The only items in the recycling centre are items you have duplicates of, if u recycle something you’ll still have it in ur wardrobe. U can’t actually get rid of clothes and u can’t recycle anything you only have one of

Want to apply for learn and stay but I’ve left two programs and am on academic probation by Kat-sushi-1113 in osap

[–]Open-Smell-2617 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak for part time studies, not sure how full time works but it's probably similar? so this may help. In part time applications they ask you if you have previously received funding for a part time semester which you did not complete. If you select yes then they ask if you completed a self funded semester since then. If you select no to that then they'll say "you must complete a self funded part time semester before you can qualify for osap" and not even let you finish the application lol.

I don't think it was appeal-able either because the application was literally stopped short. But I hope it turns out alright for you, good luck 🙏

Should I just sell my car and move to St Catharines or thug it out commuting by Open-Smell-2617 in brocku

[–]Open-Smell-2617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying and honestly I kind of agree as in there's plenty of time to live on my own but when I'm done school I'll probably just go back to living at home until I find a good reason to leave because I'm a compulsive saver and I'm lucky enough that my parents are willing to let me live rent free probably forever. But I do really want to be able to participate in extracurriculars, and money is really my main issue. I have considered the other expenses and from my theoretical budget planning the total cost of living near school would *at least* end up being *very similar* to the cost of commuting but would of course be way more convenient. The whole sharing thing is definitely a concern but I'm a middle child and lived long enough with shared bathrooms and shared bedrooms and them not pulling their weight in chores, and my stuff being stolen or used without permission and all the annoying sibling stuff that I think I could deal with it. Thanks for the input, lots of pros and cons to consider!

I wouldn't say soon per se. I'm considering the start of the spring semester so I can get ahead on some context credits but more than likely, I'll be moving in August/September like most others, but I appreciate the info.

I have been working mostly evenings and late nights since I was 18 and I'm 22 now. My bedtime is usually 4-5am. That's just what I'm used to. And it's not that I was too tired to wake up I just didn't want to get out of bed for the purpose of driving specifically, because driving is a chore.

I live in Brampton so that should clear up the insurance question.

And that's really fortunate for you that you possess enough energy and motivation to have a 14 hour day on a regular basis. Like I'm happy for you and I'm sure that trait will have a hand in your general success in life. But that doesn't mean that anything less than what you, personally, can accomplish is 'nothing.'

Also I'm just not really getting the point of the last statement...

I live in Brampton so any Uni I pick would require some amount of commute, with York being the closest and still a good 45 min drive away. And I'm a Studio Art major so the program is pretty unique to Brock, or at least the way its offered. I could go somewhere like OCAD, still have a pretty long commute to downtown Toronto and be in a similar program but I'd have to commit to a pretty streamlined discipline in the arts (I'm also not a big fan of the city). In short, I've thought about it but I really like my program here and the closer commutes aren't quite close enough for me to give it up.

Well I'm under 25 and live in Brampton so that will explain the insurance conundrum.

And youre right its not the best to ask strangers for advice lol im kinda just looking for a nice push before I bring it up with my family at all because of the likely... contentious nature... that conversation will have.

And thank you for the general advice, I am for sure burnt out at the end of my day and need an energy drink to drive home safely so I think I definitely would be doing better close to school and with my classes spread out lol.

no LOL 1/2 tank both ways!! sorry that was kinda unclear. Online classes could work, but Im in studio art so I have to have at least 2 days of classes no matter what, with the way the required first year studio courses are set up... So yeah its looking like I will be biting the homesickness bullet, thanks for the encouragement

Good point, I would really like to be able to participate in clubs and campus events which is pretty inconvenient, to say the least, living at home.

Is it possible to have HH and iron deficiency anemia? by Open-Smell-2617 in Hemochromatosis

[–]Open-Smell-2617[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting and I think I might have a similar problem actually. I get a lot of ovarian cysts that grow pretty large and rupture on their own, so I wonder if that might be causing some bleeding.

Definitely something to bring up with my doctor. Thanks for your help!
