Tips and Advice from Melody

What Three Adjectives Best Describe You?

Friendly, hardworking, talkative

Where Is Your Favourite Place To Study And Why?

Any coffee shop! I love a louder and busier environment for studying (although it might not be the best for distractions) and it is great to be able to take a break for some delicious coffee!

What Is One Activity You Do To Maintain Personal Wellness?

I try to get outside as much as I can! Hiking, walking, camping, it always puts me in a better mood!

What Is Your Best Study Strategy/Technique?

I LOVE daily planners and checklists. I'm always forgetting things I need to do, so writing them down helps organize the chaos of my mind! A lot of the time once I write down everything I need to do, I realize that it is a lot less daunting than I originally thought!

If You Could Travel Back In Time To Your First Year At UBC, What Is One Thing You Would Do Differently?

I would make more time for non-academic activities! I feel like I focused a little too hard on ONLY school during my first year and lost sight of some of my passions. It's a difficult balance to maintain, but having non-academic interests is SO important!
