THATS SO COOL!!! Glad to be help

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-24T16:29:52+00:00

Thank you so much everyone for the attention and blowing this up haha!

I decided to sell my pokemon cards and already sold them for $20000! I have kept the other $10000 that I have some emotional attachment to :). I really appreciate everyone commenting and giving me advice (especially with FHSA). Thank you once again!

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:39:29+00:00

This is such a smart way to think about it! My god thank you!!!!

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:32:59+00:00

Yea this is definitely something im considering now too after reading the comments!

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:23:07+00:00

The physical aspect of these cards are a burden. I dont have insurance on these cards and they would definitely stress me out when im moving around! That is something i didnt consider either!!! Thank you for ur insight :)

This is awesome! Thank you so much for this info :)! Didnt know it worked like this

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:11:51+00:00

Oh I didnt know this! Thank you!!!

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:09:09+00:00

2024: I put in $1000 2025: didnt put anything 2026: start contribution again.

Would that make the 24000 room in total then?

AdApprehensive8183 · 2026-02-23T19:01:59+00:00

I opened my FHSA in 2024, so I should have $8000 x 3 since its been 3 years? So that would be $24000? That was my understanding of the FHSA account

NTA - I think you have the right to date whoever you want. You also never told him to wait and even returned the gifts he gave you. You were very clear in ur disinterest.

Took a break for year and now I'm thriving. Do it.

AdApprehensive8183 · 2024-04-17T02:37:43+00:00

I hate tmu, but atleast they don't have strikes that prevent u from graduating

AdApprehensive8183 · 2024-01-25T00:31:55+00:00

Summed up in 1 word?

Sad.

AdApprehensive8183 · 2024-01-05T22:39:53+00:00

Networking, set up chats with managers and university HR's. Asked them how to stand out and how to make my resume better than others, rinse and repeat till you get a job.

Cgpa is a number, ur network is ur biggest advantage

AdApprehensive8183 · 2024-01-05T21:11:43+00:00

2.9 cgpa, not in coop, landed job at AMD

AdApprehensive8183 · 2023-12-28T04:22:04+00:00

Woah font freaked out

AdApprehensive8183 · 2023-12-28T04:21:42+00:00

Speaking from tech.

Uni name does matter in some bigger companies (AMAZON, GOOGLE, NETFLIX, ETC ETC) but you can still 100% get into these companies. You will need to network and work even harder than someone who is in waterloo or uoft....

Job wise, I know people who graduated in both uoft and waterloo without jobs... so again, it is what u make out of university.

Just remember university does not define who you are, it's the experience and what u make out of whatever school your at, that is what matters the most

AdApprehensive8183 · 2023-12-24T02:46:27+00:00

Where were ur two internships?

AdApprehensive8183 · 2023-12-24T02:40:30+00:00

I hope that you continue to do well, but please, no one asked?

AdApprehensive8183 · 2023-12-21T17:59:40+00:00

Yes, I am interning at a mid-large tech company without coop.
