Choosing a Program As a Carleton University Tour Guide, this time of year I talk to many students who are at the important decision making point of which university to attend and what program to choose. Since I am involved in three different programs at Carleton, I thought I would share some of my thoughts on why I chose each program. Of course, this is just my personal perspective. If you have any specific questions about the programs, it’s a... Read more

Hello everyone, Sorry it has been a while since my last entry, school has been crazy as usual. What makes school even harder at this time of year is the wonderful weather we are having! It feels like we almost completely bi-passed spring and have jumped right into summer! The gorgeous weather outside makes sitting inside writing papers even harder, but makes campus that much more lovely. As soon as the gorgeous weather hits, it... Read more
Hello all, Its the most wonderful time of the year! Well, not quite yet. Right now its officially exam season and I can proudly say that this year is the first year that I’m actually managing to keep the stress levels down, and the studying on schedule. I now feel a little more qualified to share some of my personal tips about getting through the exam season and onto thoughts of sugarplums and more delicious... Read more
Well, its that time of year again – first semester midterms. This becomes obvious as I sit on the comfy couches in the atrium in the University Center writing this blog post. Normally, this hangout spot serves as a quick stop for students to have a coffee between classes, or check something on their laptops, but today its full of students camped out working on assignments and studying for tests. Looking around at the current... Read more

So, its that time of year again. And now that I’m in third year, I’m no stranger to what I call the back to school shuffle. As summer came to ca close, I once again got that familiar nervous feeling that back to school can bring (even when you are 20!). But I also got this weird feeling that there were things I needed to prepare for that I was neglecting. In first year, the... Read more

Hello Again! Well, we are finally into summer (yay!) and I have to say that winter in Ottawa seems less harrowing now that the gorgeous weather is here! This week we have enjoyed constant sun, warm temperatures, and something unique to Ottawa – the Tulip festival! Okay, I know, it sounds like something your grandmother might enjoy (and she probably would!) but as I found out, its something that everyone can enjoy! This past weekend... Read more

After finishing my second year here at Carleton, I can now look forward to my first summer in Ottawa. Second year was definitely both challenging and rewarding. In my first year I dealt with the new challenges of living away from home for the first time in a new city, figuring out the difference between what was expected of me in high school vs. what was expected of me in university and writing university exams...

What normally would be a painstaking 2.5 hours on campus is now one of the best parts of my week! If your one of those unfortunate souls (like myself) that finds yourself with a lecture from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. and then waiting around campus for a discussion group from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, then have I got a great solution for you! From 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. on Friday’s I... Read more

It started out as a promise to a friend. As a warm weather lover, I have been avoiding the cold Ottawa winter like the plague. However, my roommate was excited to get out and skate on the canal and I knew a little part of me was too. So after putting it off for many days, I finally promised her that on Sunday I would go skating with her no matter what. Little did I... Read more

Re-charged (at least somewhat) from the Christmas break and here we are starting another semester. Coming out of exams and approaching at least a few new classes, I find myself more motivated than ever to involve myself in as much of my academic experience as possible. This feeling is common around the start of a new semester and a new year. Unfortunately, this rarely lasts much longer than the first few assignments or trips to... Read more
