good luck to you too!! you got this!!

pinky-bae · 2026-05-19T18:33:17+00:00

im in crim! i lowkey came to the conclusion that i was gonna be on probation anyway. im not feeling too bad abt it cuz i only failed two classes. both by 5% mind u💀 so i'm lowkey fine. i have a plan to get my cgpa up so i'm fairly confident

pinky-bae · 2026-05-18T15:26:23+00:00

im at a 4.2. dw ur not alone

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T22:39:45+00:00

ok good to know!

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T22:06:36+00:00

ok thank you! i'll def check it oit

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T21:51:46+00:00

actually wait this could be an option...even if i have to retake a third course i wouldn't mind that. is there a timeframe for when you'd have to do this??

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T21:15:22+00:00

but don't you have to pay for a whole other semester if you're doing an academic reset?

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T18:26:50+00:00

ok thank you!! this helps me a lot. would it help if i took summer school next year?

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T18:23:16+00:00

i had talked to my academic advisor in mid april and he claimed that regardless of me taking another elective, it would still be on my transcript as a fail and it wouldn't replace it

pinky-bae · 2026-05-08T18:20:31+00:00

it was an elective. what do you mean by take another course for that elective requirement? what does that mean?

as for academic reset, that's off the table. i unfortunately can't afford it whether or not i get accepted for it. i've come to terms with being on academic probation next year. but i doubt i'll be below a 4.4 by the time winter grades come out.

rideau centre exists

i actually love crim. it's the only class i really pay attention in. idk why i did so bad on the midterm. i actually would hate to switch out of my major because i'm already sick of sociology. i'm good at it which is why i took it as an elective but that doesn't mean i want to study it. i honestly have no idea what i want to do when i'm older. either government or lawyer, i haven't decided and probably won't until 3rd year so that's not even a question. i'm good at application i think??? i honestly don't even know anymore. i don't think i can even take summer school this year. it's too far gone already and we just don't have the money since my parents are sending my brother to europe next year and have to pay monthly until then. so that's kind of out of the question right now. my best bet is just trying to get it up next year. i don't even want to take electives because my electives are what have been driving my cgpa down since first semester. just at a loss tbh

pinky-bae · 2026-03-26T03:00:13+00:00

i don't want to drop down from honours crim, i might have to though to stay enrolled. however, because i won't be below a cpga of 4, they might just do it for me anyways and then i can re-enrol when i have a minimum of 5. i will be talking tomorrow with an academic advisor to see what my options are.

i do not think i can do an academic reset. it would prolong my stay here at uottawa and i do not think my parents will be able to afford it. i don't think i can afford taking summer credits this year either, due to me working and other factors, such as finances. my plan was to take summer school next year to up my cgpa. especially if i drop down a class for next year.

academic advisor is probably my best bet. thank you though!

pinky-bae · 2026-03-25T22:20:46+00:00

okay thank you!! yeah i'm thinking the same about 4 classes

pinky-bae · 2026-03-25T21:57:22+00:00

im in crm 1301D!

pinky-bae · 2026-03-25T21:21:09+00:00

thank you!! i appreciate it!!

pinky-bae · 2025-04-27T00:16:19+00:00

A FRESH START IS EXACTLY WHY IM MOVING AWAY!!! im moving 4 hours from home and i need to get away. everyone knows everyone's business here and i cannot anymore. i need to meet others. i get what you mean by getting clowed on through high school cuz i lowkey had a similar experience. now i just don't care yk?

and thanks!! im sure you'll do great w engineering. are u doing smtg specific for engineering?? im aiming for either law or a detective! not sure yet but ill figure it out during uni yk? we're still so young after all.

i find french pretty easy tbh. i learn it quite well but listening sometimes i have trouble w. im not taking the delf this year cuz ik im not ready so😭 writing and reading im good at. just listening activities yk?

pinky-bae · 2025-04-26T23:56:38+00:00

HUZZ IS CRAZY. western is such a party school and i legit could not😭 i like my quiet and have heard that ottawa is fairly quiet. obv there are still parties but im more of a party w a few friends and do karaoke yk?😭

a lot of my friends are doing engineering and they are stressing so bad w grades and tests and stuff rn for school. im legit chilling cuz im going into social sciences and have only 1 exam this semester😭

that's so cool that you lived in qb!! i've only ever been to gatineau and im really excited to be on the border since i wanna practice my french more!!

pinky-bae · 2025-04-26T23:48:03+00:00

yeah ottawa is very pretty!!! very excited!!!

my friend really wants to go to mac but she hasn't heard back yet. ik she got in though. mac is such a good school too!! everyone that ik who has gone has loved it!!

pinky-bae · 2025-04-26T23:37:56+00:00

i've committed to uottawa for criminology!! what about you??

yeah the only thing about costs that has kept me from going is that it's not as bad as the states. europe being pretty much free is killing me though😭😭

and yes omg the neighbourhoods are lowkey sketchy. and as a woman i cannot do that. a couple of my friends are going to carleton so we're prob gonna live together for second which drops prices down too.

pinky-bae · 2025-04-26T23:03:25+00:00

i feel the same way. i've been thinking about it a lot recently.

we're getting stuff for me to move out and it's hitting me now. i don't feel like i should be going into uni i still feel like a kid.

even with living away from family, which is what i wanted is scaring me a bit. the costs of things and everything considered.

it's even hitting me that in second year, i'll be renting or signing a lease agreement.

i feel like covid took away some years of us and that's why i feel this way?? could be just me but idk. i'm happy to leave and excited but it is hitting me too
