The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Good News: I’m In!

I just wanted to share some amazing news I received with you guys- I’m in! I got into my first choice college in Canada for a bachelors degree in History. I have never been more simultaneously excited and terrified in my entire life! I am really proud of myself for getting in. It was my first choice since the area its in is amazing and offers a lot of things I am interested in. I worked really hard for my grades in high school. I sacrificed a lot so I could put in the work that would get me good grades. Thanks for all the good luck you guys sent my way when I applied and I am so happy to say I’m in!

And if you’re reading this and you’re Canadian or have been to Canada please let me know some facts about it and places to visit there in the comments below! And let me know what Canadian foods you love. As well as fun things to do in Canada!

    Congrats I live in USA but have been in Canada (as a little girl though) But I live on the border with Canada. If you ever have time, or want to take a field trip, try checking out the Peace Gardens, which are super pretty!

    You’ll have to learn how to speak Canadian. First word everyone learns is – Eh. Usually added to the end of every sentence in conversation. Has multiple meanings: from isn’t it? to don’t you agree? Anyway Congratulations. What city you will be in will determine to a large extent your places to visit options. Eh?

      Yeah I am Indian but I was born and raised in Kenya so I live in Kenya so I did it through a Kenyan agent. However, I’m sure that if you email the university you are interested in they will help you find a reliable agent in your area that you could do it through. And if you’re interested in going to Canada I can give you the contact of the lady from the university I am going to (Brock) who helped me out. I’m sure she’ll be able to help you out too.

    That’s FANTASTIC Pooja. I live in South Africa and have never been to Canada. I do know that it’s one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Embrace this opportunity with your whole being and enjoy it. I won a scholarship to Coumbia University in New York to study Journalism when I was 17 but let my fear of change get the better of me and never went. I have regretted not going, bitterly ever since. Wishing you everything of the best this is the start of a new and very exciting part of your life.

        I am near Kingston Ontario where Queens University is located. I am guessing you are planning to go to Brock University? St Catherines is a small city (about 10000 more people than Kingston) When I first went to university I opted for Kingston partly because it wasn’t big.

            I wish I knew something to tell you about Brock but I don’t. In a way maybe that’s fortunate because hopefully you and your family are or will be carefully researching the school and any promises that you are relying on. Exciting times for you 🙂

    Congratulations!! I’ve been to Canada, mostly to go fishing, occasionally to smuggle small objects back and forth. You’ll enjoy it quite a bit; it’s quite a bit like the USA, only cleaner. And the people are nicer. It does tend to be a bit cold though, hopefully you don’t mind that?
