Yes, it’s almost October. Yes, that’s wild because the term started yesterday. And yes, school is starting to get crazy…but…what was I saying? Oh yeah, events! Check these out.
Managing your Budget workshop
Why you should go
If you’ve been treatin’ yo self to a latte 7 times a week, you might want to consider a spending budget.
DETAILS
This handy workshop will introduce you to the available financial resources for students, teach you how to create a student budget, and give you some tips and tricks for smart spending—because being a student is expensive, and it can be hard to know where to start with budgeting your money.

Flow Yoga at the UBC Bookstore
Why you should go
If you’re curious about yoga but don’t want to pay the big bucks, this $5 class is made for you.
DETAILS
Embrace the Vancouver stereotype by stopping by for some yoga between classes. It’ll help you de-stress, it’s great exercise, and it’ll stretch your back out of its permanent hunched-over-a-keyboard posture. Imagine that!

Beckett 18: It all...ah well
Why you should go
You’ll see some great theatre…and get cake and champagne after the performance.
DETAILS
If you’ve never seen a Samuel Beckett play before, or if you’ve never heard of the guy, do yourself a favour and check out this showcase. His plays are curiously absurd and delightful, which is why this is Gerald Vanderwoude’s 18th time directing works by Beckett for UBC Theatre and Film. Plus, there’s cake and champagne after the show, and the proceeds go towards a student scholarship fund!

Graduate & Professional Schools Fair
Why you should go
Get your questions answered about what academic options are available post-undergrad.
DETAILS
We all hate getting asked what our plans are upon graduation…some of us just DON’T KNOW YET, MOM. But, if you’re open to finding out what some options are for further education, drop by this event and chat with one of the over 65 schools that will be there.

Day of the LongBoat
Why you should go
It’s a classic.
DETAILS
If you’ve never witnessed Day of the LongBoat before, get pumped—this signature UBC event takes place at Jericho Beach and features student teams rowing and racing their way to UBC glory. If you missed the September 17th registration deadline, fear not! UBC Rec is making sure this event is as fun to watch as it is to participate in, with tons of games, lots of places to sit, a DJ, emcee, and prizes to be won!
