Summertime, and the living is easy

Now that the school year is done, the big question for university students is what are you going to do this summer? Some are doing summer courses, some are doing exchanges, some are working.

Summers in university are, for many students, about how you can use your time effectively; are you going to earn money? Get more credits and fast track your degree? Volunteer and get a new experience?

Take On The Challenge

I had my last meeting yesterday. I had my last exam yesterday. I'm doing my last shift at the GCSU office. I'm all packed up. First year is done.

I was trying to think of a defining word or theme for this "end-of-first-year" post. All I could think was how challenging it was. Your first year of university is challenge. However, something being a challenge doesn't always have to be a bad thing.

Flexibility is Key!

As my friends and I start to finish up our semesters of university and begin focusing on exams, our minds are also filled with thoughts of the future. Fellow first years and I are making decisions about what to do next year; did we enjoy our first year in our program? Upper years are focusing on what to do post-undergrad. Some are deciding on graduate schools, some are starting to think of jobs. Much of the time spent in university is dedicated to looking ahead and making plans. I, myself, love planning out the future; picking courses, looking a few years down the road and even helping my friends do the same.

Un Autre eAmbassador... eAmbassadeur?... Vlog! Avec Francette

Francette et moi ont fait un autre vlog à propos du français! :)

Here's also a blooper video since we had 20 minutes of extra footage after I edited these videos down! Enjoy! :)

I really hate the thumbnails that Blogger gives my videos.

Tick. Tock.

"In fourth grade I had an excellent teacher; Mr. McClellan. He had the ability to engage my class in a way that made us excited about education. He expertly created an atmosphere that was fun and inspiring. Since then, I have made it my lifelong goal to become an educator and inspire students to learn in the same way that I was inspired."

That's how my Personal Statement for my Concurrent Education application starts.
Yeah. I just applied for Concurrent Education. Literally. I pushed the submit button like 5 minutes ago. I'm reeling.
