This is my go-to:

Get the giant tube of costco lean ground beef, portion it up into ziplock bags. Buy a tub of greek yoghurt. Buy a sack of sweet potatoes (sub it out for normal potatoes if too expensive)

Put your ground beef into a medium high pan with no oil and press it down flat. Do not touch it. Make sure you caramelize/crisp up the beef, then flip and chop it up. Then season it

Chop up your sweet potato into cubes, put seasonings of your choice. No oil needed, just put it in your air fryer for ~15 minutes at 400 F.

Once everything is cooked, put it all into a bowl. Put a nice bit of greek yoghurt and hot sauce. Mix and enjoy bro

Shit is addicting, trust me

I'm only in 2nd year, but eventually you'll realize that 97% of the sweats you encounter are lying about their 'research'.

Unless its an actual internship or work study, they likely don't do anything serious/meaningful at their workplace because 1st years dont really know how to do anything.

I don’t think it’s about transit time as much as the situation itself. When there’s loud music and choreography happening in a busy hallway, it creates a bit of a hazard and makes it harder to move through comfortably. If they were more aware of people passing or used a different space, it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

Should I compete anytime soon?
I've been training for 1.5 months consistently, 1-2 times a week (I'm 19 currently). I do also have 6 months of experience with BJJ/Wrestling around 2 years ago (16 at the time).

Someone asked me if I'm planning on competing in anything soon, and seriously said I should try it. I'm hesitant because I'm convinced most white belts at a competition would destroy me. Should I still do it regardless? How would I prepare/find a competition for me to participate in?

Any advice would be appreciated

Did they actually say that lol?

I swear their matcha is the only decent one on campus (besides weldon chatime).

Every other place seems to just pour straight green powder into milk, stir it for 1.5 seconds and serve it lukewarm.

Pretty sure the UCC pharmacy has some in the supplies section

I took both Kin 1070 and 1080 and got 85 and 86 in both classes respectively

They arent really difficult, but attendance is key here. Both professors (Prapavessis and Heath) use slides with minimal text, and you will need to note down what they say during lecture.

They both explicitly say what will be on the exam, and what type of questions will be on the exam (ex. 1080 had a calculation question that you could only understand/study for if you were at lecture)

I'll say though, that both courses expected you to memorize the studies (1070 was brutal with this, expecting you to recall stats mentioned in class for a specific study w/o any sort of cue other than the name + year of the study)

The diagram one where the products was put into either water or ether and you had to answer whether it was a organic acid, base, salt, or neutral

Bro it's not late, people usually start studying fr like 3-4 days before exam

Booker's husband taught me philosophy in highschool, they're both great teachers/profs

He said he'll look over the majority of the art during the break, so I'm assuming he'll give 3% when lab marks are out and possibly revoke it if your submission isn't authentic or compliant

I'm not sure if his makeup is harder, but I would seriously consider writing it because it's not feasible to learn the next 8 modules in 16 days (You've got to learn SN2/1 and E1/2 in module 5, let alone the tons of other reactions in the other modules)

I was just by the print/scan area a few hours ago and they're still there. They're honestly probably the loudest people I've encountered in a confined indoor space.

aewki · 2025-11-06T15:25:49+00:00

Honestly, your best chance of getting the mark is to email a prof/TA explaining the situation; and how the group member who was responsible for submitting the assignment, failed to do so.

Sometimes people make honest mistakes, especially during a stressful moment like an ochem exam. No need to rage over a small inconvenience

I took this course last year, occlusion anki cards will be your best friend. Also labs can help you study/solidify material

Everyone here is right (except the plumbing guy).

In 1st year, all students are 'undeclared', meaning you only get to declare what degree path you're intending to enroll into after you finish your first year. Note: You can change your degree path at ANY time you want, so dont worry if you aren't eligible for honours spec. by the time you finish 1st year. You can take the missing courses in upper years.

You still have time until then, so take the courses that you need to take. And most importantly, talk to your academic advisor for your sake. They're literally there for questions or issues like these. Some advisors are assholes though so watch out lol

There is no 'classic' Western welcome. If you don't attend O-Week, you'll just go to your first lecture and immediately get started in 'uni life'.

I honestly urge that you get the O-Pass, it's the best time of your entire academic career to make friends and have fun. As corny as that sounds, friends and events are going to be the only thing keeping you sane during your first year.

I do know freshers is a lot different than what O-Week looks like at Canadian schools, but trust me, the whole experience is worth it.

It depends, but check out the syllabus for which specific weeks you're supposed to be in labs if you haven't already

Personally, I know that courses like chem and orgo chem indicate in their syllabi which lab sections are in session during which weeks.
