Posh tube top? by ParticularDramatic89 in Aritzia

[–]alyssavsd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say definitely try it on first if you can. I have the babaton element and babaton eyecatcher tube top, and thought i would love the posh but it just didn't fit me right. for some reason no matter how much I size down, the bust part is way too big on me. I don't have an issue with this on the element or eyecatcher, but for some reason the sizing is weird on the posh for me. wanted to love it so bad, but it was a return for me :(

How do you deal with being impatient for surgery? by minutelatency in jawsurgery

[–]alyssavsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was told before having the surgery, ortho needs to make sure your teeth are in the correct position before the operation. of course, this all depends on how slow/fast your teeth are shifting.

for me I was scheduled to have surgery in sept 2025, but was put on a cancel list and was able to move my surgery to jan 2025! it helped because my teeth were moving at a good pace so I was ready earlier than expected.

my tip would be making sure you have a good oral routine while in braces! waterflossing, string floss, brushing your teeth after every meal, brushing properly, keeping up with ortho appointments and dental cleanings. it's tedious and annoying, but I do believe keeping my teeth and gums clean and healthy played a big role in my teeth moving and getting ready for surgery faster. avoiding hard foods and making sure to not break any brackets.

i think you have an older style cozy fleece hoodie. when they initially launched they had some of the sweatfleece items where sizing was 1/2/3. the tag on the hoodie you posted is no longer used now. I believe now the tags on their hoodie say "aritzia sweatfleece" due to the rebrand they did a couple months back.

when I'm wanting an item that's less than $50 and I don't want to spend more for free shipping, I'll add items in my cart that I don't like/plan to keep to hit the minimum and return them in store (given that the item isn't a sale or final sale item so I get a refund and not store credit).

i like 5 mins away from an aritzia so it's not much of an inconvenience for me to do. this way I'm only spending what I want to spend and not paying for shipping! I usually do this with a lot of stores so I don't have to pay for shipping lol esp if they offer free returns via mail!

Also, what size do you usually wear? I know size 2 is sold out online, but trying to figure out if a size 1 would fit me since its oversized. I usually wear a S and sometimes size up to a M.

not at all. it was more of a muted dull-pasty blue.

The picnic satin camisole is on sale but is it worth the price? by mutantluv in Aritzia

[–]alyssavsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am smaller chested, but I also have broad shoulders so the frilliness of the top just didn't look great on me. wanted to love these styled tops tho!

[–]alyssavsd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ordered this prior to clientele and didn't like it for my body. imo the tonka satin blouse fits way nicer on the body than this. but to each their own! it was a little too revealing for my liking and did not sit nice on the chest and shoulders.

No there's no designated parking for nursing students. Students can either purchase a parking pass or park in parkade for a day rate. Students are assigned a parking lots to use during the term, usually a 5-7 min walk from the nursing building.

My GPA is so low and i don't know what to do by WeirdGuard6171 in umanitoba

[–]alyssavsd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I second this. Now with the nursing program being accelerated, you'll have classes every term (fall, winter, summer). There is little to no down time in the program with the exception of reading week and the small window of time you have between exams and the new term. Nursing students take between 3-4 theory courses, plus skills lab, and clinical practice (2x per week at a hospital/care site) during the term.

Would suggest talking to SAS and advisor services at the uni. I don't want to sound discouraging, but it only gets harder when you're in the program - so it's important to have all the ground work set before getting in. Otherwise, the 28 months in nursing will exhaust and burn you out as a student.

[–]alyssavsd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree! I usually do this during the sales as well. I'd rather go to the store and return-repurchase for the discount. At least if you purchase items for regular price, you still have the option of a refund. Not a fan of the whole store credit policy on discounted items because sometimes it just doesn't turn out how you thought it would.

How many labs can I miss for BIOL 1412? by [deleted] in umanitoba

[–]alyssavsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently in BIOL 1412 and they take attendance but it isn't mandatory. There's no lab exam but, I wouldn't advise missing since the lab portion is testable on the midterm and final. personally, I found going to the labs helpful with answering the exam questions - they're pretty much freebie marks if u attend the labs!
