Tip #14

Mt Tip for Today is:

Just do it!

A couple days ago there was an announcement at school saying the university pins have arrived fro grade 12 students and that we can go pick them up at student services. I heard this and pretty much ran to student services (like literally ran). Once I got there I found the letter which was personally addressed to me and tore it open.There is was a bunch of random numbers; my university pin. I could not wait to get home so I could show my mom. She knows how anxious I've been about the whole situation. Once I got home I showed her and we both were excited for me to apply. But I didn't. Not yet at least. I don't know what I'm waiting for, I just don't want to send in pretty much everything I have been working towards since grade 1. I keep telling myself today is the day, but then I find some lame excuse as to why I can't do it. Ill notice: the kitchen could be tidied up; that I need to do laundry; I forgot to run my errands which I should do; or if I'm desperate enough, I'll even do all of my other homework and then tell myself I'm tired and watch Grey's for the rest of the night. That's okay though, I will do it this weekend for sure. I've promised to myself I would have it done before the holidays. So that I can (somewhat) be stress free over Christmas Break. I'm applying to the Business Faculty, which I am beyond excited about. I love everything they have to offer! The co-op programs, the courses, and the program is set up wonderfully. My first year courses are mandatory and already selected by the University. I find this great because then I don't have to stress later on about which courses I want to take! But none of this really matters if I don't apply soon! I will post about my application experience no later than Monday, I promise!

Tip #13

Today's Tip Is:
Be excited for the holidays!
The countdown is on; there are officially 21 days until Christmas! Until then; school work is going to be nuts. I am currently working on 3 different essays all due within the next few weeks. Wow, things are really crammed. For some reason teachers think its a great idea to assign a load of schoolwork to do over the break. I however, do not see what is so appealing about that. I mean come one, I want to spend quality time with my family where in a stress free environment. But sadly, I don;t think those exist anymore. A couple Christmases ago I was in Hawaii (I know right; poor me), and yet, I was freaking out the entire time about getting my work done. The only nice thing about having to read a book for school was when I got so sit on the beaches of Maui and soak up the sun while learning! Was Hawaii ever amazing. Last year I went to Maui as well and stayed in the same condo resort; Kamaole Sands. It was gorgeous; right across the street from the beach; Mai Tai Wednesdays; outdoor BBQ pits so we could cook dinner under the Hawaiian stars every night. It was truly amazing!

This was basically the view from our room! Nice, eh?
