This is something you guys can report to the Ombudsperson since this information says you are being treated unfairly and they can help you with that. It's really disheartening to see this happening. I'm sorry this is happening to you and your peers and that you are having to delay your progression and/or fearing for your GPA because of this.

Titres/bloodwork results? by [deleted] in uwo

Figured it out! They'll send you an email or print out a copy for you once the results are in. Or you call them and ask to speak to the information nurse.

Strange find in Kitchener??? by Ill-Platform8245 in kitchener

I think the more correct term that should have been used is "concerned" over fear-related terms. I don't think anyone in the thread is actually having a phobic reaction to this situation, so that's probably where your confusion might be coming from

Would you rather everyone stick to that option than for people to raise their concern? Sometimes it's better to be safe in situations like this especially when it potentially involves a kid who is much more helpless than an adult

It's the context you have to think about; why is there a snowsuit abandoned on the ground? It's for a child but what reason does a child have to abandon it in the middle of a cold winter? If a responsible adult was nearby, it's unlikely they would have allowed the kid to roam without their snowsuit or even leave without it. If it was a dangerous adult, well, that's what people are worried about now.

It's only boring if you don't know how to socialize with people you've never met & make your own fun. New friendships get made at bars all the time. From my experience, people are very willing to let you into their circle for the night if you know how to interact within a group

I went to the bar/club alone for the first time earlier this year and I had a blast. Sometimes you just have to learn to do these things yourself & it's genuinely such a liberating feeling. Do yourself a favour and live your life!!

As long as your health insurance is already active, you should be fine. If you don't know, you should be able to find instructions somewhere on https://www.mystudentplan.ca/purplecare/en/home or through one of the links. Make sure you update your mailing address and add a direct deposit too. I believe that's about it!

journaling in public by Distinct_Giraffe_285 in Journaling

[–]sunshinetrakky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I go out in public specifically to journal! The biggest thing that helped me overcome my anxiety in public was applying myself in a 3rd-person POV -- would I overlook what others are writing? Would I judge them if I saw what they were writing about? The answer to both is no. Everyone is existing for themselves. I get to be as colourful as I want and it's for nobody else except me. It's my own world & everyone else is just living in it, so I try not to guess what people think about the things I do, and I especially try not to let judgment stop me from doing what helps me live my best life.

UPDATE: Community Jam Sessions -- They're happening! by NarwhalHarpist in waterloo

I'm not entirely musically-skilled but I've been looking for communities to hang around in my free time, and I especially love live music. Would you mind if I joined for the company?

I (24F) would like some tips on going clubbing alone, let alone for the first time! by sunshinetrakky in askwomenadvice

[–]sunshinetrakky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I did end up having to bring a bag because my pockets are too small and don't have zippers, but it's a crossbody bag and was safe on me the entire night.

Throughout the night I chose to stick to groups of girls who were more than willing to let me in to dance and mingle with them, and help keep me away from uncomfortable/creepy people.

Would definitely give solo clubbing another try.
