A NOTE FROM YOUR RLM

As we transition into November, we have been noticing the brisk walks, beautiful

colours, and recently some very creative costumes and haunted houses. November and Octo-

ber can also be two months of stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep due to midterms. The majority

of you should be wrapping up your midterms now, preparing for term papers and realizing

first term is already more than halfway through! Looking back at my

first year living in residence, I remember a few events during the

months of October and November, including my first and second eco-

nomics midterms and turning our floor lounge into a haunted house.

The economics midterm was my academic awakening in that

I was not in high school anymore and that my grades were looking like

they would be much lower. I quickly learned that studying involved

much more than just skimming over notes a few days prior to the ex-

am. Leading into my second economics midterm, I had a much better

plan, along with some other friends on my floor who were also in eco-

nomics. We came together, studied together, and tested each other on

some of the topics and questions we might have encountered on the

next exam. Although I did not score extremely well on the second midterm, I was definitely

happy to see improvement in my grades.

Towards the end of October, there was a building-wide contest for creating the best floor

lounge haunted house, and it was a lot of fun working with my floor mates to try and spook the

judges with our SAW-themed room. We all worked together to decorate the room, got costumes

for each of our characters in the lounge, and shared ideas of what would be fun and spooky to

do. At the end of it all, we came in third out of fourteen teams, so we were pretty excited.

October is when the first real academic realization of what University is all about hap-

pens. October and November can be the first real drop on your roller coaster throughout the

year, and you may be at a low point right now. However, it is important to recognize the sup-

port network you have in the community around you. My floor and I were able to come togeth-

er, study, and bounce back academically. A lot of us were pretty stressed at the end of Octo-

ber, but taking a night off and working together on a fun haunted lounge was just what we

needed, and it was something we did together. Your year will have its ups and downs, so the

best thing you can do is grab a buddy, put your arms in the air, and be sure to enjoy the ride!

So you stayed up until 2am again. And although you planned to spend the night catching up on

homework, you once managed to exercise your unparalleled ability to procrastinate. Luckily it‘s

a Saturday, so there‘s no need to wake up early the next day – but you do anyways, at 8:55am!

You are awoken by your floor mates,

who are running and scrambling in the

hallway, who almost seem to be in a

state of panic. But your fury of having

been awoken abruptly at an unearthly

hour quickly dissipates upon realizing

what the racket is all about. It‘s TFL.

You graciously jump out of bed, throw

on your house t-shirt, and run to catch

up with the rest of your team. On your

way out you can‘t help but notice that

it‘s raining. Hard. But this does not

break your spirits, rather the opposite.

In a way, the prospect of playing TFL in

the rain makes the experience that

much more epic. Upon arriving at the

field, you notice that it is virtually en-

tirely mud, and the parts that are still

green are so slippery that even running straight in a line becomes difficult. Not to worry, the

challenging terrain is embraced with open arms. The whistle blows, the ball is in the air, bodies

move swiftly in concentrated bursts.

Despite occasionally having to play on little rest and through dreadful weather conditions,

nothing can weaken the desire to get your flag football on. This is the opportunity to represent

not only your floor but the respective community that you‘ve established. An unparalleled

sense of pride flows through your veins, as previous differences among your peers become insig-

nificant in comparison with the commonalities you now share. Through the discomfort of the

cold and through friendly competition, friendships are formed and solidified with every play.

You are not guaranteed victory when you step on the TFL field, but you are assured a couple of

things:

1) You will get muddy

2) You will get wet.

3) You will get more into football than you ever been.

4) You will have an extraordinary time.

To enhance one‘s ice cream consumption experience, I would strongly advise the partici-

pant to use a large spoon (to maximize ice cream capture per spoonful taken). It is also recom-

mended that the activity be performed at one‘s own leisure, in order to reduce the likelihood

of rushing the experience. Supportive friends are a suggested complement when attempting

such a feat, but if one is unable to acquire supportive friends, then it is advised that ice cream

consumption occurs alone, away from the prying and judgemental eyes of an unenlightened

society.

