Ryerson Universitys Nutrition Course Union Newsletter

Welcome back everyone! I hope your summer

was warm and full of relaxation!

As your NCU President for this 2013-2014 year, I

wanted to ensure that this year will be both memo-rable and enjoyable for you. It is my hope that you

will be as excited about this years upcoming

events as I am! Weve been working hard to come

up with an action-packed agenda of events that

really resonate with Nutrition students from all

years of study. Whether this is your first degree,

or your fourth, I truly believe there is an event for

everyone this year.

At the end of the winter 2013 semester, NCU and

The School of Nutrition sent out a survey to all

Nutrition students to find out what events you

guys are interested in. WellYou asked, and we

listened! We have everything from mock inter-

views to help you prepare for internship applica-

tions to macaroon tutorials! We are also collabo-

rating with The School of Nutrition for our first

ever nutrition case competition. This exciting

event will have a panel of esteemed judges and a

CASH PRIZE for the winner!

Nervous about textbook costs this year? Dont

worry the NCU has you covered! We will be

having our Annual Used Book Sale starting Sep-

tember 3rd, so come by the NCU office and drop

off your old textbooks!

Looking forward to another great year!

We all know the deal. One too many memes and somehow youre already a week behind in read-

ings. Okay, we exaggerate. But with so many things going on in rst year new experiences, new

faces, new courses, new responsibilies its easy to feel overwhelmed even before classes start!

Dont stress here are some useful ps to help you survive your rst year at Ryerson.

Tip #1: Dark circles wont score you an A on your midtermor that date on Friday.

Staying on top of readings, course work, and assignments is one of those tried-and-true ways to

help you do well in your classes. Cramming not only lessens your chances of doing well, but it

makes you lose precious sleep, and trust me youre denitely going to need that regularly. Think

about it logically does cramming 12 weeks worth of material into a single night sound like a

recipe for success? Do yourself a favour: take care of yourself, and take care of your course work.

Tip #2: It sounds so high-schoolbut your planner is your best friend.

Seriously! Use a planner or calendar to keep track of important dates, deadlines, and appoint-

ments. Were all human, and more than likely, you will forget when your next chem lab is, or

where your next class is located. Stay organized with a planner or calendar. Bonus? You can pick

one up during Orientaon Week in the Ryerson Student Centre, located at 55 Gould Street.

Tip #3: They look all big and scary at the front of the classbut your professors wont eat you.

If you need help understanding a topic or feel generally clueless in class, ask a queson! If youre

wondering, theres a really good chance others are wondering too. Be bold! You could also book

an appointment to see them during oce hours (which are dierent for each professor), or just

drop in. Its totally acceptable with a lot of professors. The more you get to know them, the more

youll realize that yeah, they want to get to know you, and no, they arent out to get you.

Tip # 4: Dont sacrice that third Ssocial life.

The School of Nutrion, and Ryerson University in general, is full of opportunies to get involved

theres student clubs, organizaons, athlec teams, social events put on by your Nutrion

Course Union, karaoke at Ram on the Ryethe list goes on FOREVER. And with these oppor-

tunies comes the chance to meet some great people and make some lasng memories. So

put yourself out there!

Tip #5: Know your priories.

This will be dierent for everyone. No one has the same set of responsibilies. Get the most

out of your rst year by knowing what maers to you, and how much aenon you shouldpay to each responsibility you have.

Always remember the big picture...!

Youre starng a new phase in your life! University will be fun, scary, surprising, stressful, and

everything in-between. The important thing is to keep an open mind, stay posive, keep on

top of your priories, and take me to do the things that keep you happy. Thats really all there is

to it!

Tasty & Affordable Food Around Campus

V O L U M E 5 , I S S U E 1

Having the privilege of being located in the heart of downtown To-

ronto may serve as a challenge for some when looking for places to

eat! After all, we have the best around us! However, as students,

we want food that tastes good at an affordable price. Our team has put together some

places that may help you the next time youre searching for a place to eat!

1. Brown Bag Sandwiches : 377 Church St Toronto

If you enjoy premium sandwiches but do not enjoy paying for

the expensive prices (most under $7.50), then Brown Bag sandwiches

would be perfect for you! They have tons of options from pulled pork

sandwiches with a side of coleslaw to tomato and baby spinach

sandwiches. A side of sweet potato French fries with chipotle

mayo will complete your meal. Food is great, close to school and

the staff is so friendly.

2. Salad King 340 Yonge St.

Come in a student, feast like a king! At Sal-

ad King the vibe is very laid back and

friendly. Service is quick, and its conven-

ient location right next to campus makes it a

perfect little place to swing by for a bite to

eat between classes. The food is tasty and

portions are large, but best of all most dishes are

under $10 making it a great choice for a hungry

student!

3.

Want to make the best of being a

Ryerson student? Check out the AMC

food court, where almost every restau-

rant has a student discount for those

with Ryerson I.D! Try out some

CaribbeanQueen or satisfy your taste

buds with some Thai delight! You're

friends will be in awe when you showthem, since a lot of students are una-

ware of these amazing deals. We even

get a discount at Spring Sushi!

4. Ali Baba: 2202 Dundas St W

When I'm looking for quick grab and go lunch I'll pit stop

in at Ali Baba's on the corner of Dundas & Ronces. On

Tuesdays they have a two for one falafel sandwich for

$3.99 which is a total bargain. This place is awe-some. Their food is very fresh and delicious. for

$5.99 you can order a falafel or shwarma dinner

plate that includes your choice of lentil rice, salad,

hummus, pita, pickled turnip, etc. It is a huge

amount of food for the price. If you love middle

eastern food, this the place to go!

5. Lou Dawgs : 76 Gerrard St E

If you want great service, great food and great

value, head to Lou Dawgs.

Had been to the King street location before and

loved it. When they opened next to Ryerson's

campus, I knew I had a new lunch haunt.Their

prices are moderate and affordable !
