apps, extensions, and tools – oh my!
Hello and welcome to another edition of apps + chrome extensions + nifty sites with Vicky! I honestly need to sit down and come up with a better name for these things, it’s getting to be kind of a mouthful. I know I normally do these separately but I haven’t been doing anything drastically different… Read More apps, extensions, and tools – oh my!
spotlight on: just love pie
The scene above might be in my top 10 Marshall moments from How I Met Your Mother because not only do I love charts, but I also really love pies. I don’t know why I ever bother telling people that I love pies because I’m pretty sure we all love pies so that’s just a… Read More spotlight on: just love pie
spotlight on: balzac’s coffee (kitchener)
Supposedly there is to be a Waterloo location of Balzac’s soon but that mythical location has not opened yet (to my knowledge) and I am very sad that I still have to go all the way to Kitchener for dope coffee. Honestly, it’s worth the trek, but we really need to be bringing more of these… Read More spotlight on: balzac’s coffee (kitchener)
essential app roundup: fall 2016

apartment tour 2016
Living with strangers seems to be some kind of necessary university experience I’ve subjected myself to 3 times already.

Needless to say, I was pretty excited to move into a place… Read More apartment tour 2016
essential apps for your mac
Beyond the apps that you should have installed already for general computer usage (Chrome, Drive, Dropbox, VLC, Spotify) I have other favourite apps on my Mac that I use quite a bit. They either make my life easier, or make it easier to procrastinate and be lazy. Either way, I love technology.
on the quest for motivation
It’s exam season and I’m sick. I thought at first my throat was just blown from going way too hard at The Killers’ set at Wayhome. But now it’s been more than a week and I’m still feeling under the weather (read: coughing fits, phantom smells??, headaches, sore throat) so I don’t think I can blame… Read More on the quest for motivation
excel-ing at organization [hioml pt. 3]
If you couldn’t tell with the previous instalments of the HIOML series, I really like making sure I stay organized during school. So last year I created a readings tracker.
Yeah, you read that right – I track all my readings because I’m not even going to try to hide that I’m a neurotic nerd.… Read More excel-ing at organization [hioml pt. 3]
calen-do’s! [hioml pt. 2]
HIOML = How I Organize My Life I know, what a cheesy acronym right? Part 1 (which I’m going to go an retroactively change the title of right now) is the post from last year about me and my course tracker Excel sheet, which you can read if you still need to do that thing.… Read More calen-do’s!
