Year and program: Third-year, Psychology major and Interpersonal Development minor
Where is home for you? Anywhere that has my family (Hong Kong and Canada!)
What three adjectives best describe you?
Sincere, optimistic, ambitious
What extracurricular activities have you been involved with (UBC related or not)?
I was on the Art Undergraduate Society’s First Year committee, and I also joined the Pilates club in my second year. I’ve also recently been volunteering here and there at different organizations.
What is your best study strategy/tip?
Study early! No matter which subject it is that you are studying, the best tip that I could give you is to start early, that way, you can create a solid plan on how to tackle all that information. You’d feel less stressed out, and the more information that you’d retain. Always note down whatever information the teacher has hinted would be on that test, and use the study guides and learning objectives to study. Again, everyone has their own methods of studying, and whatever works best for you is the best study strategy!
If you could travel back in time to your first year at UBC, what is one thing you would do differently?
I would definitely be less stressed and just try to enjoy more of that first-year experience of being in a new environment and exploring the different opportunities that I had.
