THE WELDON TIMES

My mind always craved high-impact movement. This made things like cardio circuits, spin class, and Pilates a perfect fit. In these spaces, I was part of something bigger than myself. When I made space for movement, I found community.

Since 1L isn’t intimidating enough, why not add a cross-country move to the mix? Although the first year class represents students from every province, an unexpectedly high proportion hail from British Columbia, including me, a Vancouverite!

When I was eight, university felt impossibly far away. As a kid, just a week felt like a year. But as the weeks turned into months, and months into years, my undergrad came and went in a flash.

Who better to pen a few words on a theme about the past than a dean whose history with this law school dates back to the 1980s? I’m always shocked to learn that fashions from the 80s and 90s are retro. Personally, I can’t imagine returning to padded shoulders and puffy hair. Aside from fashion – a subject on which no one would trust me – but in line with the theme of looking back, readers might be interested to learn more.
