Tuesday April 1st, Waterloo streets are crowded for the holiday. Even with the rain. Hidden in the chaos is the leetcode, waiting to strike like snakes. And I'm there too. Watching. 2 years of leetcode have turned me into a leetcode animal. I must choose my leetcode carefully. It's a big city. I can't be everywhere. But leetcode doesnt know where I am. leetcode has a signal now, for when I'm needed. When that light hits the sky, it's not just a call- it's a warning. To them. leetcode, is a tool. They think I'm hiding in the leetcode. But I AM the leetcode. I wish I could say I'm making a difference, but I don't know. Murder, robberies, assault- 2 years later, they're all up. And now this. This city's eating itself. Maybe it can't be saved, but i have to try leetcode. PUSH MYSELF. These nights all roll together in a rush, Behind the mask. Sometimes in the morning i have to force myself to remember all the leetcode that happened.

we r so close to the end of the term, and I can’t focus on school at all. Even when I try to stay on track—going to the library and not skipping classes and all—my mind wanders every 5 minutes. I’m insanely behind because I don’t understand anything that’s going on. And im getting super anxious...

I have been accepted to SE but am waiting for the CS decision to decide what program I want to go to.

Can I complete the housing application now?

Also advice on whether to choose CS or SE is appreciated.

Thanks

Hey guys!

If you or someone you know would be interested, I am subleasing my apartment from May to August end for $650 inclusive (no additional payments for hydro or electric). The roommates are extremely tidy and quiet and attend Laurier as well as the University of Waterloo.

The apartment is within 7 minute walking distance to Laurier's campus.

Feel free to inquire if you have any questions! : )

I will be graduating next term and I did not see the email about grad photos and grad ball this term. They were all pushed to my other folder for some reason. I thought that there would be grad photo opportunities every term :(((

Someone was talking about it in class and I realized that the deadline to get grad photos for 2025 composite already passed.

I'm so upset. I will try emailing the life touch agency but did anyone else have a similar experience and were able to get a grad photo in after the deadline?

Hello all,

I am looking to see if there were any witnesses to a car accident I was in yesterday at around 6:00pm. I was turning left on a (just turned) green light from Samuelson St onto Water St N, and a woman hit me speeding through a red light from my right side on Water St N.

I know it’s a shot in the dark, but if there were any witnesses please let me know. The insurance is now deeming this accident my fault as I have no proof she went through a red light. Thank you!

I got an offer for these based program anyone has any idea how the course is?
Can someone help to understand what should be next steps to do or what are the deadlines?
Also will be helpful if we can connect.

Hey folks,

I may need a root canal treatment for one of my teeth. I don't have a dentist here, so I'm looking for recommendations from those who have had a root canal before and had a good experience. Preferred: KW area.

TIA

Any one know who repairs switch in cambridge

Possible incoming first year here, looking to stay on res but I would like quietness and a peace of mind at night time as well. Is there any residence that is far away from clubs/party spots? Thanks a lot.

After letting go of 50 managers Conestoga college in so planning to let go of some of their unionized support staff.

At the same time John Tibbits gets a 29% salary increase.

Hey community looking for some birthday idea for my mom.

Does anyone know when my student invoice will be updated with how much I owe for my courses starting in May

if i hate and suck at presenting/memorizing lines, should i just leave bba?

specially v1!

upper year here thinking if i should sign up to be on res council (i would be staying on campus anyway!)

main reason why i wanna sign up is to get more involved w residence life + hopefully make some friends w the other res council people. i was pretty quiet my first year so i didn’t really make a lot of friends, and i’d like to change that in the fall term!

am not sure how social it is though, especially since UW res don’t have the best rep for social life for upper years. am i better off spending my time elsewhere like in my faculty’s exec team?

i didn’t stay w campus housing before, so im not really sure what to expect.

thanks!!

just want to know if anyone has encountered people asking for money for the SickKids charity on Activa Street.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking for a line cook job anywhere in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge area. I have about 1.5 years of experience at Montana’s and have also worked at Boston Pizza, so I’m comfortable in fast-paced kitchens.

