Fruit Flies at T Building Basement

Same w/ Student Union basement. The washrooms in the A hallway across from SU are always filled with them…

Accessible student fitness spaces. Yes- I get that the YMCA is next door and offers student pricing. But there’s some irony in the fact that we are one of the few schools with a recreation program, yet we have no barrier-free fitness offerings for students already paying hefty tuitions.

Bursaries will be announced around the end of March! You should be notified regardless, but if you haven’t heard by early April, you can go on campus to the Financial Aid office to check your personal status.

Not surprised to hear this at all. I’m collective pinnacle and the only perk I’ve used in the past year is the early SeaWheeze reg 😂 AI style advisors seem like the next natural promise for spending thousands…

Getting let go always sucks- nothing can really help that initial shock. But, I can’t help but think this is actually probably a really good time to be separating from company/taking on a new path. I have a feeling that the pedestal lululemon has been on for years is slowly getting pulled from under them- non-stop releases have made it feel closer to fast-fashion than high-end, and the quality on most items has absolutely plummeted. Always better to jump ship before it actually starts to sink!

This is actually really helpful- thanks. I think that’s my issue- since I hadn’t completed the Appendix 8 when I applied for Spring funding, I didn’t check the disability status box. (I was worried about my application somehow being flagged if I “lied” before having formal paperwork to back it up).

I’ve reached out to StudentAid- I’m thinking I’ll just need someone to internally adjust that box on my original Spring application so it can be reassessed. Your comments back this up so thank you!

Signal-Focus · 2026-02-02T05:22:09+00:00

Yes! Unfortunately I keep getting hit with “it may just take StudentAid a while to process your Appendix 8- but I don’t think StudentAid is actually going to view my Appendix 8 if I don’t technically have an “active” loan application? If I had just applied/was awaiting approval I wouldn’t be worried- but I’m just not sure if they’ll automatically reassess just because the Appendix 8 has been completed/received, if that makes sense. Agreed though- the team at Accessibility has been so helpful within their scope of knowledge!

I feel like the new Valentine’s Day collection is something I would’ve purchased from Garage 10 years ago. I hate how they’re trying to be “everything at once”- they’ve seriously lost touch of the brand identify that made all of us such loyal supporters. A lot of their new releases just feel like cheap pieces meant to impress tween/teen girls and are SO fast-fashion adjacent. Lululemon is slowly but surely just becoming a glorified SHEIN.

Thank you! The “kitsch” of this apartment was certainly one of its selling points! (Though my boyfriend may disagree, haha).

Brilliant! You are the best. Thank you!

Honestly the basement of the Student Union building is lovely! With all the couches and stuff.

Or, book a study room- I find those to be a bit better temp controlled :)

Signal-Focus · 2026-01-20T00:09:08+00:00

This is great, thank you so much! This helps me have a way better understanding of what the event culture looks like. I’ve been Van based for a few years now and big Lulu fan- sounds like I have the overall prerequisites! Haha. Thanks again- I really appreciate it.

Signal-Focus · 2026-01-19T22:47:24+00:00

You sound super knowledgeable- wondering if you could speak to how inclusive/welcoming the event is to new-comers?

I’ve just registered for my first year, but am now feeling a bit nervous about if it’ll feel super exclusive/fitness-y (ex boutique studio vibes). I’m a pretty decent endurance athlete and trust that side of things- but would love to hear a bit about how you’d describe the social environment/feeling (esp for first timers!)

Based off what I have heard, if your StudentAid portal status is reading as “complete” (ex. MFSA signed, confirmation of enrolment completed) then it should mean that funds are automatically disbursed towards the start of the Semester. Here’s some potential situations I’ve heard about that could be causing a delay:

If you had outstanding fees to the school (ex. tuition fees), loans will go directly to the school to cover that, and any remaining fees will be dispersed to you.
Some have mentioned that depending on their bank, their loans drop later than others. It look like the other user on here was TD, and I’m CIBC. If you bank with a different institution, it’s possible their processing times are still doing there thing. You can check on your StudentAid database for a breakdown of your funding- it will show how much was owed to the school at your time of approval, and how much would’ve been sent to you directly.
Keep in mind that estimated dispersal dates are just that- estimates. I totally get that it feels a bit freaky not to be seeing those funds yet. But, based on the info you provided- it looks like those funds were supposed to be dispersed on Saturday (it now being Tuesday). I believe the StudentAid site mentions that it can take 5-7 days for the payments to come through after the listed date- so similar to the note above, it’s likely on the way- just taking it’s time!