A Tongue in Cheek Examination of Ice Cream Consumption

For years, I have worked to cultivate a refined palate. These years have been ones of trial

and error and an inexhaustible quest for satiation. I have dreamed of the day when I would

have my own eager, young disciples that would clamour for my attention and listen intently as

I waxed poetic on my latest findings. And for which savoury and sweet, delectable treat have I

spent many a year passionately exploring?

Ice-cream. La crème glacée . The ultimate in indulgences, best served at all meals, on all

occasions for all ages.

I must first express my sincerest apologies: The art of ice-cream consumption is highly

complex and multi-dimensional, and the culture which surrounds it is often filled with confus-

ing jargon and nonsensical superlatives. Ice cream eating experts pride themselves on this

elite world of frozen dairy products, and it is often accused of being an exclusive and over-

privileged enclave of dairy snobs. I shall do my best to dispel the rumours and present my

findings in simple language.

With my tiring research, a thesis has blossomed, and I am most eager to share. My thesis is as

follows: If you're looking to consume ice cream by the pint in a single sitting, choose among

these flavours.

Cookies and Cream: Creamy, full-body

flavour with a hint of Oreo. Easy to han-

dle and lacking in large Oreo chunks. Pre-

sents no choking hazard.

Cookie Dough: A sweet melody of aro-

matic cookie dough paired with tangy

cream. Potential choking hazard with the

cookie dough ball.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup: It is a

titillating and daring combination

of the modern day chocolate bar

and ice cream. Not ideal for those

with peanut allergies as consump-

tion may lead to possible death.

Death by Chocolate: This is a must

-try for any chocolate connoisseur.

This provocative flavour is a bit-

tersweet bouquet of rich, dark

chocolate.

Vanilla: A reliable classic, like your

grandmother‘s cardigan. This timeless

flavour is pleasantly delicate and subtle

in nature. Consuming a pint of vanilla is

also a guilt-free experience.

Fat-free, dairy-free and sugar-free

ice creams are to be avoided at all

costs.

I don‘t know about you, but I started thinking about my career path when I was six years

old, teaching my classroom full of dolls. Though my vocational aspirations have changed since

then, my future career has been ever-present in my thoughts for quite some time. As such, as

the career and graduate schools fair came into the Student Union Building, my anxieties have

been increased as I get closer and closer to my graduation date. Even if you are in first year,

you could be planning or thinking about the point of your studies, especially once you move

closer to choosing your department or major in the coming while.

As a result of my anxieties that I am sure are shared by many, I have made a list of sug-

gestions that you should take to reduce your anxiety and find out what you want to do when

you leave this place.

Do your research

Find out what UBC and your faculty have to offer. You will only find out about interest-

ing courses, majors, departments and opportunities if you look for them. I learnt long ago that

the amazing opportunities are those that you need to seek out, so search for them! Whether

this means going to speak to an academic advisor, a department head or those people that

come to career fairs to present, you will learn much more and get more in-depth information if

you seek it out.

Looking through the courses that UBC has to offer helped me to decide what my academ-

ic interests were. Look through as many courses as possible and see what excites you. Further-

more, research what opportunities your studies can provide you and what it will lead you to in

the future. Some programs are very limited in what they can provide to you, so take that into

account!

How to plan for your life after UBC

By Jenna Omassi

Find what you enjoy

If you search through the registration section of SSC, there will obviously be some courses

that appeal to you right away, whereas there will be others that you will not be as inclined to

take. This jerk reaction should provide you with a beginning to your search for what you truly

enjoy. We are so lucky to be going to a university that offers so many programs, so take ad-

vantage of it!

Also, let your first few years be a time of experimentation with classes, and take classes

that you find interesting. Speak to professors in the field that you are hoping to study to ask

them for recommendations for classes that you may enjoy, as they probably know you better.

Plan ahead to reduce stress

Start to think about your major and future studies/plans now! Even if you are not yet

sure, make sure to enroll in prerequisites for your possible future studies. The most difficult

outcome is to realize when you have to declare a major that you haven‘t taken the prerequisites

for or worked hard enough to get into. This will reduce your stress in the future and will also

help to quell any worries you have about your academic path. Remember: Any studies are good

studies!

Be independent

Remember that class you loved and all your friends hated? Don‘t let others stop you from

taking courses like that. You are the one who will have to be there and be engaged, not them.

