If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re still checking your schedule to remember what classes you have or somehow already wildly behind on your readings (I will catch up soon, I promise). <\/span><\/p>\r\n

But if you\u2019ve been keeping up with lecture notes like a responsible and functioning member of this academic institution, I salute you. You are an inspiration to us all. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Since school started, I\u2019ve been frequenting many of the same spaces. While this gets monotonous, I personally employ the use of an internal Disney soundtrack in my head - a strategy bound to make any mundane task seem fun. So on a related note, here\u2019s a second instalment of Once Upon a U of T, in hopes that when you enter the same places, you will remember these photos\u00a0and your day will be a little happier-ever-after.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\"A<\/a>When walking through a place designated the \u201cPhilosopher\u2019s Walk<\/strong>,\u201d it seems only obligatory to get into the mindset of deep intellectual thinking. The scenery certainly helps to facilitate this and the walk is often a peaceful and pleasant start to my morning. I\u2019m really looking forward to when the leaves start to change colour - the Philosophers\u2019 Walk is stunning to walk through at this time of year.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"A<\/a>\r\n

Ah, Robarts<\/strong>. It really is the central hub of our school. And much like Pride Rock, Robarts also shares the same visual appeal of a giant slab of concrete. Nonetheless, there\u2019s nothing like surrounding yourself with 14 floors of hard-working students to get you motivated to sit down and write that paper you\u2019ve been putting off. Plus it's\u00a0open 24\/7 during exam time! <\/span><\/p>\r\n\"A<\/a>The Green Beet<\/strong> is a vegan cafe located in Gerstein Library, another personal library of choice. The food always looks delicious\u2026 but I wouldn\u2019t really know because I\u2019m one of those people who obnoxiously monopolize the microwaves that are also present to warm up my own food. But I\u2019ve made a mental note to try the curried lentils sometime within the next month! The Green Beet<\/a> is also a space where you can freely talk without having to leave the library\u2026 so you don\u2019t feel guilty about leaving the library.<\/span>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>Occasionally,\u00a0<\/span>I head over to the UC Union Building<\/strong>, located beside the Commuter Student Centre, which organizes a (FREE) tea and cookies event every Monday-Thursday at 2:30, making this its own kind of Wonderland. The comfy couches and laidback atmosphere of the building are always a nice treat and escape from studying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/a>The thought\u00a0of a Disney villain in Hart House<\/strong> is not far off because that place\u00a0is so confusing that it can be frightening trying to navigate it yourself. But fear not; this massive building houses a lot of cool student resources, including photography classes<\/a>, cozy rooms<\/a> for hanging out, and Sammy\u2019s Student Exchange<\/a>. Check out Taryn\u2019s post<\/a> on her exploration through Hart House! Better sneak in a few extra days out on the patio before the weather gets too cold!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What are some places you commonly hang out in on campus<\/em>? Let me know in the comments or snap a photo of it and tag us on Instagram at @lifeatuoft<\/a>!<\/p>\r\n
