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…
An Emo Story of Melancholy and Resurgence…and Free Tea
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…
Start with safety
It started off with a simple stop at Tim Horton’s late on a Saturday night. I had just arrived back on campus from my weekly trip home and hunger had decided to manifest and multiply in my stomach, with a…
I went to Canzine and all I got was this lousy zest for life

Hallow’s Eve: Events and Resources at your Fiendish Disposal
All Hallow’s Eve approaches! My minions and I, mostly my minions, have gathered all the information we could possibly muster under the strains of the horrible, academic torturings of various professors of doom, who themselves are most likely enslaved by…
“So…what’s your availability like…?”
* ...I really wanted to do a post about food, but my grandfather is downstairs doing something to a fish....and I don't know what exactly it involves....but it smells strong and horrible and it makes me never eat again/die. So there will be no…
