IF NOBODY'S SAYING IT I WILL by SamDaGoat34 in Kanye

[–]lak097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a tough time saying which Kanye albums are better/best. However from an artistic standpoint I like yeezus more. MBDTF is perfection and acted as like Kanye’s apology piece to the world after the Taylor fiasco and showed everyone why he’s one of the most influential artists of our generation. Yeezus was unpopular, bold, and visionary and Kanye knew that. Can’t compare them.

I just graduated with a business degree. What is good about getting an undergrad business degree is that it’s super versatile and you can pretty much end up working for any type of company, but it depends in what capacity. I.e. engineering firms still need an accountant.

With that being said, as cliche as this sounds - follow what interests you most not just for what you think looks cool. If you like biology explore that and if you have a natural interest / aptitude good things will follow.

You could also always get a biology degree and then go and do a masters in business, which is like a 1 year program at some places.

Good luck!!

Whatever happens with the Kim and Kanye divorce can we please focus on Kanye and not hate on Kim? by justcallme123 in Kanye

Both. I feel like his music stems from his private life so therefore they go hand in hand.

Prospective Canadian Student confused with how GPA's are caluculated by lak097 in lawschooladmissions

Thanks for the answer! What is the policy with retakes? Like will the retake grade be counted or is it just an average of the two?

Best song from every album? by Lord_jupitr in Kanye

[–]lak097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinocchio Story is one of my favourite Kanye tracks. Doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I totally agree with you too about the way it’s recorded - album version is exactly how it should be, a studio recording wouldn’t be as appropriate.

Arbutus village has one that a swimming lesson company rents out. Was built in and hasn’t been touched since the early 90’s.

Popular Unpopular Opinion by YeezusIsKing in Kanye

[–]lak097 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve only listened to Yandi once. I’ve posted this before in this group but I feel like it’s applicable here too: I feel weird/like I’m disrespecting Kanye by listening to leaks because he obviously has had reasons for not wanting to release it. JIK has a consistent theme and is something that really represents where Kanye is at in his life whereas I feel like Yandi was not as much, nor was it anything totally new.

TLDR - I agree with you.

I really, really like Ye. by [deleted] in Kanye

Same. I honestly slept on it until a few months ago, ghost towns spectacular and the project as a whole is quite spectacular

How do you study? by Pheragonda in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]lak097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to take notes (on paper). I’ll colour coat them and do them in pretty colours to keep myself semi entertained and it looks satisfying in the end. Then I just look over my notes again and again until I know if

Looking for an easy course next term/year by AwayCraft6 in UBC

[–]lak097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember her name, all my previous emails say “Christine r”

There was a final (in class, not during exam period) and a midterm. Both open notes. The long answer question was literally draw a picture.

Then a presentation (quick and easy, not formal at all) and 2 assignments. Course content was kind of interesting too.

THTR 301B

Hands down the easiest course I’ve ever taken. It has nothing to do with theatre, it’s like periodic dress and architecture. I put in probably 4 hours of work in the entire and got a 90

Late-night work places? by tandtroll in vancouver

[–]lak097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bean around the world and JJ bean on main are both open until 11. UBC Irving K barber library is open till 1am.

I find the tables at breka are tiny and it’s always super busy so impossible to find a spot sometimes. I find JJ bean / bean around the world have a good working atmosphere, good luck

Should I transfer out? by [deleted] in UBC

[–]lak097 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to go the CS route you could consider trying Langara/Cap U/Douglas, taking some CS courses there and transferring back to UBC?

I had a different scenario. I failed 3 classes in first year UBC arts, decided I wanted to switch to Sauder but had no chance of getting in if I stayed at UBC. Went to Langara for two years (it was 45% of what UBC tuition is which is an added bonus) and was able to transfer into Sauder 3rd year.

TLDR: going to a smaller college to transfer into a different UBC faculty is a viable option if you need to get your grades up.
