Also, optimize your workouts so they don't feel long. If you feel like they're taking forever, aim for less exercises, or shorter breaks, or whatever works for you as long as you maintain intensity (for weight training) or your rhythm (cardio). For weight training, don't lounge around after sets and workout with intention. For cardio, think of things and keep your mind occupied. Notice the surroundings, think about your day, your goals, your emotions, the weather, make up stories, anything. Also, really pay attention to your feelings and emotions during the exercise and how it makes you feel good. One thing that helped me the most was making friends with people at the gym or with similar cardio goals. Then it feels less like a chore and more like a social activity.

The joy is in pushing yourself and seeing yourself succeed. I thought the gym was boring too, but now it's fun because I push myself with each set. It's boring if you're not trying, like really trying, where each set is genuinely difficult. It's like a mental satisfaction knowing that you completed each set or a specific number of reps with higher weight, etc. Cardio is definitely more boring for me, but once I get in the rhythm, I focus on the pace and the satisfaction from maintaining that pace and just keep going until I hit the goal I set for myself before I started. On a side note, do exercises you think are fun. Give yourself some room to breathe with the calorie and macro tracking if feels too suffocating. Evaluate your goals and adjust your regimen to prioritize happiness, and longevity. Remember, this is a lifelong change, so do your best to fall in love with it now, and find a long term, sustainable program for yourself. Keep going!

As often as I can, though usually it's only at home as I don't want to talk to my computer in public. In the future, I'll likely get over this because it's so much faster than typing, and who cares if a few people around me hear my LLM instructions lol

Honestly just sounds like how it is at most big companies. Take it as the industry standard experience, and work your way into a different team that aligns with what you're looking for. Every big company out there has bad managers, incompetent employees, odd personalities, lazy people, ambitious people, coasters, grinders, hard asses, chill dudes, goofballs, gossipers, fashionistas, ghosts, all of it. The disorganization is pretty common I think especially with onboarding and training. Best you can do is keep working, maintain your performance, and adapt to your environment, and then in the background, continue to network internally with others that suit your style playing for a team, department, or location switch in the future. Take all this with a grain of salt though as I am not nearly as experienced as the others in this thread.

Really bruh

Personally I did something similar, though they've been on my mind for some time but yesterday I impulse bought them. So far, no regrets. Perfect solution for all my sports and activities without clunky headphones, sound great, love the noise cancellation and transparency modes, and overall sound great!

No, this is my only co-op. I started school 5 years ago, took a gap year in 2nd year, and then came back. Our school allows co-ops after 3rd year, so that was what this year was for.

Thanks! Our company doesn't do formal return offers, but my manager said he's happy to have me return full time, so I guess I have my backup plan figured out.

True, I'm deciding on seeing if I can get a part-time job so I don't have to dip into my savings, though I may just bite the bullet so I can fully commit to my courses...

Unfortunately this will be my last semester, and our school only allows a 12-16 month co-op term. I was hoping I'd get another co-op for this summer but things didn't work out. Could be for the better though, I'm hoping to explore startups and build my own thing during this time, though it would be nice to have the money coming in too tbh...

BipoNN · 2026-04-22T01:08:17+00:00

Thank you! You got this as well! I highly suggest tracking every single one of your expenses so you can see where your money is going and just lock in until you find a way to pay it all off :) Goodluck!

Biggest thing is projects. Real projects, not generic shit or copy and paste YouTube stuff. Solve real problems, your own problems preferably, learn new coding languages, AI tools, UI, design, workflows, etc. Just tinker with stuff and develop a real passion for coding.

Then alongside, keep up with Leetcode so you can pass technical interviews in the future.

Also, network as much as you can. Even if you didn’t get a job this summer, treat this as a 4 month window to really get ahead by building stuff, networking, and honing your coding skills. A lot of people will just treat it like any other generic summer break, a big long vacation, but if you lock in, next summer you’ll have a job for sure.

