Tardy to the Party (and everything else, too)

Posted on: March 12, 2014 Last updated on: March 12, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
Months back, I wrote on the topic of perfectionism as a personality flaw and how it would be a painstakingly annoying (although undeniably accurate) answer to give at a job interview when given the prototypical “What is your greatest weakness?”…

More Harm Than Help: A Perspective of Black History Month

Posted on: February 28, 2014 Last updated on: February 28, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
I like to think that a good majority of people at U of T — and in Toronto itself — are perceptive and accepting towards distinct racial identities. However, as the end of February approaches, I realize I still understand…

On What (or Whom) Inspires You

Posted on: February 14, 2014 Last updated on: February 21, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
It has been two months since the passing of Nelson Mandela and many are still mourning for the loss. I still remember the sinking feeling in my stomach when I read the headline that afternoon in December. Even though Mandela…

Decaffeinated Me

Posted on: February 4, 2014 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
Recently, I’ve been finding many a brave soul on campus who have all managed to live their undergraduate career without finding it necessary to have their morning dose of the greatest hot caffeinated beverage known to mankind: coffee. “What do…

Careful Not to Slip

Posted on: January 14, 2014 Last updated on: January 28, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 4
A very warm (figuratively speaking) welcome back, fellow U of T comrades! I hope you’re all finding ways to fight off the cold other than lingering over sidewalk heat vents on your morning walk to campus. All jokes aside, it has…

On Perfectionism, Writer’s Block, and Overcoming Both

Posted on: December 5, 2013 Last updated on: December 5, 2013 Written by: katrina Comments: 2
Hands down, my least favourite question during a job interview is being asked the quintessential “What is your biggest weakness?” question. Firstly, where do I even begin?! Secondly, how do I trick my potential bosses into thinking any flaw of…

A Whole Brave New World

For those of you who have been following this blog for a while now, (and props if you were one of the few who helped pioneer the #StartUofT trend into what it is today!) you might remember my introduction post when…

Why You’re Not Too Cool to Read

Posted on: September 18, 2013 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 2
My answer to the classic question, “What three things would you take to a deserted island?” has unfailingly remained the same all my life – books. I started reading independently at a very early age (shortly after I turned two) and…

Ready, Set, …Wait, I’m Not Ready to Go

Posted on: September 11, 2013 Last updated on: September 11, 2013 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
With frosh week gone (along with my voice and inability to stop turning day-to-day conversations into cheers #froshleaderproblems), it’s time to get on that back-to-school grind – that is, if you can first wrap your head around the amount of…

The Juggling Act

Posted on: August 7, 2013 Last updated on: September 9, 2014 Written by: katrina Comments: 0
The concept of “living a balanced life” has always been such an elusive one for me. Growing up, I maintained a relatively erratic lifestyle, and I carried that into my first year of U of T. I’d sleep 3 hours…
