Someone I know lives across the SSMU Peel building, and my office window faces her appartment. I was working one evening and I get a chat: “Pls tell me u aren’t still in office and ur light is just on by accident”. It was 9:02 pm and I was, in fact, still in the office. 

But I was exactly where I wanted to be, doing genuinely fulfilling work that I am grateful to do everyday. 

I love working for SSMU, even though sometimes– no matter how hard I try and how many hours I dedicate– some SSMU students don’t like it back.

In a meeting I was in today, the person dropped the absolute bar “being the undergraduate society of a university like McGill, you’re going to have bright minds competing”. And what a privilege it is to engage with community so deeply & be learning around the clock, inside and outside the classroom.

Too bad it dosen’t count as a line in my CV 🤭
