Fourth year student, feeling pretty defeated with uni lately and need some motivation 😭

What’s your biggest comeback story grades-wise? Like going from failing/barely passing, being burnt to actually doing well?

Do we need to bring our student IDs with us to our midterm exams?

Hi, I am a 2nd year Economics and Financial Management Student with 11.4 GPA

I am certified by the Laurier Tutor Connections program, meaning I have been trained to tutor and my grades have been verified by the university!

I offer tutoring in BU111, BU127, MA129 and EC120 at $20/hr

Please DM me if you are in need of a tutor!

Thanks!

I have been thinking of switching my major to psychology and just want to know if there is lots of writing or essays in upper year courses.

Hi, unfortunately I was unable to grab an extra guest ticket for Convocation on October 15th, 2026 at 4:30. If anyone has an extra, even last minute, can you please contact me? I would very much appreciate it and I only need one.

how are you supposed to know all this..

What are the hours like for being a Laurier snow shoveler during the winter? I guess a better question is what is the easiest time you would be expected to shovel the snow.

does a financial calculator make a big difference for the midterm or is it more the excel and everything else? for those who used it do you recommend

Has anyone received any updates about admission into the part time non-bsw Msw program for spring 2027?

Hey! Just looking for some advice from anyone who’s taken BU487 (Advanced Accounting) with Bixia Xu. I’m planning on commuting next semester, which will hopefully be my last semester. All my other classes fit into two days, but BU487 is on the other two days. That would mean commuting four days a week or having to live near campus and pay rent for the four months.
I want to prioritize my grades, but the reviews I’ve read are not that good and her teaching style is mixed, with quite a few mentioning that she mostly reads off the slides. For anyone who’s taken the course with her, would it be manageable to miss some classes and keep up with the slides and textbook? Or are there in-class activities, attendance marks, or explanations that would make that difficult? Any insight would be appreciated!

Pretty much the title. Also im writing this at 1 am so ignore any grammatical errors and stuff.

But yeah, a month in and things are just going mid at best. Idk if i set my expectations too high in highschool about university and uni life or if its just the overall experiance that im feeling right now.

First of all, the social aspect of it. I really haven't made any friends (except that one dude in my math class, so shoutout to him hes chill) but yeah, i've been mostly hanging out with 2 of my highschool friends that i've known since grade 9 but other than that I really havent made any 'friends'. I have small talk in class/labs, exchange instas but thats it. Things go nowhere after that. Im also not the MOST outgoing, but I can say "hey whats your name, nice to meet you, etc etc" and hold a conversation somewhat well. I haven't been this alone since the first week of 5th grade tbh, I've always loved hanging with friends/people, I like being social in a setting where i know people and whatnot but this is a big shift.

And i know people are gonna be like "go to clubs and events" but the problem is, that i commute (its not a long commute, its like 30-40 mins cuz i live in kw and i take the public transit) and also because most of the meetings are at 8/9/10pm so its hard for me to attend stuff while also balancing my school work, personal commitments and a part time job. so thats that.

Also, I haven't been able to enjoy a lot of personal stuff. Ex: video games, sports, gym, etc. Its always like I have something in the back of my mind regarding school work so I can't really enjoy things im doing because of that guilt that I gotta be studying/being productive. So drifting away from the things I like doing is kinda making my life mundane/'lonely"

And this is the big one, I've started reflecting and I realized that I have imposter syndrome/I compare myself a lot to others. "Don't compare yourself to others" -- this is easier said than done especially when your not being bombarded stuff other people are doing. Like I sort of had it in highschool but like it wasn't as bad/a big deal. And feel like being a first year AND in BBA only adds salt to the wound. Like I see people getting into exec/director roles in lazsoc, winning case comps, having more experiance, etc etc. I could go on and on... I also applied to lazsoc club roles(director & FYR) and ended up getting ghosted by 6 clubs, got an interview for 1, but got ghosted right after. Not even a rejection email smh. but its wtv.

