Good morning from finals season. In this study vlog, I take you with me through the last stretch of my very last semester of computer science at UBC—when my final is in four days and I genuinely feel like I know nothing. I talk about why I struggled to focus at home (I kept checking Instagram), so I started studying outside instead. I also admit I skipped about 80% of my lectures, which means my plan is… a little chaotic: I’m trying to catch up on around 24 lectures by watching them at 2x speed, then saving a day for practice questions. I’m studying for my software development course, which I think is a relatively easy 400-level class, but it’s also scary because we had no midterm—just two big group projects (including a domain-specific language project) and assignments. I share the way I make a simple study plan (one course per day), plus the mindset shift that helped me survive five years of university: letting go of perfectionism and redefining what a “good grade” means. Finally, you’ll see exam day, my “write as fast as possible” strategy, and my very real confusion about why UBC schedules exams in buildings you can’t even enter after 6pm.
