Hi there! I’m wondering if there is some sort of arts studio or rec centre in KW that offers creative writing workshops/courses/programs. I know that Conestoga offers creative writing courses, but I’m not looking to obtain a diploma or certificate, and I’m just looking to do something creative and fun, and learn writing skills alongside everyday people. I’m interested in writing fiction. I’ll take any suggestions. Thank you!

Today I just received two academic integrity violation warnings from a same CS course, and I never had records before. These two are all because of using AI(some stuff like that) in my assignments. I admitted to the ISA about the truth, but no responses to me yet. I dont know why these two warnings came the same time, because one assignment he mentioned was done like 20 days ago.....

I just have 3 questions rn:

1. Will they count these warnings as two records or one record;

2. If these are two records, will I be suspended from classes due to this issue, OR is there any other punishments that I have to face?

3. Once everything is done, Will I be able to drop this course as a WD.

Would be v helpful!

A friend of mine is pregnant and I’d like to provide some pre-packaged meals when baby comes. I am not from the area so don’t know what options exist.

I’m looking for small businesses that provide healthy pre-packaged meals or a caterer who can create meal-sized portions for two adults.

Thanks!

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has some advice on the CS246 midterm. From what I am reading it is usually super difficult, to the point of 55 averages and stuff. Ive read there's a lot of C++ "trivia" but im not sure what that means? Anyone willing to share their experience/how it went? It would be a huge stress off (or on) my mind lol

Thanks!

You know it’s gonna be fun when it starts with we shouldn’t get caught up in a debate about the charter of rights lol

Did anyone else see it? I had just walked outside work and saw the bright blue/green streak and white flashes across part of the sky. Looking west it flew by like NW-SW. Pretty cool 1-second show!

Looked like a meteorite. Today around 7pm.

with how school has been going I think I need backup Options. Now ofc I could go into something like a start up with a few people in my cs courses or maybe just do day trading or some boring shit but I took a step back and thought way outside the box. "What if I join a cult?" Now I know what yall might be thinking "WHy WoUld Yuo JOIN A FREAKING CULT!!! THATS BAD FOR YOU!!" well yeah it is butttt, I could rise through the ranks of said cult since its pr small. Honestly its no diff then a start up with friends the only diff is I am working for a dude that thinks hes literally god, which im ngl is pr much all leaders of start ups except theyre too afraid to admit there ego is that high. so this is better in terms of honesty. And if i try hard enough Im ngl I think I can become like a co leader? or like his right hand guy? idk it seems promising as shit tho and if all else fails and I cant get a job next sem then fuck it we ball and I am out recruiting people for my messiah/boss/startup friend and getting commission on my recuriting . Plus with the way things are going in the world its not toooo far off to say that jesus is coming back and he happened to be reborn as a virgin that goes to Laurier ether way I think this is a good business plan and backup plan if all else fails. I think the homeless would fw it heavy too, which is what out target consumer is finna be. anyways thanks for reading guys peace to you all

Hey everyone, trying my luck here. We lost some keys near Victoria park walking towards king/victoria st. It has a few keys and a little red leather heart with the initials JC on it.

Thanks!

Anyone else seeing hella ladybugs on campus today? I’ve had like 5 land on me within an hour and I’m seeing so many around other people too

I got an email today telling me that I did not answer a question on the spring 2025 don applications. The question was:

In 250 words or less, what do you think are the characteristics of a good Residence Life Don? Explain how you would demonstrate these characteristics in the position.

But when I looked back at my submission record, that question was not in the application in the first place. I also answered every question according to the record.

Did this happen to anyone else? Is this an issue with Qualtrics? They were nice enough to email me and let me know, but I do not want to make this mistake again in future applications

Every single time I commute to Toronto from the Go train there’s ALWAYS at least 2-3 people in the quiet zone that talk loudly nonstop in the quiet zone - I told them this time to be quiet or to go downstairs since it’s the quiet zone and they all literally laughed in my face, am I in the wrong?

A family friend told me that I have to get over 90 on STAT331 and STAT341, that it is important for finding an internship and will effect me in life significantly. I cannot reach that score. I just can't. I know the theory of studying hard, how I should plan my review schedules, etc., and personally I think I did fine...I didn't fail any tests, I did all calculations correct but some mistakes on writing proofs. I know how to improve on the next term test and I think I'm ready. The family friend said that's not enough, and I have to study until I'm broken, until I'm in despair, so I could reach 90%. I try not to believe that I cannot find a job after graduation simply because of two courses, but everything seems to be tumbling down. Everyday I feel like I'm in a storm and I can't sleep until 4 a.m. I cannot move my body suddenly after classes, so I crouch in a corner trying to calm down. Almost everyone around me seems to be talking about co-ops, how a perfect GPA is easily reachable. I try to convince myself that I'm not that bad, that my life is still meaningful in every way, but I know I'm not. A voice keeps saying that uwaterloo took pity on me and took me in, or else why I am here? I wish to at least get a distinction(>80% chap I believe?), and I think if I do better I can, but it seems to people around me that's as easy as breathing. I don't know if I'm being overdramatic, that all day I do is lamenting instead of actually do something. I don't know if I'm just being lazy when I can't walk or push myself up the bed.