I have a car, so I’m open to opportunities in any of the three cities as long as the pay is decent. If you know of any places hiring or have any leads, I’d really appreciate it! Feel free to DM me or drop a comment.

Thanks in advance!

I emailed them about this and they said it was on my offer of admission, however it's not (I read it like 3 times and hit Ctrl + F to check for anything to do with transfer credits and AP) and I still couldn't find it on there. The website doesn't tell you either, it literally just says "the deadline for AP credits to be received is on your offer of admission" So if someone could lmk that would be amazing!

Im in engineering and I currently have 2 fails on my transcript that need to be cleared. Lets say I fail one more course this term then I will have a total of 3 fails, but next term im going into coop. If during that coop I clear 1 or more of those fails will I be allowed to continue with my class or will I still be required to repeat.

does anyone have a mini tutorial on how to lock in for exams. i need this advice im a very lost first year and last time exams went mid (got like 70's on them) but i want to do better this time : ' (

Can’t lie to you guys I’m feeling a little down. After living with a family member for the last year things have slowly become toxic and am under pressure to find a new rental within the next month, at the most 2 months. After desperately scouring different Facebook ads for both room rentals (with roommates) and 1 bedroom apartments things are slowly looking more and more depressing. I see a lot of “female only” “punjabi/gujarati only” “Vegetarian/Tiffin service only.” I’ve come across rentals with the oven ripped out completely.

I am a 27 year old male, employed full time, good credit, money in the bank and STILL cannot find something. I even came across a room for $1000 and they responded “we are already renting this one but you can have the other room for $1400 + utilities” $1400 for a room…. Thats like a scam price or something from the core of Toronto. It’s out of control. I love KW and its population but at this point I feel like throwing in the towel. I’m scared. Is there any light at the end of this long and dark tunnel?

Can anyone recommend any EC electives (any year level) that are online and don't have in person exams? Looking for an easy GPA booster over summer. Thanks!

Just a heads up for the kitty owners

Hello Good People of Cambridge!

Looking at making an offer on a house in the downtown Galt area; one of those post-war houses. But, I like to run in the early mornings, when it’s usually still dark. Would this be a safe habit in Cambridge? Or would you advise against it?

Any and all input much appreciated.

Today's cake is so good (strawberry shortcake). Thought id just show some appreciation.

Hello,

I am planning to take a summer course at the University of Waterloo and I am currently trying to obtain the course outline. Unfortunately, I’ve reached out to the university, but it seems that there is no instructor listed for this course at the moment.

If anyone happens to have an older version of the course outline and would be willing to share it, I would greatly appreciate it. I need the outline to show my university’s guidance counselors.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Waterloo corporate landlord notorious for ignoring tenants’ rights to a peaceful enjoyment of their home outsourced their maintenance and provides large windows during which they’re coming in and out of apartment units for fire alarm inspection

I’ve lived in various apartment buildings and have encountered all types of landlords but this is just tedious and bizarre.

I remember being at Ezra-Bricker as a student and they provided 3 hour windows on a specific date for any type of maintenance or whatever. This just seems inconsiderate of the company.

I guess I have to hope I don’t come home to my dog accidentally pissing out of joy of the unexpected visitors while I’m not home those days? Yay.

This isn't how I wanted to do this, but I don't have a choice.

It's time for you to know where I really come from.

I am from the University of Waterloo,

but it's not the university I've told you about.

We have created a perfect university,

but it took all of our strength,

leetcode, and not showing to get there.

[man screaming after faang rejection]

In order for our people to reach their full potential,

we had to remove the weak from our society.

It was a long and difficult process.

When it was over, our population was cut in half,

but what emerged from the ashes was unstoppable.

By the time I was born,

Waterloo already had the most coops in Canada.

We decided to make it the only place to get coops in Canada.

Once I was old enough, I joined the coop effort.

It was hard, but I believe in our cause.

