With Starbucks bringing out its seasonal drinks and Instagram-worthy foliage distracting from even the heaviest of construction, it is evident that fall has hit UBC campus. However, the return of everything pumpkin-spiced doesn’t just signal the beginning of excessive flannel-wear. Wander through Main Mall these days and you can undoubtedly pick up on the disturbing blend of rain and sexual frustration lingering in the crisp air.
Cuffing season has arrived. So, slip on your rain boots, bring a date to one of the following campus spots and maybe you will end up with a special someone to make the cold, dark months ahead a little less dreadful.
Rain or Shine Ice Cream
As their name suggests, frozen treats are a staple year-round. So, whether you are into their adventurous flavours or keep it vanilla, Rain or Shine is the perfect place to share a scoop — or five — with someone special.
Get psychological
Go the unusual route and participate in one of several psychology studies conducted at UBC to get to know others — and yourself — on a whole other level. Afterwards, if the date goes well, use the revenue to grab a coffee. If it doesn’t, at least you made 10 bucks and now know why you have a deep fear of intimacy.
Wreck Beach
Who said beaches are just for the summer? Bring a blanket and cuddle up to watch the sunset, before climbing the 500 steps stupidly fast to prove just how fit you are. But remember, Wreck Beach is clothing optional, so keep your eyes on your date. Cold weather does not stop the nudists.
Tacomio
Want to impress your beau, but don’t possess the level of physical fitness required for Wreck Beach? Visit Tacomio on University Boulevard, indulge in Mexican street food and douse your taco in a ridiculous amount of their signature hot sauce. Hopefully much more than your mouth will be on fire.
