UBC Clubs Days, and so on.

Hi hi! So, while I should be studying after totally failing my math 184 quiz, I decided to take a few minutes to do a new post. Although nobody really reads it, I enjoy just writing because it lets me reflect on myself and what I've been up to. I do appreciate readers though, so don't get me wrong! :)

This week, Wednesday-Friday, is Clubs Days at UBC. The 300+ clubs offered by UBC's AMS (Alma Mater Society) set up booths in the SUB (Student Union Building) and there is quite a vast number of clubs for pretty much anything you can think of. Ethnic clubs, dance clubs, political clubs, whatever you can think of, they probably have it. After getting a little preview of some of the clubs at Imagine Day, I decided that I was going to join a few clubs. I had my mind set on a few, but I knew I wanted to join an ethnic club, a volunteering club, and then a fun club! To start off my quest to join clubs, I went searching for the UBC Romanian Club. Was I ever surprised last year when my friend told me about this! I enjoy my culture and am proud of who I am, so I decided that joining an ethnic club would be great. The UBC Romanian Club puts on tons of fun events, and you don't have to be a member to show up to them. I did become a member, but I just wanted to put that out there. After having a great performance last week of "O Noapte Furtunoasa", they're hosting an awesome event in the Elk's Hall in Port Coquitlam this Saturday to celebrate an amazing performance. There's music and such, and a great place to hang out. Although I won't be attending because Saturday is Graffiti Night at Place Vanier!, I'm sure it will be an amazing event. :)
Next, I decided to join a volunteering club. Since I will be applying for a transfer into UBC's Sauder School of Business, I needed something that will reflect well on my resume, as well as a great club to get involved in the community with. After going through all the clubs, I decided on the Children's Health Association at UBC. This is a great club where students volunteer at innercity schools to teach kids about different important topics. I am sure this will be an amazing club and I will gain so much out of it!
Then today, I went back to join a club I considered yesterday. It's called food society! You pretty much get to meet people, go to dinner, try new things, and have fun! they also have mini clubs inside of it, and one that caught my eye was a baking style mini club. So I think this will be tons of fun! I mean, who doesn't love food? :)

What I couldn't get over was the fact that UBC does not have a baking club! While there is a mini club inside food society dedicated to baking, there is no official baking club. Of course, when I get into one of those moods, I decide, well, why not start my own club! While there are lots of logistics to figure out, and paperwork to apply for the creation of a club, I feel that this would be a great thing! I'll keep you all posted on how that works out.

Now, it's off to study. I have a math assignment due tomorrow, and I have got to start working harder. I mean, you know you aren't trying hard enough when you have less homework in university than when you did in high school?
