Take a Break
Sometimes, if I focus on one thing for too long, it feels like my brain might melt and lazily drip out from my ears. It isn’t a nice feeling. Chances are you know what I’m talking about (minus the melting…
The Faculty of Music is Pretty Cool.
When most of us think about music events, we think about concerts and shows that might be happening around the city or maybe even by our faculty or program. Chances are, those aren’t free. So, I thought, U of T…

Thinking About My Future (Briefcase)
This week I stepped out of my comfort zone.
After receiving an invitation to an Arts & Science Backpack to Briefcase (b2B) event, I found myself shimmying into business casual work attire after a seven-hour school day. Having plans on a Thursday night is pretty unusual for me, considering my average Thursday night routine consists of pajamas, a couple hours of reading, tea and probably frozen pizza.
The Backpacks to Briefcase event I attended was for students interested in fields relating to the Health Sciences. If you have been following the blog for a while, you may know that I am constantly waiting to have that *Eureka!* moment where I suddenly know what I want to do with my life. I figured that maybe the b2B might show me some job opportunities I could create for myself using my degree.
The event itself was extremely educational, and it was really nice to have a reason to connect with students who, like me, were also concerned that they wouldn’t find a “dream” job with the degree they had chosen. Being a second year student, I was one of the youngest attendees — however, I think my youth might have improved the event for me because I wasn’t just learning from the alumni but also my fellow upper years.