Make sure you are studying something you are interested in or that leads you to your goal. This

doesn‘t mean that you will love every class on the way, but as long as you are heading in the

right direction and see the classes you are taking as leading you there, you should be fine! You

will also be more successful if you enjoy what you are doing.

In sum, follow your interests and start planning now for the future. It does not matter if

your plans change completely, as that happens to so many people! The most important thing is

that you realize that this is a time of exploration in your life and that you exploit it to the full-

est.

There are a variety of fantastic restaurants in the Kitsilano area that can accommodate your

birthday occasions, appease your parents when they visit, and quench your desire for food

that isn‘t from the Totem Dining Hall. I‘ve lived in the Vancouver area my entire life, so I

may be biased in saying that this city is top-notch when it comes to the variety of ethnic cui-

sines available. That‘s a benefit of living in one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

Here is a list I've created of places I‘ve actually been to. I promise it's not compiled from the

depths of Vancouver foodie blogs. I eat out a lot—like a lot, a lot. I should also note that none

of these food establishments have paid me for this plug.

Connie‘s Cookhouse (Take the 4 and get off at Arbutus — it‘s right there)

Looks like a hole in the wall, but it‘s tastefully decorated inside. Here is where you‘ll

find the Chinese dishes you know and love and for a good price. I‘ve been there many times

for their $7.25 lunch specials: You get an entrée dish (like Szechuan ginger beef), rice, and a

bowl of wontons. The lemon chicken is excellent, and so is the Mongolian beef! Very vegetari-

an friendly, too.

Nuba (Take the 99 to Macdonald and walk a block)

Beautifully-decorated restaurant with tasty and affordable Lebanese food. Get the

Najib‘s Special ($7.50): It‘s a spiced cauliflower dish served with tahini. I know that does not

sound appetizing, but trust me. Also recommended is the vegan stew over brown rice ($7.50),

and if you‘re feeling like a Rockefeller, the lamb rack ($24).

Burgoo

(Take the 99 to Sasamat and walk less than a block)

This place has a warm place in my heart. It‘s a cozy little restaurant that‘s known for its

delicious soups and sandwiches. I personally love the crab bisque with the gooey cheesy grillers

($16.50 for the pair). The main menu has a variety of different options as well: Their macaroni

and cheese ($13) is to die for and so is their beef bourguignon ($18). Bring your parents here

when they‘re in town. Parents love Burgoo.

Banana Leaf (Take the 99 to Macdonald and walk two blocks)

Always a popular destination for September floor dinners. But in case you‘ve never been,

let me introduce you to this Malaysian restaurant in Kitsilano. I‘m not kidding when I say that

the curry boneless chicken ($15) is one of the best Asian dishes I‘ve ever had in a restaurant.

It‘s made with coconut milk and red curry and served with a bed of stewed potatoes and rice.

The mee goreng ($13) noodle dish is also a very popular menu item and for a good reason. Also,

if you‘re 19+, the lychee mojito is divine.

Bella Roma (Take the 99 to Sasamat. It‘s right there)

If you like Italian food, you‘ll like Bella Roma. They have an authentic brick oven for your

pizza needs and a variety of pasta dishes. My favourites include the chef gnocchi ($16) with al-

fredo sauce and the lobster ravioli ($17). The pizza ($20) was also rated the best in Vancouver. I

like the shrimp pesto the best out of what I‘ve tried. They also deliver to UBC if you don‘t want

to leave the faraway lands of Totem Park.

About one year ago, you must have been scrambling to write what seemed like an endless

number of essays about why you deserve to come to UBC, what you want to study, and what

you hope to accomplish here.

Fast forward one year. You've made it! Not only that, you have survived your first month

of university, and you are in one piece (hopefully). See, that really wasn't so bad!

It is probably not news to you that being a university student is about balance. But some-

times it can seem like your life as a first year is far from balanced. We've all been there. New

school, new classes, new friends, new commitments and responsibilities, and for some, a new

country or a new city. It very well might be your first time living alone. Life can quickly be-

come overwhelming, no doubt.

