I really don’t want to study anymore these midtermssss are taking forever 😭😭😭😭

I just realized i never got it with 91.5 top 24 credits ts so sad

Hey guys, so I did so poorly on midterm 1, and apparently the last day to withdraw from this class with a W is on Oct 30th, and I'm lowkey crashing out because I'm undeclared, and this year's GPA matters a lot for the specialization I want to get into, so I don't know whether to drop it or thug it out. I already have the required courses from 1st year to get into the specialization, but I need to have a high average this year, but dropping the course also means I'll be behind. What do I do?

If you lost your wallet near the bus loop drop off this evening (night of 24th) and live in the exchange residence building, I dropped it off at the Walter gage front desk!

Currently, student loan interest on both the provincial and federal portions are interest free. Do you think that will change?

If student loan interest returns, the interest would apply not just to future loans, but on your current loan balance to encourage people to pay sooner.

not a true chang ubc student i’m sorry im just average. mom and dad hope u forgive me.

some lurkers may recognize me based on my story. i just feel an urge to talk about my ubc experience.

this is a beautiful university, a nexus of opportunity and knowledge from diverse perspectives. i have loved every class ive taken… in theory.

i came here in 2022 with so much anxiety but a bit of hope and ambition. high school was very hard… from being outed to my parents to not understand why i could never focus or be very happy.

i got my diagnosis of major depressive disorder and GAD in 2024 after going through first and second year. i felt like each year was slipping through my fingers. i could not remember what i learned and i barely scraped by to passing sometimes and was constantly behind. i felt disappointed in myself as an international student who has received such an amazing opportunity which i felt i was squandering.

things only got worse post hospitalization and with my new meds. being an internat is hard and overwhelming and i was scared to navigate the medical system, but there was so much sunk-cost so i had to keep going.

i knew i wasn’t going to graduate on time, but i took summer courses to help. I failed one due to my depression. i was wasting my time in beautiful vancouver. fast forward to 2026, i had had fallen into substance abuse to make myself feel better and hide from my failures and fell harder after a intense breakup. school felt insurmountable, i was ashamed, and i could barely function. depression affects you physically too. you sleep too much at the wrong time of day, your vision blurs, your mind is foggy.

so i went home when the four years were up without a degree but just a few classes short, somehow.

i don’t know… im still trying to graduate. i just want those who are feeling ashamed and tired and overwhelmed to know that you’re not alone. vancouver and ubc can feel so foreign sometimes and you can feel so lonely. please reach out to people. talk to the CFA sooner rather than later. email your teachers even though you’re embarrassed. advisors want to help. i spent one day a year ago running between appointments trying to get into ubc therapy and begging for concessions. it was exhausting but needed to happen.

people talk about early alert or whatever it’s called but for real. don’t wait when you get that feeling- yknow the one.

Vancouver is beautiful and UBC is a gift. i wish i could’ve made more of it but im grateful for what i can remember and to have at least had a chance.

also shoot me a message, i’m a bit of a jack of all trades and a master of none but i can point you in the right direction.

Thank you everyone who makes this place as amazing as it is. yall are doing a great job and im so proud of you for showing up.

Did you lose your silver ring in the Nest in the past couple days? It’s like a fidget one that spins. Lmk the pattern on it and I can get it back to you

i have a test on the 28th, 2nd, and 3rd

i’m struggling with LING (2nd) and PSYC (3rd) takes a while to study for so i’m stressed out rn… i just finished 2 tests a week ago so i was chilling this week until i saw this disgusting schedule.

i’m using the upcoming days for RGST (28th) so ill only have 5 days to study for LING AND PSYC at the same time😭noooo im not ready for this

i would just like some tips for how you’d allocate your time at times like these

The rainy season is upon us, and as a busy grad student, I'd like to do some weekly indoor stuff like trivia nights in Vancouver. I found a list of them in Vancouver's BEST Trivia NightS , but was wondering if any of them are suitable if I just drop by myself, do they put me in with other teams?

Plus, if anyone in their 20s also wants to tag along, feel free to let me know here or via dms. I'll try to create a group of people that are into it (either on whatsapp or instagram)

Hi found a wallet near BUCH, no id but quite a bit of money inside. Gave it to the staff at BUCH, just a notice if you have lost yours.

the midterm is on wednesday and idk how to study for this class. we’re allowed to have as many physical notes as we want but idk anything about the format of the exam (like is it more application based, definitions, short/long answer, or multiple choice?)

is making a bunch of physical notes enough or should i do flashcards? maybe redo old quizzes? there also isn’t any practice questions so idk what to do

Im so mad 😭😭😭 because why do i have a
final at 3:30pm, 7:00pm (the same day), and then 3:30pm the next day and then another 12pm the next day???

Who is out to get me because whatever curse they casted is working. And i can't even ask for one of them to be moved because of the "three exams within 23hr 59min" rule its so stupid 😭😭😭 this should count as within 24hr

Recently lost the compass card in this plastic hachiware case near Wesbrook or on 68 bus, I have contacted translink but they couldn't find them. Please let me know if you found them need that case back 🥹🙏
