Leah Sharpe waxes poetic about the Good Food Box
by Leah Sharpe
Well, it’s that time of year again. Papers, projects, pesky midterms, which should more adequately be described as pretty-damn-near-end-term exams. Each year you swear you won’t put of those major papers and projects until the end of the semester and each year you curse yourself and your procrastinating ways. But don’t worry, there is always next semester.
As for the rest of this semester, don’t forget that URSU is here to help. We offer a bunch of services that may be just the trick to help you make it through the end of the semester and to move smoothly into everyone’s favourite time of year: final exams!
Are you trying to save a little dough for some presents for the folks or that lucky lady in your life? No need to cut down on your consumption of fresh fruits and veggies. The Good Food Box can help you save some money and maintain a healthy balance of vitamins and minerals. Yahoo! The Good Food Box is a community program that aims to give participants a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables at discounted prices. Good Food Box orders are delivered to the Students’ Union every two weeks. To participate just come to the URSU Front Desk and purchase one of the Good Food Box options. More info can be found at http://ursu.uregina.ca.
For all those last minute projects and papers don’t forget to check out the URSU computer lab or the URSU photocopiers, with the cheapest copies on campus. Both are located on the second floor of the Riddell.
And to help you study for all your final exams and even some of those late-blooming mid-terms don’t forget about the URSU exam registry. The URSU exam registry has a variety of past exams sorted by class that can help you focus your studying and is available online at: http://ursu.uregina.ca/online/exams/
This time of year can be extremely stressful and at times it may seem to be unmanageable. For students who may be having financial or academic trouble URSU has its own guardian angel to help you through those tough times. Karene Hawkins, the URSU Student Advocate, can help you with all sorts of problems you may be having. For more information or to make a confidential appointment with Karene, stop by the Students’ Union or call (306) 586-8811, extension 204.
Finally, the Lazy Owl is here to help! Whether you need a much-deserved study-break, a celebratory drink or an “Oh well I’ll get ‘em next time” pitcher, the Owl is there when you need it!
Leah Sharpe is the vice president of student affairs of the University of Regina Students’ Union.
