\nI’ve got some shocking news: askastudent is not the only person on campus with useful information and awesome opinions. I know, it sounds crazy, but sometimes it’s good to hear what other people have to say. aska top 5’s is a regular feature that lets a diverse lineup of interesting UofT folk share some of their tips, which might range from incredibly practical to incredibly disturbing. this time on aska: Adele Madonia <\/p>\n

1. PARTY FOR A CAUSE! Not that you needed another reason to party, but if you party with this group, 100% of your cover charge will be donated to charity (the group focuses on development organizations). Check them out at http:\/\/party.sa.utoronto.ca or join the mailing list by emailing partyforacause@utoronto.ca.<\/p>\n

2. Don’t expect anyone to care about you getting into grad school. It doesn’t matter if the whole class is smart enough to be in law or med school. U of T will only allow a few people to get over 80%. If this is a problem for you, switch schools while you still can.<\/p>\n

3. 85% at U of T is the equivalent to writing a perfect paper or test (at least in Arts). If you do incredibly on an essay, and there are no negative comments, this is the mark you will get.<\/p>\n

4. Get involved. There are ton of amazing groups doing amazing things at U of T. A list can be found at sa.utoronto.ca. If you don’t get involved, you’ll meet way less people, especially because the school is so big.<\/p>\n

5. Take advantage of the services that are offered to you (for FREE) as a student. There are essay help services, child-care services, counseling services, tax-filing services, and athletic facilities. Never again in life will these things be available to you for free!<\/p>\n

here’s why you should listen to Adele: last year Adele ran what is easily the largest, most successful student group of recent memory. Her group, party for a cause reconciles the previously alienated bodies of students that are really into causes, and students that are really into parties. 2 birds, one stone. Adele is living proof of what all you keeners should realize: getting involved in something non academic can be very enjoyable. All you whiners who winge about ‘oh, I’m such a loser, I study and play WoW all the time and where are all the girls?’ should start partying, cause or no cause. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
