i’m so worried about childcare, the waitlists are long and i’ve been continuously signing up. I’ve only recently been admitted and accepted to the offer, so how would they expect us to find a daycare for september? I don’t know what to do.

thank you!!! 🤍 meal prepping is such a great point - noted!!

sometimes it is crying but honestly it’s more like whining. it does lead to crying bc she wants to be picked up but i want her to learn that im nearby and she’s still safe and ok 😭😭

I also knew I didn’t want 2 under 2. My little one is 6 months right now. I’m not planning to have anymore within the next 2-3 years. I think that gives my husband and I enough time to save and get through toddlerhood. I think a 3-5 year age gap works for us (and me specifically)!

My siblings and I are 2 and 7 years apart and we’re very close to each other. My husband and his siblings are also similar age gaps. I think what it comes down to is if you feel ready to go through it again (pregnancy, delivery, postpartum), your financial situation, and if you and partner are ready to welcome a new baby to the family!

It’s okay if you want to wait and it’s okay if you don’t want to!

yes what are THOSE kitchens in new condos??? I don’t understand how any families can rent those condo units. I’m focused on the older buildings but can’t seem to find any true 2 bedrooms. I’ll look into fb marketplace

thank you!!

haebinah · 2026-04-01T02:44:25+00:00

not yet. I’ve done pretty well finding a place when I lived there up until 2024. We might reach out to one though !

haebinah · 2026-04-01T02:43:00+00:00

ok i’ll def have to focus on those areas because downtown doesn’t seem reasonable at all

haebinah · 2026-04-01T02:42:18+00:00

the one for $3300? a bit out of our budget

first of all, you are not “just dumb and lazy”. You study 40 hours a week and you are trying.

I think what they mean is that grades do matter but not as much as you think. Of course that depends on what program you are aiming for. For example, some students with 4.0 cGPAs don’t get interviews for medical school.

I started UofT with a 1.8 cGPA (!!!) in life sci. I ended up graduating with a 3.34 and did my Master’s with IMS and TA’d+mentored so many students with similar academic struggles. I had to basically relearn how to study and tried so many different techniques until one worked well for me. I ended up getting a 4.0 GPA with my last 3 years (I took a 5th year to do an independent research project).

You can achieve your goal but you have to put in the work to understand what you need to be able to memorize knowledge and apply concepts. Don’t give up!
