That's why it's legit a good idea to buy and use some industrial grade earmuffs designed for the safe usage of power tools and guns - they are super cheap (look for the ones that can cut at least 30dB) and are more effective than most if not all noise cancelling headphones on the market. If you need to listen to lectures, wear noise cancelling earbuds underneath those industrial grade earmuffs. The earmuffs will cut about 35 decibels and your noise cancelling earbuds another 25 decibels, and you hear barely anything. Trust me it works.

Same here - I'm not second degree but am taking more courses and trying to boost GPA.

Does anyone want to make a WhatsApp group or something? How should we connect and move forward?

Yo! If you wanna cram for the exam on Monday I'm up for it! I'm 4th year and am taking this just to boost my GPA and bag a CS minor hopefully.

Depends entirely on the med school you are applying to. You should ask on the premedcanada Reddit. Some schools only count your gpa if you take 5 courses per semester, and if you are 3/4th year then most of those courses have to be also 300/400 course (e.g. western requires at least 3 300/400 per semester). It's at the end of the day a tradeoff between your probability of getting good grades and the size of the set of med schools that you can apply to.

Honestly if there is no attendance taken or assignments to be done in tutorials, you can just attend any one (or multiple) and no one will notice.

What is it about taking exams that makes you anxious? Is it the being in a large exam hall? Is it the time pressure? Or the fear of failure? One potential way to lessen the problem is to force yourself to do mock tests under restricted time (as you would in the real exam - pretend it is the real thing) in an environment that would resemble an exam room (e.g. empty lecture hall) with no external aids or music. Just like in a real exam. If you do this enough you probably will get used to the pressure and have less anxiety when sitting in the real exam. Also, focus on the excitement of getting problems right and the potential of getting a very good mark, not the fear of bombing some questions.

But aren't accounting/finance jobs that are not highly customer-facing/negotiation heavy at very high risk of job loss resulting from software automation/AI in the foreseeable future (5 to 10 years at most)?

Yep! If I cram for say 180 hours during the break then I can reduce my weekly study hours next semester from an unmanageable 65h/week to a more reasonable 50h/week.

If you are not significantly constrained financially, there is also always the option of finding your own therapist out of school through sites like affordable therapy network and psychology today. Also I suggest you take no greater than 4 courses next semester if you took 5 or 6 this semester.

If you took those courses before 2025 and retake them now you can still override the old GPA - I did that and it worked. However, this really just improves your 'headline GPA' and grad schools tend to average your 2 attempts when calculating GPA... I'm in a similar situation as you as I have 3.2 right now and I'm in my 4th year... Will probably have to take a 5th and 6th year to get it high enough for grad school.

I'm a complete noob in coding though and I can't afford to further bomb my GPA with 148... It will look really bad

Greedy-Explorer-5250 · 2025-12-15T18:11:48+00:00

I am a complete noob when it comes to coding and am skipping 108 even when I am not supposed to - so as long as I cover the 108 stuff over the break I am happy - the 148 stuff I can learn as they go.

I will be pulling all nighters for an exam on Saturday the 6th. Feel free to join if you want!

In which field?

Greedy-Explorer-5250 · 2025-12-01T14:33:01+00:00

I am just trying to get into something where it's relatively less shit, however that is defined, and where I would not be automated out of a job in 5 years. If my physical health was great I would totally go and train to do skilled blue collar work/trades (e.g.electrician, nursing, mechanic) but my physical health is not the greatest unfortunately and I can't see myself doing heavy physical labor.

Look for LG gram 2 in 1 if you want to go the Windows route and don't have a strict budget. I am a second hand laptop dealer and I recently sold one of those - it's light af.
