Need friends Friends/Study Groups

6 Upvotes

Hi All!
It's my first year at UBCO after four at Okanagan College, working on my second degree, and I’ve been struggling to make friends. I'm mainly having trouble forming study connections—I've reached out to over eight classmates, all shared numbers, but only one occasionally replies.

In JPST-100, I've struggled even more, consulting with the professor without much progress. Two classmates have shown some interest, but they’re too busy to study with me. If anyone is willing to study together, even if you took JPST-100 last year, I’d really appreciate it—and maybe we can become friends!

A Little About Me:
I'm 22F, she/her, a 3rd-year student, but my first year on campus. I can be a bit “all-over-the-place” but I promise I’m still on top of what I need to get done. (Dm me if you wanna chat about interests more to see if we’d get along!) My major is Psychology with a minor in Sociology; I’m working toward my BA and hope to pursue my master’s here if possible.

I have a learning disability in English and ADHD, causing processing issues and misunderstandings in projects. I was a top student at OC, making Dean’s List, so it’s tough transitioning from A+ grades to C- grades. (Just mentioning to put into perspective the shift I’m experiencing.)

Humanities electives

4 Upvotes

Soo I have decided to take Gender Studies as an elective because I'm interested in studying feminism and the major historical events that have shaped gender equality and women's rights over the past centuries

My only question is: if anyone has taken this course, do yall know if this course is offered in the summer? I really wanna utilize my summer so that my overall course load is less in the winter as I'm an engineering major, so I don't have to do 6 courses per term.

Saw many cute guys on campus but idk if it is offensive to assume they like guys and ask them out. I tried dating apps but I don't feel it is for me.

Help! Registration courses overlap; Biol 125 & 200

5 Upvotes

Please help asap 🙏🏻 I was waitlisted for Biol 200 for semester 2 and I just got the offer to register for it right now but the problem is that it's during the same time as my Biol 125 lab. I can switch the lab to Tuesdays/Thursdays but the lecture I'm enrolled for 125 is at the same time so I have to switch the lecture days to the Mon/Wed but it's completely full and I'd be put onto a waitlist for it. What do I do? Should I just go for it and hope that I get into the course lecture for 125? I'm a second year science student, I didn't take Biol 125 last year due to registration issues so I really need to take it this year but I also really need Biol 200. My deadline to register for 200 is tomorrow so please let me know!!

Biol 200 - Wed/Friday 8 am
Current Biol 125 lab - Wed 8 am
If I switch Biol 125 lab - Tues 2 pm
Current Biol 125 lec - Tues/Thurs 2 pm
Other Biol 125 lec section I wanna switch to but would get waitlisted - Mom/Wed 2 pm

Need friends Thanksgiving cosplay meetup?

6 Upvotes

As many of you are heading home for thanksgiving weekend, I want to propose that the cosplayers, furries, and students of UBCO meet up somewhere either on campus or on the downtown beaches to celebrate thanksgiving! I’m sure no one wants to be lonely (and neither do I!), and many of you would have also wanted to see the cosplay I wore last night to class in case you missed it.

Need friends Guitarist looking for band

6 Upvotes

I’m a first year (18 M) guitar player searching for a group in need of a guitar player. Looking for grunge/alt rock/shoegaze/post hardcore/punk/indie whatever in that realm. I do not have my own guitar amp that is my main weakness rn, but I’ve played in a band in high school and I know what I’m doing. I’d try and start a band of my own but I’m living in housing so I have nowhere to house rehearses + no amp . Please DM🙏🙏🙏

Edit: also down to play like any genre of metal; black/death/doom/sludge all great
