Tips that Help Me Through University!

Here are my tips for University that might help you out and make you feel a little more comfortable! :)

1. Reading books that you are super interested in, aside from your course readings.
2. Laugh A LOT, laughing is the best remedy for stress!
3. Meeting new people through jobs and organizations.
4. Meditation really helped me, check out youtube for some guided meditation! (The RED Zone team does this every Monday and Friday morning to get prepared!)
5. Using the gym on campus to keep me active (it is only a 15 dollar membership!!!!)
6. Using the Library to get productive!
7. Going to all of my classes, I only missed them when I was REALLY sick!
8. Finding a really awesome way of keeping yourself organized (I colour coordinated all of my classes, assignments, outside involvement, etc on a piece of paper near my computer each week).
9. Using all of the resources avaible to you (The College, Career Centre, YU Connect, Library).
10. Keeping an open mind and a positive attitude (I like to do Yoga and read Zen living to keep me positive)!




Let me know what you are going to do to help yourself through University! :) I cannot wait to hear from you.

Sustainability? Yes Please!!!

Up until this morning I was unaware that I could be a Sustainability Ambassador for York University! Once I found out I signed up right away! This is an awesome initiative! You can pledge to do a few things to help out our environment.

Check it out the Sustainability Ambassador link and see what you think! http://www.yorku.ca/susweb/ambassadors/

Who is going to do this as well? If you have any questions just let me know!
