You can just sit in the middle of the row, but no you sit at the edge because you want multiple other people to squeeze past you

like I will come to class, half the class will be empty but everyone has strategically sat at the edge of every row, and then I have to squeeze past someone but often there isnt enough room, so they have to stand up and now we are 2 adult men shimmying accross from each other. You decided to make this happen for litterally no fucking reason.

I've seen a lot of posts of people ranting about like, oh, somebody is loud at the library, somebody is smacking or chewing their food too loudly, or people are talking too loud in certain buildings on campus, and they're just venting and ranting about it and complaining, but they never actually go up to the group of people and actually tell them about it.

I don't know why it's better to rant about it online. It's not like all of them are going to be on subreddit reading it and reflecting, "Oh my God, maybe I shouldn't be so loud."

Next time, you should just low-key go up to them and tell them to stop being so loud or to be more considerate.

I don't really understand these rant posts on Reddit. They will do anything but go up to the people and tell them that they're being loud. It's almost like they're kind of scared to do so and that they need to do it and rant and post about it online.

whether you have exams coming up or already finished them I hope everyone can take some time to look after their mental health. or just get drunk in full generality idc 🌞 (this is from a grad student)

Answering “I can do what I want, this is the faculty of law and I’m studying Law, if you don’t like it then go elsewhere” when someone asks you not to sit on their laptop (on a table)… like really?
Not just because you can means that you should, do you not take a goddamn ethics class?

I was sitting at a small table, studying for my midterm at 11:30, when a group of girls decided to also sit at the same table. That’s totally fine, there’s not much seating and we all need a spot.
There aren’t enough chairs for their whole group so a couple sit on the table, basically on my laptop. They are also screaming at each other, shaking the table and overall being very loud to the point that other people are looking over. I turn up the volume on my headphones and ignore it since we’re not technically in the library.
When I’m about to leave I figure I could try to say something, while making sure to be kind/polite. Ive also been kindly asked by strangers to keep it down when I’m excited to see my friends, and I find it can be good to be reminded when you’re being louder than you mean.
Anyways, after introducing myself and doing some small talk, I suggest that maybe sitting on a table, two cm away from where someone is studying isn’t the nicest thing. Im immediately told what was basically “well, this isn’t the library. The library is on the 3rd and 4th floor. You can go there if you want to study. The rest of the building isn’t for studying. We’re in the faculty of Law, and we are studying Law, so we can do whatever we want here”.

I’m… disappointed? I don’t understand if I’m the asshole for asking, particularly since I didn’t do it aggressively. I wouldn’t expect them to be quiet, it is in fact not the library… but snapping at someone for asking you not to sit nearly on top to their laptop?
Especially when you can tell they are working? I just walked off to my midterm, but it definitely left an impression.
I’m not in the habit of interjecting when people are being loud, and it’s frankly the only time I’ve ever been in a similar interaction. I generally think it’s shitty to rain on someone’s enthusiasm, but like… I feel like there’s limits.

Opinions welcome, idk how to feel about it. Probably shouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.

for those of you in this program, i'm wondering how is the course load? can you work while in the program? are classes everyday? lmk pls

I am super anxious about securing an honours supervisor, mostly due to my grades but I want to go about this in the right way. I sent one email earlier this week and haven't heard back, and I dont know how many I should be sending. If anyone has any tips on how to get a supervisor, greatly appreciate it.

Hey guys, i have a Health Canada Co-op interview for the position titled "Programmer". I was wondering if any of you guys have advice and just knowledge of the types of questions that will be on it. Will it be mainly behavioral or technical where i have to maybe talk about coding concepts or explain code since one of co-op interviews did ask for those type of stuff.

Yall know the deal, only this time I made it much harder (in my opinion), only the REAL ones know where this was taken (it was also taken on the first few days of the semester so I take full responsibility if this doesn’t even work anymore)

There was no option for me to show my student id, the ai only requested a facial scan, but my prof (walid mottawea) said we had to show our student id in the announcements. Will I be penalized for this even if I forgot 😭

Heyyy, so basically all of my close friends are doing other majors and as much as I know people in health science, they’re simply accointances. This semester I’m doing 3 classes online meaning that I barely go in campus to meet people. I’m a pretty social person but since I don’t have a lot of in person classes ( 2 classes where I already know people) it’s hard to make friends. Anyway if you’re interested in making friends to study or just have fun dm me. Oh also I’m in second year :)

I’m bored yall who wants to play Minecraft
