title (this is my first co-op, engineering S4)

In Toronto for university. Haven't had time to vote since I had finals. I'll be back before the 28th, but I assume I could be sitting for hours since it spans most of the day.

i am not graduating yet but it is on the horizon and according to uw: "Dress as you wish under your regalia, but we encourage attire that is appropriate for the occasion. Clothing promoting hate or violence, including racism of all kinds, will not be permitted."

/srs would i be allowed to graduate as spider-man in a spidey suit. this is a genuine, serious, from the bottom of my heart question.

Did anyone already do the Shopify data intern technical interview for the Fall 2025 term? How was it?

how bad is it if my final coop eval with my manager is on the last day of my work? i’m getting worried :(

I can't be the only one who thinks that Cambridge smells like shit half the time, and vomit the rest. Can't something be done about it other than not going outside?

My roommate was reading the Kitchener Citizen this morning and noticed that the two Letters to the Editor about saving and defunding the CBC were almost identically worded and structured the same, but attributed to two different Kitchener residents.

I think they wanted to do that thing bigger papers will do when they have two columnists on opposite sides of an issue do back to back columns, but just used ChatGPT to write two opposing letters from ostensibly two different citizens?

I did send an email to the editor, just pointing it out and asked for an explanation. I know Kitchener Citizen is such small potatoes but it would be really disappointing to find that they are using AI to pretend to be residents.

Buffet/AYCE recommendations? Thanks!

My husband has 30 years in landscaping and Clintar the company he has worked for 3 years after this winter told him they didn't have a spot for him anymore 🙄 So we thought with his experience he would have no problem getting a job but nope we have put out resumes to some of the big companies and not one will call back. It's so frustrating and depressing 😞 If anyone knows or owns a landscaping company and needs help DM.

I need 0.2% to meet progression. Is there any possible way to still get this by adjusting a grade or something? Every time I wrote a business exam, I’ve always got 2-3 more marks by requesting a remark and I know there’s a final exam review in June but would they actually do remarks?

Just finished my 1B term of CS and I've just been feeling like shit ever since. Lowk might've bombed my MATH136 final and I might not pass (I'm expecting like mid to high 50's) and also my CS136 and MATH138 final. I did bad in 1A with a 72 average while all my friends were getting high 80's and 90's without even trying that much 😭. I studied and grinded my ass off this term, studying pretty every day until 2AM but yet I still did bad in school and I take way too long to study and work on my assignments, compared to my friends.

I'm kind of expecting my average to drop to about like mid 60's this term, I'm also in Sequence 4 so I'm really scared that my bad grades won't get me a coop when I'm applying this Spring term😭. Idk man I'm supposed to be enjoying my time visiting family and stuff but I just can't help but feel like shit rn, the thoughts about me possibly failing some courses and not getting a coop as a result just keep haunting me. And deep down I know that there's nothing I could do about it now except to learn and improve from it, and I definitely have better things to do rn, but Idk I just wanted to get this off my chest. thank you.

Between fake job ads. Employers asking for the moon and can't find anything related to supplychain makes my heart break that even McDonald's won't accept me 😂 OVER QUALIFIED TO FLIP BURGERS YO!!

All one can do is laugh right ✅ and hope the funds we have don't run out before well even a grocery store makes the call 😅 cries deep down inside 10 years of school that has 0 value now with not enough jobs.

Yay rant over right? Wrong...

What the heck?? Cant be the only baboon waiting for a call... but also an opportunity not just an employer weeding out anyone wanting more then 16 an hour??

Oof

Good thing I'm not frustrated right 🤐 good things are coming our way when we're patient right? 2023 October STILL WAITING!!!

Have a beautiful 26 degree day

🤣🤣😅

Didn't see this posted anywhere so wanted to give people a heads up. I'm not involved with the race but I'm guessing that's a typo and should be 10:30am. Wish all the racers the best and I'll keep my eyes open and maybe join you next year.

The first SUV was in the wrong side of the road. Anyone knows what happened here?

i’ve noticed there are so many red light cameras in Waterloo, particularly when getting off the highway at University Ave W. Are all of them actually functioning?

Has anyone been able to get ahold of the PC candidate, Waseem Botros, for Waterloo this election? I have been emailing him all week with questions about a specific platform component and its radio silence. If you have specific avenues you'd recommend, please let me know.

