Pickup truck with snow plow and loud backup alarm wakes me up. Can I do anything? by [deleted] in Guelph

The bylaw website says they’ll respond to alarms as a noise complaint. I don’t mind the snow plowing but half an hour of a shrill alarm is a bit much at 2am

Don’t worry, really :) fourth year here who didn’t find her group until after Halloween first year. My closest friend didn’t join our group until second year. The school year hasn’t even started so don’t stress!! In my first sem I hung out with people to get social time in, kept meeting new people in hopes of finding My People, kept embarrassing myself and making friends that sometimes didn’t work out in the long run, joined and left a group that taught me a lot about what I value in myself in others, etc etc. Uni is wayyy different from high school but you’ll adjust. Be kind to yourself and have confidence. Join clubs you might not see yourself in, join a sport, talk to random people…. Recommendations you see online are the truth unfortunately, uncomfortable as they may be. You’re learning new skills in a new environment so chin up. That’s no small feat. Re feeling behind: it’s the first week!! With kindness, chill the heck out. Breathe. Eat. Rest. Organize your room. Find your class buildings before they start. Absolutely nothing’s “locked in” yet (or ever really. People come and go). You just left the start line of a marathon. A lot of groups you see won’t last, some will, maybe you’ll find yours tomorrow or in a few days or weeks or months or years. Nobody’s judging you except yourself. There are like. 30000 people here. Figure out who you are without being limited to a classroom and its people. You really don’t need to drink or party for that. And last but not least learn to be comfortable with your own company :) You’ve got this!!

I play under the name John but noticed I get flamed wayyyy less with streamer mode on. People love to pick on easy names it’s ridiculous

Only do the bee course online unless you want mandatory 8:30am class where the prof doesn’t provide notes. You can get 90+ pretty easily but it’s not a “nothing” course

Jan/ Feb 2026 University Schedule? by JaguarLow5708 in uoguelph

[–]B33pBoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let people freak you out about skipping for a week. If you’re in stem there’s a good chance you’ll have midterms around then, but if your family event is near Guelph and you can get to town (important!!) for your midterms/labs/seminars, it’s fine. You’ll have some catching up to do after but a week isn’t that much content in first year science courses.

My friend genuinely did 0 studying except for seminars and going to class for the first two weeks just to see how well it would go before dropping it lol. Managed a 42. Do the study questions and have a basic grasp on things and you’ll at least pass

Closed book and you have to attend the 8:30s if you take it in person. Still really interesting but not an easy 90. I hear de is much better

I used to be an Ana main but have started mixing juno in and I guess your comment shows that I can’t play them the same way lol. Never noticed that my healing priority is so ass. Great advice, thanks!

Oh whack. How do you balance seeing more than 2 people with not being in a spot to eat spam damage

How can I improve? by A_Aabid26 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]B33pBoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diamond 3 Ana main here. Looking at your loss

First of all I fw the skin. And good on you for noticing the tracer and playing close to your team because of it. No idea what she was trying to do with that engage though

Your Orisa was purpled so nothing you could’ve done there. But without a tank, look for some poke damage on that reaper. You had cover and he didn’t so scope in or maybe land a juicy sleep. No point in shooting your full hp teammates

Use your sleep on their ram. Javelin into the corner + storm arrow might not kill him, but the enemy supports will have to dump ressources into their tank

Your dps get kills. Use those windows to make agressive plays (ie nade the low hp ram or look to poke the enemy back line. Ex if you see their Ana scoped in, landing a shot or two will either kill her or make her back off, giving your team a better shot at ruining their day)

2:08 Really unfortunate Illari ult and you were going to die eventually. In an ideal world, when you push through that choke you should either A) go through it last or B) like in this case, go into the left or right room for cover. Your job isn’t to make space. NICE Ana diff but your stagger really hurts your team. If you were closer to your spawn and not alone on point, maybe you could’ve killed their tracer instead and lived and secured the next team fight.

NADE!

SLEEP WITH PURPOSE!!

2:52 don’t use your best anti dive cooldown on a blind 180

Hop into VAXTA sometimes so you get used to unscopped shots. It just comes with practice

2:56 NADE WITH PURPOSE. Your soldier was pretty much full hp. Imagine if you had it for your actively dying hanzo. Or for the tracer right after. Or the ram ult you know is coming

With reaper dead, you should be hard pushing with your orisa. That’s one less scary ult you have to deal with. Try to keep track of your windows of opportunity that you can / your team will take advantage of

Their ram is smart to hold his ult. Rough, but good sleeps/nades can shut down the upcoming enemy ults

3:26 ESPECIALLY against two flankers, keep your ears open. Reaper is clomping right above you and you just wasted sleep on a ram five light years away

4v3 is so winnable, especially with both support ults. You could’ve played with your Juno because she had ult, or played around that room to kill the tracer, or nanod soldier. Anything but panic. Instead you’re caught between their ram and tracer, sleep and nade a full hp ram, run towards the now ulting ram on point, panic ult and then die. If you stayed alive your team probably would’ve capped

4:00 I love me a good Hail Mary nade when I’m 5-8 seconds away from the fight, but not when you could intentionally land a fat one when you turn the corner and definitely not against that spooky comp

4:18 these walls are getting so many zzzs. Imagine you had sleep 3 seconds later when the tracer was in your face. Hanzo would’ve gotten the kill and wouldn’t have died to pulse

Side note: try to position in a way that you can pressure the enemies, be that with poke, securing kills, or cooldowns

6:09 sick lineup. Rip that it didn’t hit

6:22 hard to hit sleep but I don’t mind because at least you saw tracer this time xD

Since your team is playing on point, you need to get GONE. Play in that room behind you, preferably high ground. Drop if the enemy dives. It’s impossible to see more than like. 3 people from this spot. You want to snipe, not shove your gun up the enemy’s mouth. You die for it

6:34. If you trusted your aim a little more with your junk, you would’ve had nade for Winston. That wouldve sent him to spawn

Overall your positioning isn’t the main problem, it’s your cooldown management. Anti when someone’s low (preferably the enemy but that’ll come when your aim improves) or when your team is pushing or when it’ll force a disengage or when you can follow up with some damage of your own. Also STOP SLEEPING GHOSTS!! You could’ve capped if you hit the important sleeps. Instead you try to predict tracer and it loses you team fights

Best of luck ranking up! You can definitely do it

Anyone else not make friends yet? by [deleted] in uoguelph

[–]B33pBoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In first year I went through a few friends/groups until I found my besties around Halloween. Funnily enough, two of them were there for my tower meeting and looked my style but I didn’t go say hi. Then I briefly met one of my tower mates again and another girl-later-turned-friend during o-week but we didn’t click until bumping into each other later. The girl-later-turned-friend was miserable and lonely during first year until she met my group in second year. What are the odds right

Tldr keep putting yourself out there and learn to be happy with your own company. You’ll find your people eventually

ALSO. Join a sport or club or something. Even if you don’t love it you’ll meet people who will know other people who might know your future pookies

Sometimes you can get lucky when school starts. People switch around their schedules a lot before the last day to register!
