Reading Week has come to an end, but I hope everyone had a productive and\/or fun week to catch up and\/or relax!\r\n\r\nAs much as I would like to talk about my own Reading Week for this post, there are only so many words I can use to describe \u201cSlept for 8+ hours a day, not including naps.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0For some fun Reading Week shenanigans definitely check out what Amie<\/a>, Rachae<\/a>l and Ondiek<\/a> have been up to.\r\n\r\nThe first day of Reading Week was a holiday that many people have very strong opinions about: VALENTINE'S DAY!\r\n\r\n
\"Picture<\/a>
Love is in the air!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately my Valentine\u2019s Day plans weren\u2019t as great as I\u2019d hoped, so for this week\u2019s post, I am going to switch it up and share my feelings through an open letter to my (former) Valentine:\r\n\r\nDear Netflix,<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTo be honest, I\u2019ve never been into extravagant plans on Valentine \u2019s Day, but I\u2019ve never been one to think of this holiday as a corporate, over-commercialized, capitalist holiday either. What I\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>like is the idea behind it. Celebrating love.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe both know that Valentine\u2019s Day is not just about loving significant others but also about loving everyone in our lives. But, I feel like I don\u2019t have the time to love. Because of you Netflix, I feel smothered. I feel like you're taking over my life. I want to love other things. I want to love my studies, my student groups, and my job. I want my life back. I want to explore my own interests, not just what YOU recommend.\r\n\r\n
\"Picture<\/a>
Just when I think I'm out, that face pulls me back in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nI think it's time for us to see other people. It's\u00a0not you, it's me.\r\n\r\nXoxox. Sincerely,\r\n\r\nApi\r\n\r\nI\u2019m not going to go too much into my terrible relationship with Netflix. It had its flaws, but in hindsight, the relationship had a lot of great parts too. We had a good run, but it's time to find new things to fall in love with. In my first year it was a program. Sometimes it was a job. This year, it was a conference. There\u2019s still so much more to explore. The journey ends here for Netflix, because it was holding me back from doing what I truly wanted (like being productive), but it's just the beginning of a whole new journey!\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s all about finding the things that you love. Isn\u2019t that what Valentine's Day is all about? So I know I\u2019m going to listen to Drake's advice<\/a>. Try to get out there and FIND YOUR LOVE.\r\n\r\nLet me know what you're finding down in the comments or on Twitter at @Api_UofT!<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
