If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?

I would take the time to ask questions to professors/faculty/other students, explore new clubs or on-campus opportunities, and ultimately take more risks. University is the space to try new things and go out of your comfort zone before you commit to a long-term career, and there are many spaces at UBC to do so if you look!
