although, I wish I could), but I do enjoy photography and creative writing. In high school, I took a course called…
If there is something that I've learned in my three years of university, it's that attending a lecture and being present in a lecture are two very different things. What do I mean by that? Take a look…
Lifting gloves:
Disclaimer: “Trolls” on the internet love to pick on people who wear lifting gloves - just ignore them. Whether you need lifting gloves is for you to decide and is no indication of how much you can lift, how “beast” you are, or anything of the sort. Many bars and barbells have a knurled surface (is that a fun word or what?). You’ve probably seen it, the pattern of thousands of diamonds that cover most of the bar, it’s there so athletes can get a better grip on the bar. This knurling, however, doesn’t make for a particularly pleasant grip and can cause the hands some discomfort – to reduce this discomfort, some people choose to wear lifting gloves. Others wear gloves to improve their grip when their hands start to sweat, and others wear gloves for entirely different reasons. Point is, if they’re going to benefit you, go right ahead. Don’t feel the need to put on a brave face while the bar exfoliates your hands. It doesn’t make you any more awesome than the guy or gal next to you whose hands aren’t the same shade of bright red.

I’m not even going to go there. Your body is just as strong and just as amazing in your highschool gym shorts as it is in Lululemon yoga pants that set you back $140, or bright green UnderArmour sweats.
Welcome to the first midterm season of 2017. Chances are, within the next few weeks, you will write at least 1 midterm. If your schedule is anything like mine, you might even be writing 4 midterms... within the…
This past Monday, Move U and U of T’s Black Students’ Association hosted the university’s first Afro-Caribbean dance workshop. It was one of many highlights of my four years at U of T. Seriously.
The hour-and-a-half long workshop was a total blast! It was led by Arsenio Andrade, who was born and trained in Cuba and has performed internationally, and accompanied by the wonderful drumming talent of Richard “Popcorn” Cumberbatch who has been playing Caribbean indigenous drums since the age of 11. There was a great turnout and every single person seemed to be having the time of their lives – I know I was.
Teamwork – it’s essential. In your academic and professional career, you will inevitably work in teams. Therefore, the earlier you learn to master the art of teamwork, the more beneficial it will be. Growing up, “team work” was…
Guess what? I took the plunge! I bought my own beautiful pair of skates! Did my wallet cry a little? Yes. Am I beyond excited? Yes. On my way home to my parents’ house I took a detour to the…
