As students attending one of the top universities in the world, we often walk the line between being a committed student versus flirting with self-endangerment. We sacrifice our own well-being, fail to take a step back when we most need it.

“I was so happy and nice last year, but this year... I don't know. I've gotten lazy and my grades show. I have no motivation to do anything. I just lie down every day, watch movies and do nothing productive. What should I do?”
Agenda items can seem long, mysterious and confusing without the proper background, making it difficult to see how these issues affect students. Here’s what to watch out for in the upcoming AMS Council meeting on May 18.
After interviewing the sources that the news editors provided for me, I was at the next barrier of writing my first article for The Ubyssey and being scared shitless — having many questions that could only be answered in person by the editors.
The inception phase of this project is identified as April-September 2016, leaving little time for further “consultations” on our campus. I make the following requests for you as members of the UBC Board of Governors:
The moment we start second guessing an individual’s motives based solely on how an individual looks or how they identify, we lose our ability to make every patron who uses the service feel safe and comfortable.
Being a victim of sexual assault means that every extra half hour I have to wait to use this service because of the people who are abusing it is another half hour I’m left feeling vulnerable and insecure.
I’m 90 per cent sure I just failed two of my classes and I have a final tomorrow that I’m going to fail too. I kind of figured I would just pass, but now I’m really starting to panic. What do I do? Will I be kicked out of UBC???
[Holi] is a time to let loose ... and celebrate our beautiful culture. We're frankly appalled by the recent unsolicited Ubyssey article written by a self-proclaimed “non-Nepalese/non-Indian/non-Hindu” individual with zero Desi presence in the piece.
A social enterprise is a business that can make profits, but that has a mandate to reinvest those profits back into society to fulfill a greater social need, from hiring people with barriers to employment, to the commitment of buying local produce.
In the wake of the recent release of the "executive summary" of the outside review commissioned by UBC and of the presentation of the history department’s own mediator, I have a few additional observations.
I am in no place to decide what these folks should be offended about. I’m just a person who cares about political correctness and I’m here to “ruin everything” so people don’t run around being inconsiderate bigots.
Let's take a second to think about what we'd be losing. There are many private tutors available in Vancouver, but they charge exorbitant rates. On top of the pressure to succeed despite gruelling academic standards, UBC is already so expensive.
I put up with your slimy PR bullshit that you unapologetically ooze in the name of mental health awareness because I believed it… Fuck. I actually bought it. You told me you “make a difference” and I swallowed it like a fistful of lithium.
I didn’t get my new girlfriend anything for Valentine’s Day and I thought we were on the same page about it, but now she’s acting weird. I’m 90 per cent sure it’s about not getting flowers or candy or whatever her friends got from their boyfriends.
