About Ya Homie Hera
Long story short, I forgot about the blog posts that we are required to do. I know what you’re thinking, “How can you forget? We have literally talked about these all year!” I am a forgetful person and was busy enough with classes and sports that this blew right by me. But hey, I can still get credit for this semester so lets go. I’m in my first year here at UBC going into a bBachelor of Arts degree while playing varsity rugby. The main reason why I took Arts…read more
Let’s call it a little intro :)
There are many things that can be said in a personal introduction, I mean we’ve all written some sort of “about me” paragraph or two on social media. And I can tell you my story, my interests, favourite movie or a pet’s name, but that’s what conversations are for, right? So I would say there is just one important thing to know about me before getting to know me: Although I tend to be sarcastic, cynical at times, and in general I am a fairly private person I might seem too serious…read more
Who is this?
My name is Helen and I’m from Toronto: home of the CN Tower, Drake, and the hockey-team-that-must-not-be-named. Although I do quite miss the skyscrapers and traffic, Vancouver has been nothing but kind to me thusfar, so I’m pretty stoked to be here, especially with a group of bright-minded kids like yourselves and a stack of old […]
Introduction
Hi, my name is Allison and I’m from Richmond, British Columbia. The literature and writing components are what first appealed to me about Arts One, as well as the theme this year of Seeing and Knowing. I am excited to explore the theme and try to interpret the texts in different ways, relating them to each […]

Introductions
Hey, My name is Grayson Rudzki and I’m from Victoria BC. If one were to try and sum me up with an illiterate-esque string of words it would go something like this: “Lifeguard, Arctic Monkeys, Swim Instructor, soccer player, Canuck fan, Breaking Bad expert, self proclaimed introvert.” UBC has been an exciting experience so far […]

About Me
A long time ago, in the summer of 1997, a boy named Bruno, soon to be nicknamed Charal, was born in a somewhat far away country called Mexico. You might have heard of it; they make nice tacos. From the very moment he was born he knew he was going to become a filmmaker, and […]

Introduction
Hello, fellow scholars! My name is Elliott Cheung, and I am a member of Prof. Christina Hendricks’ seminar for Stream B, Seeing and Knowing. I am originally from Richmond, British Columbia (which, FYI, is just south over the bridge), and a graduate of Richmond Christian Secondary School, where my grad class was just over 65 people. As a high schooler, I was most interested by subjects like English Literature and History, and so Arts One seemed to be the perfect fit for me. My favourite poets are probably John Donne…read more
