March Break!

Hello everyone! My name is Jason and I am a fourth year student currently completing a double major of Biology and Psychology. I hope to graduate this year (fingers crossed everybody) and after that, I have decided I’m going to try to grow up and get a real job. But I don’t really want to grow up that much, so currently I am applying for jobs within student life positions at universities and colleges. When I’m not studying hard or pretending to read my books I like to spend my time watching The Simpsons or playing guitar. I also sometimes try to play sports (I even was on the UTM Quidditch team for a brief period of time!).


But that’s enough about me. What I’d really like to talk about is our upcoming March Break events. What we're doing this year is something a little different, but still really cool. Instead of one big open house, we've decided to split the week into different subject areas. What this allows us to do is give you some more specific course information as well as a tour of our great university. If you’d like to learn more about this week, or sign up for a day (do it, please), I encourage you to visit this website http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/march-break. One question you may have is, “what if my section is full, did I miss out?” And my answer to that is, “No (name), I still encourage you to sign up for another time, even if it isn't in your program area”!


So with that being said, I hope you come to see our lovely campus! To be honest when I was first applying for universities I had no idea where I wanted to go, and my preference for the University of Toronto Mississauga didn't come until seeing the university for myself and realizing that it just felt right (also we have all single rooms on residence and I loved that). It sounds really cheesy and unscientific but trust me it’s the place to be (or don’t I’ll never know, but hopefully the former).

That’s all from me though! And if you are to visit and see a person with a name tag that says “Jason” please come and say "Hi!" Or give me a job, that’s cool too.

See you soon,

Jason
