My favourite place to staycation would probably be Brigus. It’ s not too far from St. John ’ s, and it’ s so peaceful and relaxing. Another great staycation place in Eastport. A few of my friends and I booked an Airbnb in Eastport earlier this summer, and it was so beautiful; I would love to go back! Why did you choose Mun business

When I graduated high school, I was very indecisive about what I wanted to pursue (still am), but I knew I wanted to attend MUN. I’ ve always wanted to open my own business someday, and I felt like the business program at MUN would give me a great starting point! What is important to you as a soon to be graduate?

It’ s really important to me as a soon to be graduate that I enjoy this time in my life. I’ m at the age where I find there is a lot of pressure to figure out what my plans for the future are and it can be overwhelming. Living in the moment and enjoying student life while it lasts is important to me!

Any advice you can share on school, work, friends, family life balance?

Finding a school, work, friends, and family life balance is very tough, but it’ s so necessary for me to avoid burnout, and the only way I feel like I have that balance is through the organization. So my one piece of advice would be to get a desktop calendar or planner and use it for anything and everything. Writing out your school schedule and things you need to complete for the week, your work schedule, any plans you ’ ve made with friends and family, any important dates, etc., is helpful. I find it so much easier to see everything written before me, and it helps me prepare for my week. I also think that to achieve that balance; you need to know when to slow down because you always need to make time for yourself amongst school, work, friends, and family. Who are some of your favorite local makers?

Well of course my favorite local maker is Indigena! All of the products are amazing and they truly embrace the essence of Newfoundland. My favorite products are definitely the Vitamin C body polish and the Mystical perfume. The body polish leaves my arms and legs feeling SO soft and it smells so good.

Clay Works and Tidal Stone Jewelry are two local handmade jewelry businesses that have adorable products that I love as well. I’ m also gonna mention one of my favorite local restaurants because I’ m such a foodie. The Madrock Cafe in Bay Roberts is one of my favorite places to get breakfast and the little restaurant is so sweet. If you go there you need to try their toutons, they are to die for!
