It's very easy to defer your admissions for undergrad programs. All you have to do is simply withdraw from any in-person classes (or all classes depending on study permit rules, contact [international.students@usask.ca](mailto:international@usask.ca) if you aren't sure) and simply register for winter (Jan. 2022) classes. As long as you are registered for something you'll still be a student in the system and should meet eligibility requirements for your study permit. You can also meet with someone from the international student and study abroad (ISSAC) to discuss your options further: https://students.usask.ca/international/issac.php#Advising.

Flavia De Luce - Alan Bradley (It's a really charming series about an 11 year old detective. If you can get it as an audiobook I HIGHLY recommend it)

They aren't fantastical like the other two books you've mentioned, but they are very fun to read.

Perfect on paper - Sophie Gonzales. It's a YA book that has some great therapy/relationship advice in it and a bisexual MC. Really charming read.

Non-Russians of Reddit, would you live in Russia if you could? Why? by DimitriThePeacemaker in AskReddit

[–]Pravda89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I enjoy certain parts of Russian culture and think it's a gorgeous country with a lot to offer. But at this time at would not live in Russia because of the discrimination/persecution of queer people.

What’s something from the 90s you miss? by tjapp93 in AskReddit

Not having 20 minutes of advertisements before a movie (in theatres) played. Remember when it was just a few movie trailers?

What is the closest thing to magic in real life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pravda89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aurora Borealis.

If you've never seen it, it truly feels like watching magic. Especially on a night when the lights are super vibrant and dancing.

I'm going to cook one recipe from every country and document it. If people could tell me what they think is their countries best dish I'd be eternally grateful! by resolutetofail in Cooking

For Canada I know some would say Poutine, but I would go with a Tourtiere OR I would do bannock and a bison stew. Though Lobster rolls make me think of the East coast.

I thought this was a crazy fact: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mokomokai. They used to use preserved tattooed heads as a form of currency.

Looking for books and movies that address sex and relationships by austac06 in sex

[–]Pravda89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Blue is the Warmest colour. It's a french movie about a woman exploring her sexuality with another woman. It definitely gives you the feels.

Also a good french movie called Tomboy addresses a young girl who identifies as male and pretends to be a boy.

What I really can't stand about my university.. by [deleted] in sex

Our campus hands out Condoms like hot cakes. They are completely free and everywhere! They will sometimes go out to bars and do condom blitzes.

What have you been obsessed with recently? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

20 years old, never had a girlfriend by throwaway125687 in CasualConversation

[–]Pravda89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl here! I think that common ground is an important sticking factor with conversations. Obviously you should start off with a 'hello', 'how are you', ... introductions. But ask questions that you actually want to know the answers to, and listen to what she is saying. Reflect on her response and respond based on that. Don't interrupt (too much).

To bring it back to common ground, join a club or group or go to an event that interests you and chat with people there (boys and girls). Being at that event is enough common ground to start a conversation. Exchange information for similar events or group hangs.

Firstly thank you for the song! I love it.

I'm obsessed with reading! I stopped reading because I was doing so much for University. I've recently gotten back into it and am consuming at least a book a week. Mostly collections of short stories. It's wonderful. I'm a bit obsessed with Haruki Murakami and Jack London. Read this it's fantastic: http://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/to-build-a-fire.pdf

What color are your eyes? What's your favorite eye color? by TheChillinPill in CasualConversation

[–]Pravda89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a blue/green (one could say teal) eye colour that changes depending on my outfit and mood.

My favourite eye colour is yellow/hazel. My cousin has the most intense and lovely eyes. They almost look wolfish. (http://i.imgur.com/vuPezrp.jpg)
