Take time to appreciate what really matters

Between my four jobs, team projects, exams, events, and classes, my McGill journey was a busy one! I was known for always running around campus with a crazy agenda.  

What helped me get through it all was having the support of my family, the amazing women featured in my pictures, and every other person who helped me throughout this journey! McGill tested my limits, helped me discover my passion for organizational behaviour, taught me many things, and introduced me to so many amazing people.  

The advice I would give my first-year self is to prioritize your mental health, make time to socialize, rest and indulge in self-care – it makes all the difference! You can accomplish so many things, but you also have to care for yourself and take time to appreciate what really matters.
