By Amanda Pereira

stay stress free this semester anything like me, you’re a bit I fofyou’re a self-professed ‘stress bunny’. From something as preventable as being late to an event to meeting deadlines – if there’s an opportunity to stress about something, my mind is going to find it. My formative schooling years were no different; from getting to class on time, not missing the bus, or more preventable situations like doing an assignment on time; my stress levels often left me walking on eggshells.

Of course, as anyone who habitually stresses out will attest to – we don’t intend to succumb to these feelings, it’s just something that is, unfortunately, innate to us. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to learn the hard way about the importance of managing my stress levels and keeping my cool in situations that neither warrant a stressful response, or situations that are high tension that can easily be made worse by ‘freaking out’ over it.

Here are some tips on how you can stay stress free this semester:

KEEP YOUR COOL

If something isn’t going quite the way you planned, pause, and collect yourself.

Is this worth having a meltdown over?

Will this matter in an hour? A day, a

week, a year? If this is a temporary inconvenience or situation, focus on getting over the hump and overcoming adversity.

STAY ORGANIZED I cannot tell you the number of stressful situations I could have avoided if I had just organized my time better. You may cringe at the prospect of having to keep an agenda, but with tools like the iPhone, there’s no excuse for not staying on top of deadlines and engagements. This may seem like a hassle, but trust me; future you will be in your debt.

TAKE “ME TIME” When you’re stressed out, it’s important to make time for leisure and to take a mental break. Some apartments featured in Rentals 4Students are equipped with great amenities that keep you stress-free such as fitness facilities, media rooms, and laundry rooms (because let’s face it, not having clean clothing is definitely something you’ve stressed over before.)

Keeping calm, being prepared, and showing a willingness to give yourself a break are important factors in having a successful school year that doesn’t end on a sour note. We hope these tips serve you well this semester – good luck!. ●

Tips for getting back into a

fall routine

or not you have kids who go W hether back to school or back to campus,

getting back to a schedule is tough for everyone. Here are some tips to help you get settled into a routine:

ONE-STOP SHOP

It can be overwhelming if you’re making several different trips to stores for your groceries, clothing and household items like new Tupperware, water bottles, thermoses and more. Visit a store where you can buy fresh produce, meat, home essentials, fashionable clothing and more, in a one stop-shop without breaking the bank.

MAKE A LIST

Although this might sound like another time-consuming task, it saves time in the long-run. A quick to-do list will help

10

avoid last-minute dashes and can help you better manage your routes and budget so you can group together errands that are close in proximity and prevent splurges.

MEAL-PREP SUNDAY

Carve out some time on Sunday afternoon to meal prep for the week. Whether it’s getting ahead of school and work lunches or evening dinners, it will help you save hours during the week.

MAKE A FAMILY CALENDAR

With so many hectic schedules and after-school activities, it’s important to have one family calendar with everyone’s commitments in one spot. This will help ensure no hockey practice or tutoring lesson is missed. ●

budget tips

How to cut down your

commuting costs

we’re headed to work, school W hether or other commitments, sky-high gas

prices and inflation mean many of us are facing regular trips that are more expensive than ever.

While there’s not much you can do about prices these days, there are a few steps you can take to save on your commute. Here are some ideas:

PLAN YOUR TRIPS

If you know you’re heading out, you can plan errands around your outings and stop at destinations like the grocery store, bank or pet store, on your way home. Running your errands on days when you’ll already be out driving can save you time in your schedule and may even save you money at the gas pump.

14

TRY OUT ALTERNATIVE TRANSIT OR CARPOOLING

In good weather, you may try riding a bike to school to avoid filling up at the pump and enjoy the health benefits at the same time. But in the later fall and winter months when that may not be an option, try carpooling with classmates – this can help you save on gas, and give you some great company to enjoy the ride with.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF APPS

As long as you use them hands free, mapping or GPS apps can help you find the most efficient – and therefore cheapest – route. You can also try telematics – a usage-based program that follows your driving habits over time and tailors your insurance premiums accordingly.

What to know before getting your

first credit card

post-secondary A reschoolyouandstarting considering getting your

first credit card? It can be exciting to get a credit card for the first time. It provides the opportunity to build credit – something that most adults need. But it’s important for new credit card holders to know what they’re getting into and how to use their card wisely. Here are some things to remember:

If you can’t pay the full amount, it’s a warning sign that you may be spending more than you can afford.

UNDERSTAND INTEREST

If you can’t pay the full amount, it’s a warning sign that you may be spending more than you can afford. Avoid paying interest by paying off the entire balance of a credit card every month. Interest charges can add up quickly, build up debt and hurt your credit score. Bad credit can follow you for years to come.

16

Designed to help new cardholders understand exactly how interest works, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has a credit card payment calculator that lets people see how long it would take to pay off a credit card if they don’t pay the full amount each month.

BUILD CREDIT IN A SECURE WAY

If you’re uncertain about getting a traditional credit card, consider starting with a secured credit card. To get one, you must provide your bank with a security deposit to cover the credit limit. If you don’t make your payments, the bank may use your deposit to pay the money you owe.

These types of cards can help you build a good credit history without the risk of defaulting.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

Banks must follow certain rules about your credit card agreement. For example, they must clearly set out the key features of the credit card in an information box that appears on your monthly

Fall/Winter 2023

*Prices subject to change without notice

build healthy credit

statement. This includes details such as the interest rates and other charges such as annual fees.

Your bank may make changes to the features or the terms and conditions of your credit card. If they do, they must provide you with the details in writing at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

eco ideas

reduce and upcook

Three tips for an eco-friendlier

lunch box

means back to packB ack-to-school ing lunches. As more and more

post-secondary institutions are encouraging “litterless” lunches, it can be hard to come up with ways to make your lunch more sustainable and waste free. Here are three tips to make it easier:

PORTION TO REDUCE PACKAGING

Buy food you’ll use in your lunch, like yogurt or applesauce, in larger quantities.

Purchase a big tub that you can portion into reusable containers, rather than individually packaged cups, to avoid wasteful packaging.

Put re-useable or wooden cutlery and a cloth napkin into your lunch box to reduce what’s thrown away.

CONSIDER WHERE YOUR FOOD IS COMING FROM

Grow your own salad, herbs or vegetables where possible. This saves on packaging and transportation-related emissions, which helps reduce your carbon footprint.

When shopping, look for products from companies that are prioritizing eco-friendly initiatives. You can often identify them by the packaging.

MEAL PLAN, “UPCOOK”, AND MAKE YOUR OWN SNACKS

Instead of buying individually wrapped snacks at the grocery store, try healthier, more environmentally conscious options.

You could also turn this into a Sunday activity by batch-making homemade granola bars. Not only can this be a fun activity and break from studying, but you’ll save countless wrappers from going to a landfill.

Meal planning helps to reduce food waste. Are you likely to have leftovers that can be “upcooked” and added to your lunch? Leftover chicken from last night’s dinner can be used on a sandwich, or leftover bacon from breakfast can be a tasty salad topping. ● – News Canada
