Time to Sign-Off!
My position as blogger for the Student Success Centre was way more than I expected it to be. Not only did it help add a different flavor of creativity to my days, but it also challenged me to stay organized, punctual, and develop my own writing skills. As I reflect back on my experience as SSC blogger, I had a lot of fun thinking of new content ideas and developing them into something worth reading. All in all, if you found even one post helpful or interesting, then I can call that an accomplishment!
Pop the Bubble Signs Out
To those who are leaving the campus, we tip our hats off to you. To those of who still have a couple more years being a part of this community, we cannot stress the importance of grabbing those hands-on opportunities. We encourage you to apply your academic knowledge and explore beyond the Westdale-Ainslie Grove bubble. Grab your binoculars, break free and POP that bubble! You may be surprised what you may discover about yourself. It’s been real, friends. Keep bubble popping!
