    Take in the Sunshine: Starting the Year Right as a New International Student

    October 9, 2024 / No Comments

    Written by Guadalupe Vial Ulloa Lethbridge Survival Tip: Take in the Sunshine During the Fall Term. In late August 2021, I arrived in Lethbridge for the first time, having travelled all the way from Chile. Three years ago, it was warm and sunny with a fresh breeze and green grass as far as the eye could see. If you look at the University’s page “About Lethbridge, Alberta,” three words come to mind when you think of the city: Sunshine, Coulees, and Wind. When I read that, and with my first impression of the city, I was sure the infamous Canadian winter would not be as awful for me as everyone had…

    The Half Pause: A Surface-Level Examination of ULeth Summer Classes 

    August 2, 2024 / No Comments

    Written by Alex Gallaway  What’s the deal with summer classes? Are they worth putting in the extra time (and money) over what’s supposed to be an academic “break” for most students? How much do they really contribute to your degree? Taking summer classes can feel like a stalled pause in your academics. You’re usually not fully engrossed in classes, but you don’t seem to have much free time either. There are a number of factors to take into account if you are considering the possibility of summer classes.  There are a variety of ways to take online classes, and there are typically a greater number of asynchronous or online offerings,…

    Supercool Ultrafun Summertime Reading List from Hell! … not really

    April 11, 2023 / No Comments

    Supercool Ultrafun Summertime Reading List from Hell! … not really Written by Shawn Funk You are doing great if you can read one book a month during your summer break! If you can read two a month, even better. But please, don’t be inspired by the nitwit from Microsoft, who tells everyone he reads 100 books a year; this is impractical. Reading is as much about thinking and imagining as it is about reading the words on the page. Don’t get caught up in quantity. Don’t read a book just to get to the end. Enjoy it as it unfolds in your mind. Passively skimming a book won’t activate your…
