\u201cTo be honest, what really prompted my move was the city. I come from Lahore which is a big city. Kelowna isn\u2019t small but it was smaller than what I was used to. So immediately, I knew that I had to move. I remember once, I was comparing the courses offered at UBCV versus UBCO and after seeing how much more of a choice in the kinds of classes one could take, I realized that I had to transfer.<\/p>\n
Vancouver is just so different. It is surrounded by mountains and the ocean and is so beautiful. Even with a pandemic, there\u2019s just always something to do. I\u2019m also excited that there are so many more people. It\u2019s so nice to see that there are more people like you. There is more diversity so it makes you really feel at ease.<\/p>\n
This winter break when more people started moving into residence and on campus, I was finally able to make more friends on campus. Last semester, I didn\u2019t get a chance to meet that many new people but I hope this semester will be a little different. With everything being online, it’s so easy to not do anything and I don\u2019t want to do that. I\u2019ve been Facetiming people a lot more than I usually do. I like checking up with friends and family back home.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t come into university with the idea to major in Psychology. I took Psychology in A levels and I really liked it learning about different studies especially Milgram\u2019s study of obedience. I like that one because you always think that if you were in that situation, you would do things differently and that\u2019s probably what the participants of the study thought as well, so you\u2019re not actually that much different than you think.<\/p>\n
I also love applying all these different concepts to every aspect of my own life and see how I would act or what I would do. I want to apply what I have learned to larger society and think about what causes it to work in the way that it does. I\u2019m very interested in current world affairs especially right now with everything that\u2019s going on in terms of the Black Lives Matter movement and the struggle of the Indigenous peoples of North America and I\u2019d like to examine concepts such as race, power, and inequality from the point of view of both my majors, Anthropology, and Psychology\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
