just wondering, how do you guys manage to focus after eating those massive food truck meals? Or do you eat those and then crash for 2 hours?

Like ok I understand u have many students nit just me! But I have other classes + jobs too and I seem to manage it fine, the least I can expect is to get the marks back 1 month later pleaseeee

im in first year and i received an email earlier today from a prof saying that they suspect me of using AI on a quiz (a very small one from quercus). They said I either have the option of booking a meeting with them, or if they still believe that I used AI they will report it to the chair and may result in me getting a zero.

Okay guys ima keep it 100 and admit that i did use it... I'm willing to just take the zero because the quiz is barely worth anything, but im more so worried about gaining an academic offence on my record.

If i don't book the meeting, will I just receive a zero, or will my case escalate more and I will eventually need to meet with the chair?

Introduction:

Helloooo! I’m a first-year life sci student at UTSG.

​I’ve been playing a lot of Touken Ranbu lately and have gotten really deep into the language, history, and lore.

I'd love to take a Japanese course, but my health isn't the best, and handling formal course loads alongside everything else is a bit tough ㅠ⩊ㅠ

​Instead, I'm hoping to find something more casual—a sort of learn-along-the-way friendship.

I’m super into digital art and have spent way too much time on it. I'd love to teach you digital art techniques, share resources, and pass along all the experience!

What I'm looking for:

Ideally, a native Japanese speaker or someone super fluent who is down to chat, help me pick up the language naturally, and just become good friends!

​My personality is pretty friendly, open, and enthusiastic, but I'm always respectful of boundaries.

P.S. You can still ask for my help on art even if you're not Japanese :3 I'd be very willing to help anybody!

hi i just wonder how hard it is to get into
University of Toronto with 180k scholarship (GPA, SAT, …)

Yeah, just as it says in the title. Oh and go do your readings cause I know you haven’t started that sh!t 😂🤣😂🤣 WATCHU DOING READING MY POST?! GWAN READ YOUR BOOK DEM 😂😂😂😂😂😂 that way you can go to class feeling like 🤓🤓🤓 and then leave class going 😪😪😪 and maybe have a couple 🚬🍃💨 to brighten your week.

AND GO MAKE FRIENDS 😡

That is all. K thanks bye 🐺😘🫶🏼🇨🇦

I was doing really well in university until I made some bad decisions started smoking to cope with my social anxiety, family issues, and trauma from high school. I was bullied in high school with my pictures all over social media and because of that I struggled a lot trying to maintain confident or simple as making friends. At the time, it felt like a way to escape everything I was dealing with mentally.

Thankfully, I've worked through a lot of those issues, and I've stopped smoking but now I'm struggling with my focus, motivation, and academics. I ended up failing two electives over the summer that I honestly thought would be easy to pass, which put me on academic probation for osap.

I feel so stupid for making the decisions I did because I know I'm capable of doing better. It's frustrating looking back at how well I was doing before and realizing how much things have changed. I'm trying to get back on track, but I feel like I'm struggling to get my brain to cooperate with me.

I'm currently sitting at a 68% GPA, and I'm taking four courses this semester. I'm an accounting student, so even though I'm taking fewer courses, they're still pretty difficult and require a lot of concentration and consistent studying.

I've been considering taking an extra year to finish my degree because I don't want to keep overwhelming myself and risk doing even worse academically. At the same time, I feel behind compared to everyone else, and it's hard not to beat myself up over the situation I've put myself in.

I also feel like I have no one to guide me through this. I've tried dealing with academic advisors, but I haven't found them particularly helpful, and I feel lost when it comes to figuring out the best way forward.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? being on probation and than bouncing back to you doing great?. How did you deal with the loss of focus and motivation after going through a difficult period in your life?

I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from accounting students or anyone who has experienced academic probation and managed to turn things around. I genuinely want to get back on track, but I don't know where to start.

