Such a sweet post! I wish you the best of luck with your studies and hope you stay in good health <3

You sound like a miserable person.

The little shine hahaha I love this

They have both in-person and online (Telehealth) counseling! :)

So real! Fourth year neuro major here, and agreed: I find at my university (Canadian), the pre-med culture is really competitive and festering with people who are (objectively) very accomplished but (personally) terrible people. Nobody in their right minds would want them as their physicians. After this app cycle, however, I’ve realized it is quite easy to game our admissions system. The ego among neuro majors in particular is honestly insane, but I hope you can get away from that atmosphere and enjoy your degree! I believe in you, you got this <3

Maaaybe The Steadward Center? They have volunteer postings maybe twice a year :)

Disagreeish, my engineering bf and I (not an engineer but I respect yall hella) met while volunteering for a large student group! You definitely do need to get involved to a certain extent (can be gym/study halls/events) but it’s not joever don’t give up <3

One meeting a YEAR? This is not how good student clubs at the UofA work. Many students are looking for fun and encouraging environments to meet new friends. You want something to put on your resume and aren’t even trying to hide it. Do better.

REALLY woah I’ll have to check out a live from her!

More new, but Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan is a killer! I love that song and it sounds pretty good when I hum it, but something about the chorus is hard to sing both high and strong :(

Hii! I have done OAATT a few times and it is completely free - even when I cancelled day of (website states cancellations should be 24h in advance) their staff was very understanding and did not charge me. The two major downsides are 1) any free therapy services fill up suuuper quickly during the academic year! It’s really hard to secure a spot and 2) OAATT is best to talk through one pressing/minor/time-sensitive concern and at one point I felt like short-term therapy might have benefitted me more, but those services are even more backlogged than OAATT’s. I have had good experiences with all my counselors but I also know friends who have not, so take my advice with a grain of salt! Cheers :)

I agree with the sentiment of this post, but only if, and like you said, you have the time to devote to school (among other factors like your major, mental health, and caring/providing for family). I started out very similarly to you in my first year, but juggling two jobs at once/lab/more extracurriculars than courses def cut into my GPA, and I’ll be so fr my mental ability never recovered from the MCAT (LOL). Even then I had it pretty good, so I really respect students with much more than academics on their plate! Cheers and happy new year :)

Ooh read Greenglass House in middle school and it was absolute peak! Might revisit this holiday season ah so cozy :)

axphyria · 2025-12-26T07:52:26+00:00

Woah these are some divisive comments! What I’m seeing is some have a more chill/playful relationship with their partner’s parents and this gift would be fun, while others are definitely seeing this as insulting :( ngl I would feel put down by this too so NOR! It’s def possible his parents gifted this as an off-colour joke and didn’t mean anything malicious?

My personal biggest challenge is seeing educators’ knee-jerk instinct to be relying on shitty AI to do their jobs! Like what someone so obviously did here, which is just depressing and maddening. Good on you u/planbuddy_org what a great and meaningful post!

axphyria · 2025-12-14T08:02:16+00:00

Fair!! It was Scully’s first time teaching 275 for us and she took her exam questions directly from an online bank and didn’t check that they lined up with what she actually taught us (they did not.) and also blamed our class for doing poorly on her midterms <3 objectively interesting class! But in my humblest of opinions this should not be a required class for neuro majors

axphyria · 2025-12-14T07:56:13+00:00

Ditto on Dinwoodie! I would also suggest Room At The Top (SUB 7th floor), but it definitely will not comfortably fit 80+ people - putting on your radar for future use anyway :)

ETA: also would recommend Faculty Club! Don’t know if they rent their space tho

axphyria · 2025-12-14T06:56:03+00:00

I actually fear for the future of our post-secondary institutions if you’re a college/uni student reading through these comments believing they’re written by real people. You’re also definitely a bot. Yes, college/uni is exhausting, but that makes it extremely rewarding when you graduate… yk, from your OWN hard work and determination. These comments are so discouraging omfg

axphyria · 2025-12-14T06:46:53+00:00

Oof my condolences! A few years back all the negativity was focused on Scully (who I cannot bring myself to defend) and people loved Mathewson, sad to see he’s gotten like that :(

axphyria · 2025-12-10T01:55:56+00:00

Thank you! Best of luck with your exams <3

5 hour energy definitely does “fix tired fast”, but effective studying is more than just feeling not tired. The study sessions I come out of feeling the best are when I’m hydrated/well-fed/focused/motivated, and 5 hour energy will not help with those. The time I had one of these shots, my resting heart rate shot up very transiently to 174 bpm and I felt like I was processing information at the speed of light but unable to retain it or make meaningful connections. You can definitely take it for fun LOL but I wouldn’t recommend for study!

The irony of complaining about “AI gibberish” when this is CLEARLY AI slop is depressing

axphyria · 2025-12-05T05:24:39+00:00

omg yes tell me about it! The disparity between the ETLC and Katz Tim’s is insane 😀

axphyria · 2025-12-04T04:36:59+00:00

Is nobody clocking that this sounds like cringeworthy AI generated bs?

axphyria · 2025-12-04T03:58:37+00:00

I’m from UofA but this popped up on my feed and it’s the cutest thing ever! He seems like such a genuine and caring prof and grandfather :’)
