Ever since grade 7 I’ve added more and more student organizations, causes and clubs to my plate. It’s only recently that I’ve realized Being an exec on a gazillion clubs does not really get you anywhere, especially when you’re forced to summarize your entire student life experience in 250 words You may not even like […]

Have you ever read the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears?” Some of my friends have told me that if Goldilocks was real, she’d be in the running for one of the pickiest girls – like why does it take her so long to find a bowl of porridge?! Although this made me laugh, […]

I like to complain (in my head)… about people complaining. Hopefully this blog will be a bit more constructive than just a rant post. 😛 Hearing people complain makes me think how we’re never able to enjoy ourselves doing mundane things. (Yes. We take things for granted. All. The. Freaking. Time.) Why did I start […]

Why hello there! I hope that everyone who has been taking summer school did well on their finals this week. I just finished my Psyc 300A final yesterday night so I apologize for the late blog. Nevertheless, as you’ve probably noticed, these blogs are a chance for you to get to know each exec more […]

Continuing with the topic of fitness from last week’s blog, here is a specifically designed workout just for you dancers out there that will increase your endurance and improve your dancing! Min might be Dance Club’s resident fitness fanatic but I am your resident fitness professional. Just like in a ballroom competition where you compete […]

It’s never too late to get that body you’ve always dreamt of! To quote a great man, [blockquote style=”quote” align=””]“No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is […]

For my blog post, I want to share my experience with dance and how it has become a part of me. I began dancing at the age of 3 and haven’t stopped since. My first classes were ballet and tap and I slowly started adding other styles into the mix: jazz, lyrical, hip hop, stage, […]

WHERE’D MY SUMMER GO? IT’S LIKE THE SUN IS SETTING ON MY SUMMER ALREADY! So far we’ve had the Summer Dance Classes (SDC) and the Trampoline Event which were awesome. SDC was intense for Newcomers like me, who had to learn all the new dances and technique. Some of the techniques even challenged some of […]

So here I am, back home for the summer with a minimal amount of things to do. What better way for a TV and film junkie to spend their days than to consume even more TV and film? (Other than going out and enjoying this beautiful weather, of course, which I have been doing) For […]

First of all, I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend celebrating Canada’s birthday, and for those of you who were in the parade or saw it, I expect to see you at Robson Square this Friday (more on it later in this blog), which brings me to my next point… Social dancing, what does it do […]

Hey dancers! Welcome to my humble ranting about myself. If you don’t know who I am, I’m sure you’ve heard of the name Curtis Li somewhere (or that annoying kid who’s loud and obnoxious in the execs). Have you ever listened to a song that makes you feel something inside of you but can’t really […]

So I’m the first one who gets to blog on our new site AND post a vlog (video + blog), lucky me eh? Forgive the bad quality video and audio, but as you can see, it was made pretty last minute. In case you can’t understand me or can’t hear me (or just can’t stand […]

I was toying around with various ideas before I saw last week’s post. My first reaction when I read it was “who wrote this?” After the first paragraph I thought it was Min because I was expecting the post to be about working out and/or bodybuilding. Once I got through it I realized the whole […]

The weather is finally getting better again! I don’t know about you, but I am already feeling the urge to go to the beach… It is the ultimate way to refuel for those stressful summer school courses, and heck, we live in a harbour city, so we might as well get the most out of […]

We’re into the summer break and students taking summer courses are approaching their midterms. Are you? Well regardless, good luck with your summer classes! I was really racking my brain for topic to write about and I couldn’t really come up with anything; so, let’s expand Jessie’s list from last week! Seeing as this IS […]

Yayyy!! Second personal blog post!  The hardest part was coming up with a topic that won’t make people want to chuck tomatoes at my head later.  Have you ever had that problem when people ask you what you did over the summer and you go: OH CRAP, WHAT DID I DO? I CAN’T REMEMBER ANYMORE […]

Hello UBCDC readers, or anybody really. Woot! Welcome to the second UBCDC blog, and the first personal blog post. So. Much. Pressure. Don’t really know what to blog about, so let’s talk about the weather. That’s always a nice way to start a conversation, or a blog. It looks like the weather is setting the […]
