Hope Matters: Lessons from the bookshelf

Hope Matters: Lessons from the bookshelf

by Xaviere Schneider | Apr 22, 2021 | Alumni Bloggers, Written by Xaviere

Being tasked to write a blog post about mental health when my own mental health is less-than-stellar feels semi-ironic. It seems disingenuous to post about simple tips and tricks for decreasing stress levels during midterm season if I don’t believe in what I’m...
Running Away (From) My Worries

Running Away (From) My Worries

by Xaviere Schneider | Jan 20, 2020 | Alumni Bloggers, Written by Xaviere

     Finding the motivation to lace up my runners and drag myself out of the house to go run in the middle of winter with the Triathlon Club at UVic can be difficult. Especially in January, when the sun sets long before we even begin the warm-up. And yet, I keep...
