End of the Term
As we all know, the end of the term is readily approaching. However, there’s no need to worry because you’ve done this before! I know it may seem insurmountable, but you’ve just got to stay focused and keep what’s really important in mind: your success and freedom. I think it’s safe to say that we all want to do well and succeed, but in order to do so, we have to maintain a positive attitude and constantly work hard to achieve our goals. The end of the term can be stressful for many different reasons.
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!
