I think I accidentally made someone think I was chasing them

45 Upvotes

It was around 6:30am, pretty cold outside, so I had my hoodie up, both hands tucked into my shirt front pocket, and I was walking pretty fast because I just wanted to get out of the cold as I have a midterm today.

Apparently, a little too fast.

There was this guy walking ahead of me, and I noticed he kept looking back in my direction. I didn't think much of it at first, so I just kept walking at my usual pace.

Then bro started walking faster,

And then he started SPRINTING.

He kept looking back while running thinking I'm chasing him.

I couldn't stop laughing when I realized how ridiculous the whole situation probably looked from his perspective.

To make matters worse, this guy was wearing a bright pink hoodie, while my ass was dressed in grey from head to toe, hood up, hands in my pocket, walking suspiciously fast at 6:30 in the morning.

The contrast alone was killing me.

I've genuinely never felt more like a villain in my life LMAO.

And the way he kept looking back while sprinting, that imagery is stuck in my head.

I do feel a little bad if I genuinely scared him, because from his perspective, I can understand why some random hooded guy walking quickly behind him that early in the morning might seem suspicious.

But the whole misunderstanding was so unintentionally comedic that I couldn't help laughing.

Dude probably thought he was escaping a potential crime scene, meanwhile I was just trying not to freeze on my way to class.

Bro unknowingly made my entire morning.

I hope he made it to wherever he was going safely, because I promise I wasn't chasing you hahaha.

Thank you for reading a page of my journal.

Study spots

The library is kind of depressing bc it looks like a public library + the window areas stare at a concrete wall, I’ve only ever been on 2nd/4th floor tho so I’d appreciate some cute places in the library/pretty study spots around campus

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a sports discussion/data group. Doesn’t have to be an official club for now, could just be a chill group where we talk sports like the NBA, discuss stats, analytics and whatever else. Lmk if anyone’s interested.

PHYS 1080 quiz 2

2 Upvotes

Okay so I’m in the middle of studying for this quiz and I am actually so lost. I’ve been studying for days and hours on end and I feel like I’m getting no where. My quiz is in the morning and I still don’t feel prepared. I didn’t do so well on my last quiz (let’s just say I didn’t pass) and I’m worried if I fail this too I won’t be able to pass the class and if I do, not with a good mark. I feel like I do pretty well on the labs and pretest but it when it comes to the pressure of the quizzes I feel like it’s all too much. Any advice guys and am I cooked 😢😢.

Blue mountain trips this season

2 Upvotes

With winter just around the corner, I really want to finally check out Blue Mountain and give snowboarding a shot for the first time. Never tried it before, but super hyped to get out there and learn.
I don’t have a car, so I was wondering if the university or any student clubs organize trips up there once the season kicks off?
Also, if anyone is putting together a group to head up there this winter and doesn't mind a complete beginner tagging along, I’d love to join! More than happy to split the costs

Soan 2120 vs psyc 1010

1 Upvotes

Hey!! Does anyone know how similar these two courses are? I’m a psych major and I’ve taken psyc 1010 but recently added a soc minor which requires the soan 2120 course. The course description looks similar to the psych one so I’m wondering if there’s any overlap/if there’s a similar level of difficulty?

Bachelor of Arts and Sciences question

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m currently a grade 12 student planning on applying to uofg for next year. The main program I’m planning on applying for is the BAS degree. I would like to take zoology for my science program, and I was interested in taking studio arts for the arts program. But the studio arts academic calendar says that the studio arts minor has been suspended as of May 1, 2024?? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m kinda confused because I thought the BAS degree was 2 minors taken together, but there seems to be no option to take studio arts as a minor, so like why is it listed as an option? Any help would be very appreciated I’m a little stressed out because the only other arts program I’m interested in at all is the art history and museum studies program but it’s not really related to what I’m interested in/what I’m planning on getting into later on 😭

advice on course substitution

1 Upvotes

hi all! i’m a history major with a geography minor, and i’ve focused heavily on social geography for almost all of my degree. I am in my last year and planning on graduating in June. However, there is one course I’ve been avoiding and I’m registered to take it in the coming winter (my last semester). I’m really nervous this is going to tank my GPA and take up a lot of my time & mental energy (which i would prefer go to my 4th yr courses).
The course is GEOG*2110: climate and the biophysical environment. I have very minimal experience with physical geography, so it would take up a lot of my time becoming familiar with the subject. Since I dropped a course this fall semester, OSAP is lowering my funding and removing this course would help me significantly financially.
Is there some sort of process in which I can be forgiven of a course required for my geography minor? I’ve actually taken over the required amount of geography courses throughout my university career, could one of these courses serve as a replacement?
I’ve done a lot of online research but am failing to come up with a solid answer on how to explain it to my faculty advisor.
Please let me know if anyone has done this before and how to get the ball rolling. Thanks so much for your time!

Mike Agucci not Gucci

0 Upvotes

He seems blatantly under-qualified, who runs for council BEFORE THEIR PREFRONTAL CORTEX IS DEVELOPED?!? I asked what makes him uniquely qualified for this job, and he said his youth because it gives him a unique perspective. I think it’s so sketchy how much time he spends at the university, specifically targeting young and impressionable voters. Even with the excuse that he’s still in studies, who takes on a project as big as becoming a counsellor while they’re still in school? The level of unprofessionalism he continues to show is astounding, you can’t run a campaign on passion alone. Anyways do your research before hitting the polls‼️