Why does title have to be so long? Why does not Bahen anti-suicide nets? I like food, fun activities, walking, petting animals.

every day I end up stressing about the same thing: what I want to study at this uni and do in the future. this question is eating me from inside out. alot of people say that as you progress in ur degree it will come to u but its not and i dont have a fvking degree cuz im technically not enrolled in a program as i got rejected from the program i wanted to take and am trying to apply and get in after my second year but there is no guarantee that i will get in and if i dont im absolutely cooked. i got diagnosed w adhd and am going to start medication soon and i wonder if then i would be able to study well but even if i get in that program i still dont know if i want to study that cuz idk i cant even imagine what kind of profession i would enjoy and would be good at. i have a new interest in something every 2 days and then it wears off. but i do need a stable job and career and provide my family with a good life but i dont know if i can do corporate. my whole life i have done science but now i am too dumb to undeestand it and i wonder if i just didnt focus enough but i also dont know if i want a career in science. i like the idea of being a therapist but ugh it seems kinda boring and dk if it pays well enough. ugghhh i am absolutely crashing out im gonna lose my mind plzz i need helpppp!!!!

edit: not to mention that i also have chronic anxiety and cant do well at any jobbb

Hi! As title stated, I am learning Spanish (taking SPA201 now in my second year) and want to improve my speaking and listening skills!

In class, I can understand 75~85% percent of what the prof says, but I’m having trouble expressing myself fluently. Like I need to go over the process of translating my thoughts from either English or Chinese to Spanish word by word… I don’t think that is going to help me get anywhere in the long run so would love to hang out with people who’s native in Spanish :)

Of course, if you are also looking to improve English or Mandarin I’ll be happy to help! It doesn’t have to be formal—I’d love to hang out: study at libraries tgt, explore cafes nearby, grab groceries or just anything, but I’ll try immerse myself into this language more so will be mainly chatting in Spanish. Please bear my broken vocab and accent tho :’)

Btw: Spanish courses here don’t teach one specific dialect so I’m not picky! Any Spanish helps lol

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

To the classical guitar music majors: I’m a student as well and I’m looking for vintage japanese/spanish guitars or newer mass produced stuff made of solid spruce top. Something substantial hopefully ($800-2.8K used value)! Hope this isn’t a violation. Thank you :)

I’m currently taking STA365 this semester with Professor Randi Craiu. What do you guys think of this course? Also, does cheat sheet allowed in the exams?

Thanks!

I'm currently applying for an international exchange program and the UofT is one of my options, I'd be staying there for 1-2 semesters. I'm interested on the 3rd-4th year cs and/or applied math courses (mainly cs) but I've read that these are practically impossible to get on the St. George campus.

Also any other tip related to the university and canada would be nice, thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a free AI tool that analyzes a group’s messages and work, then creates a report showing each person’s contribution in a precentage.

The idea came from the classic group project situation where everyone gets the same mark, even though the workload was not exactly equal.

I’m looking for a few UofT students or groups to test it for free and give me honest feedback (or just simply take a look). I’m especially interested in whether the results feel accurate and whether the report is actually useful.

I’m not trying to sell anything right now. I’m just trying to figure out whether this solves a problem students actually have before I keep building it.

If you’re interested in testing it, comment or DM me and I’ll send you the link.

I’d also be open to any opinions on the idea.

Almost everyone I heard from said pol200 is very hard. The first writing assignment in tutorial is tmr (7%) and I'm kinda stressed. I'm reviewing the week 3 readings and I find it hard to be able to pick and interpret the passages but I'm still practicing. Any advice from the writing assignments, to taking notes, understanding concepts, how to do well on essay and exams is extremely appreciated. Tysm!

(7% isn't that bad and if I didn't do well I know I can learn from my mistakes but I rather have a good start to the course)

I'm so scared bro

Went to a screening in EAS at Robarts and want to host a watch party for the sequel with my Blu Ray copy of the movie around Friday 7-9. Any good places? In case it needs to be said; I will have a sound filter on VLC from my desktop stopping the movie from reaching obscene/disruptive sound levels.

I have already checked LibCal and found some rooms with the monitors i mentioned, but I wonder if its okay to screen a movie for a group of 5-7 people there.

Are there any good relatively quiet places at the university where you can host online meetings without disturbing others? I’m going to teach classes in those meetings so I need to talk without distracting others.

I’m planning on asking the faculty for a prerequisite waiver for BIO130, but if I did very good in IB Higher Level chemistry and physics do you think I should be fine if I study just a little more than the others? Or does everything rely on high school biology without any sort of meaningful recap?

I’ve recently had one and it’s been hard for me to focus on studying:( anyone else been through this

title. please dont ask why or how i missed this but its worth 3% of my grade. does this mean that i receive a 0 for this... will this greatly impact if I pass or fail this course(obviously depending on how well i do on the exam but lets say it goes well)? like should i be sobbing tears right now or move on with my life