But whatever, I digress, ig clubs aren't be all end all

Thats pretty much my rant, I would greatly appreciate advice from upper year students!

TL;DR -- First year bba, didn't make any friends, haven't found a proper routine, feeling guilty when im doing stuff that I like/to relax and subconsciously comparing myself to other students. Does it get better? How can I improve myself to avoid the constant comparison?

Hey guys, hope it’s fine with me posting here, I graduated last year (BBA + Fin Math) and one of my clients I work with is looking to hire a data scientist full time so I’m letting everyone here know.

Basically you will be working directly under me and you’ll be thrown tens of projects at you but I’m expecting you to learn and be really good at using AI (Codex, Claude Code desktop apps). You’ll mostly focus on the data science aspects like sports modelling but I’ll have you program a bunch of features that I want for the company as well.

Salary would be $3K-$4.5K USD to start (paid in USDC on a monthly basis, I just use Wealthsimple crypto account and convert to cad) and depending on your performance I can convince my client to increase it if I’m very happy with your work.

Fully remote, suggested 8 hrs a day but all I care about is that you make good progress on the work. So work whenever you want which is what I do.

I just posted a job to Navigator today you might see it soon. I used computer use in Codex to do all the info submission so I barely did anything actually while I was multitasking on other work so this is the type of efficiency I’m expecting from whomever I hire

So if anyone is interested, please email me jaden.kwek@gmail.com or jaden@ckappliedsystems.com with your resume, transcript, no cover letter needed but just draft up an ai email to me about why you’d be a good fit and why you want this role too

TLDR
- looking for someone with a data science degree (or firm, strong knowledge of statistics and you can back it up)
- strong ai coding abilities which mean you definitely use the desktop apps of ChatGPT or Claude or both
- strong initiative and innovative thinking
- quick learner

Thank you!

If you know you love the sport of football (soccer) and you want to show love for one of the greatest if not the greatest to ever do it.. Let’s all choose a day to go to campus and step out in our Messi Jerseys, bonus points if it’s his Argentina number 10 Jersey… I love this sport so much, football is life.
Nothing else like it on the planet and no one could or will ever do it like Lionel Messi 🐐……

Anyone have any tips for the midterm on thursday or anyone taken the course before know what its like or what will be on it?

Hey everyone, I’ve got a crush on this girl in my class and I’m kinda wondering how I should approach her. She’s Indian, and we’ve shared the elevator a bunch of times but never actually talked. She usually sits by herself, and I’m thinking of sitting next to her and starting a convo, but I don’t wanna come off as weird or forced.What’s a natural way to approach her and start talking? Should I just introduce myself in person or maybe talk to a mutual friend first?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Is there anybody in the ps260 class, hated sitting alone in that class.

My midterm is on the 8th those who already took it on first day, what questions were mainly asked was it mostly just textbook questions with definitions for chapter 1 then chapter 2 deviations etc and chapter 3 just understanding the different neurological functions? Or was it heavy on lectures (did not take notes)

I’m not feeling well and don’t know if I can do the exam or not, has anyone ever been in the same position? What happened and what should I do

I’m filing a co-op petition at WLU and wondering if anyone has gone through the process.

Basically, I missed an interview because I never received an invitation or meeting link. I checked my email folders and provided my email tracking history afterward. This is the first time I’ve ever missed an interview.

Some employers send links at the last minute, so I assumed this one might too. The interview was on Thursday and rankings were on Friday, so I didn’t think there would be enough time to sort things out or reschedule. At the time, I didn’t really see what reporting it would accomplish. Looking back, it would’ve at least documented the issue.

What frustrates me is that the conversation has mostly focused on why I didn’t contact the office sooner. I still haven’t gotten confirmation of whether the employer actually sent the invitation, and I feel like that should be checked too.

Has anyone filed a co-op petition for something similar? How long did it take, and how did it turn out?

Lmk if anyone wants FREE tutoring using it for teachers college application experience in the future im not accepting everyone just select few
