The easiest way to find out if it’s for you is to go through recruitment. You won't be doing yourself a favour by deciding against going through recruitment based on what you think other people will think of you.
"I’m most excited for setting achievements and tackling them, whether I achieve them or not. [I'm] striving for something better, from the small to the big — hopefully, travelling abroad and just making a new footprint."
Last year, I saw the RHA idly watch the rumblings of UBC’s governance issues pass them by without comment, without inquiry and without action. International tuition increases? No comment. A call for affordable housing on campus? Nope.

We don't always have evidence of the tool itself. There are records of wood, leather, unripe bananas, bone and more. No matter how overwhelming your local sex shop’s dildo arsenal may be, they got nothing on human history.
There will be five(!) different presentations at the beginning of the next Council meeting, highlighting a diversity of things the AMS is working on throughout the summer and into the school year — including this year's Block Party.
Nearly every situation we face in our lives can become an opportunity to practice mindfulness. The challenge is that our automatic thoughts, ingrained beliefs and life-long habits usually militate against such practice.
Do you want a relationship? You've got to figure that out. Don’t try to start something just because there’s the possibility of something happening. Serious relationships aren’t something you should just enter willy nilly.
