In the last while, i’ve found it semi-difficult to think up topics to write about. I feel like school has really consumed the time in my life in the past while and I didn’t want to be blogging about all the midterms I was plowing my way through.
In the last month, i’ve done a million applications for jobs and extra-curricular activities, studied many hours (but not enough) for midterms and such, wrote a paper that actually stressed me out as I tried to reach the word count (which doesn’t really happen for me in other cases because I usually have too much to say about topics so that was weird), and basically rinsed and repeated my work-school-sleep-eat schedule over and over again. I must say that the last month has really tested my ability to be responsible for the work I want to get done both academically and non-academically.
I must say that first year passed quickly. Although it’s not over (about a month to go including one week and a half of classes and three weeks of exams) I feel like it’s basically the final stretch. I faced a lot of successes and failures (especially in the past while) and first year really helps you experiment and adapt to feelings you may not have felt in high school and such. I just know that this year was a great year to learn and I have no doubt that UBC will provide a similar experience for me next year.
Before I end off, I do want to review something new that I tried in the past while. I’m a fanatic for taiwanese cuisine (particularly food at bubble tea restaurants) and a restaurant called WellTea opened in the village in the last while. I must say that it is a different change from the typical food at campus but it is quite expensive for its portions and the quality. But then again, campus life is super expensive in general. If you plan on trying it, I do recommend having taiwanese deep fried chicken (which is by far my favourite item to order at these places) with noodle or rice as a different change from all the food at the village/at the Sub.
Good luck with all the finals!

Congrats on finishing first year! I had hazelnut/coffee bubbletea at WellTea (yea I know I know I’m weird and white-washed even when it comes to bbt), slightly bitter but excellent nonetheless.
