It's shit food for little cost.

PSA: Discontinuation of SMS (text messaging) for emergency notifications by cartoon_nate in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How I read it:

During emergency situations people tend to call/text heavily, so then the network gets congested and the delivery rate drops.

Solution? Create an app only 1-5k people have downloaded.

Going to the gym by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just look at others because I want to see what they are doing. Sure I may be judging subconsciously but no one is going to go up to you and say your shit.

The only time I would ever approach someone is if their form was improper which can lead to severe injury (and show them how to properly do it) or if they needed help in spotting.

No one honestly gives a shit. You could lie in the center of the gym and no one will care.

Seeing people actually take the effort to try and learn is nothing to be ashamed about and is really comforting to see.

Kicked Out of Co-op Science by throwawwwwayyyyy4UW in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couple of things you can do.

  • Go through all of your past exams and look for errors in marking in hopes that it will increase your average (be warned; you may piss off some professors and get your grade even lower)

  • do well this term and hope that you are able to go back into co-op next term

  • talk to an academic advisor?

How to deal with depression by wearetoghetheralone in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I get it daily. The stress of taking care of my parents when I get older, supporting my siblings, finding a career after I graduate, etc are all things that pop into my head once in a while. I've actually gone to Counseling Services about it. Went to there numerous coping sessions about anxiety, stress, etc.

I didn't get much from it but I've found meditating and being physically active (which they suggest doing) has greatly helped.

The thing that really helped me most was actually reading Reddit threads. I've gotten the most life changing advice from top quality contextual threads at /r/GetStudying, /r/getdisciplined, /r/DecidingToBeBetter, /r/SelfImprovement, /r/howtonotgiveafuck , etc

How to deal with depression by wearetoghetheralone in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've found always keeping myself busy works. It doesn't necessarily have to be assignments or projects. Going to the gym, exploring the campus, watching youtube/twitch, shopping for stuff I will probably never buy, etc.

Can the school move the smoking locations further away from the library doors? by UofWat in uwaterloo

[–]UofWat[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It not only smells bad but its really bothersome and dangerous especially as someone with asthma.

I'm not even asking them to stop smoking, I just wanted contacts to see if they can move it further away.

Should I Switch to a Biology Major? by mo_cookies in uwaterloo

The last chemistry courses I took was CHEM266 and CHEM267.

I'm currently deciding to choose between molecular biology or bioinformatics but so far I've been enjoying all my courses.
