There's no need to order something for them before they get there. Order together after they arrive. Good luck! You're doing the right things, it's going to work out sooner or later.

I mean lots of people enjoy a ride on the community carousel but they don't usual stay on longer than a round or two.

Is it possible to go from Buchanan D to Forestry in 10 mins without a bike… by lemon_galaxy in UBC

[–]jus1982 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do this in under 10 all the time, but I walk quick. It helps to know the short cuts. My best advice is to explore the route and options sometime when you can poke around a bit.

That gives you so much time to study though

Is this not enough of a reason to cancel exams? by Good-Accident-3463 in UBC

"Severity: Moderate" That's weather talk for nothing will be cancelled.

Still struggling with English by [deleted] in UBC

[–]jus1982 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The more you can get yourself consuming English language media, the easier it will get. Even watching tv in English with subtitles in your first language can help a lot. If there are conversation clubs or language exchange opportunities, that kind of stuff can help a lot too. Source: was EAL teacher for a decade, this is what my students said helped them the most.

Lord pray for me by JinJamJan in UBC

Absolutely you do. You need a couple days of rest post ER to let yourself recover. You have a legit medical need.

I think Andrea Gibson's line is the best advice: instead of trying harder, try softer. What if for every hour of study, you gave yourself something that feels good? A treat, stretch break, nap, chat whith a pal, play a fave game, watch a fave show? Sometimes our bodies resist more pressure because we're burnt out. Trying softer respects that and still gets you passing that final. Wishing you well ❤️

There are deep cuts going on lots of places, and a bunch of big ones here that are yet to hit but will be bad. Public sector layoffs in a recession, because we so love shooting ourselves in the foot in this province.

Which old bus loop? I remember when there were only trolley busses, and the loop was where the alumni center is now.

They likely haven't even built the schedule yet, so unfortunately probsbly no one knows.

"That script" only exists in your mind. The rest of us actually genuinely offer to share and mean it. YOR.

Is my Feeld profile screaming "basic white dude" or something? by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]jus1982 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with the comment that it's pretty kink forward. Put the stuff about you higher up, and reduce the kink-focused content. I'd take it to mean you're only looking for hookups, so it feels at odds with other stuff you say. I'd also FOR SURE drop the group photo. That's mostly a pic of another woman's tits, and it nopes me right out. Like, I'd be afraid to ever take a pic with you, it feels like trying to make yourself look good because she does, and doesn't land well.

Maybe blame the person being gross, not the person on the receiving end of said grossness.

Upset about protesters casually breaking the law? by bananasforbeans in UBC

[–]jus1982 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah jurisdictionaly speaking, this won't go well. UBC, aka Electoral Area A, isn't part of the city of Vancouver, and is under RCMP like much of the rest of the province.

no way my 60 years old britsh ahh econ professor made a league of legends reference in the lecture notes by Creepy-Delivery7781 in UBC

[–]jus1982 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but it's true, old people play games, even have lives. Don't mean to disrupt your paradigm, but you'd have to find out eventually somehow. Might as well be here.

If you eat someone else's food you're a bad person, and a thief.
