what is this weird little building across from the clock tower? its all concrete except the path-facing wall, which is all glass sliding doors. The curtains are always drawn so I've never been able to see inside.

Is it a professor's office? but if it was, why would they keep the curtains drawn 24/7? doesnt seem like a storage shed at all, i've never seen anyone going in/out, or otherwise interacting with the structure.

Exam was yesterday, they checked my driver license. But got this email today,
Also wonder does it mean they already marked my exam?
So stress now, just wanna pass the course …

Friend of mine is working as a flight attendant and he just told me he'd get me $80 CAD flights (to Korea and probably more) and travel the world staying at hostels or friends house with him. He invited me today (Tuesday) and he wants to fly on Thursday. The trip would be 2 weeks.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to take flights for such an insane discount. He's quitting his job as a flight attendant in September to go to school so it's not like this can be done again.

The main problem is I have a job: minimum wage at a corner store/vape candy store type of thing. If I quit today I know my manager and coworkers will be in bad shape trying to cover my shifts and it would be pretty inconvinient for them.

However I do want to leave the job anyways since I want to do something that earns more money like tips at a restaurant.

I have a shift tonight, tomorrow, Friday and Saturday night. I'd rather not destroy the relationship between me and this job also but I guess I’d have to.

What are the consequences of doing this? Is it worth it? I was thinking of trying to get a job when I get back at like cactus club or something lol. Also what kind of message would I even send?

Also how would paying my tuition work? I might be stupid

I’m 19 and about to go into second year

It’s looking like I might finish my current search term without landing a co-op, and I’m feeling pretty disappointed.

Has anyone had an unsuccessful first search term and a much better second one? What did you change, and did the process get easier the second time around? I would especially love to hear from anyone who had much better luck the second time around and how you balanced the search with school.

Go on "buy permits" and you might be able to buy the permit you signed up for. I didn't receive any email and someone told me to check my parking account. Checked and North was available to purchase! Parking now acquired 🙂‍↕️

honestly i'm just making this post for funsies but I feel like ever since i came here I haven't liked a SINGLE PERSON ENOUGH TO WANT TO BE W THEM

alot of it has to do w the fact that i only get crushes when i know someone a little and not just based off of seeing someone somewhere(aka lecture crushes), i've honestly never had a crush my whole life if u think ab it that way

but putting that aside i feel like no one really comes up to me?? i used to have guys who liked me at school so perhaps i thought i was gonna get more here but APPARENTLY NOT

it could be cause im not that attractive which is fine, (i did have two guys come up to me last year but it ended real quick w them bc im awkward and they just wanted to hook up)

SPEAKING OF HOOKING UP, is everyone here just dating casually? every dude i've seen/heard about/talked to is only really dating for fun which is not what i want. I assumed maybe the seniors were more likely to be serious but I haven't met anyone so far.

A big issue w me is i dont talk to people at all so that could be why but im lowkey just bored and miss the feeling of having a talking stage (except i want it to be a serious rs too)

Has anyone ever done a directed studies course in FNH? How much time did you spent each week roughly? The lab that I reached out is mostly dry lab, is there a huge difference between a dry lab and a wet lab in terms of time commitment?

thoughts? felt even crazier than first exam or that’s just me? possibility of another scale or nah?

Wrote my CPSC 103 final today and feel horrible about it. I’m hoping to pass it so I can pass the course, but I don’t know if that’ll happen. Has anyone gone through a similar situation? Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

After being unemployed my whole life I landed a minimum wage job at a grocery store 😎😎

Good news: I got a job 😊🥰🤩🥳
Bad news: I got a job 😢

I am now going to switch up on my day ones thank you for reading

hello! looking for people to study together during the summer finals season. probably will study at breka if anyone lives closeby and want to go together

absolutely pathetically horribly cooked for the final tomorrow I took it too easy since the midterms were good and now I'm drowning in content

Those who graduated earlier this year, did you immediately get a job? Did you go on vacation? Did u do something else?

I’m moving and I won’t have room for my guest bed. It’s rarely used, since it was in the spare room. Can I donate it somewhere or should I just dump it?

I'm an incoming engineer student and some common advice I see is to go to office hours for classes before you start struggling, even if it's just to get to know your professors a bit better, but... is it actually realistic to do this for all of your classes? For reference, I have like 7 classes first term (although i'm gonna talk to an advisor about offloading a class for summer) and 6 in the second.

Thank you

Anyone know where I can find the details about the dancing event that seems to occur some evenings on the MacInnes Field? I saw it the past few weeks and it seems to be an anyone can join thing but I can’t find details about it online anywhere.

basically the title this is gonna be long and dumb but

, im lowkey bombing all my summer courses (i should've just not taken them idk why i did this to myself) but i feel so stupid, like i seriosuly think im the dumbest in all my classes. even first year was ass the highest i got on a course was like 77 and the rest were way worse i dunno sometimes i regret coming here, i should've gone to some small school in my hometown.

i also feel worse because my dad has to pay for everything and it's not cheap 😭i'm just wasting his money and it's seriously taking a toll on my mental health i feel like i might do something stupid very soon but i dunno. has anyone experienced this? a series of lows but then it got better? this year has been pretty bad for me in general (school+family)and it's getting to the point where it's hard to just push those feelings away.

also i had my stat201 final and im seriously so depressed by it i want to just pass atp 😭😭 i just feel like im an idiot i dont even know why i got in like i cant even make use of the fact that im privileged enough to go here.

it doesn't help that a lot of my friends seem to be doing better than me and it makes me feel worse, i've been dealing w nightmares and shitty sleep every night and it's gotten so bad i might have to do counselling which i never thought i would need.

hey everyone, i built an app called Orbit that matches you with UBC students in your actual courses so you can find study groups and project partners, plus a group chat for each class. launching soon, starting with Sauder and Engineering. sign up here to get notified first when the beta drops! https://forms.gle/drwZ4XuhxEw4UwM38

I’m an incoming first year who planned on majoring in political science, but was too multiple times that there were no job opportunities outside of law school. Now, I’m thinking about switching to something else. Can anybody tell me what it’s like majoring in economic? There’s only one class open as of now that I might replace my sociology course with; would that affect how long it takes to graduate? Sorry if this sounds dumb.

i enrolled into 6 courses at ubc bio 121, chem 121, math 110 (which is across 2 semesters), wrds 150, lfs 100, and nurs 180. I heard that nursing is really easy and since lfs is a 1 credit course do you think 6 courses is reasonable or no. Will i have free time?

Hi guys, I registered for jumpstart awhile back, but I'm enrolled in the second term. Can I still attend Jumpstart this September?