I did really good on one of my exams and I did kinda decent on the other.

The thing is, I need a 65% average out of the two courses to get myself out of conditional. I am not certain that I will hit that goal even though I did good on one and decent on the other.

Does anyone have advice on what I should do, or what will happen to me? I don’t believe I will have missed the MAV requirement by like more than 1 percent. I am in CS.

Some followup questions:
1) Should I take 480 and 486 in separate terms or just try to do them in the same one? Is there any advantage?

2) Would replacing 456 with 349 be a better idea?

Has anyone noticed an increase in frequency and length of the horns being used by the trains at the Vic/Lanc shunting yard?

I love trains and I find the horns relaxing, but I’ve noticed a massive increase over the last 48 hours.

New guy who’s horn happy? New regulations involving the level crossing? Broken train?

My teen has a bday gift to buy. Any local spots that have a good selection of certified halal candy or chocolate candy?

Currently looking into 3rd and 4th year courses. Can anyone tell me their semester courses for the accounting concentration? What would you guys recommend?

Hi, I was debating retaking one of these course to increase my gpa this spring online. Which one is easier to obtain a higher grade with least amount of effort and can anyone please share the grading schemes! Thanks

Edit: Meant to say “help” not “average” in title So I'm going to be having computer science classes next semester and I have absolutely no background knowledge whatsoever. I want to find a tutor or some online resources that can help me have some decent background knowledge as my other courses are pretty hard too.

Hi everyone!!

I’m going to be in Kitchener for some summer uni classes and was wondering if anyone had any golf instructor recommendations. My skill level is quite a newbie still but eager to learn. Cost is no concern to me and I would prefer 1 on 1 lessons.

Cheers.

Hi all,

My dad lost his trucking job in October due to a speeding ticket on his record, so we’ve been applying for factory/local jobs but have had zero luck.

He’s been out of work for 6 months now, unable to apply for EI (since he was self employed), he has a ton of Machine operator/factory experience from previous jobs, but have had zero luck in even getting an interview.

I’ve reached out to many employment agencys like Ranstad, New World Momentum. Revised his resume several times, still no luck!! Anyone have any advice or any contacts we could talk to, the bills are starting to add up and don’t know what else to do.

Thank you all in advance

Anyone know of any place that sells it? Thanks!

Got back home recently from travelling through Southeast Asia and now I've got the munchies for it.

Really struggling lately with my mental health and living situation. I have 1 day left to submit two essays and complete a term test. I’ve been in contact with my prof about it who has been super understanding and accommodating. I scheduled the term test tomorrow morning at 9am with AAS, I’ve barely studied and know i wont do well. I still have 40% of the course to go. Should i just request a INC mark in the course and complete the rest in the spring?

Sooo i forgot to pay a parking ticket i got from the city but when i go to pay it, it says the ticket has been voided and has no balance owing?

Do they do this often?

I got the ticket at the parking lot for the ion station/waterloo park on Seagram.

Its also been 6 months since the ticket was issued.

Pam Wolf was the 1 who wanted the fine reduced to $1000

Hello!! I’m moving to Laurier and was wondering if there was any black barbers or black owned barbershops that could cuz black men hair.

Also where would be good places to look?

A reminder that voting green in Kitchener Centre IS the strategic vote. So if you do not want the conservatives to win... your best bet here is to vote for Mike! But better yet... vote for Mike simply because he is an incredible local representative for us!

I have known Mike for over 15 years in a personal and professional capacity. When he first ran for office, it made total sense to me that this would align with his values. But what really has convinced me is seeing how genuinely energized he is by knocking on doors and talking to constituents out in the community. It blows my mind that anyone would actually enjoy canvassing, but I can tell from talking to him that he truly loves talking to each and every one of you that he meets.

