Stress?? Make more friends or communities? Have you attended any Club at UWB?
Dear International Students,
If it is your first quarter, Do you think that you might have only a few friends?
Even if it is not your first quarter, you can still get a lot of stress from school work. Yes, we understand that. However, you can cope by your hobbies, and make new friends through new community.
Check out the clubs site at www.uwb.edu/sea/clubs, or ask question to uwbclubs@uw.edu
If you aren't sure what clubs you want to join, you can consider finding people that are from your culture and be part of a new community here at UWB. For example, CSA(Chinese Student Association), FASASA (Filipino American Student Association sa), JSA (Japanese Student Association), KSA (Korean Student Association), VSA (Vietnamese Student Association), etc. Besides fulfilling your cultural aspects, there are other clubs that might fit your hobbies and other interests.
Do you like to listen to music? Check out International Pop Music Club.
Interested in sports? We have clubs such as Volleyball, Soccer, and Tennis !!
What are you waiting for? Are you still could not find any club that you are interested in? It's okay, you can create one! Check out www.uwb.edu/sea/clubs/start
So What's Up in The USA this Month? ... It's BLACK FRIDAY!!
What is THANKSGIVING day???
What do you think when you heard the word, roast turkey and pumpkin pie with walnut crust? Yes! It’s Thanksgiving Day!! Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and United States. It is going to be the 24th of November this year :)
We celebrate Thanksgiving because we want to give "thanks" for the blessing of the preceding year. We usually celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States and on the second Monday in October in Canada.
When we have Thanksgiving Day usually we will have dinner together with our family and friends. Don’t forget to eat the perfect roast turkey and the pumpkin pie with walnut crust! Yummy!
Should I go Shopping on Black Friday?
Black Friday is coming!! :) It will be the 25th of November!
Discounted items on Black Friday range from clothing to furniture, but electronic devices such as TV are the most drastically discounted. During the long weekend, treat yourself a trip to Oregon, it is a 3 hours drive down to South from Washington state. The best part about Oregon? Tax free! Shopping in Portland on Black Friday would save you some extra cash.
Being here for 2 years, I notice that it is true that prices of electronic devices are drastically reduced, but items such as clothing and furniture, not as much. However, the annual sales in December, prices of clothing and furniture are reduced up to as much as 80%, which is a lot more than a 30% on Black Friday.
