Hey All! My name is Taryn and welcome to my UBC blog! I’m a first year student coming from Toronto, ON and I’m very excited as Vancouver opens its lush green arms to me for the next four to five years.

My goal is to open up a space for first years like myself and encourage each other to get out, try new things, and be a part of as many experiences as possible (with reminders to call your mom every once in a while to let her know you’re alive).

If you’re looking for academic themed content then this blog may not be what you’re looking for (I am literally taking Intensive Japanese, Digital Media, Film Studies and a variety of Creative Writing courses first year… so if you would like information on those as I take them this year then by all means hit me up with questions). I tend to gravitate to the arts, music and entertainment, life hacks, fashion, all around fun stuff. In fear of making my post too long, I’m going to end it here. Today is August 26th 2015 and I will be arriving in Vancouver August 29! So perhaps my next post will about fun things to do in Vancouver (preferably on the cheap side) as well as upcoming events and concerts. Who knows!

Here’s a song to prove that I am trustworthy and to encourage you to come back for more. 🙂
