Hello, I’m Chelsea. I’m 23 years old, from Ontario, Canada. I grew up in an affluent suburb where people weren't very nice to me, and now I live in the big city (Toronto). I recently graduated from the University of Toronto with a BA in English Literature and Book & Media Studies. I was the president of a student group there called Active Minds at UofT, from which this blog takes its name. I work as the Communications Manager for Healthy Minds Canada, where I manage their Supportive Minds blog, amongst other things.

Last week, some of you were wondering why I didn’t cover some of the other things happening in the League Universe (Arcade, Ornn, etc.) – it was because I got all excited about the Star Guardians and URF and ended up writing a whole bunch about those, and I didn’t want the post to be… Continue reading So Many Champions.

Be Smart, Not Mean

This week I acquired a whole bunch of champions: Leona and Taric with IP, Diana with RP, and Twitch from a chest. I haven’t really played any of them yet except Leona though. I played lots more ARAMs, many of which were games where the entire opposing team were bots (or almost all of them).… Continue reading Be Smart, Not Mean

Going Back To My Roots

No, not my hair (that happened a while ago, and not by choice…it’s a long story*). I finally bought LISSANDRA! Back when I had no concept of anything like “IP”, I thought I was going to main her, because I thought I’d have access to the starter champions forever. OH HOW WRONG I WAS! As… Continue reading Going Back To My Roots

I certainly can’t commit to doing two every week… Continue reading Why Don’t Junglers Ward?

Vel’Koz & The Supports

I tried a brand new (to me) champion this week, Jarvan IV. Or J4, as people apparently call him, which I think is hilarious because it makes him sound like a teen heartthrob. Or maybe just a teen magazine (J-14 – did anyone else read this when they were in high school? No? Just me?… Continue reading Vel’Koz & The Supports

A Chest Is Just A Fancy Box

I sure have played a lot over the past week! Between my boyfriend wanting to play whenever he’s home, and you lovely folks wanting to play with me the rest of the time (well, at the same time too, but you get it), I have a lot of options. Most games have gone the same… Continue reading A Chest Is Just A Fancy Box
