FOR DOWNTOWNERS WHO LOVE SNOW – THIS WAS THE WEEK WINTER FINALLY ARRIVED
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO STUDENTS ‘RELIVE THEIR CHILDHOODS’ WITH A CAMPUS SNOWBALL FIGHT
They came from all three campuses and beyond to play in the snow. Madina Siddiqui and Frishta Bastan planned the event to lighten the spirits of students bogged down with mid-terms and assignments.
Jonathan Cassin, a fourth year student, said “everything was fun, but the spontaneity of it is what really made it special. It brought all kinds of students together, from arts and science to engineers.”
Plans are to make this an annual event. PHOTOS – Jennifer Su/The Varsity – http://www.thevarsity.ca
Rain last night, then freezing rain, then snow, more rain, then more snow . . . etc
