As a wannabe-purveyor of punk aesthetic, choosing to go to U of T downtown was quite beneficial. Toronto has a lot of… for lack a better term, variety. Whatever you are interested in can be found. If not, it can…
Work your writing
As a history specialist I’m always writing. I have protracted wars with my work on a regular basis; fighting diction in single combat; thrashing sentences apart only to stitch them back together again; that right word my constant nemesis, elusive…
Rooting for Residence
I can hear the wailing sirens from my window, piercing the crisp autumn air. In the parking lot, a marching band has bestowed me with a repetitive, heart-stabbing rendition (really, I want to stab myself) of an unintelligible song in…
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…

Ghost Hunt
I remember in Grade 5, when our class was in the deplorable portables, one day the lights in the hallway were turned off and we all ran about screaming and dancing and alleging the presence of a ghost outside our…
UofT Library Saga Part II: Protection
No. Not the kind of protection can be easily obtained from SEC (91 St. George St.). It’s easy to see how those things can be associated with libraries…but in this post I’ll be talking about something more serious. Having lived…
More Fish Stew: Heather is forced to investigate The Buttery
I don’t really like spending money at school on food, but at home there are just too many people in one small eating space. My grandparents are still here, still fixing “Cullen Skink” (smelly yellow fish stew) over-cooking meat, and boiling…
