You\u2019ve got a big day ahead of you, and we have the tips to get you through it. Here are 11 tips for UBC orientation.<\/p>\n
First thing’s first: in the couple weeks before Imagine Day, you will receive an email detailing which group you\u2019ve been assigned to and where to meet. Make a point of writing the group name and number down somewhere (phone, paper, hand) and finding where exactly you are supposed to meet the next morning. If you don\u2019t have data, make sure to save a map beforehand. This will save you a little time and a lot of frustration in the morning.<\/p>\n
Better to show up slightly early and relaxed, than halfway through orientation and frazzled. Actually, this one might be a good tip for life in general.<\/p>\n

Chances are, one of your neighbors\/someone on your floor\/in your building\/in the dining hall is in the exact same group as you for Imagine Day. Find them and don\u2019t let them go.<\/p>\n
Or you and said buddy will make it to your destination soaked head to toe, because it didn\u2019t look like it was going to rain, but surprise, it did. Welcome to Vancouver; glad you could make it.<\/p>\n
Lunch is provided during imagine day, but if you\u2019re one of the many people who suffer from hangry syndrome when they haven\u2019t eaten every two hours, this is a lifesaver.<\/p>\n

The students in your group are all in your major. Talk to them! You\u2019ll probably see them in class this week. Make nice.<\/p>\n
This is just a small sampling of the people you\u2019re going to meet during your time at UBC. Don\u2019t sweat it if you\u2019re nervous or just not hitting it off; there will be plenty more people to meet come class time.<\/p>\n
NOM. But make sure if you have dietary restrictions to let your advisor know, or simply bring your own alternative.<\/p>\n
If you get separated from your group halfway though the day, don\u2019t worry. If you cant find your group, ask one of the Imagine Day volunteers, and maybe tag along with another group. It’s just another chance to meet new people.<\/p>\n
If you see something you think looks cool, put your name down. It can\u2019t hurt to try something new!<\/p>\n
Yes, you\u2019re standing in the place where the Whitecaps practice. Yes, the Canucks have played here too. Yes, if you\u2019re new to Canada, you might not know what any of that means; you will learn. And yes, this is awesome. Don\u2019t forget to stop and take a second and remember you\u2019re starting the next chapter of your life. You can make it whatever you want it to be. After all, Tuum Est.<\/p>\n
