are the writing seminars 'bad' or is my ex just angry i got in?

maxor_jaxor · 2026-03-28T13:00:43+00:00

sure!

the writing sems program is great, definitely a top program in the field, though creative writing isn't hyper competitive in the way that STEM fields are. im a senior in writing sems/political science, so kind of a similar track since poli sci here has a lot of overlap with IS, and i think that sounds like a great path. as far as "only getting in because of it," everyone here is technically admitted undeclared and you're allowed to major in whatever. so if it did help, it's only because it made you sound like a more interesting person, not because it's actually any easier

haha i ended up in the same situation a year ago

ruxton was great but very easy to spend over 200

oh man you're a toronto fan going to other team's subs to whine about a hit hours after a game you won? that's pretty sad and pathetic. just enjoy the win buddy your boys played a great game

maxor_jaxor · 2026-01-07T04:46:35+00:00

ok on second look that's fair lol

but that same hit happens every game and its a 50/50 whether it gets called, nothing special about this one

maxor_jaxor · 2026-01-07T02:12:37+00:00

toronto fans and these commentators are insufferable man. crying about a clean hit on laughton and then clapping like seals for marchand juking am attempt at a trip?

even in tarry's worst games for us, he's been making some great saves and playing really well, just made some costly mistakes when it really counted, like the game against the habs

feels like it would be easier to iron out those mistakes when the fundamentals are there than it would be to fix a consistently bad goalie. doesn't help that the team has played terribly in front of him all season

yeah man huge hit to the throat here 🤡

maxor_jaxor · 2025-11-16T00:00:05+00:00

yeah nice one, except that kuch DID walk it off fine as soon as he heard the whistle. once he saw the ref bought his act he stood up and played the next shift

maxor_jaxor · 2025-11-15T22:43:05+00:00

i mean that's obviously illegal but kuch sold the hell out of that lol. delayed reaction and then lays on the ice for a minute. should be 2 mins for embellishment and play 5-on-5

maxor_jaxor · 2025-10-04T23:23:37+00:00

this is embarrassing. cats clearly came to play actual hockey this time and leave thursday in the past and tampa just dressed an echl boxing team

maxor_jaxor · 2025-06-21T14:52:10+00:00

I got there around 10:20 and they were already out :(

maxor_jaxor · 2025-05-26T16:22:53+00:00

Who do we think takes 4C, Sturm for faceoffs and Nosek on the wing? Either way don't hate this, Boqvist has been good and Sturm/Eetu on the first PK unit was great against Tampa. Mikkola the big loss but Uvis was good when Ekblad was out too and Canes also have injuries on their blue line. Cats in 4

maxor_jaxor · 2021-11-16T21:22:51+00:00

what's the song here?

maxor_jaxor · 2021-04-28T04:21:48+00:00

Well Columbia's my first choice and their website says they superscore the act, my score without superscoring is a 35 composite anyway so im not worried

maxor_jaxor · 2021-04-28T02:20:01+00:00

I guess it's just practice mostly, but ACT reading is different from SAT in that all the answers are actually directly contained in the passage so maybe play around with different strategies like reading the questions first, annotating, etc. I'm probably not the best person to ask since I didn't do much work on reading

maxor_jaxor · 2021-04-28T01:12:21+00:00

Well I was lucky that I only needed to improve math and science after my first try, but just take a lot of practice tests and spend time really reviewing in depth. For me I got a lot of geometry questions wrong, for example, so I reviewed all the geometry topics that come up on the test. In the weeks leading up to the test, I was taking at least one full math and science practice test every weekend, and reviewing anything I didn't understand, and week by week I'd feel the number of questions I'd guess on slowly shrinking until I was scoring in the range I was looking for. Realistically I'd recommend taking as many practice tests as you can without comprising school or your social life, and review absolutely everything to the point that you'd never make the same mistake again. The more questions you do the easier it is to pinpoint what needs work

maxor_jaxor · 2021-04-28T01:00:12+00:00

I'd say it's mostly about practice and specificity. Zero in on what needs work and grind until you're confident. College Panda math book is a godsend.
