Hope everyone is holding up, I can’t believe the term is almost over already and finals are just around the corner AHHHHHHHHH! This month has flown by as I’ve been busy with school (of course, who isn’t?), work, and volunteering.

It’s been super rainy these past couple of months so I’m glad the sun finally decided to show up! With exams, papers, projects, and assignments bombarding you as we reach the end of this school year, it’s important to remember to take a breather and this surprisingly sunny Vancouver weather should help! Here are 5 things to do at UBC on a sunny Vancouver day:

Photography

If you’re into taking pictures, sunny weather makes great lighting! You don’t need a DSLR camera or anything like that to capture the nice scenery on campus. The mountains and the cherry blossom trees on campus make great photo-ops (especially for Instagram). You can even have a photoshoot with your friends!

Grab Some Froyo With Friends

I love frozen yogurt, especially on a sunny day. With 2 Qoola locations on campus this makes it easy to satisfy my froyo cravings. If you’re feeling like getting away from campus (but not too far), there’s a Menchie’s location at Wesbrook Village (the 41 bus can take you there).

Go To The Beach

Feeling beachy? Wreck Beach is right on campus or you can check out Spanish Banks Beach (a bit further from the main campus). Remember to slather on that sunscreen and wear your shades.

Visit the Nitobe Japanese Memorial Garden

A lovely garden located right on campus beside the Asian Centre. It’s full of cherry blossom trees and is perfect for a spring stroll on a sunny day. I’ve never actually been here but it’s on my bucket list!

Sit On The Grass

While walking around on campus this week I’ve seen plenty of people suntanning on the vast amounts grass we have at UBC. Feel free to join them and soak in that vitamin D!

Hope everyone survives this last bit of the school year! Good luck on your exams, papers, projects!
