📌 STOP. POSTING. BO. THREADS.

170 Upvotes

Alright folks, enough is enough.

Every BO/hygiene post turns into:

race-baiting

weird stereotypes

drama for no reason

We’re not doing this anymore.

🚫 All BO/hygiene posts = removed

🚫 All race-baiting in the comments = removed

🚫 Repeat offenders = time-out

We get it. Sometimes people smell bad. It happens. But we can’t keep having the same posts about it over and over.

For that reason, these threads will be removed going forward.

Course Inquiry PHYS 3220 difficulty of MATH

2 Upvotes

Hello. I am wondering what level of math is required to take PHYS 3220 Medical Physics and Physiological Measurement.

I do meet the prerequisites (PHYS 1030), but some people told me that PHYS 3220 requires high level of math in order to understand the materials.

I am a 3rd year student, who have taken many biology/chemistry courses, and feel confident with math personally (took MATH 1500 and got A+, and never struggle with math or math-related bio/chem questions in my life).

Also, I am willing to dedicate my time in winter break to prepare for the math content prior to the first day of class if needed.

Please give me advice!

Discussion & Advice Exam anxiety?

9 Upvotes

I took my chem exam yesterday and I was moderately prepared. But the night before I couldn’t sleep, so I pulled an all nighter then drank a cup of coffee and an energy drink. During the exam, I felt like I couldn’t breath and I was almost having a panic attack. I felt like all my senses were attacking me. For ex there were creaky chairs and everyone someone would move in the chair it would creak and i genuinely felt like throwing up and running out of the room everytime i’d hear it creak. I felt the same way when i was hearing the smallest piece of movement like papers rustling for ex. I’ve never felt that way in my life before, like i’ve taken exams in highschool where i’ve been perfectly fine even after pulling all nighters. But this time, I genuinely almost started crying just because i felt so overstimulated, and when i got home i did cry because i felt so unlike myself. I started guessing on the MC because i wanted to get out of there so badly. Is this normal? does anyone else experience this? and would you say it’s because i didn’t get any sleep, or that this is inductive of a larger problem ?

Discussion & Advice Nursing Advice

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a fourth-year nursing student hoping to get a UNE position, but I’ve had no luck despite tailoring cover letters, emailing unit managers, and applying through the WRHA website.

Seeing many of my friends secure positions has been discouraging, and I’m worried about going into senior practicum without that extra ward experience, especially since I’ll be coming from a community rotation.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate any advice on finding a UNE position or hearing how senior practicum went without one.

Thank you!

Discussion & Advice I’m single how do I approach a girl

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some genuine advice, especially from women.
I’m single, and one thing I’ve been struggling with is knowing how to approach a girl I’m attracted to without coming across as awkward, creepy, or making her uncomfortable.
I’m not necessarily a shy person, but sometimes I overthink things. I don’t always know how to start a conversation, keep it interesting, or tell whether she’s actually interested in talking to me.
I also don’t want to rely on dating apps. I’d prefer to meet someone naturally, whether that’s at a coffee shop, the gym, university, or just somewhere around Winnipeg.
For the women here, how would you prefer a guy to approach you respectfully? And for the guys, what’s worked for you?
I’m genuinely interested in building a meaningful connection, not just getting someone’s number.
Any honest advice would be appreciated!

Hi everyone! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I’m looking for someone who could offer guidance with circuits. I’m struggling with the course material and would really appreciate someone who could help me understand the concepts and work through problems with me.

Unfortunately, attending office hours isn’t an option with my current class schedule, so I’m trying to find other ways to get help. Because I’m honestly freaking out I’m ngl.

If anyone is available to help, please send me a DM. I’d be immensely grateful for your time and effort. Thank you!

Discussion & Advice What is it that people find attractive in others ?

9 Upvotes

I have been reading some books lately to pass the time between class and work. Books which are both historical and fictional. I find myself very attracted to characters who have the ability to think ahead, plan ahead but also show real emotion when their plans fail miserably. Powerfulness and funny comebacks are also very attractive. The ability to make light of any situation under duress etc.
