How have I changed since coming to Mount A...

I don’t think it’s that I’ve necessarily changed since coming to Mount Allison, but more so that I’ve come into my own. Mount Allison has allowed me to flourish and embrace the things that make me stand out and I feel more like myself. I’ve become a lot more intentional with how I spend my time, because you come to realize that your time is your own and you are in charge of how you spend it. Within that, I’ve been able to prioritize the things that make me happy, and not bother with the things that don’t.

Favourite Mount A memory (so far)...

probably the dance battle that takes place during orientation week! It really sets the tone for the school year and what to expect from Mount Allison. I’ve had so many positive memories at Mount A already and I can’t wait to see what’s to come!

I chose Mount A because...

The small campus allows me to feel comfortable while transitioning out of a small rural area to larger university life. Additionally, I saw that I would be able to explore my interests and learn in a variety of different areas, all while being flexible with my degree—I was able to try out a variety of different things without sacrificing anything and it helped me select the perfect degree for my passions!

My favourite thing to do in Sackville is...

Treating myself to a drink from Aida’s and walking around town in the shops and through Waterfowl on a nice day! I also love going on walks to explore— my second year and I’m still finding new corners of Sackville to love!

I'm passionate about...

Reading Books Art Music The Outdoors Politics
