1st Term Thoughts

About a week ago from today, I was supposed to have finished my last final of the term. (Except it was a snow day, so finals got cancelled and now I have to write a final the first week back from winter break – I’m totally bitter but no matter)

Marks were released last Thursday (seriously December is so stressful for so many different reasons), and that marked (heh) the end of my first term attending UBC.

Ohhhh man were the last 4 months a wild ride.

I took 5 courses last term, despite many people suggesting first years only take 4 courses to ease into the ways of uni. There were some times that I wish I had listened to their advice, but I would think about my friends in the Engineering department and convince myself this is better than taking 7+ courses (respect to you people).  Continue reading →

First Week Adventures 1- Imagine Day

So the first week of my university adventure has officially ended.

I survived, I enjoyed it immensely, but I also think I definitely lost some part of my sanity along the way (who needs that anyways). After experiencing the wild ride that is September 6, 2016 to September 9, 2016, I decided it’s time to reflect on the happenings of my first week as an UBC student!

I may or may not also be writing this blog post because I want to ignore all the pre-readings I have to do by Monday. I’m off to a great start aren’t I 😀

Day 1: (September 6th, Imagine Day)

For Imagine Day, I was assigned to Squad 74, to a group called Schrodinger. After I finally located my group, I was mildly disappointed that there wasn’t a cat drawn on it. Our group leader said that no one would get it if we drew a cat next to the word Schrodinger. (seriously? you get it, right? CAT, SCHRODINGER, COME ON) After I got over my initial disappointment of over the sign, I found that all my group members were very friendly and nice and easy to talk to. (Shout out to Schrodinger, thank you for being awesome)

After we met up and assembled our Imagine groups, we were herded towards the Doug Mitchell Arena to meet our dean and our SUS (Science Undergrad Society) Team.
