Tips and Advice from Divine

What three adjectives best describe you?

Dedicated, Empathetic, Organized

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

The Woodward Library basement! I love the subtle greenery and dimmed lighting. There is also a dedicated quiet study space with lots of seating.

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

I enjoy journalling, since it helps me destress, reflect, and plan for the future. Getting my thoughts down also eliminates distractions during work sessions.

What is your best study strategy/technique?

When doing problems, working through a group/entire set (even if that means skipping questions I don’t get) before looking at the answers and marking everything at the end helps me understand where I need to improve. I will then redo any missed questions or add them to a running error log to practice later. Separating the marking task also allows me to keep up the momentum while working.

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

I would definitely prioritize my sleep a lot more!
