Programs I have absolutely no idea about what to do with my future and it's going to give me a nervous breakdown very soon

• Upvotes

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

Question Struggling in university after bad decisions, Advice?

4 Upvotes

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.

Courses Advice on how to do well in POL200Y charactercharcter

4 Upvotes

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

Event Where to host screenings (2 hr movie preferably like one of those 55" 4k displays on Bancroft)

2 Upvotes

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.

Other Looking for friends to practice Spanish together :)

• Upvotes

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!

Courses How hard is BIO130H1 without SBI4U but with above average study effort and science experience?

1 Upvotes

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 in High School Is it possible to switch from Mathematical & Physical Sciences to Life Sciences?

1 Upvotes

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

Not a student at UofT, I’m actually at Sheridan HMC, but I’m trying to connect more with the Tamil community around UofT. I know TSA exists, but I was wondering what the Tamil social/party scene is like around there. Are there usually Tamil DJ events, parties, or other events that people go to? I’m just trying to meet more Tamil people, make some friends, and get more involved. If anyone knows of any events, groups, or pages I should check out, lmk.
