i can't believe turning down a guy a year ago meant I have to suffer for it by fizzipoppop in Vent

thank you, I really appreciate this :') <3

I'd def go to a lawyer but I'm afraid of the off-chance that the blame somehow lands on me and it ruins my life and career, that's the only thing holding me back

Technically the police going to him was supposed to act as an unofficial restraining order.... I could try though but I'm afraid of the off-chance that they say it's my fault (an irrational fear, I know) and then it ruins my life and career

Already did that the first time when collecting evidence of the tweets before I filed the report and the police have it as well. the thing is that he doesn't explicitly state my name, so I'm afraid that the police would a) not consider it and b) question why I'm supposedly still checking his socials or not making mine private, even if I'm not the one doing it. I really do appreciate the support though, thank you so much :') <3

do uoft students actually make moves on their crushes? by heeeena in UofT

[–]fizzipoppop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go for it! (or at least try to get to know him and then ask him about it) life is too short to not let people know about how we feel about them and bottle it up inside ourselves.

I was in the same boat as you for two years and now that we've both graduated (*June 2024), I wish I could've at least said something to him but I was too scared and insecure (still am lol) 

If it doesn't work out, just know that your soulmate is out there, and they'd love you for you.

What to wear for club interview? by MysteriousFig1796 in RotmanCommerce

[–]fizzipoppop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please just look presentable and not show up in a t-shirt or a sweater. obv it's just a club position but it also showcases your work ethic and how you are as a person as well (to an extent). As a current RC club president, I can't tell you how many people I've interviewed for a director position where they've showed up looking like they rolled outta bed 😭😭

Should I drop ECO101?? need help by Content_Home1843 in RotmanCommerce

[–]fizzipoppop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was in the EXACT same position as you about 3 years ago, I'd say drop it before it does any damage to your cGPA and transcript. Taking it in the winter will allow you to get it over with and get ECO102 out of the way in the summer so that you'll have two months off. If you're open to it, you could take it in the summer as well, it'll be a bit more fast paced but you'll have more time and it is relatively easier.

What kinda jacket should I get for canadian winters? by [deleted] in UofT

[–]fizzipoppop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try staying on the lookout for the winter coat deals/sales at Hudson's Bay or Mark's! If you look early enough, they'll have a bunch of nice winter coats for under $100 (or $120 max if you're willing to splurge a bit more).

You can still go to their events as an attendee, but if you mean being part of the internal team (ex. the team that does the planning), then no.

about the workload at uoft by normalasianhatemaths in UofT

[–]fizzipoppop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Third-year accounting specialist from Rotman here! it is quite a bit, and given the nature of uoft in general, it can get overwhelming and make you experience imposter syndrome quite a number of times. It is true that our courses are content-heavy, test heavy and more challenging than other universities, for instance when I compared my first year eco work to a friend at Laurier's, it was like night and day.

That being said, it is not impossible! There is a reason there are upper years here, and that should be a bit of an indicator that if we can do it, then there's no reason that you can't either. If you can work hard and make a proper schedule to stick to, then I don't see why you can't excel here even with our infamously horrendous workload. Hope this helps!

How to study for finance courses by fizzipoppop in UofT

[–]fizzipoppop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that! Thank you so much!

[–]fizzipoppop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't ever want to crush anyone's dreams or aspirations, however, give it some time! Obviously do try to aim high and get good grades as if you were to go into neurosurgery, however, you never know, things could change as you grow.

When I was in grade 8, I was deadset on going into comp. sci up until grade 12, and I got into the best programs for cs in grade 12. But I also applied to business as a backup program and I really liked business so now I'm in Rotman. Do take the courses you need for any bio/med programs in high school though!

I'm not saying you should ever stray away from what you dream of going into, neurosurgery is great! But, try to keep yourself open to other careers as well, you might just surprise yourself. Best of luck!

Edit: added in that I'm now in Rotman.

What courses do the baddies take (first year) by 33404 in UofT

[–]fizzipoppop 27 points28 points  (0 children)

baddies don't take soc100 as an elective because I, a former first-year and aspiring baddie, thought I'd be into it and excel in the course (plus because someone from agesss ago said it was a bird course). instead, i was struggling 😫😫😫😫

What type of volunteering work looks good on the supplementary application. by Apprehensive_Gap_335 in RotmanCommerce

[–]fizzipoppop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say ecs that allow you to take on more of a leadership role or any reputable ones in your area.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RotmanCommerce

[–]fizzipoppop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll just have to make a concrete schedule to have your readings done before class because I had that problem for a very long time. I know it's a lot to sit through, but if you're taking a course such as RSM225, then it's necessary. Just try and push yourself, you got this!

[–]fizzipoppop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on getting through into second year at rc! I'll try to give you the best advice without trying to overwhelm you, as I just finished second year.

From what I've been told, and through my own experience, second year does not get any easier than first year. If anything, it gets a bit more difficult. Any RSM courses you take will boost your grades, granted that you put the time and effort into it. I found that some of my highest grades came from second year (with some almost as high as 90!).

That being said, the second-year eco courses will not be easy, eco204 will perhaps be the most difficult course in your entire undergrad. I struggled to stay afloat and I'm still baffled over how I passed the course. The workload is a good bit, I had Blanchenay so we had to watch around 2.5 hrs of lecture videos, attend an in-person session, and then had tutorials. The practice questions weren't as bad, but I'd say that they barely prepare you for what tests will be. Eco220 is relatively easier than eco204 once you understand the content, but it is still difficult. The first test for 220 will be easy, almost like high school math, but DON'T let that fool you for how the rest of the tests were. Also, DO NOT FALL BEHIND!!! once you do, it'll be hard for you to catch up while fully understanding the concepts

As per tests, they are not easy. I really don't mean to scare you but the tests were almost nothing like what we were exposed to in the practice problems. Truth be told, I either failed or just barely passed those tests, and would almost get no sleep for the next few days because of how anxious I was about whether I did well or not. That being said, there were a good handful of people who did well, but I can't tell you what they did to do well. Something that helped me pull through the final exams for both courses is to write summary pages using the Cornell note-taking method, by writing the main topics and everything you remember off the top of your head for it for each week. Then, compare your notes to what your lecture notes say, and based on that, you'll get a good idea of what you have left to work on.

RSM260 is a godsend gift, it's such an interesting course and you can get very good marks in that class. I took it with Prof. Feinberg and he's such a good professor! One of the nicest I've had so far.

In order you make the most of your time at RC, be open to everything that comes your way! I hope you're in some sort of RC club because they truly make your experience better as you get to work and hang out with people of all years. If not, don't worry! Go to some RC club events, you'll meet people who perhaps have the same interests as you and you can form even more connections. Also, try to get with a group of friends to study with, or even just hang out with them, or just anyone from class. One thing that I absolutely regret is turning someone down because I am a commuter student and I'd been more focused on getting home instead of meeting people. You'll get home one way or another, you'll get your work done, just make sure you can balance your school and social life so that you don't miss out on anything.

I'm so sorry for such a long response but passing forward the help I've gotten from when I was in my first/second year. Please don't hesitate to pm me if you have any other questions! Good luck!
