NAIT staff came together to put on an organized and welcoming event for new students so they could put their best foot forward when class began on Tuesday. You could not help but feel the excitement and nerves of new students roaming through all of the areas that NAIT has to offer.

Clubs, too Clubs came forward as well to promote themselves and to cater to each new student in different ways. There were hundreds of Nuggets handed out by the staff here at the NAIT Nugget and there was also free food and coffee! It was enlightening to talk to bright new faces, with inspired and motivated minds getting ready for the whirlwind that is post-secondary education. A student who is planning to learn something new has made the most important and quite possibly the hardest step in creating a better quality of life. The butterfly was not born as a butterfly, after all. Speaking with all kinds of people who come from dif- ferent backgrounds, ways of life and landscapes, I got a feel for the new batch of students who are ready to take life by the horns via NAIT. Not knowing what to expect I was overwhelmed by it all, but in a good way. I saw “mil- lennials” and to my surprise a few new students who were, if I had to guess, in their 40s and 50s. This was eye-open- ing to me and quite moving to see. Whether they are con- tinuing their previous education in a new facility or begin- ning anew, it is encouraging to know that there are people who are making positive changes much later in life. They say “it’s never too late” but that is more often than not disregarded.

Benefits Continuing education at an older age may not be the norm but it does have several benefits. To name a few and only scratch the surface, here are some positives to being a mature student: You’ve been there, done that. Your education is yours for the taking. With a completely focused mind, there is no such thing as “distraction” in your vocabulary. You have a head-start. Your life experiences have given you wisdom that a 20-year-old just simply doesn’t have. You know exactly what you want and you’re going to get it! No one is motivating you but yourself. That in itself is huge.

One thing I noticed is that they treated MC REN and shaped their future. This movie is worth every dollar and minute spent in the theatre, so get comfortable. With a run time of two hours and 30 minutes, it is on the longer side but trust me when I say that they have a lot to cover (approxi- mately six years). It has everything you could ask for in a movie: love, violence, friendship, betrayal, wealth and lots of nudity. But what can you expect from a flick about young and handsome gangsters moving from rags to riches? Grab a bag of popcorn and hit the restroom beforehand so you don’t miss a single moment. This could be a movie you will re-watch many times. I’ve seen it twice and feel the need to see it again. The music speaks for itself. If you are a fan of old school hip-hop and rap, your head will be bobbing through- out the movie. The selection of the beats and rhythms were nostalgic, although I did feel like they should have played a few more songs to satisfy the cravings. The backbone of this movie is based on lyrical storytelling and they brought that to life. The casting was exceptional and I immediately got the impression that they chose very carefully who they selected.
