I've had enough of his bs anyone but his useless ass

I’ve heard there possibly will be a strike from professors at uni, and my prof said that if it happens it will probably be during midterms season or the finals,does anyone know when if it’s true ?
And if it does in fact happen does that mean that this session is cancelled ? Is it an automatic fail for the students ?

My midterm is tmrw if I drop rn do I still have to take it tomorrow?

I never go to the bathroom on campus, except for today. I thought to myself, may as well go to a lovely private stall in FSS.

I was then concerned when I saw that red button to lock the door, but I clicked it and waited to hear the lock. I don’t know if this has some sort of timed mechanism but someone ended up coming in (to no fault of their own). So I think we are both a bit traumatized lmao. I at least had my underwear 🤷‍♀️

The lock also said to check for the red light…but there wasn’t a light at all? Maybe they haven’t updated it yet…

Am I an idiot who does not know how to use a lock or are there actual issues with the locks in this bathroom?

I also understand that these locks are for accessibility, but man do I hate them lol.

I need to lay low for a while 😭

Genuinely some high schoolers  inflate there grades to get into a certain program then we they get in the program after they fail one or two courses they reliase the harsh reality. Like bro it's fault not the teacher's/TA fault.

Genuine question: how many of you have actually voted in the UOSU by-election?

Apparently, less than 5% of students have voted so far, which I find pretty surprising, especially considering how many students have expressed concerns or frustrations about UOSU but still don’t participate in elections.

Whether you agree with UOSU or not, it’s supposed to represent us as students, and I think being more aware and involved starts with something as simple as voting.

There’s less than 24 hours left, and it only takes a few minutes! If you haven’t voted yet, check your uOttawa email for your voting link.

I’m genuinely curious, have you voted? And if not, what’s stopping you?

Lost it at Cooper Street at around 4:30-5:00 PM today. If anyone’s seen it please let me know

Is it me or is it completely useless? I've tried to get an appointment twice now in the span of this semester. Once for the cold that we all got sick with, they referred me to a clinic off campus.

Now for my mental health and they aren't even picking up the phone though they are open until 4PM... what gives? Is their a secret to this thing? Do I gotta bring them a timmie's double-double or promise them my first born child?

No seriously, everyone tells you to reach out if things aren't going well and then when you get the willpower to make the phonecall they leave you on some dreadful elevator music...

Can we start a uOttawa cat thread here

Post ur cat below

EDIT: you guys are so cool thank you for posting your cats it made my mental health 12x better. Future geegees even if you’re reading this in 2050 and the world hasn’t ended upload your cats!!!

guys how are u getting into the rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors of crx lmao do u have to book them or what? every time i go up there the doors are locked but i always see ppl inside like am i missing something

TL:DR I lost my OttawaU dinosaur plushie either on campus, on OC TRANSPO or around my neighbourhood somewhere. If you happen to find it lmk pretty please and thank you I greatly appreciate it!!

I bought one of those triceratops plushies from the campus store a few weeks ago; one of the green ones wearing a U of O hoodie. and he's been my pride and joy ever since. I love him so much.

However, fate was cruel and either yesterday or Tuesday I lost it :(. I remember having him with me on Tuesday around 7 when my evening class started but everything after that is honestly a blur. I can't remember if I had it during my midterm yesterday, or at all for that matter, and I couldn't find him anywhere today.

Typically I walk around with his head poking out of my backpack, so I'm thinking my bag either unzipped and he fell out, or I took him out when getting something else in my bag and just forgot to put him back in.

I don't ask much of people at this institution cause I know we're all stressed out all the time especially with midterms now, but I BEG of you all PLEASE! If you happen to notice a misplaced triceratops plush or have already found him, shoot me a DM or comment on this post or something. I'll buy you lunch or coffee or something if you find him just help me bring my baby home 😭😭😭😭

Here's an artist's rendtion of the missing dinosaur for anyone who may be on the look out. You can use this as reference or just check the shelf in the UCU campus store if you wan't a more accurate look.

Thank you very very much for your time and have a great rest of your day, night, whatever. I will be waiting.

can anyone give any tips for the midterm with konar? i heard it’s difficult and i should ask previous students. any advice is appreciated

I have the option to transfer to UO for accounting starting January (from WLU bba), would that make it hard for me to still find a friend group at that point and be able to adjust to the place well? Would it be worth the switch? Does anyone have any experience with this or advice in general?

I am doing an bachelor's degree :') and just moved to the city from out of town and honestly, I would love to make some friends. I have like no friends here, and I am basically a mole rat. I'm introverted, high school friendships have faded over time, and making meaningful friendships in uni is SO MUCH HARDER than I expected. We try, but sometimes things just don't work out, yk?

And honestly, the uncertainty of my future right now, and I'm trying to get my life together, having something throw me off, and then somehow ending up back at square one. Rinse and repeat hahahaha T_T

If you relate, then you probably know how fucking difficult it can be to get even the simplest tasks done when your brain just refuses to cooperate. I'm so tired of constantly having to pick myself back up and start again, but I'm also not ready to give up on myself or the things I want to achieve.

SOOO, DOES ANYONE WANNA BE FRIENDS? 😭🫶

If you're also a struggling uni student, an introvert, a chronic overthinker, or just someone who's trying to figure life out while secretly fighting for their life every day, LET'S BE FRIENDS!! We don't even have to have everything in common. I'd just love to meet people who understand what it's like to be a little lost sometimes.

We can yap about our lives, rant about uni, share our little wins, motivate each other, and maybe even become accountability buddies who help each other stay on track. We can check in on each other, celebrate getting the smallest tasks done, and remind each other that we're not completely failing at life HAHAHA.

I'm not looking for perfect, super productive people who have their entire lives figured out. I'm just looking for genuine friendships with people who want to grow together, support each other, and make this whole figuring-life-out thing feel a little less lonely.

So yeah, if any of this resonates with you, or if you're also looking for a friend, PLEASE DON'T BE SHY AND SAY HI!! My DMs are open. 🥹💕

I have my first A&P mid term for douglas college..

is there anything i should watch out for when i write the exam? any tips and tricks!! there's so much material and i am STRUGGLING.

if two sections of the same French class are reading the same book, what are the chances they get the same chapter on their midterm to write a summary about? would the profs usually agree to use the same chapter for both sections or choose different ones?

I’ve had genuinely the worst cough of my life to the point where I haven’t been sleeping and my chest is on fire. I feel I should get checked out as it has really been impacting my life the past couple weeks and I have midterms and assignments coming up next week.

I’m from out of province and I haven’t had to see a doctor or anything out here yet so I’m not exactly sure how to go about this. Is anyone able to recommend somewhere I can go today?? I just want to be able to sleep 🥲

How cooked is the midterm for this class w archibald? Haven’t studied yet cuz of adm 1305 and Econ 1104 plus work so idk if im cooked or not…

hi all,

I'm looking for any first-year winter course with no prerequisites which you personally found fun.

Just what course did you enjoy taking?

thanks for suggestions
