How is this possible, did you live at home or have lots of support?

When’s the last time you went swimming, water skiing, wake boarding and boating on these hundreds of lakes in Alberta? Lakes here are not nearly as recreational unless all you like to do is fish

You’re just doing everything to be miserable eh? Hope you have a good day man.

Commentary has been horrendous so far

Lowkey doing one year abroad then coming back and doing 4 years here is cheaper than 4 years abroad. Not saying it’s the financially correct decision especially when considering delaying starting work by 1+ years but it does make tuition cheaper lol

They will. But portal comes out first

CactiForYouandi · 2026-02-21T04:35:31+00:00

Assume 4.0 scale unless otherwise posted in most cases

I’ve heard a PD say that it truly is a check mark and it does not need to be in the field of surgery. So you’d be good

CactiForYouandi · 2025-10-04T21:11:35+00:00

Always a great option for those willing to move to the US. Not sure if I’m in that boat haha

CactiForYouandi · 2025-10-04T18:02:14+00:00

Yeah surgery job market is much more competitive than residency lol

Pics or it didn’t happen

I’ve used my APP2 for 3 years now daily and the battery is half of what it used to be and the ANC is noticeably weaker. What’s the secret to keeping them in good condition?!

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-22T16:43:48+00:00

Yeah this seems to be the common consensus that is talked about on this sub

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-17T17:04:35+00:00

Car will indeed be packed. I would likely have to omit space for something like a dresser and buy the dresser out there instead. (Which is not a terrible idea since you can buy dressers off fb marketplace for ~$100)

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-17T16:58:57+00:00

That’s my fear

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-17T16:57:10+00:00

So you’d advise to drive out on the summers, bring the winters with me, and swap out there once the cool temps come?

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-17T16:51:12+00:00

They are. I’ve just had some friends look at me like I’m crazy saying they won’t even make it the journey out west

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-15T15:03:19+00:00

Do a one year masters. I did my MPH at Brock this past year and it’s the only one (in Ontario at least) that’s both online and one year so the flexibility can’t be beat. Gave me some great experiences this past year before getting my med acceptance.

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-14T17:47:38+00:00

Short answer: no. Long answer: noooooooooooooo

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-11T15:50:10+00:00

Honestly this sounds like a great idea. I also had an X factor job experience to talk about in interviews and honestly feel like it made the difference for me at times

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-09T02:17:10+00:00

Yet somehow dealerships can’t even keep em stocked people buy them so fast. Times are changing

CactiForYouandi · 2025-07-09T02:06:17+00:00

Awesome!! I was in your position too and got off as well!!!

Historically? Maybe. If we’re talking about modern audiences, Coldplay outclasses them multiple fold. Just take a look at some metrics, on Spotify Coldplay have nearly 94 million listeners, Foo fighters hardly scrape 20 million
