4 Reusable Items to Swap In to Save Money In University
When I was leaving for university I knew that I was going to have a lot more expenses than what I was used to.

Halloween is Scary but Midterms are Scarier
In other words, Halloween is my favourite holiday but midterms made me cry. So it’s been a while since I posted, I had orignally planned on sharing another post once I submitted my applications but that didn’t happen so I thought instead I would talk about this past October AKA the most stressful month I’ve had in four years of university. October 1 – 6 October first Med school applications were due for Canadian schools. Now when I started my applications in the summer I had planned on finished before September so that when the deadline came alll I had to do would be review and submit, I KNEW that…
