I've been talking to some ppl and hearing about their experiences with labs and it's been pretty insightful and helpful. Just wondering if anyone has any other tips for getting to know profs and do some assisting or tech work in labs
Hiii
So I'm starting uni in the fall and wanted to pop out with a brand new look, so I ordered a wig. I don't have a pic right now, but it's black and cut in layers. It's full closure, so there's going to be lace in the front. That's my main concern, because I don't want to show up to school looking like a church auntie or with my lace's reputation preceding me 😫😫 For some context, I have very curly 4c hair, and I don't want to glue the wig to my head so I can access my curls. I will be removing it daily after school.
What should I do?? Do I need to buy lace tint? Any advice will help!
I'm from Alberta, but I occasionally scroll on here because at some point I was interested in Ontario universities. But man, the difference between r/AlbertaGrade12s and this subreddit is so stark. For sure, some people talk about grades that are pretty much guaranteed, but they don't get flamed and roasted on the stake for asking questions. The admission averages in Alberta spiked drastically this year (we had a province wide strike) and people had no problem reassuring others that they would get admission. People also talk about our provincial exam results, celebrating over getting the same answers and sharing tips.
I'd think there would be some form of that solidarity on here considering the fact that Ontario universities have had notoriously unpredictable and insanely low acceptance rates for years. There are students with 98s getting rejected from waterloo and uoft on here and yall are talking about some "clout chasers." Of course, some of them are, but you guys will crucify anyone (I know not everyone is a hater just to be clear). 🥀🥀 My question is why??
Edit: I've talked with some people on here and learned a lot about why some people are bitter. I kind of get it now, and I'm sorry to hear your university admissions system is basically a battleground. Also, I wanted to apologize for grouping all of you together, that was unfair. I wrote this after seeing some really harsh comments on an 11th grader's post who was scared they wouldn't get into Mac health sci or something like that, I just felt that those people were unnecessarily mean (though they were probably just joking like someone mentioned and I'm super dense). Sorry guys, and all the best with your applications! 😭
Is it true that no one talks to each other in SUB and before lectures? My strategy was to sit next to people in lectures and strike up convos, but someone I know who attends said that most people are in the own circles and don't care much to expand them please tell me I'm wrong :(
So In applied back in February for Bsc Psych after sem 1 grades came out. I unfortunately didn't get into the program, although I did get into my second choice. Is it possible for me to get into Bsc Psych in the summer after the dips?
My current marks before diplomas are 98 in social 30, 90 in chem 30, and 88 in Math 31 (I just rewrote something so my mark should be at about 90 or 91 now)
What do you guys think?
Hi! I just graduated from high school and am looking for work I can do over the summer and possibly extend into the next academic school year. I want to get some work experience and cash in my bank account before I start university in the fall, and I thought now would be the perfect time.
Where should I look? I've never had work experience unfortunately, but I am looking for an entry level job anyway. Ideally, I would like to avoid heavy manual labour, but I'm willing to compromise if need be. Any and all advice would be appreciated!
*If you're hiring, or can refer me at a place that is hiring, hmu! 😊
hey yall. im writing chem diploma on friday. Im sitting at a 90 which honestly isn't that great for me. all my test marks are above 90, with electrochem and thermochem on the higher end (ironic huh) but i retested those 2 units after serious studying. Its my quizzes that are draging my grade. I know it will take a lot of work but i want my average to go up after the final (im not too concerned because im already accepted at the u of a, but still). I missed like a week of classes during organic chem so i need to know the important stuff to cover for that. Any advice from fellow 12th graders (or anyone in chem 30?) thanksssss and all the best with the rest of your diplomas! hope we all cooked on social today
I'm trying to switch into bsc psychology as soon as I step foot on campus in the fall. Just wondering about how it will be maintaining a high GPA
Anyone doing it rn what are your tips? Do you really enjoy the major? Thanks!
I'm genuinely fumbling chem rn and its horrifying
I'm at an 87. I know that makes me sound like a horrible person but I'm always a straight 90s+ student. I don't mean to be out of touch, but I haven't had to fight for my life like this in a long time
I really don't want to fumble organic chem, the last unit. Does anyone have any advice for all the other units (especially electro + thermochem), or study guides and notes that helped? I'm planning a ton of retests so I'd really appreciate it.
Yo. My events are 110mH and 100m.
I think I might have injured myself, but I'm not sure how. I had a meet earlier this week, and a few days before that was my first track practice on a real track. I was a bit sore after but was fine. When I came home, I was hyped and decided to hurdle for a while since I didn't get to hurdle at the track. I didn't injure or hit myself, but I was sore as per usually after practice and hurdling made me even more sore. Still, I thought I was chill.
Then I had my meet, and I did well. I won in my events but it was during the 110mH that I started to feel discomfort or sum in my right hamstring (I hurdle with my right leg) but it wasn't horrible. Then I had the 100m. However, midway through the 100, I started to feel it again but worse. When I pushed off the ground with my right foot and then raised my leg past a certain height to get my knee up, it hurt. Had to slow down. Since then, hurts to bend my right leg or lift it straight past a certain height. I can walk on it, just mildly uncomfortable if i fully extend when I walk. My other leg is sore too but I can tell that's just normal meet kind of sore.
I've tried putting it up, using heat (may or may not have burned myself with a hotpack), and stretching.
Has anyone else experienced this? I stretched before my races, did what I normally do. I've never injured myself like this before doing track. Is it because I overdid it by trying to hurdle after my first practice when i was already sore?
For context, I'm like five foot 8 and a half. I've always been athletic and faster than most people my age. Lean. And most importantly, I'm not very injury-prone. Never broken anything in my life, though maybe I've had a strain or too from sports in the distant past.
Advice?
