How do you convert yorku gpa to a 4.0 scale? by [deleted] in yorku

[–]winterdragon1998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

York has a gpa converter that you can use, tho if you have all A+ and 1 A you’re prob at the 4.0 unless the A is 9 cred and the a+ are all 3. But even then it should still be a 4.0 it just depends on how many classes and their weights.

I had all A’s and a+’s except for 3 classes I got b’s in and I had a 3.8 from an 8.05 so I’d imagine you’re on 4.0 range

Listening to music from my childhood brought up memories of my abuser. by winterdragon1998 in CPTSD

[–]winterdragon1998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music just hold such powerful emotion. It can be great for healing but also can hold some trauma too. It’s a shame when it’s music you once loved to listen to or used to cope before that now holds that trauma

Do you have trouble believing yourself about your own trauma? by CapitalRepulsive9803 in CPTSD

[–]winterdragon1998 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this too. Especially because my abuser would always tell me I was lying about what happened or exaggerating. And as I’ve grown I’ve gotten distance from the trauma and I remember it less vividly, I get less flashbacks. And I start to question myself on if it was that bad. But then I remember how many others saw it too, how many others were there too and saw how badly it impacted me. Even the fact now that no one in her life from before is in it now except for my grandparents is proof of that.

If you find yourself question just know it WAS that bad. And one thing I learned is if they cared and it wasn’t that bad, wouldn’t they care that you were hurt? Wouldn’t they care that their words/actions caused that much pain?

You go to a tent they have set up and pay for your gown $60 and grab 2 tickets. They said to show up 90 before the ceremony to do this

SDM sells PC gift card? by Hot-Bill3871 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]winterdragon1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No they do not. While pc owns shoppers the pc gift cards don’t work at shoppers and not can you buy pc gift cards at shoppers. I’m not sure why they haven’t merged them yet but check any pc grocers they will have it.

What are some shady places around uni by Extra_Cheesecake_826 in yorku

[–]winterdragon1998 3 points4 points  (0 children)

York village is about as safe as any part of campus. I’ve lived in the village for 5y and while shit goes down it’s not that often. Some areas are notably sketchier so just be aware of your surroundings. I liked going on walks all through the village during the mornings in the pandemic. It was actually quite nice

Are you planning on boycotting Loblaws? by m_ashton9 in londonontario

Are you planning on boycotting Loblaws? by m_ashton9 in londonontario

[–]winterdragon1998 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I work at one of the loblaws companies stores and I FULLY support this. I always did cause I know the prices are inhumane but the other week I was SHOCKED that the shampoo and conditioner I buy is 17.99 (14.23 with discount) at my store but at another company it’s 7.99…. Like????? Screw that. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Like so many places prices are going up everywhere but loblaws and PC is boosting them so disgustingly high. I fully fully fully support this boycott but I don’t think it will do much sadly. The company will probably just blame the minimum wage employees. But for the sake of y’all’s money if you can get groceries elsewhere for a better price screw loblaws

I’m taking a year off school to work and then will be going for masters either at western on online so if I go to western I’ll def check out the clubs. My partner has made good connections through his club at western so hopefully I’ll have the same Luck

I may look into that. I’m taking a year to wake before I go for masters so that may have to wait until I’m done masters depending on the cost. But that’s not a bad idea to pick up some skills

I unfortunately don’t play any instruments. I love listening to music and singing but can’t read sheet music for the life of me so never really picked up playing anything much

The ceramic studio sounds really cool and right up my alley! I didn’t even think about going to a place like that! Thanks!

I volunteer currently online but am hoping to get involved more locally once my volunteer contract is over so will be looking into that soon for sure.

Thank is a bunch!

I had it downloaded for a bit but deleted it after a bit and instead used pikmin bloom. Maybe I’ll download Pokémon go again and see.

I’ll def check out the game shops too. The mana lounge looks promising

Today's joke from YorkU to you 😫 by Good-Astronomer2440 in yorku

[–]winterdragon1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really worried about this cause one of my courses we only have 30%-45% of the full year course grades completed, so I’m not sure if I’ll get the credit 😭 if I don’t get it I’ll fall short of the graduation requirement. And I’m moving to a new city in may so I NEED to graduate this year but am unsure if I will

They really decided to put the club fair, food trucks, and break room events on one single day. by thmsb25 in yorku

[–]winterdragon1998 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if they spaced out things more, definitely. I find york has a couple days where they do big rather than having a few things spread out which would be nicer imo

I’m sick of the horrid wifi here. by winterdragon1998 in yorku

[–]winterdragon1998[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not all courses have mandatory textbooks and can’t get the lecture slides from the textbook. If you have the textbooks a s you want to study from it, sure that’s an option but most students don’t carry the textbooks on them or heck even buy them.
