If you have any suggestions, ideas or thoughts, we want to hear your voice, so we can\u00a0write about what interests you, and more readers can call UpbeaT their regularly weekly stop for everything student life. <\/span><\/span>\n\nThis summer we've also had the opportunity to start thinking ahead about this blogging year, and there are some exciting and interesting experiences that I would love to share with all of you. So in the first month or two, keep an eye out for a blast from the past! \ud83d\ude42 And of course, we'll look toward the promising future and write about events that you can engage in and challenge yourself.<\/span>\n\nFor those of you who are new to UpbeaT, and U of T in general, I understand that university can be a pretty scary place and because the competition is fierce, every student wants to stay on top of their game and ahead of the pack. With two years of university under my belt, and diving into a promising third year, I (like all the other UpbeaT bloggers) hope to remind you not only that there is more to student life than academics but also encourage you to take a leap and try something new. <\/span>\n\nUniversity is a wonderful place, and a safe-haven where you can be more than the sum of your parts - more than a brain or a body or a student or a male or female or a number - you can be whatever<\/strong><\/span> you want to be ... <\/span>and <\/span>that<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span> is a <\/span>very empowering experience.<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n\nI am SO excited - I've got so many crazy, exciting wonderful things to share with you this year and I think we are going to have a FANTASTIC TIME!<\/span>\n\nWelcome, Welcome, Welcome!!<\/span><\/span>\n\nWelcome back ... to U of T, and to <\/span><\/span>lifeatuoft! <\/span>\n\n- Fariya<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
