LMAO all jokes love uofa

Man is anyone else getting crazy final year depression? I mean I was depressed throughout my degree but im actually losing it this fall.

It's just so much pressure. I dont know why I did this degree. I feel like it took so much out of me and im a shell of the person that I was when I started. In these years I've lost so much, my health my sanity, all I had going for me were my grades and im pulling the lowest grades of my entire career this semester. I kinda want to just drop my courses. I feel like a loser for wanting to give up right before the finish line but I honestly dont see anything waiting for me at the end. I see years of wasted time, money and energy and instead of finding myself I lost myself slowly year by year.

I had one thing I thought i could rely on and that was graduating this year and now i just cant do this anymore. Not really sure where to even go for support, my friends graduated last year, my therapist told me I might never love life, doctors claim there nothing wrong with me. Not sure if theres any final year peer support or anything either.

So I messed up my chem midterm which was worth 10% and phy 130 midterm which was worth 20% (knew the stuff but blanked out completely, which lead to choosing random answers).

Now, the coming week is very heavy. I have engg 130 and math 100 midterms along with engl 199 graded assessment 2. And also the second chem midterm on 31.

For those who have been through first yr eng, and for those who have been doing well so far, can you please guide on what yall do to be successful and achieve high grades..?

I feel very worried. Competition is very high. And I have fallen behind already.

Need some tips or advice or anything that you think might help me do better.

I barely passed first two exams phys 130 and chem 103 and studied hard for both of them. I have no idea how to study anymore. I was spamming practice questions and felt good about phys 130 going into the maciejko midterm and then bombed it. What are the best ways to study for all first year eng courses?

What is the competitive avg?

Okay so for a little bit of info I applied to both nursing and bach of psych w a minor in bio sciences and I got accepted for my second choice but havent received an offer yet for nursing. For reference these are the marks i used:
(English 20: 81%, chem 20: 65% bio 20: 85, math 20-1: 80)
my current grade 12 marks as of this week are: (math 30-2: 94%, chem 30: 87%, science 30: 94%, and bio 30: 84% COMPLETED.) if i bump up the chem mark to a 93% and get an 85% in english 30-1 will i have a chance of being accepted? Like realistically 🫩🫩

I felt like the 90% of the questions were different from WH of 5 weeks even though they told it would be similar.

Won't be surprised if my grades get Hilarious.

If anyone needs motivation/validation/.... Go to ccis washrooms

.

I was hoping to study on campus today (Saturday) but most libraries close at 5pm. I know that Cameron’s basement is open 24/7 and sub. But is there any other place I can study like ucomms or just general area, or will I get kicked out?

Anyone know why old midterms for this course are 4 big questions, but the one for this semester is gonna be 20 multiple choice ones?

Does anyone have any advice how to study for this course?

If anyone tutors for soc 225 or has done the class before let me know!

Guys… we are supposed to pee in the toilet, not on the toilet. I hope this helps!

I know this might just come off as a dramatic first-year student post, but I really need a place to say this and hopefully get some tips from students who are further along than me. I'm currently in my first year of a BA in Criminology, a program I worked incredibly hard to get into, and honestly, it's been a dream come true. But now that a month has passed, I feel incredibly stupid. My grades don't seem to reflect the amount of time and effort I'm putting into these courses.

I recently took both my PSYCH 105 and SOC 100 midterms. I scored a 72% in psychology and a 69% in sociology (exam I felt highly prepared for, and felt confident about). I have an exam pretty much every week, and I feel really embarrassed that so many others seem to manage this workload—even in courses far more difficult than mine—and still exceed, while I feel like I can't. My current averages barely meet the GPA I'm supposed to maintain to stay in Criminology (2.7), which worries me greatly. The majority of my classes base my grade completely on exams, and I'm starting to worry it might be the way I study, or that I'm simply unfit to be here. I haven't been in the best place mentally since starting university, but I really don't want to use that as an excuse for how I'm performing academically.

Does anyone have any study methods or tips for courses that are really heavy on memorization? Or just general advice? I would be so grateful for anything at all.

Hellooo

I am a first-year student, and Canada is not my home country.

In my country, tipping does not exist and is even illegal.

I understand tipping in the United States because, in some states, workers may lack a salary without customer tips.

However, every Canadian province mandates a minimum wage.

I find it hard to accept tipping here because most workers are part-time, and I believe they should not rely on customer tips.

If my home were Canada and I held a job there, adding tips would be acceptable.

Yet all my expenses come from my parents in my home country.
Also, I pay a tuition fee of about $42,000 per year.
I really do not want to add tips.

Also, the Canadian tip system seems excessive:
(Original price + tax) × tip (around 15%)

Should I pay tips?

Hey everyone,
I lost my Apple Pencil (USB-C, latest generation, non-Pro version) either in a CCIS L2-200 Lecture room during my physics midterm or somewhere on the walk afterward. It probably fell out of my pouch.
If anyone found a white Apple Pencil with USB C charging (not the old Lightning one and not the Pro model) in or around CCIS today, please DM me. Happy to verify it’s mine and arrange a pickup.
I’ve already reported it to UAPS and will check Science Student Services + Lost & Found on Monday.
Thanks in advance!

Am i going to actually flunked out of engineering. I have no clue how I did this poorly. Any tips? It was worth 20% of my grade.

maybe i’m tired but am i the only one? I find the textbook doesn’t even help with the lab what do i do now/ where are you guys finding resources?

I find myself being sleepy and on the verge of tears, but I cannot have privacy on this campus at all. I tries sleeping at the 2nd floor of Ucomms but some rando came up and sat across me. Like go somewhere else tffff

Anyways tell me where I can sleep in peace. THX. ☺️

Hi! Are there any Chemical Engineering grad students here who know of professors currently accepting MSc students?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or advice😊

my friends and i want to watch a movie together but we don't exactly know where we can go. would we have to book a room? also would be preferable if its open to use later in the day or even towards nighttime :)

Had to leave a good 30 minutes earlier than everyone else because there were barely aby questions on theory...

Getting pretty annoying
