is it just me or was the chem 1a03 midterm really hard ??? i genuinely think i failed that... both my friends said the same, too

How was the midterm lol

I js did the test 1 and i found that i might lose 3 marks and its really disappointing since two of them is just silly mistakes, i really wanna end up with a 12 but it seems like pretty far now

Im a first year student and I wanna hear some stories from upper years about how they were able to recover after getting a bad grade in first year. Whether it was a test or assignment how did you pick yourself back up and improve. I’m lowkey finding myself struggling with the adjustment to uni and want to know what you guys did to improve. My strategy in highschool was to always aim for a 100 on everything so that no matter what happens I land near that number….but lowkey I’ve been landing in the 70’s as of rn with all these midterms. Please can someone tell me it gets better after midterms 🙏

Somebody must have with the amount of signage they have on them. Literally every microwave has a "don't put metal in here" sign.

This might be stupid but will there be any difference between fully erase an answer then choose a new one and cross out an answer with "X" then choose a new one when we are changing answers on the Scantron? Or both will be accepted? Thanks!

Does anyone currently in this class know if there are tutorials this week😊 MY TA AND PROF ARENT RESPONDING

im firsty year computer science and i'm a USA citizen and i was wondering if people thought it was worth it.

i dont think i'll get a co-op regardless, i don't really have anything great, but i was wondering if moving to USA for a co-op was worth the additional costs moving to the states for a co-op. i do have some family there but i wouldn't be able to stay for the entire duration of a co-op term

any advice would be really helpful

What do we need to study for this!? Idkkk readings? Lecture slides ?? Whatttt??

Guys I discovered the brand of Thode garlic bread sticks and I just wanted to spread the word. They are the “Furlani breadstick Parmesan” because I saw them restocking it. I know people have been wondering (people being me).

Hi! I am a new student at McMaster and need a doctor to refill prescriptions and things like that. My previous doctor at my old school was super open, understanding, patient, and respectful. I want to find another doctor like that and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the doctors on the SWC medical care team?

If so which would you recommend/not recommend?

Thank you :)

I have the mid term tmr can anyone give me good advice and if they had it last year, how hard it was? I’m highkey hella nervous

Hi! Would anyone who did Quiz B and C be willing to share the answers/corrections? I skipped them but I want to do some practice questions before I start the midterm. (You can download a pdf of the page with the feedback on it - you click the three dots in the upper right on chrome and hit print, then save as PDF). It would be very much appreciated!!

(And good luck to all of you on the midterm!)

First year eng and i dont think its for me, can i switch to btech from year 2? Would that mean that i would have to repeat an extra year?

I paid tuition out of pocket this term. I’m expected to take a seat in this shit??

Does anybody know who I can talk to in person to negotiate my physics 1D03 midterm marks? I don't want to email my TA if I can talk to them in person. I know I can go in to the physics help center where some TAs have time in, however I don't know which TA marked my midterm, do I just talk to any TA??

If my friend saw me wearing a shirt from Stratford, Ontario and assumed I was on Stratford, is she using inductive or deductive reasoning?

We’re arguing at this current moment, please help.

Idk why but maybe it’s because I have only two midterms this sem I feel like I should be doing really well on this one. I’m scared that if I mess up it would be so dumb like it’s not like I’m actually busy with other midterms so it would be such wasted potential if I don’t do my best on it ykw yadadada

Anyone got Halloween plans I can join in on or any parties they know of??

i didnt study over the reading week and now im so cooked. I have stats thurs and psych fri but im gonna have to msaf stats. my mental health has been in the gutters were its just hard to focus on studying because I start doubting my future career plan and if this is actually useful for my future. then i start scrolling linkedin and I feel even more shit about fuckass life sci. Im second year honors life sci and I stopped being a premed. i just feel so hopeless and confused. I never even chose my program, i picked it bc my mom wanted me to be a doctor (asian-chinese parents).

Over the reading week I did coffee chats with people but i feel like it just makes me doubt my current program even more. I also just feel so broke (partly bc of my families finances-inherited scarcity mindset ) ive resorted to eating my roomates leftover food expired food+i smts steal food from campus. but also those food on campus are so unhealthy and cause me to binge eat.

Plus my rental house has shit heating and i run cold, so its hard for me to fall asleep and I wakeup super early in the morning bc im freezing.

I also got a part time job on campus recently but im scared i cant balence it bc of my reading week screw up.

i feel like my friends are withdrawing themselves from me bc im not a fun person to be around anymore... like they can feel my stress and anxiety. My friend literally told me "all u talk about is how to make money, or being a premed, or your career" (but he's a nepo rich international student so he can afford to say shit like that)

I just feel so horrible rn.

i just wish i could go back to first year were everything felt hopeful and money wasnt an issue. I was working out and losing weight. I feel like a fat fucking chud with no direction. Why cant i just believe in myself and trust the process like everyone else around me??
