As a second year student at the Sauder School of Business, I (Christian Morris) think it’s safe to say my life is one huge wreck….and yes you heard me correctly. I mean listen to this, before my first year at UBC I was kicked out of my house and forced to live on campus with all my friends; I was obliged to eat out three times a day, AND was pressured to study on a regular basis. What more is I had only two tennis courts at my disposal and a wallet as heavy as my econ textbook WHICH I had to lug around campus all day!!<\/p>\n

How could he!? My idol! My hero! selling his soul to capitalism by taking part in a commercial, advertising the new Wilson BLX models (only $179.99 in all local tennis stores near you, by the way)! Who am I kidding, I love this commercial, and although Roger Federer is now an influencer in the world of marketing, and a terrible actor might I add, he sold me right away. The next day I picked up my very own Wilson BLX Pro Open and slaughtered my buddy at the Vanier courts I was forced to walk alllll the way down to…<\/p>\n
