Objectively, the correct answer is \"nothing.\"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nLast Wednesday, I attended the annual Back to School BBQ <\/a>for the second year in a row, and it was amazing (synonym: scrumptious). A joint event hosted by the\u00a0UTSU<\/a>, BSA<\/a>, NSBE<\/a>, ASA<\/a>, and MSA<\/a>\u00a0outside the UTSU building -- the annual free BBQ is an excellent way of bringing together communities that are generally dispersed within the U of T campus. Whether we related on the basis of shared human experiences (or based on the fact that we chose 'U of T squirrel' as the animal that best captures our spirit), for those 2 hours, we were all back to school, holding our burgers, hot dogs, and smiles.\r\n\r\n
\"Students<\/a>
Students in their natural habitat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nThe BBQ\u00a0went seamlessly, and I could only wonder if Claire Huxtable planned it. (Just to be clear, that was a joke. The dedicated members of the groups listed above were solely responsible for the BBQ, not a fictional character.\u00a0Just to be clear.)\r\n\r\nI had the chance to catch up with\u00a0a lot of my friends. A lot of different friends, from different social groups -- whether they were my friends from Trinity, or my friends from the BSA. They all came out for this one event. It was amazing to see, especially on one of the last sunny days that we may be having for a while!\r\n\r\n

Tiffany and M'kaylah, the respective Vice-President and President of the BSA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nThe Back to School BBQ is an event that fulfills every facet of being an excellent student event. It a) brings people together, b) invokes intellectual discussion, and c) free food. I thank the groups that dedicated their time to set up this event in the name of building a better student community for U of T.\r\n\r\n

M'kaylah didn't like this picture of her, but I liked how I looked in it. We compromised!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nMake sure to check out their upcoming events throughout\u00a0the school year! Especially the BSA -- they're having a 90's & 00's throwback party on\u00a0Thursday!<\/a>\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D6v_AiUK5mk","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
