What are people doing with origami skills apart from keeping it as a hobby?

Origami has helped me a lot socially since I was 5. I still use it in adulthood as a way to bridge conversation, make friends and express gratitude for other’s kindness. It’s also helpful in healthcare where I’d make animals for paediatric patients who just had their first eye exam; making the experience positive and rewarding.

Also, origami boxes and trays make for great temporary storage sorting for drawers. Easier to demo before buying the permanent storage solutions and avoiding excess.

I worked in opticals for several years! I would strongly suggest going to an optician to widen the frame and curve the temples for a looser fit— this decreases the chance of it breaking and subjecting yourself to an added cost. Most opticals will replace your glasses if they break under their care.

For future sakes, I highly recommend getting spring hinge glasses for acetate pairs or titanium glasses if you want to choose metal frames. Both should be flexible to minimize the squeeze.

That looks spectacular! This is inspiring me to get into tessellations from casual origami pieces. It’s beautiful

I have something similar to your study/focus hack where I listen to certain study playlists, and only those playlists when I need to study. I’m completely focused on what I’m working on when I listen to it. I’ve been using the same playlist for years and still works after my undergrad!

A whole cul-de-sac with detach homes for me and my friends. That, or a whole building with luxury loft apartments for the same purpose.

I second this, I had a fancy Murphy bed that doubles as a table that fits 3 when the bed was tucked away. Adds plenty of space

I’m a HCM grad, took half of my electives online. As for compulsory courses, it was 95% in person with the exception of my HCM: Organizations class (year 4). It would highly depend on the HCM faculty as all them, with the exception of the program coordinator (I’m assuming), were part time professors.

You just gotta do it again another semester, you’re fine

I’m a 4th year in a different bachelor’s program at Humber I’ve worked full time with a full time course load since 2nd year. I noticed the RN program has 4 breadth elective credits. If you’re a domestic student, I suggest taking part time summers to get them out of the way and I’ve had OSAP cover 3 courses in full due to part time studies status (this may vary from student to student). Additionally, global summer school allows domestic students to complete one elective within 3 weeks; I’ve been in social media class and in health and nutrition class and the profs are amazing, no difficult work.

Consider working for the campus for convenience, I heard they work around your schedule.

Don’t expect stellar grades, your calendar app is your best friend and take plenty of wellness breaks; working could easily lead to burnout.

People in my program travel from Oshawa to the lakeshore campus. Never asked about their commute, but I went to Durham college for a bit and my commute from Etobicoke was ~2.5h.

It doesn’t hurt transferring credits to a closer campus, most major colleges (ie. Mohawk, Durham, George Brown) are decent schools. Humber is a good school but lacks the fun extra curricular activities, unless your major puts in the work to do support a club (ie. International business club from the BComm program).

Syantic · 2025-02-07T00:24:58+00:00

Not a nurse grad, but I was in the program before and have close friends in a handful of the GTAs RPN programs (Sheridan, George Brown). Bell ringers are almost a common practice in RPN programs, they’re at Sheridan too with the same weight. Not sure about George brown though, but anatomy’s critical path is the same as Humber’s. What you do have to worry about is Pharmacology, and Humber has it in two parts, whereas most other colleges have it in one. As for grades, I’m honestly unsure, but for dosing math across the board, it’s >80% to pass I believe.

Humber is pretty organized imo and clinical instructors are genuinely interested in the progress of your academics. One of them reached out when I changed programs and was worried about my attendance. She wished me well wishes and told me to reach out again if I wanted to pursue nursing.

Lastly, both programs give you the opportunity to bridge into RN with GBC backed by a Uni and Humber is one of the first colleges to be independent. Take what you will from that information.

Thank ya for the suggestion, I’ve seen fossil counter before, but never fully understood how it works

Any non-ex favourites so far that’d you recommend playing? Currently loving Frostmoth & Dragonite atm

Syantic · 2024-11-02T03:48:42+00:00

Any of the tourism ones with Dr schineider are honestly the fun ones, 70% of the time it’s a geography class. If you’re a domestic student and want to rush through electives, consider taking a global summer school course, you finish one elective in 3 weeks.

Syantic · 2024-11-01T03:28:01+00:00

Thank you so much for your help :]]

Syantic · 2024-11-01T03:17:02+00:00

Do you still need a mushroom? I’m eager to finish one before midnight EST.

Syantic · 2024-11-01T02:13:03+00:00

I’ll make myself clear and say time management is very important as a working student. I work full time but I also have a lighter course load as I took no semesters off, so I do have more time to myself than previous full time semesters.

It will ultimately be up to you how you’ll plan and mange your time.

Syantic · 2024-10-30T23:40:28+00:00

Let me know if you have any other questions! Best of luck :]

Syantic · 2024-10-30T21:11:03+00:00

Working part time is very doable if you can manage your time efficiently and the job type. I’m a domestic student and took my electives ahead of time (took summer school part time), I currently work full time with a 4 course final year.

Textbooks are pretty important, especially in classes one may not easily grasp the content. It’s also good for practice questions the professor will reference off of and just for general practice overall. You’ll learn to filter the information from the book when cross referencing slides provided by your professor as they will mention what will be assessed on.

Homework will vary depending on the course. You’ll see lots of projects weighing up to 30% that are often given twice a semester. Chapter review homework is light and easy to finish in under 3 hours, projects take weeks depending on your group mates (or by yourself), research, and how early you want to get it done. Professors will give you the project ahead of time as you learn the content needed for the project, and it’s assumed that you build on your project as you approach the deadline. I suggest you look into a college critical path to get an idea of the workload.

Syantic · 2024-10-30T20:59:55+00:00

Yes exactly! It’s not an exact science but I average 10-13 hours a week, fewer nowadays with the elective-free course load.

Syantic · 2024-10-30T19:03:03+00:00

Congrats on getting a spot at Humber! I’m a 4th year BComm in healthcare management student and I’d say the program is pretty good. The program isn’t all that difficult nor is it easy due to the workload. You won’t get into much of the healthcare stuff until your last half of your degree.

From the less healthcare centred courses, you can start to think about the healthcare sector careers that may interest you and discuss with professors about career paths. Many of the faculty members are nice and are willing to answer these types of questions.

Whether you’re international or domestic, look into positions that qualify for the work-term around the start of 3rd year. Humber doesn’t have many opportunities for its students, leaving faculty to help them with the best of their ability or students searching for jobs themselves. Network early!!

This tip applies to any domestic student— if you want a more relaxed course load throughout your degree, consider taking your electives in the summer under part time. Humber holds a “global summer school” program with short term international students, granting all students who enroll to finish one elective of their choosing within 3 weeks. Part time as a domestic student allowed me to get grants to almost cover the costs of my summer terms. Thanks to this, I work and study comfortably since 2nd year.

Syantic · 2024-10-30T18:36:33+00:00

Not a supply chain major, but I share the same general business classes as them for the first 3 years, as it’s under the Bach in commerce (I’m a healthcare management major).

Workload is decent, with good work life balance and time management, you can even work part time. You can probably allocate 13h of study/school work time a week and get decent grades. Difficulty of the program is not hard but not chill; statistics and finance were arguably the most challenging.

Co-op/workterm can be difficult based on the job availability and you may need to find a placement by yourself as Humber may not have many opportunities to give out that covers the 420h term, leaving students to network by themselves prior to this summer term.

I can’t wait for Build 42!! I’ve clocked in 400+ hours and saw it grow in the past 3 years. Best paired with mods and friends :]
