What It's Like to Be a First-Year Uni Student, #2
So it’s finally reading week. Look at you go! You’re so excited you can hardly concentrate through your last class. Maybe you have a train to catch or a flight or a bus waiting for you. Maybe you’re hitching a ride with friends, or maybe like me, you’re fortunate enough to have your mum drive three hours to pick you up because she refuses to pay $40 for a bus ticket but will gladly drop that on gas.

2017 OSEU Strike: Refund
If you read my previous article, you will know that I'm a student in Ontario who is unable to attend class because the profs are on strike. I briefly mentioned in the article that there is a petition for students to get a tuition refund making the rounds on the internet, and I have seen many people confused as to what the petition is all about and why students are signing it, so I decided to write out a little explanation.

There's More to Life Than Waiting
There are many things I wish I could tell my younger self. At the ripe old age of 20 (I know, not very old, but I like to over exaggerate, doesn't everyone who's just had their adolescence snatched from them?) I've realised that I fell into many a trap that people my age did: obsessing with crushes to the point of scaring them away, keeping people around because I didn't want to be alone despite them being one of the reasons I felt undesirable as a friend, wanting to change every inch of my body to suit the ideal forced on young girls by the media and magazine culture... you know, pretty standard stuff.

Marching Band
In high school, joining the marching band was one of the best decisions I made. I made many amazing friends through the organization that I likely would have never met if I hadn’t joined when I did, and the experiences I received that I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t joined Marching band taught me so much that I would never have learned if I hadn’t decided to join. The hours of practice under the hot summer sun, in the cold rain, and in the freezing wind were enough to create a bond among the band that would have been hard to come by elsewhere. The strict schedule of marching band taught me responsibility and helped me learn to manage my priorities, and the ability to perform in front of large crowds weekly helped me grow more comfortable around people. Marching band positively impacted my teenage years more than most other aspects of my life.

From STEM to ESL. Top Story - October 2017.
Having dedicated (or sacrificed, depending on your point of view) the final 5 years of my 20s to taking a foundation degree in physics and maths, followed by a Bachelor’s degree in physics, I am frequently asked why I am an English teacher rather than a physics and/or maths teacher. Allow me to explain.

How To Respond When Someone Attacks Your Major
There are some majors out there where people are unsure of why you're getting a degree. I'm majoring in mass media broadcasting production with an emphasis in video production (TL;DR I want to go into filmmaking). I've gotten questioned about why I'm majoring in that because "You could just go and look up how to do what you're doing on the internet" or some version of that.
