“…when you’re older, absolutely everything makes sense.”

— Olaf

If you’ve somehow managed to wander onto my blog, you likely already have a vague idea of what it’s about.

Indeed, I’ve decided to write a blog outlining my experiences as a UBC student in hopes of offering some insight to you, the reader.

This brings us to our first question: Who are you?
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question on your behalf. I’m not sure who you are, nor do I know why you are here. However, I imagine that you must either be a past/present/future UBC student or you are very, very lost. No matter which of the categories you fall into, I welcome you to my blog and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Now, you might be wondering: Who am I?
This, I can answer. As this blog’s name might suggest, I am just another UBC student who has decided to take up blogging. Like over 1700 others, I entered the Faculty of Science as a first year BSc student in 2018. I hope that my experiences at UBC can help you make informed decisions as you navigate your life… because unlike Olaf’s claims, we all know that absolutely nothing makes sense no matter how old you get.

Finally: Why blog?
I have always loved writing blog posts, and this is definitely not my first time writing one! That fact shouldn’t surprise you given the absolutely amazing, professional quality of this blog. (I’m sorry, my experiences with blogging at the tender age of 12 didn’t really teach me too much, so bear with me.)
Really, though, I was inspired by other UBC students’ blogs that I found while doing research on my future enrolments. They provided me with a wealth of information regarding course expectations and exam styles. I would love to return the favour by providing my own insight into the courses that I have taken and give advice to students who may be enrolling in such courses in the future!

That wraps up our typical atypical introduction to this blog.
Hopefully you feel enlightened with your newfound knowledge. 🙂
