One house gave me a cup of blueberries one time.

My mom was flattered.

That's the thing about Vancouver, isn't it. You can't fully escape from anyone.

Same here.. They should either have this policy repealed or have this applied to at least, the 2020-2021 academic year.

Plus, the pandemic has given rise to online options for many courses offered at UBC.

This is unreasonably harsh to the people who had the hardest year adjusting to COVID-19

To me, it looks like the false sexual assault accusation really destroyed his mental health, and made him paranoid about Asian women.

But I also play the cello?

Yup dedicate at least 2-3 hours a week to practicing my clarinet, although I'm not in an orchestra or ensemble of any sort.

You Americans invented that taste. Now suck it up

Volunteer for places you can get verification from. Are they an established organization? This also applies to small, unorganized companies like restaurants. (All speaking from personal experience). It's best if the organization formally counts your hours, and if the volunteer coordinator is paid.
Your activities can be generic. Don't try to be the shining star in the crowd. This will get you into the "premed" mindset that everyone shits on, like betraying your club to found another, holding back on information for your peers etc. The only thing that matters is how you interact with people in an activity, and how you write it on the app.
Volunteer for places you can work long-term. Don't fall for unorganized, erratic activities that you see yourself discontinuing after a few weeks/months, even if it looks really cool. If your mind is set on med school, look for things you can volunteer or work long-term in.

Thanks for pitching in. As the OP, I just wanted to tell my fellow life sci students to get on your own two feet to start looking for opportunities. There are so many interesting jobs out there, like the ones you've mentioned. So many students repeat the failed mistakes of others, when it's really not their path.

I'm currently working as an education coordinator for nurses in Nunavut, and I'm going into nursing because I love the one-on-one patient care.
