Tips and Advice from Flora

What three adjectives best describe you?

Thoughtful, Friendly, Adventurous

Where is your favourite place to study and why?

I love studying in the Koerner Library basement! The cubicle desks and the silence are just what I need to be able to lock in.

What is one activity you do to maintain personal wellness?

Whenever I can, I enjoy going on walks or runs outside. The exercise and fresh air really help me de-stress and take my mind off school/studying for a while. It’s even better when I’m joined by friends!

What is your best study strategy/technique?

I’m naturally a pretty forgetful person, so I find that using a planner and making daily/weekly to-do lists really helps me ensure that I’m keeping up with all my assignments, projects, and exams. Being able to see my tasks at a glance allows me to focus without worrying about missing anything!

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 be more involved by attending campus events and joining clubs! There are so many opportunities to connect with people and explore interests, and I wish I took advantage of that in my first year.
