The benches in front of Tim Hortons in the B-wing hallway are busy at all times, the line for Tim Hortons never seems to be short. The students that sit in the hallway are meeting up there with their friends, or discussing their assignments with each other, while students set up their groups there, to aware people about their clubs.

The big Tim Hortons located in B-wing has big black and brown walls with a big glass window where students are able to see who is passing by in the B-wing hallway while enjoying their coffee and beverages. The biggest impact of the students who chose to sit there seem to be Tim Hortons. They come and grab their coffee with their friends, they sit on the chairs inside of Tim Hortons which are not always available. The workers inside Tim Hortons work as fast as they can to keep the line going. The noises of "next in line" or the call of numbers for your orders is always echoing. The smell of coffee with baked potato wedges and toasted bagels is spread around the hallway. The Tim Horton is now located where the old Book Store of UTSC was. The hallway seems more popular now because of the big space area to stand, sit, talk. or eat.

The time between 12:00 to 12:30pm is busy when the lectures from AC and HW are ended, students started to show up from both ends of the hallway. The line for Tim Hortons grew longer, the place started to feel overcrowded all of a sudden, some students started rushing to get to their next lectures, many students started to meet up with their friends, groups that were set up their stopped few students to play a little activity with them and discuss what their club is about.

I noticed few students sitting beside me feeling excited, they were excited to see what will come next for them at UTSC, maybe they are first year students. I overheard them talking to each other, one of the girl said "I cannot believe we are almost done first year, and I still do not know where most of the lecture halls are". This reminded me of when I was in first year and how fast my first year passed by and I realized at the end how different university is from high school. The lifestyle of university and how we adapt the environment in different ways changes us within our 4 years of university.

A group of students came and sat in front of me, they had balloons, gifts, cupcakes and one of the girl was holding a cake in her hand. Two girls walked near them and they all shouted "Happy Birthday" to one of them. She jumped with excitement, everyone started looking at them and clapping. The friends hugged her and gave her gifts and balloons. I noticed how students create memories with one another to look back at them when they graduate. Since the B-wing hallway is filled with students and it is always loud, students feel they are able to celebrate in the hallway.

While sitting in the hallway I noticed many details that I do not get noticed when I am rushing to my lecture or even sitting there with my friends. This time I noticed banners hanging off the balcony from the top that students probably have created to promote their clubs. The banners were colourful and big writing of red that said "Fairness for Students". As I was looking at the banners I saw students standing on the top looking down from the balcony and talking. One of them yelled a student's name out loud from the top to get his attention and told him to come up which was a nice way to communicate.
