As a graduating student, here is my personal list of things I want to complete before the end of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Visit all 40 libraries<\/a> at U of T<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over my six years of being a student, I have visited 32\/40 libraries! Hopefully I can visit one new library a week until I reach 40! My favourites would have to be Emmanuel College, Law Library, and Gerstein.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Pull an all-nighter at Robarts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I don\u2019t endorse pulling all-nighters before an exam, the idea of staying up after all my work is done, could be kind of fun\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Visit all the student-run caf\u00e9s on campus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To name a few: Caf\u00e9 059, Caffiends, Diabolos, and Hardhat Caf\u00e9 are on my list! I used to be a volunteer barista at Caffiends with my best friend, so this caf\u00e9 always has a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Visit the Earth Science Greenhouse<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teaching Plant Collection<\/a> has over 500 unique specimens and is located in glasshouses on the fifth floor of the Earth Sciences Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Get a drink from the Grad Student Union Pub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know there's a pub right on campus? Plus, they have a pool table!<\/p>\n\n\n

6. \u201cBuy\u201d something from the Free Store<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great sustainability initiative to give an item a second life, and make donations when I do my spring cleaning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Visit all the dining halls on campus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dining halls are open to all students (University College, New College), while others require students to use guest passes from a current student that belongs to their community (Victoria College, Trinity College). If any Trin students want to swipe me in, let me know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

8. Attend an AstroTour<\/a> and look through a telescope at McLennan Physical Laboratories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Book a pickleball court at the Athletic Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. See the Sakuras in bloom outside Robarts Library<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

11. Have a picnic on Front Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the weather warming up, I can\u2019t wait to see the quads flocking with students!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

12. Watch a play at Hart House<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Legally Blonde last year was AMAZING!! Check out what's showing<\/a> this year!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

18. Stroll down Philosopher\u2019s Walk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. Get a free Exam Ready kit<\/a> (March 17 \u2013 21, 2025)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop by the pop-up Exam Ready booths next week (March 17-21). These kits filled with essentials to help you stay focused, organized and energized during your study sessions!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

19. Graduate and take photos on Front Campus!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I graduated from my undergrad in 2023, Front Campus was still under construction and I wasn't able to take the iconic photos on the green grass in front of University College. I'm excited to make up for it at Convocation in June!<\/p>\n\n\n
