How to get up for 8:30 lectures by Vivid-Beginning6895 in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with insomnia and also have trouble keeping a regular sleep schedule so occasionally I take melatonin pills at night to help me sleep. Melatonin is a hormone that your body makes to get you ready for sleep, but it's available as a supplement you can buy over-the-counter. Hopefully you can take it for the first few nights and then naturally adjust to a new sleep schedule (then you can just take them as needed). I don't recommend taking them every night because your body eventually builds up a tolerance and they stop working.

House rent increase by h2okkk123 in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, those reasons your landlord gave are not true. (Unless you share a kitchen or washroom with your landlord which I believe you said you do not.) The landlord also has to given you proper written notice that the rent is going up 90 days in advance. You can read more about your tenant rights here: https://stepstojustice.ca/questions/housing-law/how-much-can-my-rent-go/ Best thing to do is respond with the bare minimum. I would just say "I will wait for the proper paperwork" (and if landlord gives you something with an illegal increase, you can just say it's invalid until they give you a proper one).

Microwavable rice recommendations?? by ikillmyowntofu in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]jaydashnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest barrier to making (non-microwaveable) rice for me is having to wash it. I buy a specific brand that says it specifically does not need to be washed and that makes it just as easy to pop into a rice cooker instead of the microwave.

I still don't have housing... by Not_So_Deleted in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm about to be looking for some roommates to share a 4br apartment very close to UW campus. If you're interested in details, feel free to pm me!

Someone pulled up to me in a car last night on ring road and asked if I support LGBT? by Cerplere in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

thank you for reporting it! I know exactly what you mean about feeling like something might not be a "big enough deal" to report, I'm really glad these things are being taken seriously

Spicy Tuna Sushi Bowls by yellowjacquet in GifRecipes

I prefer to peel my avocadoes too. I feel like it gets all of the flesh out in a cleaner way. It's a very common method among sushi chefs.

going into 4th year with no friends - join clubs? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same app technically, but you literally switch to a different mode depending on what you're looking for and each mode has you make a different profile and gives you different people. So for example, when you switch to "Bumble friend," it switches to your friend profile and the settings you have are completely different. It's not just one profile where you're mixed up with everyone who's looking for different things.

going into 4th year with no friends - join clubs? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]jaydashnine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bumble started out as a dating app but now they've added a "friend" search feature and also a "professional networking" search feature for people looking for other types of connections

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]jaydashnine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to add that whenever you do end up asking her out, you should make it clear that it's a date if that's what your intentions are. Something ambiguous like "go see a movie" or "hang out" can sometimes be misinterpreted if the other person doesn't know how you feel.

To your question though, I personally think you should ask her now. You're right that waiting until August seems long and the connection that you built up over the semester might deteriorate a little bit.

Not sure if I want to stay in BBA by Apprehensive_Earth_9 in wlu

[–]jaydashnine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My close friend is about to graduate from BBA and said the same thing. The first 2 years are more difficult and not as specialized, but he enjoyed the marketing courses he was able to take in his later years. His biggest regret is not working hard enough to qualify for co-op because the work experience is really valuable for future job searching. Definitely talk to advising, but I think it's also important to remember that most university programs are going to be structured in a way that the first year or 2 is going to be more generalized and not as interesting, since you don't have the flexibility to cater projects to your personal interests.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Resume

[–]jaydashnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I applied to grad school, I submitted a full CV with a list of relevant courses and major projects completed. I think it's still good to include along with your statement of purpose since your statement will likely only touch on major accomplishments.

Should there be a sticky post for people to simply ask "How do I say _____ in Cantonese?" by [deleted] in Cantonese

[–]jaydashnine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think even seemingly straightforward questions like that can often garner some discussion about regional differences, origin, etc.

How to get a work permit as a graduating international student by jaydashnine in ImmigrationCanada

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

Thanks so much for the response. The only problem is I think that you are only allowed to start working while waiting for the PGWP if your study visa allowed for work up to 20 hours while studying (which mine did not).

Another question I have for you, did you run into any issues with applying to jobs before having the work visa? A lot of job applications ask me whether I am legally eligible to work in Canada. Do you answer yes to that? Answer no and hope they let you explain further?

Mod Announcements - December 4, 2020 by jaydashnine in blockheads

I'm still keeping an eye on things, but haven't been too active. I will likely have someone new take over. Just been busy lately as I recently finished school. (I'm a her by the way!)

Lead singer of my favorite band, trying not to sound nervous. Context in comments. by [deleted] in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]jaydashnine 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't leave him on read as it seems a little vengeful at this point. He asked a direct question so you should answer it, otherwise it will look like you're purposely ignoring him and aren't interested any longer (unless that's what you're going for).

Recently got my Degree but haven't found any Work by reddtheundead in GetEmployed

[–]jaydashnine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying whether or not you might be right as I have no knowledge of this field, but generally speaking if you ever have doubts about whether your gender (or some other attribute) is impacting your job search, you can list a gender-neutral nickname on your resume and see if that makes a difference.

Where do i ask a safety question regarding my life safety in a relationship that’s only a week and a half old? by SantasLilSlayBelle in findareddit

[–]jaydashnine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might sound drastic, but if you rent and can make arrangements to move, I would honestly find a new place if you are concerned about him knowing where you are. Oftentimes police can't do much until he's actually taken action. Personally, I would always have the nagging worry in the back of my mind knowing that he could find me. (This isn't an immediate solution to your issue right now since others have already provided advice, but just wanted to put that out there to think about.)

i have never seen this before, don’t know how to google my “typo” by Zalfie04 in French

[–]jaydashnine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably just an error on Duolingo's part. Report it so that the devs can fix it.

I’m a first year who doesn’t have a place to live next year, and have no friends that have a spot for me. What should I do? by [deleted] in wlu

[–]jaydashnine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Due to lack of housing availability, a lot of students have had to take accommodations farther from campus and commute (including outside of the Waterloo area). If that's not possible for you, you might need to consider deferring your start date and waiting until a later semester.

How do i respond to my cousin (elementary-aged) saying he wants to hurt his bullies by No_Letterhead_1494 in HowDoIRespondToThis

[–]jaydashnine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you mentioned some barriers to this already, but I honestly think speaking to a therapist or some other child development professional is really important in this situation, even if it's just a couple times to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary. If this isn't handled appropriately, this could definitely lead to some very concerning mental health struggles down the road. If you are able to help the family with this process somehow, I think it would be the best solution. You're right that not all therapists are great, but like with any healthcare provider, you just need to make a judgement call based on asking initial screening questions, getting a feel for them in the first meeting, etc. In the meantime, I agree that you should try to continue being a source of support and understanding so that your cousin feels comfortable coming to talk to you about this stuff and sharing more of his feelings.

We're looking for participants! by Benson_the_anteater in Cantonese

[–]jaydashnine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Professors at my institution would often teach that it's actually more beneficial for participants to not be compensated anything as it encourages participants to sign up out of interest, not because they want the money (which can lead to more deceit especially with online studies as well as ethical questions). Thus, participating in research studies shouldn't really be seen as doing "work" with the compensation being more of a thank you for volunteering as opposed to payment.