I have recently moved from Cambridge to kitchener near to Boardwalk area and looking at gym memberships, movati is the nearest to my house which is very expensive but I have procrastinated so much with my weight loss that I'm starting to hate my self when I look in the mirror. So I want this to work out so bad, would really appreciate any advice on what's the best plan at movati or any upcoming promotions/discounts.

two times in a row where I ordered iced latte and got iced coffee. I mostly go to SLC Tims and has never encountered this issue before.

Looking for restaurants serving raw oysters in the KW area. Please don’t suggest Rodney’s in TO. I’m hoping for local. Does it exist?

Does anyone know of a store in the KW area that sells Fanta Strawberry or Peach, preferably in cases of 12 or 24?

I got selected for an interview for a job that I do not want. Am I able to simply not schedule an interview without being punished? I have never had this happen before and I do not know what to do. If anyone can please give me insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone who’s done the midterm before, how was it? Are the questions similar to the practice questions, I’m just reviewing those for each chapter. Any other advice for studying and writing this midterm.

Dm me if it’s yours.

To anyone who completed CP414, how was the midterm? Any specific topics or concepts to keep in mind?

Hi i remember in March there was some kind of skating that was free at the activa sportsplex and grand river. Is there any free ice skating now? Nothing shows up on the Kitchener skating website

Left it on the Laurier bus stop.

We've recently returned to the region after away for a decade and bought a 70's "charmer". We've been powering through the upstairs ourselves but are getting to the burnt out "please no more..." phase and we're looking for a reputable team to come help us with the basement. We've demoed the nasty carpeting and built ins ourselves and need someone to lay the vinyl planking and paint the place so we can enjoy it this winter.

Would so appreciate some recommendations of folks you've worked with that would be well suited for this kind of gig. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a trans friendly hairstylist/salon in Kitchener/Waterloo, ideally one that also know how to cut curly hair well. After a few pretty awful experiences taking my chances with well reviewed salons I'd really like to lock down someone reliable.

0 interviews so far but many of them are ‘expired - apps available’. Do I still have a chance to be scheduled for interviews? I got 4 interviews in cycle 1 but nothing in cycle 2 and I applied more on latter. Like wtf I thought cycle 2 is gonna be better cuz most competitive ppl are picked out. I’m stressed now, 1 more unemployed term I’m getting kicked out of coop.

So does anyone wanna make a study group for our upcoming midterm?

thoughts?

We ordered a bathroom vanity through Home Depot to be delivered as it was only available on line. They do just literally drop it somewhere on your property without notification. I will leave that as I side issue and lesson learned. When we opened the vanity it did not match the image of the one we ordered. I contacted Home Depot and sent photos, per their request. The response I received is that they did deliver what I ordered and they will not be providing another. I am free to carry it back to the store for a refund. The vanity costs over $1,200. I have mobility issues and a small car which even if I could carry the vanity to, it would not fit in the car. This is a scam they are running isn't it? First image is the image of the item I ordered which is on their electronic document and the second is what I received.

New to area and looking to sign my kids up for skating (3 & 4). All the learn to skate programs are on Saturday. I'm hoping for something on a weekday or Sunday.

TIA

3rd year tryna make some more friends to hangout/do stuff with. If anyone's down to make an insta group chat lmk!

Just wondering, how much have you/expect to save by the end of your graduation (if any)? Only net earnings

I have a bus card with just over 20$ on it, and I got a bus pass. Does anyone know of another person who would be willing to give me 15$ for it? GRT doesn’t offer refunds, so other than selling it, there is no way for me to get my money back, other than selling the card.

Hi, as my graduation approaches I start thinking more and more where I want to live in the longer term. If you had an opportunity to intern far away from home (USA, International, other parts of Canada) did you end up moving there after graduation? Especially interested in hearing from those who went to work in the Bay Area and then chose to either return or stay in Canada. Looking for general insights on the choice of where to live post grad.

Hey, I'm living in San Francisco January to April and am looking for roommates. I'm pretty outdoorsy and athletic (gym mainly + less seriously running, cycling, climbing, etc). It is my first time living in SF and I am looking to make friends and explore the city but also the surrounding nature areas and do some hiking/cycling/backpacking. I would love to room with someone who shares a few of these interests. I am in 3B mechatronics engineering. Feel free to dm.

No, I am not asking so that I get DM's from singles lol. I genuinely want to know what you do as a single person on a Saturday night? Other then going to a bar ( I'm 46, I have zero desire to go to a bar) what are solo activities to do? I love staying home but I need to get out every once and awhile.

Thank you for all the replies!

Does anyone know what the MA200 midterm is going to be like? There’s absolutely no material or past papers on Studocu or Course Hero. I haven’t been attending classes. Does anyone know what’s important, besides the problems listed on MyLMS?
