For those who did not get the Vincent Lam allusion, just think of the title as a more collegiate way of saying “screwed”. Which many of us have been and will be during every midterm and exam season. The following,…
Men of Movember
I think I chose the worst time possible to start up a regular blog for u of t. This semester alone, my sister got married, my friend has moved into my basement and, on Nov. 18th, my grandpa died. Each…
Toronto University Students’ Book Exchange
Today I did some basic math. I’ve been at U of T for eight terms (including summer courses), taking an average of four courses per term, and buying an average of four books per class. Although the price of books…

Pish with being cool and etc. I’m going to take a giant leap and be honest: It’s weird being a fifth year student. The buildings are all the same but now, the people in them are…different. I’m feeling like I…
