You've tried everything – went to all the club fairs, checked out the Hart House, got on all the mailing lists, and scoured the streets for newsletters. You've just had to face it, there's no club out there that's just…
I Boogaloo-ed Electrically
Chris Berube (host of 89.5 CIUT’s Electric Boogaloo, fourth year U of T student and all around fabulous personage of the most stellar kind) offered me free cake. This is a picture of him right here. He looks like…
How to Build Relationships Based on Rare Encounters
Quick! "UofT students are disconnected from one another, and there's no sense of community whatsoever." True or false? If all test questions at UofT were this easy, I'd be well on my way to medical school by now*. While I…

I’m not going to lie - it’s very scary to find yourself a participant amidst a large group of people sitting in a circle and speaking French. I’ve been in Toronto for six years, and have found many opportunities to speak…

I Have Rented a Mug! (And I’m Happy About It)
Is it just me...or at the folks at Diabolos a little... "questionable content"-esque sometimes? Don't worry ya'll. It’s charming. Don't change. Ever. And keep it up with all that Soko on the speakers. Soko never gets tired. (side note: why do…
