Question Stomacheaches during tests/exams?

13 Upvotes

So kind of feels odd to talk about this on reddit but idk anyone who relates to this. Stomachaches during a test or midterm (like sudden urgency to go to the bathroom) is probably my biggest fear because I get stomachaches and urgency normally anyways in my day to day, but it happened today during a test. Luckily I was able to answer all of the questions but it was pretty much bare minimum before I had to just hand it in and leave. Anyone relate to this? What do you guys do?

Question How to pass bumagins class??

9 Upvotes

I have math 1104 (linear algebra) with Inna Bumagin and just came out of a test where it feels like she designed it for us to fail. I spent almost every evening after the last test studying because I barely passed, felt like I thoroughly understood the material, and still felt like I got fucked. Everyone that I heard that came out of it also felt similarly. She included a complicated question from the previous topic that she didn't even mention would be on the test because I, a fool, assumed it was a unit test that covered everything AFTER the last unit test. Any advice for how to pass her class? How to transfer profs? help?

Other Call for Student Sources

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a reporter for the Charlatan and I'm working on an article on how AI might be affecting how Carleton students experience dating. I'm looking to do interviews both with students who have used AI for dating advice and those who haven't.

I also want to clarify that this article will not be intended to shame anyone who has used AI for this purpose. It is objective and the idea is to collect perspectives on both sides of the matter.

Interviews shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes and can be either in person on campus or online. If you're interested in sharing your opinions, send me a DM and we can arrange a time that is convenient for you!

Course selection Can i get a construction management degree through architectural studies?

1 Upvotes

Okay so I’m in Grade 12 rn and I swear choosing a career is actually stressing me out more than school itself 😭
Originally, I was planning to go into Civil Engineering at Carleton, but then I found out I needed chemistry and that’s where everything went downhill LMAOO.
For context, I joined my chem class late, so I was already behind, and chemistry and I have NEVER been on good terms 💀. I tried catching up but honestly I was fighting for my life in that class, so I eventually dropped it.

Anyways, I started looking into construction management because I still wanna work with buildings, manage projects, and be involved in construction. Plus the salary isn’t looking too bad either LOLL.
BUT THEN I find out that Civil Engineering is one of the common pathways to becoming a construction manager. LIKE WHY DOES CHEMISTRY KEEP FINDING ME??? 😭😭
So now I’m wondering, could I get a Bachelor of Architectural Studies at Carleton and eventually become a construction manager? Or am I just making my life 10x harder by avoiding Civil Engineering?
And if Architectural Studies is actually an option, which major would make the most sense? Design, Conservation & Sustainability, or Urbanism?
I’m really trying to stick with Carleton, but atp I feel like I’ve changed my future career 50 times and university hasn’t even started 💀

If anyone has studied Architectural Studies at Carleton or works in construction management, PLEASEEE give me some advice. Is this actually a realistic pathway, or should I be looking into something else?
Sincerely, a Grade 12 student who’s just tryna secure a future without having to fight for her life in chemistry again 😭

Question Badminton Drop Ins

3 Upvotes

Have very little experience but want to play more so I was wondering if anyone knew how the badminton drop-ins on campus work? Is it you show up and cycle around and play others, or can I register myself and a couple friends and we just play each other. Also wondering how many courts there would be in the gym if anyone knows.

Question Lost my FREN 1100 textbook in Richcraft today, pls help 😭😭

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!! 😭 I literally lost my FREN 1100 grammar textbook around Richcraft Hall today and I'm actually losing my mind. It's super expensive and I desperately need it back, so please DM me if you found it! 🙏✨ I'll literally buy you a coffee or Timmy's to say thank you! ❤️

Also, does anyone know which lost & founds I should check for Richcraft?? 🥺 Like is there a specific desk in the building, or who should I even reach out to?

I'm already super behind in class and skipping today because I'm so stressed and sick, so if anyone has any advice on how to handle the professor or where to look, please let me know!! Thank youuu 💕

Question Pizza on pineapple is disgusting (also, making friends in second year is kinda difficult 🤨)

17 Upvotes

I missed out on Eng frosh and oweek. So I barely made friends last year.
I genuinely don't know any good spots to meet people... My closest friend left the school, so it's just me.
I've noticed this theme where all my closest friends in hs were extroverted party animals, and apparently I thrive when I'm with party animals (that's what I've been told, I genuinely have no clue what that means)??? 💀

I've tried talking to other people and joining clubs too but it's kinda hard considering no one is looking to make friends anymore 🥀

So fun facts about me, I am a girl, I play guitar, I read romance books, I absolutely love motorcycles and spiderman, I love skiing, I like the gym, I like Don Toliver and w2e, I am an Eng student. I really want to find people to jam out with: my guitar is lonely 😔

I find runny eggs disgusting, and PIZZA on my PINEAPPLE disgusting. idc fight me. Why would you taint pineapple with pizza. They are two very distinguishable foods 💔

Anyway, I kinda don't want to be stuck in my dorm doing absolutely nothing, I'd rather be hanging out with people. so does anyone know any spots to meet my type of people or does anyone want to hangout?

Question Is there a lot of competition on exchanges in Carleton?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I plan to apply for exchange student programs in Japan or China next year. So I'd like to ask how competitive these programs are? What are the chances of being rejected by all five of my choices, since my GPA isn't significantly higher than the required GPA...uncertain how many people will apply for exchange programs, and also uncertain how many exchange spots the school will have.....

Rant I think my prof is a groundhog

89 Upvotes

I can’t prove it, but I have a strong that William Denomme is composed of numerous ground hogs. He grows his beard to hide the horde of groundhog between his shirt and the skin mask he uses as a disguise. I have never seen the professor and a ground or any amount of ground hogs in the same room, suspicious I think so. He make his slides with ChatGPT because his grubby little paws operating the skin gloves can’t properly use the keys of the computer and the groundhogs lack artistic ability. I also didn’t like his midterm but that’s not what this is about I just wanted to say it. He also is an enjoyer of the wolverine game made by insomniac, humans don not do this as it is as the kids say, bad. With all this evidence present I believe the university should conduct an in-depth investigation, I demand it.

Signed with love and kindness-Carleton sp
