BOO! Did we scare you? Contrary to popular belief, midterms aren't the spookiest thing going on at U of T this time of year! Many students agree all over campus that U of T is, indeed, haunted. For the non-believers…
It’s October, the seasons are changing, there’s beautiful colours all around us, and it’s the time for cozy sweaters and hot chocolate. It’s also the time of ghosts and ghouls, scary movie marathons and of course -- CANDY. It’s also…
It’s pretty hard to catch a yawn off zoom classes and nobody’s going to share a Timbit with you anymore. It’s hard to listen to someone and even harder to grasp their body language from just their face or impossible…
Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved Halloween. There’s something so exciting about getting to be someone completely different, if only for one night out of the year. I always looked forward to our annual trip to Walmart to…
Halloween is today, my friends, which means it’s time for some last-minute prep before doing whatever super cool, super spooky things you may have planned. As a lover of all things candy, I’ve put together a little list of things…
Right off the bat, let me just say that I've never been a huge fan of Halloween. I'm not particularly fond of dressing up or anything of the spooky and scary variety, but I will tell you: I LOVE candy and all things magical/fantastical. That's why, for the past couple years, including this year I've been professing my love for Harry Potter on Halloween. I've been a fan of the Harry Potter series for a very long time and it doesn't hurt that U of T is basically an architectural twin of the magical universe.
For Halloween, I recommend watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because it is one of the most classic, spooky films in the series (before the darker and scarier themes are set in the later films). In celebration of Halloween and all things spooky (including those remaining midterms), here's the rundown on the two most Hogwarts-like buildings on campus. Whether you choose to visit for studying or dreaming about Hogwarts is your choice, but personally, I usually choose the latter. Also, because I mentioned that I love candy (love it, I really do), these buildings are rated on a scale of being most like Hogwarts to least like Hogwarts:

Happy November all!
What if I told you I have absolutely no idea how much I weigh? In fact, I haven’t weighed myself in years!
It wasn’t always this way. In high school, I was a member of the school’s wrestling team. During wrestling season, not only was I acutely aware of my weight to the fraction of a kilogram, but so was my entire team. On top of that, I was responsible for maintaining or manipulating my weight in preparation for tournaments, so I could be at my "most competitive".
Halloween is over, so we’re officially allowed to countdown to Christmas right?
I LOVE holidays, especially Christmas. I can’t wait to see the city all dressed up and to go gift shopping and skating in Nathan Phillips square.
In the spirit (tee hee, see what I did there?) of Student Life’s fifteen-minute leaf walks on campus—and also in the spirit of Halloween—I have decided to create a walking route of my own. Autumn leaves may be a tad more picturesque in terms of dead things you can observe on a walk, but ghosts are cool too.Without further ado, I present to you my campus ghost walk!
I LOVE holidays, especially Christmas. I can’t wait to see the city all dressed up and to go gift shopping and skating in Nathan Phillips square.
