Camile posted this to my facebook wall along with the photo- “i think youre in a ubc recruiting email i got! =D”
Yep, that’s me. Second from the right. Even without the reminders that Blog Squad links are sent out to prospective UBC students, I think about you guys (the prospecteeves) most likely on a daily basis. When I was applying to UBC, I read all of Phoebe’s Blog from beginning to end. I began dreaming of being on Blog Squad and making the most amazing and interesting resource for you guys, the prospecteeves, to get to know UBC without actually visiting campus. I never saw Vancouver or campus before move in day in Totem Park. Blog Squad, facebook creeping, twitter searching, ubc.ca lurking, googling and many YouTube searches lead me to the decision that this school was right for me. And you know what? UBC- It’s all I dreamed of and more. It’s never disappointed me and I don’t ever want to leave.
So, my dear prosepcteeves, since you are sent here to learn about what life at UBC is like, I’m going to be posting more content related to you. It is my personal goal to communicate just how wicked-awesome UBC life is and for you to feel the same passion I have just by reading my blog posts. I hope that I will become your Phoebe and that if you want to know more about something that you will leave me a comment. I’ve already had some prospecteeves email me and we are meeting up next Friday for lunch when they are here visiting from Ontario! How cool is that?
So, as I finish this blog post before I head off to Buchanan for French 102, I want all of you to know that Pizza Pizza from Pacific Spirit Place in the SUB makes amazing cheese-less pizza (I’m lactose, okay?) and that Vancouver is the most beautiful place I have ever come across in Canada.
cheese is awesome
Hey, you should do a short blog about Storm the Wall. Its coming up real soon from March 28th to April 1st.
Ahh those photos bring back some good memories. Brunch. Yum!
I’m so excited to be getting a chance to experience the UBC life!
I’ve started to pack, but what kind of shoes should I bring? Are rubber boots really that necessary? Or should I be okay with running shoes and flats?
Eva- UBC has been pretty warm lately with little rain. I’ve been okay with flats and it only raining once or twice a week (a lot better than the usual 1 day of sunshine every 2 weeks) so it’s up to you if you feel rubber boots are necessary.
Thanks so much Erica. I’ve been following your blog since the beginning of the school year. I’ve wanted to go to UBC for a while now, but your blog has really solidified my choice. I’m going to UBC next year and a part of that was influenced by you! Thanks again! And keep it up, it’s a pleasure to read.
