Gen Sci - biology

Hello! I’m coming to queens for gen sci! I’m not really sure how the program works yet. I know after first year I get to declare my specialization. But can you specialize again in the specialization you chose before? It may be confusing but I’m thinking of doing biology, but I’m really into more metabolism, genetics and molecular biology, rather than the animal/plant/evolution bio. And I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere on the Queen website that maybe you can specialize again into something called genetics and molecular biology. Is anyone a biology student at queens and how did it work for you?

whats the difference in Major vs. Honours vs. Spec from gen sci

i just accepted my gen sci offer cause i got waitlisted for life sci queens. and i keep seeing that from gen sci you can choose either Major vs. Honours vs. Spec, which all have different gpa needed to get in. What exactly is the difference and how much harder is it to get into eachone. How hard would it be from a gen sci perspective to go into life sci as a honours?

How competitive is Life Sci from gen sci?

Hello! I just accepted my gen sci offer because I got waitlisted for life sci. i was super disappointed because i wasn't expecting it and life sci was my dream program , i love all the courses they offer in the later years. But now im seeing it is super hard to declare life sci after ur first semester. I'm just kinda freaking out cause i really like the program in second year and not sure what else I would choose if I can't get in. Where can I see the possible courses to take for gen sci and the requirements for the other specialties? And realistically how difficult is it to declare life sci after ur first semester?

Two ish months after breakup

He broke up with me about a two months ago. He broke up with me because he describe us as comfortable and familiar , and because we were in love and happy we did realize that he wouldn’t be happy in the future. When we fought, which wasn’t often , it was typically about our emotional languages since they would clash and cause us to hurt each other.

We would talk about them maturely and try to fix it, and while there was improvement throughout the two years, it was still not enough. The day that he broke up with me he told me he still loves me and that he knows that I will find someone better for me, and it’s best for both of us. He ensured me he is not breaking up with me because he fell out of love. Eitherway he insisted that we leave the door open to be friends, and since then we have had limited contact. However recently , I’ve been hearing and noticing what and how he has been doing.

He’s been distracting himself a lot. When I do see him sometimes (rarely), it’s inconsistent how he may act towards me. I feel like I’ve been doing a good job at staying neutral every time I see him, but something is different and he seems fine but at the same time off. I feel like he’s doing his best to get rid of his feelings but the ways he’s been doing it I guess I’ve been taking a bit personal and sometimes I can’t help to think that he’s already over me because he’s out there able to have fun when I’ve been staying inside and chilling.

I just needed to rant a bit and would like to hear other people’s opinions on this.

things to know before reading invitation to a beheading

i've never read any of nabokov's novels before and i've heard that invitation to a beheading is very surreal and dreamlike? I'm not really sure to what to except while reading and is it a difficult read? What should I keep in mind while reading to make sure I understand his ideas?

Me and my ex dated for 2 years and broke up about a month ago. It was a amicable, mature and logical breakup. We loved each other so much but both knew it wasn't enough for the future since we weren't very emotionally compatible and with us doing long distance in a couple months he decided it would be best for us to break up now. Either way, this week has been fine and I've been doing things i've been doing everyday but gosh i feel like i have dark clouds over me all the time. No matter what i may be doing, deep down i still feel kind of heavy in my heart and I still miss him so much. It's like i don't even know what it is or how i feel because in my brain I've accepted it but I still feel like this after a month. Is anyone going through something similar??