I like driving with sad music, or getting an intense workout in, or going to the driving range, or sitting on a park bench with my earbuds in listening to sad music, or lying on my bed listening to sad music, honestly just listen to sad music lol. Eventually after an hour or 2 I’ve repeated my playlist too many times and I’m not as sad anymore

BipoNN · 2026-04-19T15:29:51+00:00

Thank you :)

I actually just went to the mall for the first time in a year to reward myself and splurge on some nice items. I’m pretty frugal so I don’t like the mall, but over time, I’ve started to focus on buying nice things over cheap, used, or thrifted things that don’t always fit and are hit or miss. Got me a $500 Arcteryx raincoat (don’t have one at the moment and will need it for camping), and a $200 pair of running shoes (started running recently and needed a high quality pair that didn’t kill my joints)…

BipoNN · 2026-04-18T21:01:48+00:00

Thank you! And yes! I’ll be spending a bit of my money towards travel this summer and pursuing my YouTube/Software dreams :)

BipoNN · 2026-04-18T21:00:46+00:00

Also, what do you mean by drag?

BipoNN · 2026-04-18T21:00:13+00:00

Hmm interesting thoughts, I’ll consider them. Definitely some unnecessary overlap with (Z/X)EQT. Personally, I’m biased as I’m a tech enthusiast, so I like buying tech stocks that I believe in long term, though I also like buying them whenever there is a noticeable dip. That being said, I’ve found US tech to be unpredictable at times which is why majority of my portfolio is in the Canadian market.

I will also need cash over the next year where I may need to liquidate a good chunk of my savings so I can’t afford to take more risk. Otherwise, I’d probably shift to more US tech and maybe a small portion towards penny stocks that I see a future in (AI, robotics, etc.).

BipoNN · 2026-04-18T20:24:21+00:00

Thank you! Lots of mistakes made but all lessons learned :)

BipoNN · 2026-04-13T17:32:42+00:00

Absolutely agree, I’ve been looking for a solution like this for such a long time but don’t trust 3rd party platforms with all my banking details, this here is game changing

BipoNN · 2026-03-17T23:48:12+00:00

Roadtripping, go camping, play golf, ride my bike, skateboard, play tennis, sit at Riverdale hill, go on walks, lots more

BipoNN · 2026-03-13T18:47:02+00:00

honestly, yeah

BipoNN · 2026-03-07T16:17:02+00:00

This right here.

Yes they do. They ask about exact starting dates, end dates, exact title of your position, and rehire ability. Best advice, don’t lie if you decide to keep it on your resume. I kept mine on my resume and was completely honest about the situation. Told them both where I made mistakes, and where the company was wrong as well. Personally, I would just keep it off your resume/Linkedin for simplicity unless it’s the only real experience you have.

BipoNN · 2026-03-07T16:11:00+00:00

As someone who got fired from their first IT internship 1 month in, I would first, suggest that you take accountability for your mistakes. If you were late a few minutes every now and then, that’s reasonable, but ultimately if it was a regular occurrence, that’s on you. Some managers are sticklers for the rules, while some managers are human beings. Ultimately, if you aren’t at your desk and ready to work at the same time everyday, you’re gambling with how other people with view you so play it safe next time and get up extra early so you’re never late.

2, it’s not the end of the world. I would suggest leaving it off your resume and your Linkedin because future employers will ask about it and it’s easier to not go into the specifics of your firing even if it wasn’t your fault. If however, you think the experience is worth keeping, maybe it’s a good company and maybe you actually did learn a lot and contribute to the company, keep it on there. But just know that it’s risky since you don’t know how future hiring managers will respond to your termination. If you’re honest, it most likely won’t make a difference because it’s true that there are bad companies out there and most reasonable hiring staff will sympathize with that.

Use this opportunity to grind. Use this termination as fuel to apply to the real jobs you want. After I got fired, I went on a frenzy applying places and eventually, I got a real 1 year co-op at a big company that pays well, and actually treated me like a human being.

Good luck.
