Run/walk to Pacific Spirit
If you have never been to Pacific Spirit you must check it out! UBC’s very own forest is an incredible place to go when you’re feeling stressed, so join us at the ESC at 10am on Friday, November 26th. This will happen rain or shine, so prepare to get a little muddy!
Pet ‘therapy’
When I’m stressed, I scoop up my cat and bury my face in her. It never fails to make me feel better! For all you poor souls who don’t have a pet, come to the ESC on Friday from 2 to 3:30pm to get some puppy play time!
Futsal
It’s the best parts of soccer in a snack sized package! Join us at the SRC at 6pm on Friday, November 26th for a friendly tournament
Games night online
It’s time to close out the week with a chill games night. Reconnect with the friends you met throughout the week and relax! This will take place online at 7:30pm on Friday, November 26th
Past

Boxing session
Ever get so frustrated at a midterm you wish you could just smack it to pieces? Bring your old midterms (or just your pumped-up self) to the ESC at 12pm on Tuesday the 23rd for a boxing session!
Fuel your brain
Junk food is amazing. It’s cheap, convenient, and filling. What’s not amazing is how you feel afterwards… So come to the ESC at 1pm on November 23rd (right after boxing!) to learn how healthy eating can be cheap and easy, too! Plus, stock up on healthy snacks for midterm season!
Stay tuned
We are working hard to confirm more events, so check back here for updates!
