023. My life in five

How has my exam break been? Between studying, eating, sleeping and more studying, here’s what I’ve been up to:

ONE: I started training at my job at the bookstore. I swipe your credit cards and scan your books/mugs/UBC clothing/pens. It’s fun. My last shift before Christmas break is Monday and I do like fun conversations when things are slow, so come on by.

TWO: I wrote my first university exam: Psychology 100. I studied my butt off, and I think it went well. We’ll see when marks are posted, but I definitely passed. To everyone who has already written one, I hope they went well. Or if you have yet to write one, or still have more to go, the best of luck. I’m sending good vibes to you all. Christmas break is just around the corner. I, myself have one more exam to do on Tuesday, and then I’m heading to the airport to go back to Ontario (eigdyafdyfaid!! so excited!).

THREE: I registered for Student Leadership Conference and I’m super stoked. If you have a chance to go this year, please do. It looks like it is going to be amazing! The keynote speakers are awesome (hello! The Buried Life?!), there are over 80 workshops/activities to do, so you’re bound to find something that tickles your fancy, and it should overall just be an awesome day of leadership building. It’s on January 8th and if you want to register, visit the website here.

FOUR: I volunteered at a homeless shelter yesterday with the Vancouver MOB. It was fun to give back, especially around the holidays when a lot of people are caught up in the hype of shopping and wants and lists. I helped stuff bags filled with goodies that some very awesome people will receive.

FIVE: I also went on the Christmas train and to The Naam again last night. Both were just as amazing as the first time. It was raining (of course, what’s new?) but I still felt an abundance of Christmas cheer. The train is still on until sometime in the beginning of January. If you’re around in Vancity for the holidays, I would totally check it out. It’s only a few dollars and it’ll make you feel like a kid again.

Well, I guess it’s time for me to study…or go to Chapters with Nicole…yeah. Ciao!
