Hi, my name is Jasmine Lam. Im 17 years old from Hong Kong. I will be a first year commerce student this fall! To be honest I am quite nervous about coming to Mac because I don't know anyone going there and always worried about if i'll fit in and stuff especially since Im not living in res. I am not quite sure what my plan is after university, probably something to do HRM or Marketing. I really enjoy meeting new people though at the same time I can be quite quiet and shy but if you get to know me I am very outgoing! Outside of school I love to play sports, especially team sports (Basketball being one of my favourite!) I also love to watch movies and just hang out and chat with friends. I love being around people as much as possible. I joined Macinsiders because it seems like a great resource to students especially first year students throughout the school year and hope to meet some nice people before school starts

Term 1:
Commerce 1PA0
Comp Sci 1BA3
Econ 1BB3
Health Age 1BB3
Math 1F03
Stats 1L03

Term 2:
Anthro 1Z03 (evening)
Chem 1R03 (evening)

Welcome to the MI community and McMaster University Jasmine !

Welcome to MI and Mac Jasmine! And don't worry about making new friends or meeting new people. Just take a risk and join a club, talk to people beside you in class, and you'll make friends in no time! Also, I've taken Hth Age 1BB3 and I loved the course. Check out my course review here: http://www.macinsiders.com/showthrea...tr=H&t=37 027 and feel free to ask any questions about the course!