Some companies resisted, of course,

but no one could not hire us for long.

Soon, our students encompassed thousands of companies.

But as our numbers grew,

our forces were stretched thin and our expansion stopped.

We needed a better, more efficient way to get jobs.

Our most trusted officers were each given a company

to weaken by themselves.

I was one of those lucky few.

I couldn't tell your WLU-grad mother why I was here...

But that time's come to an end...

And now we need to get you ready to join the University of Waterloo.

Help! I'm planning a surprise birthday party for my mom's 60th and am looking for an idea of a restaurant with a private room or a restaurant that can be booked fully out. She loves to dance so would be great if there is something more private where we can play our own music (that might be wishful thinking). I'm guessing there will be about 50 people attending. Would appreciate any ideas!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for somewhere to donate my prom and formal dresses, in the region. Ideally, somewhere without too much hassle of booking an appointment or filling out forms. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi I'm looking for a female roommate to join me and my friend for a 3 bed 1 bath starting in fall 2025. Place is furnished, 5 min drive from WLU and is fully renovated.

Rent is $680 please message me if your interested!!

Why did you make me do this? You’re grinding applications, stressing over interviews, just to maybe land a four-month internship where your main task is updating outdated documentation. Think, Mark. You signed up for a program that turns your entire degree into a never-ending cycle of resumes, rejection emails, and pretending to be “passionate about software testing.” You’ll outlast your hobbies, your summers, your mental stability. You’ll live to see your friends take vacations while you're stuck in a co-op term three time zones away, celebrating Friday night with a sad sandwich and a Zoom call. Everyone and everything you knew in first year will be gone. You'll blink and it’ll be 2028, and you'll still be saying “just one more term.”... What will you have after five years: A LinkedIn profile with six jobs and no clue who you are anymore, Mark.

The wifi at the library is so awful, seriously this university is wayyy too expensive for the wifi to be this crap

Looking for flavourful and super spicy chicken recommendations in Waterloo / Kitchener for take out. Thanks

Looks like an absolutely delectable meal’s about to happen and I’m not invited

Hey! Any idea what are the topics for finals for cp216 ? It's not mentioned in the syllabus.

Thanks for the help!

And this should be followed by any and all public agency, board, municipal, provincial or federal.

Hi everyone, I am new to Waterloo and wanted to ask about the apartments arount the Northfield woth Weber st (the Lakeshore village area as named in google maps) , how good or bad it is for a family with a small kid ? How safe , and your general opinion

where all the tatted up baddies at

I need to hire someone to shut off my gas, cap a pipe and turn it back on. How much would this cost normally? Reccos?

Is prep optional for this course? are you required to participate in an research study?

it doesn’t say anywhere on the syllabus that it is required.

please let me know asap if you happen to know it would be appreciated.

Just shat my pants during work while trying to rip one out. Supervisor heard it and came to ask what that was, had to tell him it was a sneeze but I'm pretty sure he knew. Holy shit it stinks what do I do, it's on the chair and everything.

Hey guys! Planning to go to Elmira maple syrup festival from Mississauga next weekend. It’ll be our first time going to that area so any recommendations for places to stop and see along the way would be greatly appreciated! Already planning to see St Jacob’s market. Somewhere nice to hike would also be great! Also tips and tricks for the festival are also appreciated, thank you!

Context: I got basically a dream co-op, the problem was they could only offer me a Fall placement but my next co-op is this spring, so I got my co-op moved around near the start of the term.

As soon as it got moved around, my co-op advisor been asking me to submit an AOJ. The problem is I'm missing half the info required as the company isn't exactly in a rush to figure out the specifics since the co-op was 2 terms away when I first got the offer. Like the actual start and end date haven't been decided, it's just September to December and a bunch of other stuff is blank . He's essentially rn trying to get me to submit an incomplete AOJ, which I find weird.

Anyways, just wanted to ask, if anyone knows what's the rush?

I miss him I just wish he would glaze me rather than uw syde. 😛😛
