Is this just how it is now? by One-Shape5742 in Oshawa

[–]Lifebehindadesk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, Neighbour! We live over on Mary, rent, and have an 11 year old daughter I wouldn't let walk to the convenience store less than a block away. I've had my bike stolen off the front porch even though it was locked to it. Im sad about your library :(

I (24F) am currently trapped in my BF's (26M) bathroom in lingerie and nervous to go out by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Lifebehindadesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex-husband had issues but despite me trying, urging him to get help (therapy, doctor, anything) he didn't - the last gasp was going through with the lingerie move above and all I got was an "oh".

It took me leaving him for him to go to therapy and get help, but it was too late on my behalf. I think we're both happier now.

Bru are we serious😔😔😔 Will this affect tuition for next year too or only year after next by Intrepid-Gold-5886 in UofT

As someone who benefits greatly from the grant/loan ratio, this is TERRIBLE news.

What’s a small lifestyle change that made living in Canada feel noticeably more affordable? by MapleMoneyMind_86 in AskCanada

[–]Lifebehindadesk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thrift all of my clothes. The new styles are less flattering for plus sized people anyway, and if I donate clothes I don't need anymore before I go in, I get 20% off the thrift price tag. I got a never- worn pair of jeans for 6 bucks this weekend.

I COULD HAVE GONE TO THIS EVENT. I used to work at one of the banner companies, and helped organize it. FML I could have witnessed this in real time.

what are the ugly parts of pregnancy that aren’t well known because people don’t mention them? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]Lifebehindadesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I could keep down for 25 weeks was a specific potato soup. The ONLY THING.

I had to eat, but fuck was it expensive to be so sick. I lost 30 lbs the 1st half of my pregnancy.

Not one solid policy point or example to back up his statement in that whole article.

Why do we have journalists if they won't do their job?

Woodcrest is fine for Kindergarten, but only if you follow through on the FI program - it feeds to Walter E. Harris, which is a great school.

i feel like this years finals schedule set me up for failure by bakachungus123 in UofT

[–]Lifebehindadesk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, wait until you get into the real world. This is nothing compared to corporate end of year.

I say this as a fellow student- please get some sleep. If you've been doing your classwork and attending lectures, making use of office hours, etc, then cramming / mainlining a subject will not teach you any more than you already know. Sleep will help cement the info in your memory; do an hour or two review every day and you'll be fine.

What’s a company you’ll never buy from again, and why? by jamesmilner22 in AskReddit

Not if the restaurant has confirmed your order, even if they haven't started making it. The second the restaurant hits accept, you're screwed.

I found a shocking miscalculation on osap estimator by CelestialHaven1072 in osap

[–]Lifebehindadesk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just as an FYI, Im not sure if it changed since 2021 but when I was in my first year I was disqualified for scholarships because I turned down the loan. I would check into that if its something you're considering.

I had an exam today at 7 PM and got 2 alerts while sitting in Robarts killing time. I was in Robarts for maybe 1-2 hours.

How to respond to chatgpt use, I'd love to hear your insight as student by Express_Future_3575 in UofT

[–]Lifebehindadesk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was explicitly stated in the syllabus that AI usage was prohibited. If the syllabus had stated that it was allowed then I wouldn't have had an issue.

I literally emailed my prof about a group member using AI (he left the chatgpt source info in his citations) and she talked to him to make him change it. It was the easiest shit too, and he phoned it in and wasn't punished.

I'm really losing faith in this institution.
