My Post-grad journey at Sheridan College started last summer and to say that life has changed.. just might be an understatement. I think that coming to college has made me a better version of myself. For example: I thought that I was good at organization and time management, now I realize I was maybe okay at it, now with six courses per semester and endless assignment, I can proudly say that my skills have been taken to the next level. I sometimes, marvel at how I got through university…. the amount of work I have had to put in, these past seven months, makes my four years of undergrad feel like a vacation.
That being said, it hasn't been all work work work. There have been fun days and through out this journey, I was never alone. I had my professors, my wonderful class of eight students and then some :)
School isn't over just yet! I have got my notice of graduation and the countdown has begun - April 24th is officially my last day at Sheridan. There are a few things I would like to say to future post-grad students:
- For starters, don't be afraid to ask for help on assignments. I will admit there have been time where I look at an assignment and think… W T F….. once I am over the shock, I will do whichever sections I can and the rest, I have gone to my teachers or friends for a little bit of assistance. The catch here is - you have be proactive! Don't ask for help on assignments the night before…. we both know that isn't a good idea.
- Secondly, CHILL OUT!! I know we have multiple assignments due every day of the week. So? You aren't the first to have this happen and you won't be the last. Stop Stressing and take a break. It is amazing what taking a moment away from your laptop can do for you.
Make the most of your year. It really does go by so fast - I am done in three weeks…. that hasn't fully sunk in. I know that I will be telling people about my time at Sheridan College for years to come. As cheesy as it may be, these have been the best months - projects and all.
Massive shout out to my amazing professors and classmates and new friends :) Thank you everyone <3
