“Mosquitoes serve literally no ecological purpose other than to make my life miserable,” said Lin-Mode in an interview, itching furiously. “The data is clear.”

Here I am with one semester left of my undergrad and I’ve taken some time to recognize why I’m just so chipper to have this extra time at UBC.

Summer so far has been interesting — it hasn't looked like summer. First we didn't have much sun (but we had a heck of a lot of rain) and now it's just heat central. Can we embrace Hot Girl Summer in Vancouver if the weather hates us?

Like the simps reading this article, I have attempted to get through the emotional limbo of being friends with your ex. But, I needed to see what you thought, so I went out into the wild seeking answers.

Hot weather is no joke as prolonged exposure can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke — the symptoms of which range from mild to severe and include extreme thirst, high body temperature, dizziness, lack of coordination, rash, cramps and rapid heart rate.

For the first time in my life, I was told that I was “the quietest person” in the room. I’ve never been told this before because I am very loud — so loud that I am usually referred to as loud and annoying, even if I’m shy in a new setting. I guess I just have an ear-splitting voice.

The 'We need an American Girl Doll' meme has taken the internet by storm. We've seen dolls that drink La Croix and that were on the Mayflower, but what about a doll that goes to UBC?

It’s been four years and I can’t stop thinking about you. What did I do wrong? You used to be excited to get an email from me, back when you were young and in high school. “UBC emailed me!” You’d frantically yell to your friends, and they were excited for us.

The unspeakable has happened. In an ill-fated Facebook post earlier this week, UBC Confessions announced that it would officially be closing its doors and ending this chapter in the university’s history.