In whichever way you may be adjusting to your new life, take some time to check in with

yourself. Why did you choose UBC? Why did you choose to live in residence? What experiences

brought you here? Who have you met this month whose company you appreciate? There really

is no other time in your life where you will live, work, and play in a community this diverse, in

all senses of the word. This is your opportunity to reach out to experiences that help you grow

and shape the person you will become, so take advantage of it!

On that note, here are some pieces of advice that your RAs, RCs and TPRA council members

wish they knew in first year.

Things I wish I knew in First Year Vita Sackville-Hii

"Try something new. Seriously, go try

something you never thought you'd be do-

ing and you might have fun with it. If not,

oh well, at least you can say you tried."

-Josh (RA Haida)

"It's not about how much time you study,

it's about how much content you learn."

-Tracey (Nootka President)

On Academics

"Grades matter less than

learning."

-Aaron (RA Nootka)

"Never forget where you are and how lucky you

are to be here. University is not meant to be an

easy time in your life, but that doesn't make

you less blessed to have this opportunity. Take

advantage of your time at UBC, and don't stop

thinking about the people who helped get you

here."

-Caitlin (RA QLXN)

On Involvement

12

"Make sure you have a

healthy relationship

and confidence in

yourself before trying

to forge a serious

relationship with

someone else."

-Evan (RA HMSM)

"It's okay to not want to go to frat parties,

drink, or hook up. Not everyone is doing

those things, and don't feel like you are

doing something wrong if you don't want

to. Find people who respect your

decisions, and have enough confidence in

yourself to not doubt those choices."

-Julia (RA Haida)

"School is more important than studying

and living in a library. Take time to figure

out who you are. Stay up way too late too

often, break some rules, be silly and do

what you love when you want to do it. You

have the rest of your life to be responsible

and grown up, so don't waste your time

here. Do what feels right - and learn to be

comfortable in your own skin."

-Courtney (RC Shuswap)

"Change your mind once. Change your mind twice. Decide you've figured everything

out. And then change your mind once again. Being indecisive is not a fault, and you

shouldn't stress if you're undecided about what you like, who you are, and what you

want to do later on. Now is the time to figure yourself out. So go ahead, do exactly

that. Make no apologies. Challenge your beliefs, your life plan, your likes, your dis-

likes. Make room for the new you."

-Catherine (RA Shuswap)

"Saying hello to people is okay. Sitting down with people you don't know to eat dinner is okay.

If you introduce yourself to someone you don't know, 99.9% of the time you will have at least

a minimal conversation with them, and then you'll have a relationship that can grow from

there. There is an incredible diversity of people at UBC - you never know how someone can

change your life until you let them into it. The connections you make now can last a lifetime,

but you have to make them first."

-Heather (RA HMSM)

This past long weekend, all of us took some much needed time to sleep in, catch up on our

studying, and celebrate Thanksgiving. Many of us know Thanksgiving to be the feast of tur-

key, mashed potatoes, and endless amounts of pumpkin pie. In reality, it was historically

celebrated as a celebration of the harvest. Most of us, unfortunately, forget the struggles as-

sociated with a bountiful harvest. The proof lies within the infinite amounts of produce at

the grocery store. Seldom do I think about the time and effort invested in growing the fruits

and vegetables I‘m buying. So what are we supposed to be thankful for? The answer is dif-

ferent for each individual. You may be thankful for your family, your network of friends, the

experiences you‘ve had, etc. The mountains of work, however, make it easy to forget that we

are more than students. Thanksgiving puts the things we are thankful for in perspective,

reminding us that there is more than just deadlines and percentages in our daily

lives. With that in mind, being grateful is not limited to Thanksgiving. Occasionally, take

some time to reflect on the things that you are thankful for, and embrace them. Have the

occasional Skype call with your parents, hang out with friends, and embrace the idea of giv-

ing thanks.

Healthy Study Snacks

One common issue that students face at university is managing appropriate eating and snack-

ing patterns. With a busy schedule, it can be difficult to fit in time to grab a full meal, but leav-

ing long gaps between meals can leave you feeling low on energy and unable to focus. If this

sounds like you, read on to find tips about how snacking can help you feel and live better! You

can also chat with a nurse every Wednesday from 3-6 pm at the Totem Park commons block.

