Tips and Advice from Rebecca
What three adjectives best describe you?
Caring, curious and conscientious!
Where is your favourite place to study and why?
That's a tricky one—there are so many great study spots on campus! I like going up to the top floor at IKB which lets in the perfect amount of light and being surrounded by other people studying really helps me stay focused.
What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?
Getting myself up and moving outside is a great way for me to unwind, de-stress and get some fresh air. I love going on runs outside when the weather is nice or just for a nice walk with friends!
What is your best study strategy/technique?
Learning takes time—oftentimes more than we expect. I like to plan ahead as if my deadlines/exams/midterms are a few days sooner than they actually are! This gives you extra room in case life happens and something unexpected pops up. It will also prevent you from having to stretch yourself thin by cramming everything together!
If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?
I would have taken more initiative in putting myself out there first and meeting more people. You can form amazing connections with others and learn so much from each individual, unique person!
