The Student Spotlight Podcast

As a UofT student myself, in this episode I talk “All About UofT” from personal experience ranging from Social Life, Academia, Research, Residence, Extracurriculars, and UofT Culture. I hope that this informational EP can be helpful to incoming freshers who want some context when entering this fine institution. Enjoy! 

Cue a first year computer science bonanza! As the year comes to a close, here's an excitingly reflective EP featuring two of my 1st year CS friends at UofT, Eric and Arnav. Topics range all the way from software engineering struggles, course material critiques, and a personal email from Twitter's co-founder, Jack Dorsey. This EP is one to definitely not miss! (with an easter egg at the end ;D).  0...

This EP focuses on a self-introspective POV of the last 18 years of my life. Lessons vary from authentic synchronicities to the meaning of friendships. I guess here goes adult life from now on! 

As you may or may not know, the entire world is currently under siege by a microscopic enemy, called the novel coronavirus, aka COVID-19.  Virtually the entire world has been under quarantine and self-isolation to help do their part in saving the human species from extinction. It’s a tough time. For all of us. A lot of people are suffering and that pain takes a collective toll on the human race mo...

Marking the start of the Hack Lab Series, we are joined by Arsala Bangash, a senior computer science student and aspiring technological problem solver. From working at Google to local startups, Arsala spills the beans on the tech industry’s whirlwind of an environment! So join me in checking out this fellow beep boop beeper's exciting journey. 

A late night chat with Martine Campbell, a first year Physics student and aspiring future astronaut. We discuss all things existential like: the origin of the universe, alien life, black holes, and so much more. Stay tuned till the end where we take NASA’s Astronaut Aptitude Quiz to see if we are truly meant to be headed for the stars. It was a blast!

From being a physics major to now a second lieutenant, I am joined with Joan, a special Canadian forces army officer, to discuss her hectic, not-so-movie-like training stories, army friendships, and her action-packed agenda whilst living the Call of Duty life IRL. 

What's the difference between a top student and A-level student? Is there a difference at all? In this episode, we investigate this phenomenon through real life examples in our own student lives in academia and non-academia alike.

Fresh out of a computer science exam, I am joined by two featured guests and fabulous friends, Laura and Arnav, where we discuss our experience as computer science students finishing our first semester of university, woohoo.

What does clarity and focus look like in today's digital age? We explore this topic with wisdom from Elon Musk, new york imagery, a guided meditation, and finally, a warning.
