EDible NEWS: Soyinka Reid

It can't all be about books and exams. The most memorable piece of advice I ever received about university is simple yet sage. It was to, "find a club you love and commit to it".

 This honest recommendation has only grown in relevance for me. It means more than the cliché high school advice such as thinly veiled attempts to pad résumés, fulfilling volunteering requirements, or checking something of a bucket list.Ive learned the value of committing to an extracurricular activity that means something.

 I've found that in FESA.

 The Education Faculty's Students' Association is one of the best opportunities of my life. It's the perfect demonstration of genuine community, camaraderie, and connection we need to keep life interesting. I'm reminded of that every time I participate in enjoyable discussions with other council members or when organizing and participate in FESA events.

 We're connected by our love of learning and united by the laughter we gleam from the little moments. Through this, we escape the everyday stresses of post secondary education and crazy lives.

 Everyday becomes an experiential learning opportunity.

 Seek out and find your perfect extracurricular with instant connections to the people and initiatives. Just maybe, there'll be a position for you on FESA next year.

 My advice: "Find a club you love and commit to it".
