Cue the Tears

Semester Two Course Review
I’ve just hit the point in the semester where everything seems to be due at once, and trust me, it is not fun. Four essays in two weeks has definitely not been a highlight of the semester for me. But with these four essays, I’ve found it to be a perfect time to...

The last week of University before mid-semester break is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it means you are so close to being free to do everything you normally do, but without the guilt and stress. A curse because it tends to be the busiest week of...
