Topic 1. Never have I ever: Online school edition
It’s been over a year since school went online! I’m sure we’ve all experienced tons of first’s this past year: First time doing exams online; first time taking classes in bed or in the shower (cough, who else is guilty); first time doing virtual summer camps and exchange programs. Share with us something new you never thought would be a part of your school life, but end up being so because of online school! The more bizarre the better!
Topic 2. It’s not what you thought: This is why I am majoring in Forestry
“Forestry, what is that? Logging? Chopping down trees? Living in the woods and being one with nature? Seems like a useless degree”. Oh boomers. Let’s admit it – we all have that one auntie or uncle who entirely misunderstood what Forestry in a university setting really entails. Tired of explaining to them and justifying your education over and over again during family gatherings? Great! Now is your chance to settle your record straight, once and for all! Tell us why you decided to major in Forestry: Why it matters to you, Why it matters to society, How you can contribute to society using your Forestry degree. Feel free to share with us your particular field of interest and current projects you’ve been working on as well!
