Guys, I’m a transfer student with 5 transfer credits, so my course registration isn’t until July 13 even though I’m basically taking first-year CHYS courses.

So I was planning everything out to send to my academic advisor to double-check, and imagine my face when I realized almost every decent time is already FULL. 😭 Like… genuinely what the fuck.
I cannot be doing 6:30–8:00 p.m. classes or 5:00–7:00 p.m. classes, especially in the winter.

I know first-years straight out of high school registered on June 25, so that’s probably why everything filled up, but I feel like they really did me dirty by giving me a July 13 registration date when I’m doing the exact same courses.

I emailed my academic advisor anyway to ask if there’s any possibility of getting into the earlier sections because this is honestly ridiculous and it’s stressing me outtt

Has anyone else dealt with this as a transfer student (or even not as a transfer student)? Did more spots eventually open up, or was there anything you were able to do?
End rant lol

Hey guys - title pretty much sums it up lol.
I have ERSC 1p94 as my top pick but also hearing the ASTRs are easy too.
Anyone else have good//easy suggestions or even ones to stay away from?

I just really am not a science or math person and the selections are so off putting as a CHYS major lol

Thanks everyone hope we all get what our top picks are!!

Maybe it’s because I’m older now, but does anyone else feel like Christi comes across a lot harsher on BTTB than they remembered?

I completely understand there’s a ton of history between her and Melissa, and nobody is saying Melissa was perfect. But at some point I find myself thinking, “Okay, we get it.” Melissa, for the most part, seems to speak pretty highly of everyone publicly. Whether that’s genuine or not, she at least keeps it positive online.

I’ve also been rewatching some Pillow Talk and it kind of gives me the same vibe. Sometimes the comments just seem unnecessarily snarky. Like people always joke about Jill being Jill, but some of Christi’s comments make me cringe way more.

I’ve also noticed Kelly’s reactions. She rarely directly disagrees, but there are definitely moments where it feels like she just lets a comment sit there, changes the subject, or doesn’t really add to it. It’s subtle, but once I noticed it I couldn’t stop seeing it.

Before the Christi fans come for me, this isn’t a “Melissa good, Christi bad” post. I just think BTTB has made me see some of these dynamics differently than I did when I was younger.

Anyone else feel this way?

I’m currently enrolled for CHYS at Brock this sep (transfer from college so will be 2nd year) and have been thinking about switching to Criminology

My end goal is still Teachers College, and from what I understand they mainly care that you have an undergraduate degree, good GPA, and any required prerequisites

But… I’m really interested in topics like incarceration, probation, substance use, rehabilitation, and the justice system, which is what’s making me consider Crim. That said, I still enjoy CHYS content too

I also already have a 2-year ECE diploma and completed placements, so I have classroom experience and a background in child development and education

Part of me also feels like I’d be happier with “just” a Criminology degree if I end up not doing Teachers College for whatever reason, but I’m not sure which degree is more “useful” overall lol.

For anyone in CHYS, Crim, or who has switched between them, what would you do in my position? Do you think it’s worth switching, or should I stick with CHYS if teaching is still the goal?

Thanks guys end yap

When “being naturally skinny” finally failed me. I’m 22, turning 23 around 5’3 at the end of the year, and yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw nearly 185 lbs. Deep down, I already knew, but seeing the number still hit hard. I can barely stand to look at myself anymore. Everything aches, I’m constantly tired, and I don’t recognize the person staring back at me. Even after I turned 17, if I paid SOME attention to what I ate and stayed SOMEwhat active, I never weighed more than around 140 lbs. By the end of 2023, I was probably 150–160 lbs, but from 2024 to now the weight has piled on so quickly. I wake up craving fast food, and nothing kills those cravings until I’m at McDonald’s. I used to be a decent swimmer, but now I’m out of breath after 50 metres like an old crazy dog. I know bodies change as we get older, but this feels like more than that. It feels like I’ve become a stranger to myself. A soul occupying a body I despise. My friends see it, my partner- definitely my family. Idk who I’ve become and every attempt at SOME form of “change” is a failed one- to say the least. It’s really funny because I never thought I could be fat. And to be honest I probably have laughed and scoffed at overweight people in my past. Here I am now.
End rant.
