New Year, New Me?

Well well well…

It’s another new year.

And after a pretty unexciting year has past, I feel the need to rev up for 2019. Don’t get me wrong- last year brought me many good things- I graduated from my masters, I made lots of great friendships, I was more social than I could have ever expected.

I also had a few resolutions. I wanted to drink water (which I definitely did), I wanted to find a job,…

New Years resolutions

Although many say that people never change, I’m still trying. Another year has passed, and as we saw last week in my Year in Review, most of my resolutions were huge successes! So in light of another new year, here are my new resolutions: Learn to be independent financially don’t begin to pay off my university debt. That’s right, as a soon-to-be graduate, I have my fair share of debt, so this…

Year in Review: 2017

Well, it’s that time of year again… time to write down how I will do better next year and review all of the ways I didn’t do it last year. Here is how 2017 looked for me: Drink more water: This year I actually decided not to write this down as a resolution, because every year I write it down and almost every year I don’t. So instead, I started trying to carry a water bottle with me and keep a…

Naughty or Nice

Merry Christmas Eve! As the holidays come and go every year, we all question whether we made Santa’s naughty or nice list. This year, I have been cultivating a list of the season’s naughty and nice things. What have you been? The roads (be safe!). Finding the perfect gift. Passive aggressive people/ people in a rush. Sending letters to far away friends. My car, which is dirty no matter the…

How to Navigate Grad School

So you have decided you want to try your hand at grad school? As a semi-graduate from a Masters Degree, I feel that I finally have the expertise to tell others about my experience (and those around me). Here are a few things you need to be aware of: Fellow Students: They will be just as confused as you are, especially when it comes to figuring out contracts, funding, conflicting office opinions.…

An Interview With My Best Friend

This week I figured I’d let someone else do the work for me. She is fierce, fabulous and made of tin….she is my closest friend… ….she’s a trash can! well, not really… but close. This week is a small interview with my best friend: Christina! B: How did we meet? C: Is it bad that I genuinely don’t remember the first time we actually met? I feel like it was in passing in a hallway. What I DO…

Learning a Language/ Een Taal Leren

As many of you know I am attempting to learn Dutch. A beautiful language of a country I admire. So for the first time, I am attempting to write a post in both English and Dutch. You decide you want to learn a language. Je besluit dat je wilt een taal leren. You start strong. Jij hebt een sterke start. But you quickly give up when you reach something too hard. Maar je geeft snel op als je iets…

22 Things I Learned at 22

22 Things I Learned at 22

That’s right! It’s that time of year again, where I reflect on my past year, with some sub-par advice and some pictures that don’t really belong here. A pouch isn’t just an accessory, its a way of life. Fewer close friends are better than a bunch of acquaintances Be wise, moisturize. Being an independent worker is hard, but it let’s you do what you want. Financing is tough, but a necessary skill…

What Happened to Feminism?

What Happened to Feminism?

Why are women scared of being called a victim? a bitch? or any other word that demonizes them? Why do women shy away from the word feminist, when at its core, is a movement for equity, not persecution. I realized recently that what the world needs (aside from many other things) is the presence of more female voices and female role models. Now, I know that may not be a role model (per se) but I am…

The Great Canadian Roadtrip

The Great Canadian Roadtrip

Recently my friends and I drove from Vancouver, British Columbia to St.Catharines, Ontario, a 44 hour drive. I won’t say that the footage is the best, but it is our journey and it is relatively caught on camera. Moments to watch for:  Kayla almost getting puked on while whale-watching  Majestic man on the whale-watching boat  Kayla coming out of the pool with water on her face  Kayla attempting…

Back to School as Told by Dwight Schrute.

Back to School as Told by Dwight Schrute.

Dwight Schrute is my favourite character from NBC’s the Office, and it just happens that his character exemplifies how I feel about going back to school. So summer is almost over…. …and you have to decide which of your personalities to introduce yourself with. When your professor starts sending emails before school starts.   When you have to introduce yourself to the class. When you manage to…
