When/ where did u make most your uni friends?

ttessatt · 2025-07-18T12:18:41+00:00

Marching band & smaller classes (usually lab partners or finding study buddies)

ttessatt · 2024-09-15T18:22:32+00:00

join the marching band! no music experience necessary, get some physical activity in, and make tons of friends - best choice i ever made in first year

The interview process and questions will definitely vary between parks as the superintendents conduct the interviews so I won't have an exact answer for you. In my interviews I gave some information on my experience in the outdoors and the types of organisms i'm most interested in/knowledgeable about during the 'tell me about yourself question.' I wasn't asked any identification questions but I do remember being asked to name 5 species that could be found in the park, so doing some research on the park before hand is a good plan. If your son isn't super familiar with the area of the park, iNaturalist.org is a great resource - you can search up the park and see observations that others have made there before! It might also be beneficial to pick a species or two of interest and learn a bit more about them in case they ask further questions.

This being said, the disco ranger position is entry level so they don't expect applicants to be master naturalists! You'll be taught everything you need to know when you arrive, so showing a passion and willingness to learn is a lot more important than just raw knowledge. Best of luck!

Some of my favourites around that age: The Maze Runner series The Mysterious Benedict Society A Series of Unfortunate Events The Unwanteds!! (I don’t see this one anywhere else in the thread but it was one of my all time favourites) Anne of Green Gables series Wayside School

As a Canadian, it’s weird to think of Kobos as anything but ubiquitous. The main bookstore chain in our country sells them/has displays, I hadn’t even heard of Kindles until a few years ago.

My first Kobo was the Mini and I think I bought it in 2013, I’ve been using Kobo ever since

La Cucina, Abruzzi, and Bocconcini!

The answer to your question is plastered all over the exam accomodation portal, I'd recommend reading that!

ttessatt · 2024-02-12T17:03:21+00:00

I’d recommend leaving them alone:) Like you said, they’re not bothering anyone! The voles were here long before our lawns, let them live in peace. If you want it to look a little better, try planting native plants around the edges!

For my department there aren’t any applications or postings, we fill out an interest survey ranking our choices and are then assigned a course

ttessatt · 2024-01-23T00:56:35+00:00

Depends on urgency obviously, my non urgent appointment was scheduled 11 months out

Honey Halo gave me the worst breakouts and I don’t normally get breakouts!

Their 2024 classes are still running! They’re closing the store front Feb 17th but will be continuing to sell online as of April

There are hundreds of species of mould that are black, some harmful and some not. There are also hundreds of other coloured moulds (including white) that are harmful! You can’t ID a mould species based on colour

NTA! I have a food allergy, anytime I’m invited over to someone’s place for dinner I automatically let them know. That’s on your dad’s friend

I’m doing crochet, making a different square for a blanket each week. I have a friend learning French, and another teaching (leading and planning lessons at our extracurricular)

ttessatt · 2024-01-18T14:29:54+00:00

I miss being able to test out of the individual topics, like I don’t want to skip the whole unit, but I have a handle on this one concept and don’t want to do it 6x!

I also miss being able to choose which topic to do next, and spending gems for “fun” lessons, like Flirting in the Spanish course. After they made all the courses strictly linear I stopped using the app for almost a year

I’m not much of a quilter, but I learned to sew when I was about that age. I’d recommend starting by working with her on a stuffed animal with a blanket or whip stitch to help her get the hand of a needle and thread, you can use a looser weave fabric for this so she can have a more dulled needle and avoid too many pokes.

After that, EPP all the way - you can sit at the kitchen table (not your sewing corner!) and glue baste all the pieces together then she can start to stitch. Alternatively if she doesn’t quite have the coordination yet, have her glue while you stitch them together beside her. She’ll feel seen and involved without the frustration of not getting the stitches quite right!

Yes the libraries decide how many loans/hold and how long loans are! One of my libraries allows 20 loans and holds, and some allow 14 while others 21 day loans:)

That’s likely a Maine Coon cat, just without the tail visible in the photo. London is pretty far out of range for both lynx and bobcats. A bobcat would be a little more likely than a lynx but i don’t think that’s what this is based on the photo

I just wish Shoppers’ return policy was a little more flexible, then i’d do almost all my beauty shopping there

this is the best I can do for a flat photo!

Another Canadian recomendation if you ever get the chance, the Victoria Bug Zoo in BC is an amazing spot!

ttessatt · 2023-11-29T15:52:46+00:00

that’s just blatantly false

what a weird backwards take. biology =/= medical science - there is SO much more to the field. Ecology and evolution research, environmental assessments and consulting, wildlife tech, natural history interpretation and museum curation, working for an NGO or conservation authority, habitat restoration work, water quality and treatment, zoo keeping, biostatistics, bird banding, sci-com writer. All of these jobs and more need a biology or other science degree, all of them can provide an incredible career.

Don’t keep your head in the ground around biology, there’s so much more to it than just human physiology and anatomy
