Today I am focussing on Alexandra Sarro’s Blog Post 1 to reflect upon!

Your post gives a nice glimpse into your personal journey and how you’ve adjusted to life in Victoria, including the shift in your academic path. I can relate to the emotional challenge of being far from family, and it’s clear that the relationships you’ve built in Victoria have been an important part of your growth.

Your experience with technology, like with programs like Excel, is something many students struggle with. It’s great that you’ve been able to work through these challenges by tapping into resources like your peers and UVic workshops.

I also like how you’ve pointed out the positive side of social media, especially apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. It’s easy to overlook their potential for learning, but you’ve shown how they can be helpful for organizing your studies, discovering new tools, and getting useful tips. Your post shows exactly how technology, when used intentionally, can be such a useful tool for learning and staying organized.