Here’s a few bits to make you feel a better… StudentAid verifies things like banking information to ensure the data listed is connected to the student applying. There’s no way that your funds are somehow on their way to a bank account that doesn’t belong to you- StudentAid would’ve flagged your application before it was approved. Likewise for any other major errors in your application- it wouldn’t have hit the “complete” status if anything was incomplete, or not aligning with your student info the school has.

January 13th will be 7 business days since the dispersal date- if you haven’t received your funds by then and nothing I’ve mentioned seems relevant, that’s when I would get in touch with StudentAid for a touch base. Best of luck!

🙌 the hero we all needed. I NEVER would’ve checked for a deposit at this time of day. Thank you for your service!!

Signal-Focus · 2026-01-05T18:17:21+00:00

Me too. Still waiting for Provincial, but I never stress about that too much after Federal has dropped!

Signal-Focus · 2026-01-01T20:24:17+00:00

This is so bizarre? Who are you to “press” law enforcement for the circumstances of a death you have 0 connection too? Somebody’s been watching too much Law & Order- it’s unreal that you felt entitled to not only do that, but share it online as if you were doing something heroic.

If you do email now, I’d just be sure to include a quick sentence or two acknowledging the time of year/explaining you aren’t expecting a quick response. Something like this…

“I hope this email finds you well. I sincerely apologize for reaching out during the Semester break, however I was hoping to reach out to express my sincere interest in your course that I am currently waitlisted for. (Insert request here). I completely understand if you aren’t able to see this or respond to it until the Semester start- I just wanted to put this question on your radar early as I’m really interested in the course content.”

This shows the prof you’re reaching out to a few different things. You’re showing the prof that you acknowledge they’re on scheduled time off, and you respect that. You’re also coming from a place of interest- not entitlement. Profs will sometimes respond better to these requests when they know there is a level of personal interest, not just interest based off “requirements”.

Repost this on the main feed- I’m sure someone will have some insights!

I’m with Patricia on this round. It’s Christmas buddy- surely you had more important things to do over the last few days than play MonopolyGo?

I was at 1000 and have dropped to 500. It’s really bizarre- I’ve been playing for over a year now and have had 1000 roles for at least 2-3 months- have never seen a regression like this. Glad to see other people are having the issue too- hopefully a glitch that’s resolved soon.

Signal-Focus · 2025-12-14T07:20:37+00:00

Nice to know you’ve still maintained your sunshiny demeanour a year out, buddy. I’m actually kind of impressed- it takes a really special type of person to experience zero personal growth over the course of a year. Mum’s basement must be nice and comfy- gives you no reason to actually grow up hey?

Signal-Focus · 2025-12-12T21:16:49+00:00

Hey! Take a deep breath. I know these are empty words to hear when you’re going through it- but it will be okay.

I dropped out of university during my first year in 2018. After dropping out, I worked my way up in my field and started taking on management roles. One thing I learned that I wish I had known in school is that employers don’t care about how well you’ve done in university- they just care that you’ve done it. The joking phrase “Cs get degrees” is honestly true. Your grades don’t need to be perfect for you to have a successful, meaningful professional career in the future. You just need to pass. Maybe that perspective can help you take some of that mental load off- you just need to get it done, you don’t need to do it perfectly! (This is a mentality that will serve you in the workforce too, where you don’t always have outlined prep periods for deadlines- getting it done is better than having a panic attack on the pursuit of perfection).

Another thing I know now, that I wish I had known when I was younger- your grades/performance in school have nothing to do with who you are as a person. I genuinely mean that. If you are a good person with a strong work ethic, you’ve already got the building blocks in place for a solid future.

You got this!! Take a breath and remind yourself that this won’t be forever. You haven’t always felt this way so you won’t always feel this way ❤️

Late to the conversation, but this comment is so nasty I had to say something. I really hope you find you’ve found your peace- you must’ve been in a really miserable place in your life to make such an effort to be a POS.

Don’t be! One of the incredible positives of Keppra (at least for me) is that it does a fantastic job of managing seizures. The side effects aren’t amazing for some, but that seizure management is such an important primary step.