Here's why voting for Mike Morrice is a easy 100% YES for me:

* He takes the role very seriously, and works incredibly hard.
* Green party MPs can vote independently.. there are no whipped votes where the party tells you how you have to vote (this is VERY common in the liberal and conservative parties!!). So Mike truly gets to vote based on what he thinks is best - based on what he hears from people here in Kitchener Centre
* he's built an effective and engaging team of people at his Kitchener office that help people all the time with many things including immigration challenges
* I love how he is active on social media and shares about things he is advocating for in the House of Commons
* He's very present in the community and engages with a huge range of groups, organizations and people.
* he gives credit to the hard work of local organizations who have collaborated with him for policy change and advocacy (like for the disability benefit increase he made happen alongside local advocates)

I was driving on Bleams and just after Strasburg, saw a guy spread eagle and not moving on the side of the road. I called 911 and informed them. Is it ok to call 911 in such situations?

For some context I failed BU111 in the fall and got an 8 in 121 should I retake BU 111 and 127. I got a 4 in 127 and would need a 9 to hit bu gpa average. Does anyone know if they actually grade 111 easier in the spring? I need a 9 to meet the GPA requirements, and was wondering if thats even possible. Any advice would be great. Is it even worth taking 127 again?

Hi all,

I plan to bring my car to Waterloo for the Spring term, however, WCRI doesn't start giving non-resident passes starting May 12th. I plan to move in May 4th, hence I have an awkward 8 days where I need to manage parking on my own.

To anyone living in WCRI: do you think you can help me get a guest parking pass for now? It would mean a lot to me and save a lot of trouble!

Going into 3rd year as a bio student, for spring I'm looking at: MA100: Calc for Natural Science BI336: Molecular Cell Biology BI358: Animals Form and Function HS201 Online: Canadian Health Care Systems SY215 Online: Sociology of Health and Illness SY241 Online: Sociology of Crime (Structural)

Also kinda interested in BI484: Fundamentals of Parasitology, so I'm willing to switch any of those out for that too.

I don't wanna take any "hard" courses without reason MA100 is the only course I have to take this summer. My gpa matters the most to me so avoiding anything that'll tank it. The rest I'm taking to get more credits really. Especially the Sociology courses, those are my electives. Let me know if I'm cooked or if I should avoid some of them (they're too hard for an elective, so boring, etc.)

Looking for a naturopathic doctor in Cambridge. Looking for someone that specializes treating chronic pain and spinal issues if possible. This is my first time going the natural route so open to all suggestions. Thank you!

Recently got into mech eng as waterloo and after talking to people at the university they advised me to attempt to take an option in order to achieve my goals.

I hope to be able to do jobs in mech, elec, hardware and maybe even software, and it seems that an option in tron is the best fit for that. (Since chance of me getting a transfer is low, & I cant transfer before 1A)

Is tron the best option I could take that doesn't mean taking extra terms (I know that I might have to overload) and can be easily integrated into the mech eng course load? or is there any better options that I could do to broaden my opportunities?

Appreciate any Advice!

Does anyone know if CS courses count as a math course and if they factor into the math average and 1 fail credit

they’ve been going off a LOT the last 24 hours, and i’m not annoyed or anything about it but honestly just wanna know because i’m nosy lolol

Last night i heard them going off all hours of the night and they were pretty long and constant. Sounds like it’s near the encampment. Anybody know anything? again, just being a nosy neighbour lol enjoy the sunshine tomorrow!

I was looking around and found Mohawk had a weekend course to learn how to tile. Unfortunately, the course filled up pretty fast and I never was able to sign up in time. That got me thinking that Mohawk was probably not the only place that offered such a course. However, I could not find something local enough and short enough. I’m looking to redo my kitchen and I think a course would set me well on my way to get this done. Anyone got any ideas or experience with something like that around here?

Can y'all please send me pdf's , textbooks , course outlines or any other important stuff for the above given courses. It would be really helpful as I'm planning to start early. Literally any help would be appreciated. Pls dm. Thanks for the help!!

Hi,

In a bit of a situation right now. I failed one of my courses this semester but I have an internship this summer.

I'm worried because they do require me to resubmit my transcript later on (I'm pretty sure it's just to verify that I am a student and did do courses, and will continue to do courses in the Fall).

Logically, it wouldn't make sense to give me an offer, sign me on, and give me a start date, and then rescind because of one course that I will be retaking during the internship (I will finish it DURING the internship too)

I'm just worried about if there's a chance they'll rescind, anyone ever been in a similar situation?

I know it was easy but I didn’t know how to do a single MCQ I underestimated that exam tbh, I feel so disappointed. How do yall feel?
