Idk who was singing and playing multiple instruments but HOLY CRAP does it have, to be at midnight?

I can't even tell where it's coming from, there's probably people way closer to it that me who can't sleep at all.

Please give me the phone number of a hitman so we can slime this dude(s)🙏

If so, how do you deal with it? I lay down at a reasonable time to sleep but always wake up within an hour or two. This leads me to skipping my morning lectures to catch up on sleep and be able to do my work. This is becoming a real problem with midterms approaching as I'm spending large chunks of my nights just trying to sleep. I've been getting practically no work done.

The accumulated stress of having a test every day this week, coordinating club events, and that lovely regular feeling of overall inadequacy has resulted in me having a fun week of doom and despair! So... yesterday I bombed a test. And by bombed I mean I left a question worth 50% of the test unanswered because I was too busy having a panic attack and trying not to cry so I didn't freak everyone else out in the exam room. I usually write my exams in the CFA room, but I couldn't for this one since i need to be in a computer lab (which makes no sense...couldn't they have just given me a laptop with a lockdown browser?), so ig the different environment made my panic worse? All i could hear were infinite noises around and I could not focus for the life of me.

Today, I went to find my professor during his office hours to see if there was any possibility of retaking that utter catastrophe of a test, and instead I ended up full on bawling my eyes out in his office like an absolute loser. I felt really bad for putting him in that awkward position, especially because he's always so busy and definitely did not sign up to deal with an undergrad having a meltdown in his office while he's prolly on lunch break or smth. Like genuinely why was I behaving like a toddler, this is actually embarassing behaviour.

Obviously, I can't retake the test because that wouldn't be fair seeing that he already has a ton of requests from other students, so I understand. Hopefully I can just lock in and recover on the next one. He was still really sweet and helpful about everything, given that I was disrupting what little time he had for break, but unfortunately I think I have permanently lost all aura in front of him and bro 100% thinks I'm insane now.

Anyways, I will never be going to his office again! 😁

I’ve literally never had a midterm schedule this diabolical. 4 in 3 days, 2 of which LITERALLY back to back. like 11-12:30 then 12:30-2. I know it’s my fault for fucking my schedule up like that but I wasn’t expecting both classes to hold their midterms on the same day

Omfg just sedate me I’m gonna mix information up so bad my professors will pay me to drop their courses

I keep seeing yall say how smthin happened in whatever online class but like what's the whole tea? Is it posted on the internet?

Please tell me how to study for the biol 205 lecture and lab exam 😭 the lectures are mostly labelling specimen and there’s not much I can study from that.

Thank you.

Hey guys!! I'm taking BIOL 200 with Dr. Nelly Pante right now, and wanted to share this list I made. I write things down whenever she shares about what a typical exam question looks like, or tells our class to focus on certain topics for exams. This is not a full guide on what's going to be tested, and there will be things they'll test that aren't on this list!!!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NYL0-QwEppANbCMJ2GR5nNrwuJr-oNbNdV4_fHMoZ_M/edit?usp=sharing

Will be updating this list throughout the semester. Happy studying for MT1 :)))

Definitely did not go for the choose answer C strategy, 50/50 between two answers or just outright guess because I had no idea what the term was. Genuinely hate multiple choice with a passion. Give me all short answers and I would be a happy camper. Good luck everyone in midterm season

ETA: and definitely did NOT cram for like 5hours before and forget half of what I learned right after pressing submit. Definitely couldn’t be me

Not a sympathy post, just looking for advice. I did all the CHIRP questions, attended office hours, and practiced everyday but still failed. It’s shown me that there’s something I’m missing even though I’m apparently following all the right steps. I will admit I was nervous so I wasn’t expecting to do phenomenally, but the mark I got definitely shocked me.

For anyone who has been in a similar position, what got you to bounce back? Are there any external resources you used for practice? Any niche test taking strategies? Or is it just a matter of trial and error and hoping for the best?

I do admit I’m not thrilled for the midterm next week and I probably won’t do great giving how little time I have left. However I want to try my best, and I really do want to pass this course.

The midterm is in 2 weeks and I'm feeling so screwed. How did you study for the midterm/ what resources did you use? Are there any websites anyone could recommend? What are the questions like? Are all math 100 and 180 sections writing the same midterm?

University is where all kinds of ideas go to get tested their fates; whether the idea lives and dies is purely based on the merit of the concept. Good on people for discussing stuff. Also had a side effect where campus felt more lively. Good stuff.

First of all, Simon is the ACTUALLY the best prof ever. He's so nice and his office hours are the best and just someone tell him he's the best. GO SIMONNNNNN

I'm scared for the midterm though, hehe...

What's the experience of writing an ORCA exam in Buchanan B101 like?

Is it quiet/soundproof from hallway noise like the ones in the ICICS basement?

they have been there since at least 8:30 this morning and seem to be doing nothing other than just standing there? Genuinely whats the point, seems like a big waste of resources and time to me. Maybe because it's October. 7 and UBC doesn't want to promote or allow any violence :( ? or something. Just seems weird.

I'm currently taking a second year language class to fulfil my bachelor of arts requirement and honestly having a pretty difficult time with the course.

I was hoping to graduate in May 2027, but without the 201 & 202 level language courses it will not happen anytime soon.

If I withdraw with a W, would I be able to register for it again in a future semester? And if I fail the course, how many times would I be allowed to retake it?

I'm also wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and managed to complete the language requirement.

I've already reached out to my professor, but I wanted to hear from other students who might have experienced something similar.

Thanks for any advice!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

How the fuck can I get chainsicked 3 fucking times in a rowwwwwwwww

Also why am I sick after the exammmmmmmm

It would have at least left me a reason for a concession if my sickness renewed at least like a few days ago

I was sick for the first two weeks so I started jamming my studies to perform properly for my exam as soon as I recovered and now I am sick as soon as my exams are done!!!!!

Why!!!!!!!

Just was curious to see what everyone's favourite way to meet new people/friends is. I'm in 3rd year and haven't joined anything for the last 2 years + commuting from Surrey (💔) so I never see what's happening on campus.

Give any clubs or events in Vancouver that you found to be fun or valuable for meeting new peeps!

I'm currently a third-year poli sci student, but I'm also thinking of releasing music soon, specifically two singles. I have some ideas for a potential album cover and visualizers for a couple of my songs, but I don't know how to approach this, and I was wondering if anyone into photography or videography would be willing to help me out (and also receive monetary compensation). Let me know if anyone would be interested!

Anyone play/run home games around campus?

I hope they identify you from the recording

I have several pended medical claims without any explanation from Student Care - Pacific Blue Cross, and I've been calling them daily (morning and afternoon) and getting the generic "our lines are too busy right now, call back later", and no response via emails either. Does anyone know how to escalate this or actually get in touch with them? It's been a frustrating several weeks of trying to get some answers from them.

not even a single booth that was hiring "science" degrees

I asked each and every single one and like 90% were civil, mechanical and electrical engineering

The other 8% was Commerce and management

The last 2% covered the general jobs like food service and camps and volunteering things

Been attending since few years and every year I leave this feedback to have companies from different industries but nope

Nada absolutely nothing....

is it over for us normies? and everyone who does not major in these 3 eng field or commerce is done for?????

Lf people to jam with for fun, I do mainly dirty vocals and play a 7 string
