As a follow up to last year’s post, 5 Things I Learned in My First Year of University, I am sharing 5 things that I have learned this year at school.

WORTH IT? | FabFitFun Summer Box 2018 Unboxing

[Related post: WORTH IT? | FabFitFun Editor’s Box 2018 Unboxing]

If you read my first post about FabFitFun, you will know that after receiving the Editor’s Box, I decided to cancel my subscription. This was because the spoilers for the Spring Box did not appeal to me at all.

But when I saw the first spoiler for the Summer Box, I knew I had to get it. The company FOREO decided to launch their newest product, Luna fofo, exclusively in the FabFitFun Summer Box. I have been wanting to try a cleansing brush product for a while now, so this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

The box itself was very bright and colourful, perfect for its summertime theme. Keep reading to find out what items came in the FabFitFun Summer 2018 box!

5 Reasons to Complete an Internship in University

GAINING NECESSARY EXPERIENCE

Let’s face it: simply having a degree doesn’t guarantee you a job anymore. Employers are increasingly looking for people who have the degree, as well as experience in the field. Completing an internship or job during your university years will give you the best chance of being hired once you’re finished. If you apply for internships through a school program, that means the companies are looking to hire students, so they will understand that you might not have experience any previous experience.

IT MAY MAKE YOUR DEGREE LOOK BETTER

At my school, we have what’s called the Science Internship Program. If you complete at least 8 months of internship placement, and complete necessary modules, you receive a special notice on your degree which indicates your participation in the program. This is a nice bonus that distinguishes you from someone else with the same degree.

LEARNING MORE ABOUT YOURSELF

Deciding how you want to spend the rest of your life is difficult. You can make it easier on yourself by learning what you do and do not enjoy doing. An internship is the perfect way to discover if you actually enjoy working in your field. If you don’t, well, maybe it’s time to switch majors. 

A SOURCE OF INCOME

We all know the “broke uni student” stereotype, living off ramen noodles, and saving all the pennies hidden underneath the couch cushions. While a job during the school year may not be best for you, having a summer internship will help you fill your bank account for the next school year. 

GETTING YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR

Working as a student in your related field could have its perks; who knows, the company might offer you a job once you’ve completed your degree! 

 

If you are wondering what prompted me to write this post, I am excited to announce that I am currently participating in a summer internship of my own! In November I applied for a position under Canada’s Federal Student Work Experience Program, which I received and started in May! This job (including the training phases) has challenged me physically, mentally and emotionally, but I am so happy to have stuck with it and pushed through the difficult parts. I am so excited to see where this position takes me in the future.

Will you be participating in an internship this summer? Let me know in the comments!

SEPHORA SEMI-ANNUAL SALE HAUL | Too Faced, Laura Mercier & MORE

If you are a makeup addict, you probably know that Sephora hardly ever has a sale that covers the entire store’s inventory. That being said, there are two sales a year, where Beauty Insiders receive 10% OFF orders, and VIB/Rouge members receive 15% OFF. This sale usually runs for 2 weeks, and takes the form of a discount code (meaning you can’t use any other promotional codes for the order).

I had my eye on a few products at Sephora, so I knew I would be taking advantage of this sale.

Since I have started going to the gym three times a week, I have experienced my fair share of sore muscles. I am usually fine on the day I go to the gym, but 1-2 days later I really feel it.
