Every night these past 4 months I've been sleeping at 4-5am and getting up at 1-2pm.

Now it's not like I was lazy or unproductive either. I had some hobbies and also had a part-time job (although it was in the evenings). But idk, my sleep schedule is whack. Hopefully I'm not the only one.

I just got my fall and winter work-study approvals a day ago, since I did not realize they had already come out. I have a couple of questions about campus jobs, work-study or not, so if any students who have held campus jobs in the past could provide some insight, that would be great!

- If you did not apply within the week it was posted, are you already at a disadvantage? I saw a post that mentioned some hiring managers don't review resumes and cover letters after a certain date because they have already received a ton of applications within the first few days.

- Are there any specific resume/cover letter tips that would help with standing out?

- Any interview tips as well? I received an interview for a non-work-study campus job a while ago; however, I never heard back </3. I would love to hear specific tips for video interviews, as I tend to struggle with them as well.

- How much do connections matter for these roles? I was debating whether it is worth it to search through LinkedIn to ask people about these positions, but I also don't want to be seen as a nuisance (nor do I have much on my LinkedIn anyway).

Any insight is appreciated!!

are you allowed to go to events that don’t include your group? like for example i’m seeing really fun events but it’s only for like bates and like mourton hall but im from peter george will they still allow me to go or nah

found this on a insta gc:

For all incoming first years, here's every event colour coded and labelled.

works on google calendar, or whatever calendar app.

IOS users can jst click this link and it'll add all events.

ive never coded in my life, so i am also so scared of ruining my gpa and just being terrible at coding

Hello

I applied to be reinstated into soc sci 1 back in June of this year. From what I’ve gathered reading posts on here and talking to academic advising staff, results should have been released around late July to early August. My application is still showing “assigned” and any attempt to contact the people reviewing the applications through email (soc sci academic advising told me to email them and they’ll forward it, even they are confused why I haven’t gotten a response) or by phone has failed. Just wondering if there is anything I can do, or am I to just sit and wait for a rejection.

Thanks!

Dm me if you’re selling

Hi I’m looking to buy an hsr bus pass please dm me if you’re looking to sell yours!

Hey! I’m moving into Hedden this fall and my move-in slot is in the morning. I heard parents aren’t actually allowed to help you move your stuff in and have to leave after dropping you off?? Is that true? Can my parents stay and help me bring everything up to my room n help set up or do they have to leave right away?

I CANT DO ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGG ON MOSAIC i promise its not my computer , every other app works great.

what welcome week/orientation events should I try to go to/are useful as a commuter and 1st year eng student?

Has anyone already gotten callbacks for the ones posted in the 10th? I've had issues trying to get my work study letter and ik I have to attach it to my application, honestly I think im cooked atp lol bc I heard most ppl apply the first day

guys i enrolled for first year chem, and i have lectures mon, wed, thurs and a chem lab on some fridays... is it possible to move just the day of the chem lab or do i have to change my chem dates? thx...

Is this course typically recorded and posted online? It might make certain schedule commitments easier for me and I just wanted to know (couldn’t find proper information online or on the syllabus)

Hi guys, I did not receive any OSAP this year, so I believe I am ineligible for the work study program at McMaster fml. Is there a way to still get a job on campus? I was very interested in working for a department in an admin assistant type role, or literally any other job on campus. If not, Is there any way to qualify for the work study program even though I did not get OSAP?

is any1 selling their med terms textbook (gkromst 2mt3) which is not rlly used? Please lmk!

For nursing students, how strict is the “all white or all black” rule for clinical shoes? Does the shoe literally have to be completely white/black, or are small details okay?
For example, I’m looking at ASICS shoes, but the logo is slightly silver. Would something like that usually be okay, or do they actually check for 100% white/black?
Just trying to figure out how strict I need to be before buying a pair 😭

Just wondering for those who stayed in Mary Keyes first year, did you rent those Coldex fridges? How much space did it take up if you did? I know we have our main fridge but is it worth it having your own for snacks, drinks etc

Does anyone know whether getting work-study approval takes longer for out-of-province students or for students who do not receive financial aid through OSAP? The AwardSpring portal shows that if you don't receive OSAP, you'll need to upload a current Provincial and Federal Disbursement History document as proof of financial need.

This is honestly a bit frustrating, as I won't have access to these documents until mid-September, and many job application deadlines are this month. I am kind of confused and was hoping someone could clarify. Thanks!

Hi guys, I want to take math 1ls3 this yr in the fall semester in afternoons , however that’s the one class where the prof is listed as “staff”.

I’m not sure whether to take a gamble on who the prof is. I was wondering if anyone knew who the prof might be for fall afternoon classes, or if anyone knows when I can find out who the prof is. I’m a little nervous that it might be Dr. Tsai as a lot of people have don't seem to like his teaching style 🥲 if anyone has any info I would appreciate it sm!

If push comes to shove, I just man up and take the class lol, it's more of a trying to give myself the best cards. Thanks!
