My favourite thing to do in Sackville is...

De-stress and relax at Waterfowl Park! There are so many pretty faunae to spot, and absolutely gorgeous views from the boardwalks—especially in winter, when the town is blanketed under so much snow. The park is a much-needed getaway spot from my studies, and I would highly recommend you use it to clear your mind if you start to feel overwhelmed!

Favourite Mount A memory (so far)...

Celebrating the end of finals and my birthday on the same day by heading out to one of the local pubs with my friends!

Advice I would give to incoming students...

Take opportunities when they come, and don't hesitate to get assistance when you need it. Throughout your time here, opportunities for growth will present themselves to you, such as jobs, volunteer work, research, teaching assisting, and more! You want to bolster your qualifications over the next 4+ years, so that when you leave the undergraduate level, you are prepared for what you decide on next. If this seems like a daunting goal to set for yourself, don't worry! You're surrounded by readily available help, whether that be in the form of the Meighen Centre, academic advisors, your professors and their office hours, or your friends!

How have I changed since coming to Mount A...

Living away from my family has made me very self-sufficient, and more aware of things I have to keep track of myself, such as the way I eat, my mental health, and my responsibilities. It has all made me more confident in myself and my capabilities.
