So U of T, I guess this is goodbye! It’s hard to believe that this is my eighteenth and final blog post here at Life @ U of T. Do you remember when two-month summers in elementary school seemed to…

Getting Ready for Grad School!

Posted on: August 21, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
The weeks leading up to the school year are always a busy time: finalizing courses, buying fancy pens, setting new school year resolutions. This time around, though, my back-to-school preparation is an entirely new beast. Instead of returning to my…

Hollywood North

Posted on: August 14, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
My first clue that something unusual was happening on my walk to work last week was the trucks and trailers full of equipment. Once I saw the overturned cars (including some that were cut in half, surrounded by block-shaped debris),…

Star Tunes

Posted on: August 7, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
I’ve always been fascinated with space (as a kid I owned a cassette called “Star Tunes” that taught me the names of the planets in catchy songs that I can still sing today). There’s so many cool things to learn…

Blue Sky Solar Racing

I first saw one of Blue Sky Solar Racing’s cars at Science Rendezvous, an all-ages event designed to generate interest in science. The sleek solar panel-covered creation glided down the road, chased by a group of excited children. While the…

A Musical Treasure Hunt

Posted on: July 23, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
I spent this past Sunday on a musical treasure hunt on Toronto Island. The Poor Pilgrim Island show has been running for seven years, and I’ve made it a summer tradition for the past three. After a brisk ferry ride,…

The Apartment Hunt

Posted on: July 17, 2014 Last updated on: July 15, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
I think that one of the scariest, most adult-like things I have ever done is find an off-campus apartment. I loved living in residence for my first two years, but all I had to do to get my pre-furnished room…

Alumni Benefits

Posted on: July 10, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
I’m still getting used to the idea that I am an alumna of U of T, even though I officially graduated three weeks ago. Maybe it’s because I’m spending the summer here at this magnificent blog, but I don’t feel…

How to be Happy

In last week’s blog post, I wrote about how students can often feel overwhelmed and explored a couple of strategies for returning back to a peaceful state. But I found myself wondering if there was more I could do to…

Overwhelmed

Posted on: June 26, 2014 Last updated on: June 26, 2014 Written by: Elena Comments: 0
I sometimes feel like I only have two modes as a student: working and actively taking a break from working. Fast-moving deadlines are a pervasive part of being a student, and during busy periods I can’t help but feel that…
