I will attend all classes/tutorials/peer assisted study sessions (PASS): I know that I have mentioned this before in previous blogs, but I cannot stress how important it is for students to attend lectures and their accompanying components, such as tutorials.

Hello everyone! With exams nearly upon us, I decided that I better write another blog entry to keep you updated on my life before I am too consumed with papers and exam prep! H.M. Tory Society Holiday Reception: I was recently fortunate enough to engage with many Carleton University donors at the H.M. Tory Society Holiday Reception. It was through my involvement with the Carleton University Host Program that I was able to participate in... Read more

Hello everyone! With midterms quickly approaching (and already upon us in some cases) I figured that it would be good to write up a quick blog to inform everyone of what I have been up to! As Cailey mentioned in her blog, recently myself and a few other students (including Amisha – another one of Carleton’s friendly neighbourhood bloggers!) from Carleton were lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel to Toronto for the Ontario...

Hello everyone, I can’t believe that it’s almost October already! It feels like just the other day it was the beginning of September and now Thanksgiving is looming in just a few weeks. I have been very busy with school as of late, so why don’t I bring you up to speed. Last week, Carleton Oxfam, the campus group that I am president of, had a very successful charity night to raise funds for the... Read more

Hello everyone! Before I begin, let me apologize by saying that I had every intention of writing more blogs this summer but was simply too bogged down with work and family functions! However, before I jump right into my next blog post let me fill you in on my summer in 100 words or less. Once I got back from my family vacation in Canmore, Alberta, I started work at a provincial cable, internet, security... Read more

Hello there everyone! I am currently writing to you from underneath mountains of blankets and tissues with my trusty vitamin C in hand. If you haven’t already guessed it, I’m sick. This blog is dedicated to being sick in university and how you can avoid ending up bleary eyed and coughing like yours truly! Sickness: Well for starters, I am definitely not a doctor and not a health professional by any means, but I will... Read more

Hello there everyone! Since it’s about the time that prospective students are beginning to finalize university plans, I figured that now would be a good time to re-emphasize why Carleton was my top choice for university! My main reasoning for coming to Ottawa, specifically Carleton, for university was the Human Rights program. In high school I debated on whether or not I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, and in the end, lawyer... Read more

Hello there everyone! I am currently writing to you from the good old Winnipeg airport while I wait out my layover before embarking for Ottawa. Its funny how differently one looks at airports once the glamour of flying home for the holidays turns into dread when it is once again time to board the plane and head back to school. Don’t get me wrong though, I do love Carleton and the city of Ottawa, however,... Read more
