<\/figure>\n\n\n\n1. The U of T Knitting Club<\/a> (U of T Knits)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs a knitter, I jump at the chance to meet other people who love this hobby just as much as I do. Knitting is a fantastic way to de-stress and calm yourself. Since I\u2019m someone who loves keeping my hands busy, I feel knitting helpful because I can do it while watching Netflix, chatting on the phone with a friend or listening to a podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"blue](\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-15-at-9.01.45-AM.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. The U of T Baking Club<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOkay, I have to admit, I only recently got back into baking when my previous roommate taught me how to make white bread. While I used to bake daily in middle school, I no longer have the time or energy to create detailed pastries, cakes and tarts. While I\u2019m a full-time student without much free time, I\u2019ve also heard that baking is synonymous with relaxation<\/em>, and I\u2019ve definitely experienced this fact first-hand. Plus, there is nothing as exciting and mouth-watering as the aroma of freshly-cooked white bread or chocolate chip cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with the U of T Baking Club on Instagram<\/a>, where they often share yummy recipes for pies, carrot cake muffins, chocolate cake truffles and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Bookends<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs a self-pronounced book nerd, I\u2019m already a member of this club. While we weren\u2019t able to meet in person last year, I enjoyed keeping up with the group and reading all the books of the month. For example, the July book of the month was \u201cSuch A Fun Age\u201d by Kiley Reid, and I\u2019ve been super excited to read this one, because I\u2019ve heard great things about it. Due to taking summer classes, I didn\u2019t end up getting around to this read, but I\u2019m hoping to dive in during the fall semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"a](\"https:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2021\/08\/Screen-Shot-2021-08-15-at-9.06.53-AM.png\")

I think this club is super necessary, and it\u2019s important to have extra-curricular supports that encourage students to prioritize their help and safety, above all else. Mental health professionals are a great way to seek help, but peer support can also be really impactful and a good resource for maintaining a healthy mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
