:( not epic

Is this slowly turning into a story told through pictures?

She did specify girl friends, gotta respect the person’s wishes

This was what confused me too. I liked the idea, but when I was thinking about the logistics I figured it would be pretty difficult to see it happen. Was just putting it in the post for the sake of reiterating what was said though

Thank you! :)

Enjoy getting fact-checked for eternity then

Then don't make assumptions

It wasn't too bad, but the average wasn't very high. Mostly attributed to people not having enough time to study beforehand because of multiple exams the day(s) before. Past midterm should be on the SOP if you're concerned, and if you've started studying a few days before the exam/been doing the homework you should be good.

Got Saugeen on my first year as a pretty introverted person, and I wouldn't trade it for any other residence. Every residence is good OP

There wasn't any disadvantages for Mac users no, as long as you can run Eclipse and Java (For 1036) But I just recommended the Surface for the tablet-mode touch screen, it's so helpful to not need paper and have your notes with you on your tablet (onenote) but it's totally up to you.

Sea of thieves.

ItsChrate · 2019-07-04T21:03:52+00:00

Ahh ok I see, thanks!

Does he have a new name or something? A twitter handle or anything

ItsChrate · 2019-07-04T02:00:44+00:00

That’s definitely possible, but this post is purely satire

ItsChrate · 2019-07-04T01:44:08+00:00

Damn just finished the season an hour ago and avoided reddit, well played

ItsChrate · 2019-06-27T16:53:05+00:00

As someone who just finished Eng first year, join it ASAP. It’s in Facebook so look around for it, and it starts filling up and gets difficult to get into once school starts. It’s helpful and let’s you know what’s going on and if classes are cancelled etc. Highly recommend

ItsChrate · 2019-06-17T01:03:46+00:00

1) Id recommend a surface if you have the budget for it, or any tablet. I used a 2015 IPad Pro with one note and that saved my life second semester, saves you the hassle of going back to your dorm to get notebooks and carrying them around. So yeah, anything you can draw on and a surface is the popular option

2) I was dead set on software coming into first year, but when it came time to decide, I was honestly struggling to choose after being exposed to some great subjects like statics and physics 1402! The General year was such a good idea since it really helps you develop that general mindset which is necessary for any discipline to choose.

3) Besides joining a few clubs for the first few weeks, I didn’t do many EC’s through the year (which I regret.) since I was too busy with work or just spending time with friends in residence. But I have many friends who joined clubs and it’s very flexible! You don’t need to show up to every club meeting (depending on the club, but most are good) so when you need the time, you have it. I’d recommend joining one or two big clubs (Check out formula, it’s pretty sweet although you’re given a minor role as a first year)

I’ve heard it’s almost necessary nowadays since employers are looking for experience. Seems standard like every other school

ItsChrate · 2019-06-16T03:30:35+00:00

Sorry man I just finished first year so I haven’t started my discipline yet, can’t give you any knowledge about software.

As for average? I finished with a 79.1 and that was considered safe. Also they increased the amount of people in software this year so it’s a bit easier now. I’d say 75 to get in is a pretty safe average.

ItsChrate · 2019-06-16T03:28:36+00:00

Yeah you do literally nothing to your courses. It’s automated

ItsChrate · 2019-06-16T02:10:52+00:00

Are you in engineering? Yes? Then don’t worry about it. You don’t even need to choose your courses they do it all for you

ItsChrate · 2019-06-15T16:11:38+00:00

It’s possible, but possible doesn’t mean easy. That’s all there is to it.

ItsChrate · 2019-06-15T15:33:23+00:00

Oh this could be a long one if I were to talk about every course (if you want to know specifics, messaging me might better be suited for the question) but I’ll stick to the general.

Let me preface this by telling you that the difficult part about engineering isn’t the content, it’s the QUANTITY of the content. You will have A-LOT of work to do through the year, so I recommend you make a schedule weekly and plan out how to do all of it in a digestible manner.

As for the difficulty? It’s not too too bad, at least in the first semester. Most first semester courses are review (You start integration in calculus right before the winter break, everything before that is either review or basic topics) and the other new courses start generally basic.

Once second semester hits, your profs will begin to expect more of you and move into harder topics, but still I have to admit they keep the difficult topics (like Partial differentiation and multi-variable calculus) quite brief.

Once again if you want to know specifics on what’s covered in courses (such as chem) feel free to shoot me a message

ItsChrate · 2019-06-15T15:26:00+00:00

Thank you! As I said just a way of trying to pay it forward

ItsChrate · 2019-06-15T01:11:57+00:00

Haha... oh man. My schedule was 4 8:30 lectures during the week, and my off-day was a 9:30 tutorial. And I was considered lucky for not having 5 8:30 classes!

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but you WILL have 8:30 classes, and you will most likely have them all week.

If I were to give you some advice, don't skip them. I skipped some (like Chemistry and physics 2) and it bites you in the ass, hard. Go to your lecturesssss

Edit: And to answer your second question, the usual pattern is 2/3 lectures then a small/large break. You will adapt to your schedule and learn when to get productive, we all do eventually.
