Introduction

Many people lead busy lives that involve a long work or school day, or in some cases both. Majority of workers and students dread mondays and do the daily countdown until the weekend, in which some tension and stress from the previous week is released. How people spend their weekends often varies, some spend the entire thing on their couch, watching Netflix or indulging on items from their fridge. Others spend it with their families catching up on some needed quality time, along with that come the health fanatics that will spend an obsessive amount of time at the gym to make up for the possible missed time during the week. Most commonly people will engage in activities with their friends, whether that be dining at a restauraunt, or partying in a club or bar. The point is, there are a number of ways to spend your weekend, which one would i suggest... the one that suites your personality or priorities best. Personally, I am a student in college with a drive to do well in my education, but enjoy the nightlife of Toronto and have experienced a lot of different aspects and experiences I would like to share. Everything is good in moderation, and I believe that with a good balance of work and play one can be successful, as long as the ultimate goal of that individual does not get lost along the way. There are a variety of things that the "nightlife" includes, most individuals have the perspective that it just involves going to an area with strobe lights and getting shit faced while dancing, which is only a small portion of what being out a night in toronto could really involve. If your goal is to get drunk then by all means, there are many options in which one can do so, but after a while (speaking from personal experience) it gets tiring and draining, not to mention puts a dent in your bank account. So what else could a night on the town involve, well in the summer there are a variety of options such as various restauraunts, summer festivals, boat cruises, sheesha lounges, music festivals, and other alternatives. In the winter there is skating locations, winter festivals, sheesha lounges, places to eat as well as movie theatres. Throughout the blog I will touch on a variety of different places with my personal experience as well as reviews from others to give the reader an idea of some of the things that make the toronto nightlife so great, and what you can do to make your weekend what you want it to be.

  1. A good start Laurel but of course a blog like this needs pictures - you're gonna have to get a photo system happening, either your phone to Picasa or ? To blog. I would use bloggers own photo hosting system Picasa if thats still around. We want to see all the things you talked about and if you put 6-12 pics in every post you'd be the most popular new event blogger on the scene by Film Fest.
