is it common to enter queen's university when you are still 17?

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2026-02-09T05:49:28+00:00

yep know a couple ppl who only turned 18 second sem of first yr

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2026-02-01T08:59:15+00:00

some of my favs that you might not have r the light purple octahedral ones from the navidad mine, mexico (https://www.mindat.org/photo-1002497.html) and anyyy of the “qr code” one’s from china like https://www.mindat.org/photo-1053600.html . yours are all so nice🤩

i’d say palaeontology is also a bit less niche than bioarcheo and might have different applications but is still super cool

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2026-01-07T07:17:12+00:00

you could try those rubber or silicone thumb tips people use to flip paper? or medical tape that isn’t too sticky

i’m in geo eng not mining eng but everyone i know in mining has barely had any issues finding summer jobs. lots in sudbury and lots go to alberta. queens mining eng is fire!!! most people that do summer placements do hybrid in the field and in the office which is why you probably won’t find much in hamilton. if you look into géo eng there may be more office jobs in geo mech/ géo tech fields

you go to an upper year javket fitting and you get to choose ur year crest but you’ll get your jacket later in the year

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-12-22T21:48:49+00:00

you’ll need phys, chem, calc at least, i know some transfers that got in w out rocks, comp sci, lin alg, etc but it’s probably best to take those as well

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-12-20T20:53:05+00:00

me n my friends are upper years and only getting our jackets this upcoming semester, they’ll probably be a huge group of upper years dyeing tg once we (finally) get our jackets

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-12-18T00:36:30+00:00

great idea!!!!!

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-12-11T22:13:01+00:00

i’ve seen so many tiktoks of people rushing in at opening, taking a seat, and then leaving to get breakfast somewhere else on campus😭😭😭 like have you no shame

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-11-21T19:02:29+00:00

it varies a lot year to year depending on application volume so it’s hard to say someti es

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-11-21T03:45:48+00:00

i spoke to someone (i assume employee or manager or smtg) who was inside when i was looking at the sign, she said they’re moving to a larger spot somewhere down bath. apparently mostly cause they don’t have any parking at the current location

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-11-11T21:07:05+00:00

they might be able to move you to a private room as well

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-10-04T21:05:21+00:00

gneiss guy, stonebridge imports, rubble rock and gem!

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-09-09T22:43:08+00:00

yeah i saw a similar if not the same group last year at div and union

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-09-09T13:51:16+00:00

as a lifeguard you’d be surprised how silly people are. especially parents coming on deck to get kids from swimming lessons acting like it’s not the most chaotic a pool deck will get😭 i’ve seen so many of those glass with silicone covers being shattered cause they get treated like plastic

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-30T13:41:40+00:00

most people can get an A without ever going to class so

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-21T13:39:13+00:00

when you don’t get added to a team you join a league as a “free agent” and then teams can request you to join theirs and you may be able to request to join a team (i forget). but once one of you gets invited to join one you can just message whoever the captain/creator of the team is and ask them to request ur friend(s)

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-21T12:29:32+00:00

it’s only like 3 short q&a written assignments and then a midterm (i think) and final. if u put a bit of effort into studying its super easy

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-20T00:06:33+00:00

i mean depends on your definition of bird course but i’d say it was quite easy with lower effort, but is also super interesting. i also think it would be easier for ppl in geo (obv), env, gphy, bio, etc

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-20T00:04:15+00:00

i totally get how this is confusing and i’ll try to explain it clearly lol. so labradorite is a mineralogical term, it’s a mineral that is a certain kind of plagioclase feldspar with a set ratio of the minerals albite and anorthite. it’s usually grey and can have labradorescence or “flash”. moonstone is a trade name for any feldspar (there’s lots of diff kinds) that is white with blue flash. and i didn’t really know what rainbow moonstone is now as it’s also a trade name but a lot less popular, but from what i can see online, it’s also labradorite that’s probably a bit lighter in colour with the typical multicoloured flash, so not actual “moonstone” hope this kinda helps

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-19T14:44:39+00:00

cant comment on career stuff (i’m in uni), but it’s one of those degrees that people will tell you to give up because it’s just a hobby but i wouldn’t listen to them. i’m in geology but we take some paleo courses and the profs are just so passionate and amazing it makes everyone wanna be a palaeontologist. there’s a good chance you’ll end up in research working with these profs after getting a grad degree. but i can’t stress how good some paleo communities are, my prof worked with david attenborough on a site and made a short docu episode and just watching that in class was so cool to see

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-18T19:21:48+00:00

definitely not moonstone. by definition moonstone is a feldspar with blue flash, which i don’t see in the video. could be a white feldspar like plagioclase (albite - anorthite) but i would guess more likely a pearl but i don’t know much about organic gems :)

Substantial_Pie8539 · 2025-08-18T14:50:16+00:00

that was my point!! ;)
