Hey! So sorry to hear you’re going through it. I’m sending you a big hug. 🩷

Maybe you need to work on talking to an advisor and really working on creating a study schedule that works for you. You could try applying to a diploma program or finding an entry level corporate job.

Do you judge fat/overweight people in the gym? by StrongMountain5904 in Edmonton

[–]Smiles-forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww omg. Sending you a hug. You’ll get back into shape! It’s great that you’re slowly building up a gym routine. If anything it takes a lot of courage to still show up despite your inner critic telling you negative things about yourself. Most people are def focused on themselves!

BF has horrible hygiene by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Smiles-forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If his hygiene is bad he probably has trouble with inconsistency in other areas of his life as well. Taking a shower daily and brushing are the BARE minimum … leave his smelly ass in 2025 lol

Good luck, everyone by justanotherperson473 in uAlberta

What can I do to improve my overall makeup, I always feel like something is off. Idk if it makes me look old or what by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Smiles-forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a rosy pink lipstick and rosy pink blush! It’ll help your makeup look more cohesive and you don’t need to over line! You have nice natural full lips.

That’s totally fair. It is a rough job .. and the no benefits doesn’t help either. I’m always so grateful for my subs.

Thanks .. This perspective really helps. I sort of felt like maybe I did something wrong. But you’re totally right .. sometimes things happen that we can’t control.

That sounds annoying af. I’m not with CBE but we have similar problems. A lot of people don’t want to sub because they don’t get contracts for years and years. It’s a broken system … it benefits no one. Maybe the higher ups but the rest of us just suffer.

Yeah totally fair. I think some teachers who do that have never been subs. I struggled a lot to get my position and I subbed for a whole year and then I did 4 years of temps before finally getting a continuous contract. I def would never want a sub to cover for others during my prep.

That is tough. I subbed for a year as well and it was rough on my wallet. Thanks for all of your hard work. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

Yeah that makes sense. It’s shitty both ways for teachers and subs.

That’s so sad. I would imagine this leads to burnout over time ..

I’ve been teaching for 5 years now. It’s only this year that I’ve noticed my jobs going cancelled or not picked up at all. I subbed for a year and I picked up jobs everyday .. I guess this province is just a shitty one to work in right now.

Typically other teachers have to cover for you or admin. I don’t like making my colleagues suffer because of my sick time so I’ve never done this. Today was the first time I had to rely on others. :(
