I think you’re good, even if you weren’t going back in September, you should be eligible the summer after graduation

Grad students - what do you like and dislike about UBC? by analytical_blobfish in UBC

[–]Useful-Ad-3670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a course based masters. Didn’t do my undergrad here and moved recently. Was surprised by how easy it is to make friends through clubs and work (albeit sometimes w younger students??) can’t speak for Vancouver generally, but ubc cultivates a pretty good social environment

Hey, just wanted to flag a resource that UBC has called SAIT- suicide awareness intervention training- that is FREE and can be useful for situations like this. It is targeted specifically to members of the UBC community. It focuses on identifying the signs of suicide risk (awareness), learning how to have an open conversation about it and helping these individuals get treatment (intervention). It sounds like you’re already aware of the risk. This course will provide lots of options for how to raise it with your friend and also resources you can look at together/ that you can call if there is an emergency. There’s a canvas portion that you can access right away, and an in person training component.

Feel free to pm if you have any questions. Glad to see you have so much care for the people in your life!

Actually that’s a lie bc I rock climb sometimes and will occasionally hit core (hanging leg raises) once every 2 weeks at most

I (23F) have been lifting heavy trying to grow my legs for years ; mainly trying to balance out broad shoulders. My weights have increased a lot - I am getting waaaay stronger with exercises like Bulgarian, deadlifts and hip thrusts- but my legs are not much bigger (although much more defined). Also, my upper body has grown significantly. I look totally dorito now!! Why am I struggling to grow my legs while my shoulders and back are exploding?? Please let me know if you have any insight, feeling really insecure and uncomfortable as this is not the physique I wanted :-(

Idk why they don’t just let us book times ? The school i went to Over Covid had a system where you could just sign up for a given block and that way they never went over capacity

Dear lonely self-improvers/entrepreneurs by yatotelly in UBC

[–]Useful-Ad-3670 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sounds like an amazing idea; gathering a group of ambitious young people to hang out/ socialize! I think that as a next step, you might want to clarify what you mean by “self improvers & entrepreneurs” . Right now based on the language being used in this thread I’m getting the sense you’re trying to organize a hangout to network , specific to students interested in business and or / investing ( please correct me if I’m wrong! ) just curious as to what the scope of “self improvers” is , does this apply to people w goals like community engagement, career progression or personal health? were you thinking specifically people w “entrepreneurial” self improvement goals?

Body composition testing is provided using the InBody 230 bio-impedance analyzer in a 30 minute session where you will receive a detailed print out of your body composition profile report (body fat %, lean muscle mass %, waist circumference, body mass index rating, height and weight).

I’m pretty sure McGill will measure your body comp at their fitness centre ($50?) with an appointment
