 Good morning everyone and my travels this week have taken me to the west of Ireland and I'm back here at my alma mater Here at NUI Galway, and I have to say I've just spent the morning taking a walk around here and reminiscing about such great times That I had and but in particular as I walk around there are just such amazing opportunities to engage in campus life So for example, I'm just gonna give you a bit of a tour just behind me there In in the main building a smoky's cafe and I spent so much time drinking coffee debating matters of the world and of other lesser importance over there and Building memories. I have to say with my friends over the years We had used to have our most of our lectures most of our economics and maths lectures there Is in that building there behind me? Do you know what else actually is that when I joined here? And the first thing I did or one of them was that I joined the business society in college and those of you Who've been with me on savvy teens? You know that that really changed my life Is it really inspired at the path directly to entrepreneurship? I ended up meeting my first employer and as you all know, yes, I also met my my husband there and So now granted it took a bit of while in between business society and when I married him But anyway, and that story is for another day, but yeah, that was there obviously as well There's the there's a library there behind me. I see it's now double the size and I actually went in there to have a look I had asked them to leave me in the door and say they kind of thought that was a bit strange But anyway, and so yeah a lot of time spent in there you'd be surprised Obviously, you know, there's great education, etc from studying in a library But great solidarity between us all when I came to big assignments or projects or of course coming up to exam time at Christmas or at summer as well as I move around there and That is a new chemist. That's a totally new development. I have to say since since I was here now They've lived in the place. Geez. There was none of that when I was around and over there. That's arts millennium God, that was only a new sparkling new building when I started here. I started in Eniwai Galway I did financial maths and economics in in 2004 and Back there then behind you You can see out as far as road There's actually a whole new building devoted to economics that was only starting But one thing I will say is that if you want to come with me here a little bit is that back there Is the aris no motley and that's the students building and so many exams Oh, geez I had so many exams back there and Fantastic facilities including the gym. I only ever joined a gym when I came to college Great place for for clearing your head and so on and of course what you can see that's right behind me there As well, of course, is the city of Galway such a fantastic spot such a fantastic spot That that is a great really really great place to go to college What I'm noticing as I was walking through the through the corridors there is that there's so much more now and Visible in terms of careers so much more There's an academic writing workshop that I noticed that they're giving free and free coaching on that in the library there a while ago There's a lot of career fairs that are going on probably a lot of that was going on when I was here But I wasn't as as cognizant of it as I am now So I just wanted to say that there is so much campus life to be part of whether it's societies or whether it's in the Library or whether it's just having those chats over coffee and in college or whether it is just completely engaging with your lectures There's there's so much wisdom and that they have to share about jobs whether it is about engaging with the alumni Whether it is appreciating the city and and also back there actually I popped into the church There's a journaling station at the back of the church there as well Where whenever I was worried I was go there and sit and write and you know what that still works to this very day So as I say live from any way go all the way Susan Hayes Colton from savvy teens have a Wonderful week and to those of you that just started college Just to make so much make so many memories and make such a good time because it's short everyone tells you that but you know What the memories they last a lifetime. Bye
