Reflection from the Ordinary

Everyone I meet at UBC… is amazing.

Everyone has special talents and skills and it’s super insane! From past school presidents, to musicians, to artists, to singers, I met so many talented people. In fact it’s incredibly difficult to run into people who aren’t awesome at UBC.

Err. Except maybe me.

Not that I’m not awesome or anything, we ordinary peeps are full of that ;D (just kidding, I’m still just ordinary and maybe a little boring)… I just feel like I don’t have super extra curricular talents.

I wanted to blog about being “ordinary” because of the off chance that some people are feeling just as insecure as I am on the giant campus that is UBC… where people of awesomeness come from all over the world.

But let me tell you something, regular people, maybe it’s the fear of failure, or just simple hesitance to go out and try… but if there is something you want to become good at… something you want people to look at you with shocked expressions of “What?! You can juggle 6 flaming torches while riding a unicycle!?” … then UBC is the perfect place to do that! Loads of opportunities!

…I mean, maybe I’m not part of an orchestra as the second most important violinist, maybe I’m not 15 and in first year university, maybe I haven’t climbed up a mountain before…

BUT I’m in blog squad so HA.

…Just kidding!

There’s lots of ways to get involved and if you don’t even know where to start… Let me lend you a hand. Head to Brock Hall, go to the Centre for Student Involvement and Careers! They are super friendly there! And if you feel like getting involved AND approaching strangers is too much in one go (Trust me bro, I know the feel) then try starting your search online right HERE.

But hey, if it’s still bringing you down, look at it this way.

…In a world full of talented people… aren’t the ordinary people the rare and unique ones that should be treasured and loved?! AKA WE’RE SPECIAL.

No, but seriously. If you’ve always dreamt of being a dancer, take a class at UBC REC Center, if you’ve always been interested in stars, join the Astronomy Club. LIVE YOUR EXTRACURRICULAR DREAMS. Cause you CAN!

…But maybe after exams.

I should be studying.

 

Was this a good day or a bad day?

Cons:
– Failed another math quiz (and by failed I mean I got it back and it was NOT a pass. BOO SCHOOL.) (This quiz is different from the one that I’m pretty sure I got a solid mark on)
– Got slightly below average on my physics midterm (I seriously – I don’t – so much – this was my fault and I hate myself for it)
– I spilled hot chocolate into Taylor’s (HE’S SUPER FRIENDLY THOUGH) backpack and got some of his papers nice and chocolate-y (I am so sorry Taylor if you ever read my blog I am so so so so sorry) …(Guys I felt like a horrible human being.)
– It got dark before I got on the bus and my shoes got wet
– I got ditched by a friend from high school that I was supposed to bus home with
– The skytrain was PACKED when I got to Commercial (Curse you rush hour!!!)
–  I managed to not absorb any information from both my lectures today.
– I haven’t touched my English 112 paper due next Wednesday (Just kidding, I promise, I’m actually multi-tasking and doing it right now too)

Pros: 
– Finished a rough draft of my Chem Lab Exam procedure (Yay acid base titrations?)
– Got free hot chocolate
– Actually did a solid 20 minute work out
– The SUN CAME OUT
– Found out I don’t have Physics Class on Thursday!
– Got through my CSP Workshop presentation alive 😀 (Though there was a little scare that the powerpoint wouldn’t work at first, but it ended up working out!)
–  I got to see that cute guy that I love to ogle on campus (Wait which one is that?) (Wait, Kim, that’s creepy)
– Pretty sure I got a solid mark on my math quiz.
– Remembering Paul Lee wasn’t from Vancouver and didn’t know what English Bay was and why fireworks were being fired from boats in the water.
– I ATE WAFFLE FRIES WITH GRAVY (So food will always be a win?)

Okay so I didn’t know how this post would go. But I started my morning receiving that horrid physics mark and it kinda ruined my entire day. But doing this really made me realize that today was not a bad day. It was a pretty damn average, basically alright, day.

Plus I ate some waffle fries. Seriously if you haven’t had those head to the SUB and go downstairs. Please eat them. Eat them for me. Enjoy them. Nomnonmnomnomnom waffle fries.

Anyways, I recommend doing this if you felt you’ve had a bad day. You’d be surprised at how many good things you can come up with. Plus it’ll make you realize that maybe, just maybe, your day wasn’t that bad at all 🙂
