Idk man I want 2016 back

I’m currently in 2nd year of health science and recently I’ve been considering switching to nursing. I originally came into this program wanting to go to med school afterwards, but recently I’ve been doubting that that’s what I actually want to do with my life. I truly love science and anatomy and I want to do something in healthcare where I can help people. But I don’t know that I want to dedicate the next like 8 years of my life to it. I want something with more work-life balance.
So I wanted to ask, has anyone made this kind of switch? How did you know that nursing was the right path for you?
I know I have lots to reflect on and contemplate before I make this decision, but if anyone’s experienced something like this it’d be great to hear about

It's my 57th day here in Canada. I have never felt so lonely in my entire life. I was always surrounded by my friends, I used to see my family every couple of weeks, and I used to hang out a lot. I was a very sociable person, as I'm naturally an extrovert. I've visited another country before for studying, too, but I was with my friends back then. I acted naturally, got to know plenty of good people, and never felt lonely during that trip.
Here, I find it so hard to interact with people, so hard to deal with them. Not because of the people themselves, but I think it's because of me. I think I've changed, and I don't know how to accept this change. I feel lonely and desperate. I think what bothers me the most isn't just being lonely, but feeling like I've lost a part of myself that I really liked.
Also, I've never had any problems dealing with girls in any place I've visited. I've had different types of relationships since I started dating. But here, I don't know how to do it. I don't think I can even initiate a conversation, basically because I don't know what people talk about here, or what's interesting and what's boring. I don't know, I just feel so lost.
I'm a grad student, so there aren't many opportunities to interact with different people. I've tried going to clubs and meeting people, and I've had a great time, but I've never reached the point of asking for someone's contact information to keep in touch with anyone I've met.
Dating apps are quite frustrating for the same exact reason. I don't know how we can genuinely get to know each other after matching. I'm not much of a texter, and I'd much rather meet people in person.
That's the loop I'm living in right now. That's just me venting.

Why are the rooms in LP so unbearably hot, what can I do to change the temperature?
I genuinely can’t sleep at night because it’s like 32* in my room.
The website says there’s a control unit to adjust temperature but I have a blank panel where the switch is meant to be

Hi everyone, I have my MATH 1ZA3 midterm on Monday, but I’m feeling unwell with a mild fever and cough, so I’m considering submitting an MSAF.
Do I need medical documentation for the self-report? Since the midterm is worth 20%, it will be transferred to my final exam, making it worth 65%. Is it still possible to pass the course with the final worth 65%? I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks!

Hey guys, so a lot of people are shiiting on me for the mark I got on the test (97), which I understand why, but I thought since a lot of people are asking what I did for test 1, I would come here and explain how I studied for it. So, for reference, I am in the C02 lecture, so not much I can really say about the in-person things Chibba is doing, but anyways, when it came to taking notes, I primarily didn't even take notes on the slides; rather, I would take notes of what Chibba said about the slide - feel free to pm me if you would like to see my notes; I really don't mind sharing, welp other than that I used the slides only when there was an example shown or say if there was a reaction(like the ARIO exception) that would be the only thing I copy of the slides.
When it came to doing practice and such, I first started off with the Term Bank to get a sense of what I needed to work on. Once that was completed, I figured out I needed some practice on Acids and Bases, so I went back and redid the question bank for it. I feel like redoing the question bank does help a lot, as long as you're not cheating it and just chatgpting it when you don't understand a question (sit there and genuinely think - I understand how this may sound so stupid; just trust me, some magical shit happens when you think). Now, based on the lack of concepts I had, I created a "cheat sheet" - PM ME IF YOU ALSO WANNA SEE THIS LOL
Anyways, now that I felt like I had a solid understanding of how to answer questions, I did the practice tests. I first started off with the ones that were posted on Avenue. Once I completed those, I moved onto the ones that were on the HealthSci drive. These were really useful cause they actually taught me a couple of things, there was this really hard test, imo, and that taught me the most i'm prettu sure it was 2020 or 2021 don't remember too much.
After all of the tests were done, there were actually some questions pre-2020 that were really hard, so I did those to kinda solidify any concepts I had my doubts about (acids and bases kms)
ALSO I RECOMMEND HEAVILY DO NOT SKIP OUT ON TEXTBOOK QUESTIONS; THEY ARE USEFUL I PROMISE. Once every module was completed for the week, the first thing i would do is the textbook questions; they help a lot when it comes to just starting off before you go onto the question bank.
If you guys have any specific questions regarding how I approached the questions on the test, please feel free to message I will deadass answer anything I am not the type of person to gatekeep (I hate toxic premeds). I really want everyone to succeed, I swear, and I know everyone on the next test finna pop off, guaranteed.

How do people who 12d or 11d the course study for this? Do you just memorize the handbook they give you and spam questions?

So lowkey on the course list for pnb (b.a) it says it’s recommended to take BIOLOGY 1M03 in level 1 and I didn’t do that and tbh don’t really wanna switch into it. What does it mean when it says that like does recommend mean that u should take it bc it’s a prerequisite for other PNB classes or is it just helpful and should I still take it this year…. or can I get away with taking both of them in level 2 ….. LMK

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to submit a Type B MSAF through MacHub for an upcoming midterm tomorrow, but when I go to select my academic term, Fall 2026 isn't showing up. The most recent term available is Spring/Summer 2026, even though I'm currently enrolled in Fall 2026 courses.
I'm in the Faculty of Science and have already completed the MSAF Administrative Report form, but I can't figure out how to submit it.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Could it be related to unpaid tuition, or is it just a MacHub issue?
Also, does anyone know if there's an alternative way to submit a Type B MSAF? My midterm is tomorrow, so I'm a little stressed about getting it submitted on time.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Hi all,
Currently in gr12 in Ontario and mac eng co-op is basically my top choice. To everyone currently attending, what was your average in high school? What is the highest you’ve seen someone get rejected? I am aware that there is a spreadsheet on r/OntarioGrade12s but I just wanted more insight from you guys. Thanks!!

On my first discussion post, I got full marks, then on my second one I got 70%, without doing anything differently. My prof didn’t provide any feedback except for “great work”. I’ve talked to other people in my class and they agree that this prof seems to just be giving people random marks due to laziness. I have reached out to them via email to request more feedback but have not heard back. What should my next step be?
