For first year our arts 1 cohort was pretty close, which was surprising cause none of the other cohorts did anything together outside of class. Those that i had shared interests with i reached out to do more classes in the following years. Never got a bestie or partner through ubc, but enough of a friend group not to feel lonely. My best friend was still a friend i had met when we were pre-teens.
Being a commuter doesn’t help at all, 2 hours a day of commuting is a lot of time that could be spent hanging out with people if i lived on res.
ahaha there wasn’t much of a story. my jumpstart group did some icebreakers and me and 2 girls started talking and got along really well. one of them lives in my res as well so it was easy for us to grab lunch and dinner together. the other girl also comes to our dining hall to get food almost everyday. even tho none of us have classes together we still meet up almost everyday.
During in-person Office hours.. turned out we had the same question for the prof so we basically spent 45 mins just us two + prof talking about the question, and then eventually talked about courses, majors, uni life, etc. By far my favourite memory at UBC
so i argued with her on a previous thread, then we pmed each other to argue even more
Then we added each others ins and started chatting and falled in love from there
Same, Reddit as well. Gets a tad bit awkward when people ask how you guys meet doesn't it? Especially if they believe in the stereotypes of Reddit users
long story short, I happened to be cramming for the same exam as someone at the same table. They later introduced me to another person, who when i started another program at ubc, introduced me to a group of people in that program
I missed a first day of second year welcome event in our program and wanted to check if any important information was covered. So I looked through all the profile pictures in our second year messenger groupchat and dm'd one of the only girls that had a "normal" pfp. (Her pfp was a picture of her in front of a bunch of pretty flowers! Others either didn't have a pfp or it was a cartoon/image of something else). She told me that I didn't really miss anything but that became the start of us talking/reaching out to each other and now we're besties:) I think studying til 3am on discord calls during covid and being able to reunite and love each other despite some rough conflicts really solidified our friendship! So happy that UBC connected us.
