This is my first semester and it has been a mess, this entire time I have had pretty bad clinical depression and I have lost the will to do anything. I'm a first year student and this semester I took 4 clases, 2 maths, one computer science and one history elective. At first I was attending university clases as usual but my depression made me even lose the motivation to leave my house, I was stuck at home and slowing failing to hand in my assignment, but since I didn't show up to clases I had no Idea on what was even going on, which only reinforced me not going to the clases because I told myself "well its ok il just relearn everything using the powerpoints (yes i was that delusional)" but this mentality lead to me constantly falling behind. At one point I just stopped handing in all assignments all together. I cannot underestimate how badly my mental health fell of. Eventually here I am, I have a math skill exam on Thursday at 8:30am that I know nothing about "and every math quiz I have taken has been like either 30s or just missed" then on Dec 12th-14th in this order I will have a math final exam" (which I know nothing about), history final exam(which I lack information in) and another math exam(which I know nothing about) then on the 19th I have a comp sci final exam which I am not to worried about because I know a good amount about computer science back in hs and I have a big gap between my main exam period and the exam to study for it. After my math skills exam I will have from the dec 6th to the 11th to study for my 3 back to back finals and essentially have to relearn everything. I did some calculations using the mark breakdown in the syllabus, and I found out that if I can get at least 80% on my finals and the mathmatize I can get just a high enough mark to pass my clases with a mark in the 50s or 60s, but it will be hard, to study for all these exams without knowing that much about the subjects, I have the materials likes powerpoints and everything else to study, buts it's gonna be really hard. That's why I have been considering the option of just dropping a course, since I heard a vw is better that a F, it might be worthwhile. If I could dropped at least one course I could a better chance of maybe passing(I hope) if I dedicate my days to full focusing on just studying. The problem is that some courses I'm taking next semester require me to have taken some of the courses that im taking now as prerequisites. Which means I would have to take these courses that I am taking right now either next semester or next year(depends on whether the courses only happen for a certain semester, I might be wrong this is my first time in uni) and throw of my entire scedule. Not to mention the issues of vw this late, including fees and gettinga vw on my transcript etc. I also want to know if I should tell my dad about this, I have been keeping this a secret because I thought we would have been ashamed of me if I said I might fail. I was so deep in this issue that I felt like I couldn't tell anybody about this, and I just told my self delusionally "it's OK, I can just relearn everything just in time for the exams if I just dedicate all my days and weekends looking over notes and watching YouTube tutorials". I think I might eventually open up to my dad about this issue and where I am know, but he will be shocked and probably angry(I wouldn't blame him since I lied about how I was doing in uni) and I don't know how to bring this up to him. For the past week I have been beating myself up and hating myself for doing this to myself, and just wishing that I could go back in time to September and do it all over again, to not fall behind or drop a course so I would have a lower workload. Any advice, reassurance, really anything helps?

Tldr: do to mental health struggles I am bordline failing all my clases and don't know what the he'll to do(I recommend you read everything to get a full grasp on what is going on)

I’m sick of all these Dafoe NPCs. I really like the one with plants in St Paul’s. Any other nice ones like that on campus? I need to switch it up a bit.

I’m a first year student and I have 3 exams in the same 24 hours . Is it worth deferring one of them?

Does anyone know around what month the nursing decisions for summer term come out? TIA!!

Is it just the professors, or are the math department administrators also involved in reviewing them?

I plan on taking organic chemistry 1 (CHEM 2120) during the summer. Last summer it says it was from May to June, but in aurora for Summer 2025. It’s saying it’ll start at the end of June and go until August. Is this confirmed, or should I expect it to change to May to June?

Please lmk if anybody finds a keyring in Elizabeth Dafoe library or tier. I've retraced my steps over and over again and had to get the arts student body to cut open my locker. Theyre not in the lost and found either. It has a Hyundai key fob, a house key, and than 2 smaller keys with the number 66 on them.

My final exams are stacked very close together, and I feel like I never really learned an efficient way to study effectively. Now that my courses are getting tougher, I'm starting to feel this a lot more. Often when I try to study, I feel as if I'm wasting my time and not getting a lot out of those sessions.

How do you manage to study for multiple courses at once? For context, I am a STEM major.

I did 1018 with her she’s fab I think how did people like her for 1100

it's inconvenient to pay the full monthly I only need it a bit. Please no trolls. thanks!

