10. The Dingbat: A letter from the fifth-year in your first-year elective by Moira Wyton

SOCI 100 is a breeze if you've already had four years of research education – you probably wouldn't even break a sweat. The super power of just knowing how to have an academic conversation may seem God-given to first-years, but this letter clears it all up; we're just better than you.

9. The Dingbat: To all the boys I've seen on campus and never seen again by Tait Gamble

How often do you see someone on campus, someone you can see your spending your life with, only to never see them again. If this sounds like your brain everyday, you might not want to read this because it will likely hit too close to home.

8. Over 30 Canadian universities ranked by their mottos from worst to best by Angela O'Donnell and Tristan Wheeler

7. A review of residence food from someone who never had the misfortune of living in res by Sammy Smart

4. The UBC Twitter community is getting destroyed by every other university in Canada by Tristan Wheeler

For some strange reason, our campus is just not engaged in the Twittersphere. Maybe we prefer to meme on closed Facebook groups? Or maybe we prefer to TikTok stuff now? The fact remains though that our hashtag game was lacking this September.

3. Ever wonder what UBC would look like as an anime? Well, here it is by Tristan Wheeler

Well, I mean, the headline really says it all. If you enjoy the genre of anime and can't live without Crunchyroll, this is the video for you.

2. The Sauder Tim Horton's is a full Tim Horton's now. I repeat, The Sauder Tim Horton's is a full Tim Horton's now by Tristan Wheeler

Arguably the most important news story to come out of The Ubyssey this year. No scandal, government tax break or AMS happening could ever go overshadow the fact that we can get hot food at a fast food restaurant.

In a bonkers turn of events, Block Party headliner Tyga had a warrant out for his arrest for failing to appear in court. While it all worked out in the end (or did it?), there was a moment where we thought we wouldn't get to hear the dulcet tones of "Rack City."
