    Making the Most of February

    February is traditionally the month of Valentine’s Day – filled with chocolates, cards and candy. It’s also the month of Family Day (or whatever incarnation your province has). Take advantage of this day off to spend time with your family and friends, relaxing and celebrating before you start to buckle down and prepare for exams and final papers.

    Indeed, no matter if you’re in junior high, high school or college, at some point in the next few months you will be studying for exams and trying to keep up with your homework. This month, we have study tips and tricks to help you through this challenging period. We’ve also found some great online resources to help you with studying English that will come in handy (especially if you’re behind on your readings).

    Our Community Living page is in full swing, boasting information on the transition from high school to university and scholarships and bursaries that are just for students with learning disabilities. As always, we’ve rounded up even more scholarships for students on our Scholarship page. Don’t forget to take the time out to apply for a few of these – the extra money to pay for your education will REALLY come in handy!

    Have a happy February!

  • Love Is In the Air

    Love Is In the Air

    February is here and that usually means one thing – love is in the air! Valentine’s Day is something many of us have been celebrating since we were young, handing out Valentine’s cards to our classmates for fun. Love in high school and junior high can be confusing and exhilarating, causing many of us to experience our first heartbreak. Remember that Valentine’s Day is just supposed to be fun – don’t take it too seriously. You don’t even have to celebrate it at all!

    Besides being the month of love, February is also the month of the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The Olympics encourage us all to come together and celebrate the beauty of sport and to cheer for our respective countries. With Russian politics and policies dominating many of the headlines surrounding these Olympics, it will be a very interesting to watch the games unfold. Will you be watching or will you boycott the Olympics to protest Russia’s laws? Let us know – we want to hear your opinions!
