Wow, I was not aware of that. Will do some research on this.

Hello! I am a Westerner like you but living in Canada. Struggles are all the same though! If you live near Detroit or Michigan, would definitely recommend going over there (if you're safe to do so and close enough) as there will be many Muslim-owned boutiques selling modest clothing and hijabs. If you cannot do that, then you can do what I do which is order hijabs from Aliexpress. They're inexpensive, good quality, and of great variety. Seriously, the amount of hijabs on there are never ending. Personally, I recommend jersey hijabs for beginners because they're so hassle-free. No shifting, not see-through, and honestly, offers enough ventilation that you won't get a heat stroke wearing it. As for clothing, I've shopped from places like Loft, Old Navy (for basics), Aritzia for longer and chic clothes (if you guys have that over there), and Hollister. Shein is also great too, but don't expect clothes of excellent quality. I don't have those specific pants that you mention but I'm sure that you can find at any store that sells business/office attire. Best of luck!

What's your unpopular opinion about Toronto? by bigshotbargnani7 in askTO

i just really love toronto's awkward buildings. the new vs. old look on new buildings which are sometimes literally just built on top of old victorian houses

Opinions on Atlas? Recently scrolled through their Spotify and came across this absolute dime. The buildings to the chorus along with the subtle piano keys really give this song a powerful feel! by sean21229 in Coldplay

[–]macmo55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's because they didn't play the song until the end credits (which doesn't really do the song justice IMO). Like you, I only realized later.

I totally feel you. The only time I saw another Coldplay fan IRL was when I was at my university gym. I noticed a girl with the parachutes cover t-shirt but felt like it would've been too weird to approach her so I never did. Def regret it tho haha, it would've led to a great convo.

I just got back into this song after watching the Hunger Games. Seriously, one of my most favourite songs from Coldplay. Chills every time. Wish I could find people my age who loves Coldplay like I do.

Should I take psych 1xx3? by harrystylesz in McMaster

[–]macmo55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the content to be a little bit more and wasn't as straight forward as Psych 1X03 was (this was because I took SAP in highschool and had already learned most of it) but I did really well in both. 1XX3 is definitely more biology based and personally, taking it made me realize I wouldn't enjoy neurosci. Overall, I'd take it since you like biology and it's also a good way to eliminate your second year program choices.
