First-year engineering student Liyi is back for an

First-year engineering student Liyi is back for another semester of academic success blogging! Since September, Liyi has experienced all the ups and downs of academic life, learning to adjust her goals when things don't quite go to plan, finding ways to make friends and build a community online, and trying out new approaches to managing her time.

Check out Liyi's first blog of the semester, in which she discusses one of her big achievements last semester: finding great software and apps to support her organizational and notetaking skills. Liyi recommends trying @notionhq and @goodnotesapp.

You can read Liyi's full blog on our website.

We're always looking for new study tools. Do you have favourite notetaking or time management apps? Let us know in the comments below!

Introducing a new addition to our blogging team: m

Introducing a new addition to our blogging team: meet Rahul!

Hey! I’m Rahul (Rah-huhl; he/him), I come from a small town by the name of Campbellford, and I am a 4th year Psychology major. In my spare time, I watch anime, read manga, and like to make charcuterie boards!

In the past, I have struggled with recognizing my own accomplishments; I have a tendency to keep going without reflecting on these accomplishments. Rather, I dwell on the what-ifs and the mistakes I have made. As I finish up my undergrad, I strive to recognize my accomplishments from my first year up until now. I want to learn to combat those negative habits of mind I’ve trapped myself in.

This semester, while I unfortunately won’t have the opportunity to ring the thesis gong at the Print and Copy Centre, I am nonetheless excited to conduct and write my thesis in psychology. I have been working on my thesis since September and plan to see it through until April, so I'm looking forward to updating you about my progress!

To my fellow fourth year Psychology students—you might be doing a thesis, a seminar or two, or are a PSYC 100 facilitator like me—but we are almost there. We have a community, and we need to make the most of it. Reach out to your classmates. We are near the finish line and we will cross it together 🙂

Check back soon to hear what our regular bloggers have been up to the last few weeks, what they’re planning this semester, and to read more from Rahul!
