Pursuit of Happiness - UOIT Vlog #2

This vlog is near and dear to my heart. Whoever said you can't have a quarter life crisis, probably didn't have to wrangle a university education. I read something interesting the other day and wanted to share it with you guys. Here's my take on happiness and making those big, important choices.

I'm glad I watched this video. I'm in second year and haven't been quite sure on what I'm doing. If I should stay or if I should start over with another program. I felt like it was "do or die." But you're right, we got time. *thumbs up* So now I'll breathe easier. Thanks.

@MIdnightAdventure I actually went through pretty much the same thing at the tail end of my second year. What helped me decide is figuring out if I like what I'm doing. Do you like your program? Also, sometimes courses (especially in first/second year) aren't a very good representation of what the program truly is. It helps to talk to seniors so they can give a better perspective on what's ahead for you.

I'm glad this helped if even in a small way. That makes me feel awesome! - Olga

@JanelleMacDougall That's a really lovely compliment. I'm so excited that you noticed/it shows. I very much want these to actually mean something when I look back on them. - Olga
