  • Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a highly requested video- my university/college experience at the University of Toronto. For those of you who are new here, I got my business degree through the Rotman Commerce undergraduate program at UofT's St.George (downtown) campus. In this video I share my journey throughout the program, and also give you guys an update as to what my next steps are (and how I'm dealing with this major life change). I plan to keep this discussion going these next few weeks/months, so let me know in the comments below if you've recently graduated. I'd also love to know what last bits of student content you'd like to see this summer? :) Enjoy xo

      @@sonexocarat1059 well when I first applied to uoft I applied for the criminology program downtown but didn't receive admission there. They sent me a counter offer basically to attend Scarborough campus seeing that first-year courses for my desired program are very basic (SOCA101 etc.) so essentially I could have taken them at either campus. But now entering the second year the course becomes more specialized thus why I'm going through the process of transferring.

    Thank you for this video. My mom has been giving me a hard time because I decided that I didn't want to go back for my Master's and because I decided I'm moving out in July...and it's been really hard. I'm currently stressed about the whole job hunting while also being constantly told that I am making a mistake. So, I really needed this encouragement today. You have inspired me in so many ways. I bullet journal now, and I made it through college with help from your videos/encouragement. Thank you, Caitlin.

When it comes to schooling, you have to have the desire within you to do it (otherwise your experience will probably be shitty)...it’s okay for that not to be the path for you. And THANK-YOU for this message! It’s amazing to know these videos help you out in some way....change is really hard but I’m wishing you lots of luck with moving out and with job hunting 💕😘

Knowing that these experiences are shared with others is really comforting though. But I met some of my best friends on residence, and living in the Toronto area has been liberating because I came from a small town. So glad this video came up in my recommendations.

    I did not have anything figured out when I graduated from undergrad. I tried to apply for a graduate degree and didn't get accepted. So then I just found a job. I needed the break from school despite many people trying to push me towards a graduate degree, but I feel like if you go for a graduate degree or MBA or PHD, you really have to WANT it and I didn't. So it took me 6 years after graduating with my undergrad that I finally knew what I wanted for an MBA and found a university that had what I wanted and could do it online. I'm now 1 year into my MBA. I love my program more than my undergrad and really hoping that it will bring me to the job I desire.

    it's been more than 6 years since my convocation on June 2013 and now I am preparing applications for my MBA. A lot of things happened since. I myself had a miserable time as a student(I would call it miserable especialliy because of our school's way of maintaing its academic reputation), although I had definitely great time as a person. For sure, you never know what's gonna happen and how you are gonna end up. Finding what one really wants to do is hard. Great to share similar memories and experiences with pretty much everyone who went to U of T, writing comments here! Congrats on your convocation!

    I told myself a year off after finishing my undergrad and it was the best decision ever. I was fortunate to have a full time job while in school so I stayed with it. I applied for a new position in my field of study and that took a year to get into. Now I am planning to continue school so I can continue in my field. For everyone out there trying to figure it out my best advice is : TAKE A BREAK. let yourself fully acknowledge and accept that school is over (at least for now if that’s what your choose). College becomes your focus for so long that it can take a while to let it go.

    This is really cool to hear. I start the last year of my bachelor, next september. I know I want to do a master, I know that but I do not know what i want to do after that. I study literature so what i will be doing is a little more obscure. I am also a learner. If i could study for 5 more years for free, count me in. So this is all really helpful to hear. Thank you for sharing!

    My little advice is to maybe also do social media and brand consulting on the side, as a freelance, to work both sides of the business. Patricia Bright here on youtube has her own channel, her own brand, but also she does consulting for other youtubers and brands, and it brings in another source of income (separate from the fate of her channel) while also creating networking opportunities. It is a lot of work, but we must dream big, am i right?

    • @caitlinmariedasilva
      @caitlinmariedasilva  Před 5 lety +1

      Kate gave a lot of great tips there! For me, in first year I remember studying like crazy for my first few tests and often times I’d get a mark that didn’t reflect that hard work...it initially was hard to accept that because in high school, if I worked hard my grade almost always showed that. But in university, it’s not that simple because each prof/course has veryyy different expectations. So I realized that I couldn’t look at grades anymore as a reflection of my knowledge or work ethic because sometimes something else is at play with that grade...so I don’t take the number so personally anymore. Also, if you’re going to continue your education, grades matter to a certain extent-but most of the time, I think people put too much value on grades as a necessary requirement for success. If you only care about grades, you’ll miss out on a lot of the fun aspects about university (exploring campus, hanging out with friends, trying out hobbies, etc.). Those are the things you’ll remember, not the grades you got in school ❤️