Like, if I went to dafoe at 6 am I’m assuming it’s be locked? But would like armes be locked and could I get into the tunnels from armes. I wanna study at school early before my 9 am exam like start at like 6 am ish

Hello everybody, about to start my first year this coming January and one of the things I was looking into is Arts Co-op program.

If anyone out there has gone through the process would love to hear your thoughts about it. How realistic is it to qualify? How competitive? And what’s the success rate of landing a job? And most importantly is if it’s worth it.

My brother was in comp science and had a very successful experience with its co op program. Of course that’s comp science which is very different.

I hate when theres a line of 20 ppl for a bus and everyone is actin like a good civilian till theres always a person or a few ppl who decide to just go straight to the front and cut. Normalize grabbing them and throwin em back in the line

There’s not much to say here but please for the love of god if you are going to watch a show GO HOME! I’m not here to listen to you watch your show on full blast while I’m trying to study for my finals. Now I know for a fact I’m not the only person who was bothered by this, due to the unsettling looks everyone was giving each other, while you were watching your show.

You have a home for a reason or maybe better yet some headphones! You can get them at the dollar store for little to nothing. This isn’t just about you watching a show, but the lack of respect towards other school students who are trying to find quiet places to study. If you don’t care about your grades that’s fine with me but doesn’t mean that other people don’t care about theirs.

I don't really want to bother anyone but I need some feedback or tips. So I have been job hunting and I have gotten a few interviews here and there now. But I haven't gotten hired yet and I don't really know what I am doing wrong. I also go prepared to these interviews, I dress up very presentable and look chic. I come with my resume and other documents in a professional portfolio folder cover, I show up early and I listen actively to what the interviewer said and answer as best as I can.

if you have any tips I appreciate it because I don't know what to do.

Dress warmly, full on blizzard going on!!!

Hello, I am in need of a gpa booster. Which one would be better? Both are DL course. For PHIL I have Rhonda and for RLGN I have Nicole. Please recommend.

I finished my bachelor's degree in health sciences this past June but I realized that there are some courses I am missing to be eligible to apply for the PharmD program (was not my first choice of program after undergrad but now I'm looking into it as a backup). They require me to take CHEM 2700, but I have already taken CHEM 2730 as a mandatory part of my degree and Aurora says I can't have both at once. I emailed the pharmacy office and they said that they did not take CHEM 2730 as a valid prerequisite. So my question is can I sign up for and complete CHEM 2700 as a general studies student even though I completed CHEM 2730 as part of my previous degree? And if can't, what can I do?

Curious what kind of interview questions one might get asked at an interview to work in facilties (i.e at the active living center)

i wasn’t originally planning into going into nursing when i first started uni but now have taken a interest into wanting to take it. this meaning i have taken a bunch of different classes that we’ll meet the requirements for the pre reqs. so the question is do they take all my classes as pre reqs or no? for example i have taken both stats 1000 and math 1500 and got a better grade in 1500 and you only need one math for nursing, so would i only considered math 1500 when calculating my agpa since it’s the higher grade? same for like all the science pre reqs because i have taken more classes than i need for the amount of pre reqs they want so do i just use my higher grades for my agpa?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had advice for the biochem lab final. I've been doing mostly well on the lab reports, but I didn't do as great as I wanted on the midterm. I am really hoping to improve my score. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, hope your doing well! 🙏🏽 anyways has anyone taken the online/distance version of this course? How was it? Easy A+? Thanks in advance for any replies!!!

How should I study effectively for the final. I’m struggling in this class and I really don’t want a C or C+ in it

Library is not the place to talk on your phone. Go downstairs and talk. People really need to get this simple thing.

Hey Guys, I am taking PHIL1290 with Peter Denton and he as a professor does not believe in posting slides as everythings in the textbook. I was wondering if anyone from another section can maybe send me powerpoint slides for some chapters if their professor has posted em! Thank-you so much!

I just want to confirm if the bus pass and gym access active between fall term and winter term. I don't want to get a membership just for 2 weeks at a different place.

Does anybody happen to have the course outline for Biol 2390?

Thanks!

I went to gym at around 1:15 pm - 2:30 pm and for some reason, i might have left my pants outside of the locker when i was changing. Please, if you ever find black pants with keys insidw, leave it to the front desk or lost and found area. I can' t go outside wearing shorts
