Tips and Advice from Celina

What three adjectives best describe you?

Friendly, Passionate, Kind 

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

My favorite study space is the Music, Arts and Architecture Library within IKB (Irving K. Barber)! I find that the quiet environment allows me to focus and get through my study material! 

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

I love to go to the gym and do cardio! Staying active, even if just for a small portion of my day, helps refresh my mind and maintain my personal wellness.

What is your best study strategy/technique?

Mapping out my assignments and their due dates allows me to visualize the time I have to work on each one. This keeps me on track, and allows me to study consistently rather than all at once! 

If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would try to focus on the quality of my studying rather than the quantity! Taking time to learn how to study smarter earlier would have helped me tremendously.
