Seriously, ramen is my favourite food in the entire world. Every time my boyfriend asks what I want for Christmas or my birthday I say “nothing, just take me out for Japanese food.”
My friend Leah and I may go to Kinton Ramen this weekend and I’m BEYOND excited! I’ve never been, but she swears it’s a life changing experience. Eeeek, I can’t wait! Also exciting, my FINAL final exam is on Thursday and I’ll be done university forever!
Wish me luck! 🙂

I love this shirt and wanted to share it with you guys! It’s Brandy Melville’s “I Love You To The Moon And Back Tank” – what do you think?

Also, I’ve been eyeing these kind of shoes for a while now. They’re suede lace up booties. Buy? Or not buy? If you own these types of shoes, tell me in the comments what they think, worth the money? These ones are from Aldo (5 inches high). I feel like they’d go with EVERYTHING! But, will I wear them enough to get my moneys worth?

“There are many places in America where there are no sidewalks. What does that say about us? It says we either have to be in our car or in our house, or in the mall. There are only commercial spaces in almost all of America, or private spaces. You’re either trustpassing or you are buying.”

In my first semester of university EVER I had to complete a science perspective as part of my journalism program. I (thinking it would be a piece of cake) took a course called Environmental Hazards. Hurricanes? Earthquakes? Volcanoes? EASY! ….NOT! I felt like a complete foreigner. Science is not my strong suit and not at all what I was studying in school. I had no idea what I was learning nor what I was doing. Being in this class can only be described as me being hit by a bus for 3 straight hours.
When finals came along, I had to pass the exam of 200 multiple choice to pass the course. Yikes!
In the end, I DID IT!
Ended up with a 53% in the course and couldn’t be happier!
Never become a scientist. Check.
My highest mark in university was actually in my last semester EVER (funny how that works). Theatre is one of my minors, and in my last semester I took a class called Advanced Workshop: Performance. I’ve taken performance classes throughout university so I was familiar with the structure of the class. The most challenging assignment was our independent mask assignment. I had to perform something I remember, something I fear, and something I desire (it’s a lot more complicated than it sounds, but it’s the only way I can describe it).
One night after class, I rehearsed with my prof to get some feedback. In the middle of my performance I started to cry. I was shocked, I didn’t plan on crying, it just happened. She consoled me, told me to breathe, and said that being vulnerable on stage is the most beautiful thing an actor can do. This assignment was tough because every time I rehearsed it, I felt depressed. I now understand why professional actors can become emotionally unstable.
After I rehearsed and broke down in front of my prof (embarrassing), I thought I got all the tears out and wouldn’t cry during my final performance. But, I did. Despite going through a slew of emotions, it was one of my best performances EVER. I made people laugh, I made people cry, and (bonus) I got the highest mark in the class!
Ended up with an 86% in the course and couldn’t be prouder!
I go to U of T, you can only choose one.

Dancing On My Own – Robyn (Buzz Junkies Club Mix)
I’m in the corner, watching you kiss her
I’m giving it my all, but I’m not the girl you’re taking home
I keep dancing on my own
I can’t believe it.
My last UTSC soccer game and I not only scored twice, but my team won the CHAMPIONSHIPS! It’s an unreal, bittersweet feeling.
The game ended with the final score of 3-1. We played against our rivals UTM and throughout the entire game I couldn’t stop pacing. My adrenaline was rushing, heart was pumping, and palms were sweating because I didn’t want my last soccer game at UTSC to be a disappointment. During the game, there seemed to be an abundance of pushing, shoving, fouls, penalty kicks, and a few curse words being thrown every now and again.
Even though my body was aching from an all-day hockey tournament the day before, I was determined to not leave the field until I was wheezing and on the verge of fainting. We go hard in Scarborough.
If this team has taught me anything throughout the past four years, it’s determination, tenacity, and knowing you’re never alone – on or off the field. I can’t even begin to explain the friendships I’ve developed on this team. Whether these girls calmed me down on the field, gave encouragement, or had a laugh about our boy problems at practice, they always had my back.
I remember in my second year I was incredibly nervous attending tryouts. I didn’t know if I was good enough or if I’d get along with any of the girls. When I found out I made the squad, I never would have imagined the impact it would make on my university experience. I have so many great memories from being in this team. Everything from 7 a.m. practices, getting chased by coyotes, 12-minutes runs, team bonding, heart-felt change room speeches, smelly pinnies, yelling every second to check in and check out, funny e-mails from the coach, rookie nights, bus rides, athletic banquets, and most importantly, holding that championship trophy and knowing all that hard work you put in the entire semester has finally paid off.
This team meant the world to me and I hope other athletes, like myself at UTSC, can be able to experience what it’s like to be part of a squad that is not only dedicated but fun to be around.. and I guess being champions isn’t too bad of a quality to have either.
I’m sure going to miss it all.
Just 22 more days.
My unicycle and I never fail to amaze people.
Now, it seems it never fails me in school either.
I knew this useless talent would come in handy one day!
Is this real life?
