Aabroo Kaur Fav BHSc Memory: see below Every day in September of second year, we sat outside on the grass at midnight after our nightly evacuation following our student house’s carbon monoxide alarm going off, the sole illumination emanating from a dying iPhone as we played Burning Fire by Sean Kingston into the abyss. Moral of the story: no matter how challenging the adversity is (or chemically toxic), you can get through it with good people + good vibes :) s/o to amy, erin, han, kat, sanya & all of BHSC for an absolutely elite time. 11/10 would recommend.

Thank you for showing me that I am not fit for a career in fencing. Thank you for proving to me that you can get away with stuffing a Timbit into a donut and only paying for the donut at Cafe One. Thank you for joining me in experiencing the horror of having to correct multiple misspellings of dupilumad.

I’ve learned, grown, been inspired, identified my passions and fostered lifelong relationships. It has been a pleasure to suffer through course content with you all, the sleepless night, the landmarks, the achievements...wow! I’ve learned two things: 1. Never get too high; never get too low. Know who you are but always be aware of who you can be! 2. Keep dream-chasing, protect the vision and wake up every day ready to work! That being said, keep learning, keep growing, keep striving…See you in a decade!

I’ll fondly remember late nights studying in the anatomy lab, continuously trying to find a MDCL study room, and group meetings in HSL! I’ll miss you all, and good luck with everything!!

Catherine Fei Post-BHSc Plans: >5 hr sleep / night First, a huge shoutout to my neon green jacket for being by my side (or on me?) for the past 4 years. Jokes aside, a sincere thank you to everyone for being a part of my undergrad, whether you are a friend, classmate, professor, staff, or just a friendly stranger reading this in the future. I wonder if it's a future I will feel proud of. But despite all my four years' struggles and failures, my past self would probably still have given myself a pat on the back. And I would do the same for you. Take care, friends!
