Tip of the Post:
If you’re a Science student and have forgotten our amazing cheer, here it is:
3.14159, we are Science – we’re so fine.
Physics, Bio, Chemistry: you can’t handle our degree!
SCI-ENCE! U-B-C!!!
My Frosh was absolutely incredible. Imagine – 200 people (excluding our leaders, some of whom were sporting some very nice underwear over their clothes in a fit of faculty pride) running around campus and downtown Vancouver for ten hours and dancing up a storm on a private boat cruise near Vancouver – dessert included. I can’t believe how much fun I had yesterday! Frosh events have so much potential to be epic, and I wasn’t disappointed in any way! How could I have been? I got to participate in: a milk chug (dyed blue, of course, for the faculty); a spontaneous water balloon fight; a scavenger hunt set in downtown Vancouver that asked for things such as a bottle filled with my group’s spit, a blue slinky, photo evidence of being piggybacked by a cop, a xerox of somebody’s face, sneaky paparazzi photos of celebrity look-alikes; and many more (incredibly bizarre) things. Anyways, I think the Science Undergraduate Society (SUS) and UBC’s Faculty of Science (as well as all the amazing volunteers) deserve a HUGE thanks for donating so much of their time and amazing ideas to the day.
So THANKS!!!!!!!!
All that aside, yesterday was also my 18th birthday. Like Frosh, it was about as close to perfect as it could get. I had cake on the boat cruise, and on the way home my Frosher/fellow Froshees were sweet enough to sing to me. My inbox and Facebook wall were full of birthday wishes. And, to top it all off, I arrived home at 12:30 – dead tired – to a decorated door that was quite “phalic” as my RA described it, but full of love all the same. To Kayla, Nikki, Nicholas, Eileen, John, Lucy, Jason, Emily, Aron, and Riley: thank you so much. I thought that having a birthday so quickly after leaving home would be really sad… I guess it just goes to show that you never know when so much kindness and caring are going to hit you. Be prepared – it’s a touching moment. Anyways, to EVERYONE who made September 6/2008 the day it was, thanks. I can’t say it enough.
I can’t imagine a better way to have finally reached adulthood.
LOVE,
Lindsay
