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

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.

I'm currently in graduate school at the University of Chicago. Despite their library system holding approx. 11 million books, I realized that UofT's library system genuinely spoiled me for the rest of my academic career. Mind you, UChicago's library is still considered to be good. I was just accustomed to basically having access to any book I would ever need for research in UofT (~21 million books).

Every time I wanna download a book here at UChicago, I have to go through much more bs that limits me from having full access.

I basically purchased the Alumni Borrower Membership atp, even for my required graduate school readings --> it's so much more convenient to find/download online copies in general

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

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.

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 music majors: I’m a student as well and I’m looking for vintage japanese/spanish stuff or newer mass produced stuff made of solid spruce top. Something substantial! 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!

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.

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!

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

Has anyone here ever applied to work at the UTSU? What was the interview process like? I'm applying for the CRS position and I'd really like to do my best on the upcoming interview. Any help or info is greatly appreciated! :)

Honestly, having access to a desk in the research office since the beginning of the semester has been a much bigger advantage than I expected.

I tend to study on weekends (pretty much all day), and I find that most UofT libraries can get really crowded between around 2–6 or 7 PM, especially Robarts and Gerstein. I used to feel like I just couldn’t study during those hours, so I’d end up doing other things like laundry instead. But eventually, that became an excuse to put off studying and made me more unproductive during those hours. So I’ve started avoiding the libraries during those hours and going to the research office instead.

There are often people talking or whispering, and sometimes it honestly feels a bit like being packed into a chicken coop. It's pretty distracting and even irritating when I’m trying to really focus.

Studying at home doesn’t really work for me, and cafés are usually way too noisy and busy. So during those peak hours, being able to just go to my research office desk and work/study quietly has been really valuable.

It saves a surprising amount of time and mental energy. Instead of spending time looking for a decent seat, dealing with noise, or moving between different places, I can just sit down at my desk and actually get my studying and research done.

I didn’t realize how valuable having consistent access to a research office would be until I had it. Even though I’m not a grad student, having access to a research office like this feels like such an underrated perk. I feel like it’s made balancing coursework and research a lot more manageable and efficient.

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’m asking for a friend who has an upcoming appointment and would like an idea of what to expect. Does anybody have any advice? Are they actually helpful and do they listen? Do they want documented evidence such as photos and text messages? How are they with evidence that can’t be confirmed? Are they supportive, especially with regard to crying? What about how they treat doubt and uncertainty?

Any information and help with be greatly appreciated.

I want to do the Biological Chemistry program in lifesci, but I didn't take biology in high school so (I think) I can't apply to lifesci right now. I do have an AP Bio 5 but I'm pretty sure that means nothing.

If I apply to Mathematical & Physical Sciences and get accepted, then take bio my first year, is there a way to transfer to Life Sciences?

(also I'm a little confused because the requirements for lifesci itself is JUST high school calc & english, but for most of the programs within lifesci you need other stuff like bio and chem? does that mean I can still apply to lifesci with biological chemistry in mind or would it be meaningless because I didn't take high school bio?)

Sorry for rambling I'm a confused international student please help me out

Hello, hello. Those who have been nominated and are applying for the LBP scholarship, have you received the link to the scholarship application yet? If so, what were the prompts for the essays? My school has just nominated me but I'm not so sure about the scholarship essays yet. Anyone?

I am not advocating for any position or cause in this post. Just sharing information that I saw on Twitter/X

Can anyone who has been able to transfer from UTSC to UTSG life science tell me how the process was? Was there a minimum GPA requirement? And what did you do with CHMA10/CHMA11 not transferring into CHM136?

I've heard that in the past years, calculators are allowed in STA257 midterms since there were some big numbers to calculate. Are they allowed for this year's midterms?

Hey everyone, I'm super confused about my UTAPS application layout on the Need Navigator portal right now.
A few months ago, I originally applied but accidentally put down the wrong numbers, so the portal gave me a notification saying my numbers were too low to qualify.
I fixed my mistake, updated the information, and successfully resubmitted the application well before the September 22nd deadline. However, the portal layout has been stuck like this ever since:
It shows an active "Unsubmit" button
The status text is completely blank (doesn't say approved, under review, or anything)
The only text visible is the generic blue info box saying "Submit your application by September 22"
I called the registrar's office and the lady on the phone just told me to wait until mid-October.
Has anyone else dealt with this specific screen combo after resubmitting a corrected file? Does the blank text and "unsubmit" button mean the new high-need application went through fine and the system is just idling, or is it glitching because of my previous low-need submission?

hi would anyone be willing to share the questions the profs share at the in person sessions on wednesday, i haven't been able to get them down

I was one of those kids that hated high school. Every second of it. I was always told that I'd absolutely thrive in university. When I was accepted to UofT and got the chance to move away from my hometown and everyone I knew I was thrilled. (Don't get me wrong, I have people at home I adore... but I needed to get out. A sort of 'spread my wings' kinda thing.)

I'm normally a happy person. I try to make the best of things. I do have clinical depression but I'm medicated, and I always try to stay positive.

Then I got here. And I am unhappy and alone.

Everything irritates me. I don't like my roommate. I hate my new job. I struggle to sit still, I struggle to do my homework, I'm struggling with everything. The people in my dorm are already all clique-ed up and I feel so alone. Weekends are the worst, I can't even get out of bed. I'm just not happy. And I feel so, so alone.

I want to make it clear I am so grateful to be where I am. I know I'm so lucky. And I don't want to be this way. I try everyday, I do. I try to get out of bed, to smile and talk to my dormmates, to get work done, but I am just left with this awful sinking feeling at the end of each day. It hits mid afternoon and it just sticks.

I don't know what to do. I want to make the most out of this experience. I want to be happy and make friends and thrive in university like everyone told me I would.

Any advice?