How much is enough?

This will vary person to person, so listen to your body. I like to stop snacking when I‘m no long-

er hungry but I‘m not yet full.

Will late night snacking make me gain weight?

Eating at any time of the day or night can lead to weight gain. Any excessive food energy

will be stored in your body, which may lead to weight gain.

If you tend to get hungry at night, consider eating dinner later, or check out one of the healthy

snack options below.

How to choose a good snack

A good snack should contain a variety of nutrients. Try to choose 2 items from 2 different

categories below:

Vegetables and fruits: grapes, baby carrots, cucumbers, oranges, bell peppers, or berries

Grains: whole grain crackers, oatmeal, cereal, or toast

Meat and alternatives: hummus, nut butter, bean dip, nuts, or canned fish

Dairy and alternatives: fortified soy milk, low-fat cheese, or yogurt

Snacking on the go

Pack snacks the night before and remember to bring them with you.

A small, leak-proof container and

Ziploc bags can be helpful for carrying

snacks.

When choosing a pre-packaged snack,

go for options that are higher in protein

and fibre. Both of these nutrients will

help keep you fuller for longer.

Hey you. Yeah, you. Have you ever been a part of a conversation about

World War One and been sort of lost? Do you not know who Lenin is? How

about the Ottoman Empire? Does a conversation about the Cold War fill you with dread? Then

this article is for you! Here are 50 snazzy facts about the first 50 years of the twentieth century,

so you can wow your parents with your knowledge and woo some bodacious babes and hand-

some hunks with your intellect. Look out for PART TWO!

1. The first airplane was flown in 1903 by Wilbur and Orville Wright.

2. 1905 – The first Russian Revolution.

3. The Titanic sank on April 14th, 1912.

4. World War I began when the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, was assas-

sinated on June 28th, 1914, by Gavrilo Princip, who was part of a Serbian nationalist group

called the Black Hand.

5. The complicated alliance system that was in place when World War I started led to several

countries getting involved in the war. Russia, France and Great Britain were the Triple En-

tente, and The Triple Alliance was Austria-Hungary, Italy and Germany.

6. The Schlieffen Plan was a military plan devised by Count Alfred von Schlieffen for Germa-

ny to avoid two-front war (fighting France in the west and Russia in the east at the same time).

It failed.

7. The first poison gas attack occurred at the Battle of Ypres by the Germans in 1915.

1915. This was a factor in the USA‘s decision to enter the war in 1917.

9. The 1917 Zimmermann Telegram was a proposal from Germany to Mexico, to join the Tri-

ple Alliance if the USA joined the war. This led to USA declaring war on December 7th, 1917.

10. During the war there is starvation, inflation, and also many uprisings in Russia. This led to

Tsar Nicholas II abdicating and the fall of autocracy. Germany technically wins the war in the

east, through the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

11. This led to the Russian Civil War starting in 1918, fought mainly between the

‗Reds‘ (Bolsheviks) and the ‗Whites‘ (bourgeoisie and others who opposed the Bolsheviks).

12. The Communists came to power, led by Vladimir Lenin, and Russia was renamed the Un-

ion of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the USSR.

13. The war ended in 1918 with the surrender of Germany to the Allied Powers.

14. Germany was forced to sign the harsh Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which required it to pay

reparations to France, leading it to economic destruction. Germany was also forced to reduce its

army to 100,000 men, give the territories of Alsace and Lorraine to France, and sign the War

Guilt Clause, which said the Germans were the reason for the war.

15. The League of Nations was formed in 1920.

16. The Tomb of King Tutankhamen (or ‗King Tut‘) was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922,

starting the craze of ‗Egyptmania.‘

17. Benito Mussolini‘s National Fascist Party came to power in 1922 with Mussolini‘s March on

Rome.

18. Hitler is jailed after the failed ‗Beer Hall Putsch‘ in 1923. In jail, he writes his book, Mein Kampf, which was published in 1925.

19. The first Olympic Winter Games was held in 1924 in France.

20. Lenin dies in 1924, and Joseph Stalin comes to power.

So you want to sound smart when talking about 20th century history…
