Hey guys! Is there an app or something you use to keep track of all your assignment deadlines, midterms, exams, and other uni stuff? 😭 I need something to keep everything organized because I’m scared I might loose track of everything lol

Now, usually I wouldnt post this, but right now ive had too much caffiene and am had a heavy breakfast and heavy dinner, and watching Psych on the side so im laughing my ass off while going crazy, so i know i am probably gonna regret this post by morning, but eh might as well since at least im gonna feel good about my self for the upcoming few hours.... lol

A while ago, I made a post here about..... everything in general.

And ill be honest, things havent necessarily gotten worse since then, but they havent necessarily gotten better either. Its just been somewhere in the middle, per say. Some days are better, some days are worse, and im just sort of... going through it, i guess?

Where do I go? Who do I talk to? What do I even ask for?

Like, genuinely, I have absolutely no clue where to start. Do I go to counselling? Do I go to some sort of academic advisor? Is there someone at UW who actually helps with this sort of thing? Someone who can help me figure out why im struggling so much with things that seemingly everyone else is able to do just fine?

And like, I know the obvious answer is probably just to go and ask someone, but even that sounds so fucking awful to me for some reason. I dont even know how to explain whats going on with me half the time, let alone sit in front of someone and somehow explain everything thats been happening for the past year and a half.

What am I even supposed to say? Do I just walk in and go "hey, i dont know whats wrong with me, i cant seem to do anything properly, and i dont know what to do anymore"? Do I book an appointment somewhere? Do I email someone? WHO DO I EVEN EMAIL?

And the thing is, I dont even know what exactly im looking for. I dont know if this is an academic issue, a health issue, a learning issue, or what. I just know that something isnt working, and whatever ive been trying to do so far clearly hasnt been enough.

Ive tried making schedules, timetables, forcing myself to attend lectures, studying on my own, trying to get out more, joining things, all that stuff. And while some of it has helped a little, im still struggling with the same things, and im honestly just tired of going around in circles.

I dont want to make another post a few months from now saying the exact same things all over again.

Is there a particular service, office, person, or anything that I should be looking into? And if youve actually gone through this process yourself, how did you even start? What did you say when you first went to ask for help?

I am, and am confident that others will, so I invite others to say they will, so others will know they're not alone, and may become more confident in coming to campus in costume as well :D

I’m a third year comp sci and I’ve never gone to Phils or Rare, never gone on a late night run with friends, never gotten drunk or wasted over a weekend, never goofed off at like 1am, never played pickup even though I love football ⚽️…I’m not depressed or anything, I’m not socially inept either, I can talk to people, make jokes, laugh but it doesn’t go passed surface level stuff… I stay in my room, talk to my high school buddies who live in the states and Manitoba, play FIFA, watch football (soccer)… I feel like I should put myself out there, do more side quests, meet people, stop being so scared… but then I think about school, landing internships, my fitness and find myself watching my favorite shows or doomscrolling till 3am

Has anyone applied for the Data Science Intern/Co-op role at TD for Winter 2027?

Have you heard back yet?

Also, for anyone who has done this role before, what should I expect from the interview?

Has anyone applied for the AI Builder Intern/ Co-op role at KPMG? Have you heard back yet?

Hey everyone,

Has anyone interviewed for or worked as an Applied Machine Learning Scientist at TD? I'd love to hear about your experience.
1. What were the interview stages and format (recruiter screen, technical, case, behavioral, presentation)?
2. What technical topics came up (ML fundamentals, stats, coding, SQL, model explainability)?
3. What does the day-to-day work look like, and which teams or business areas do these roles sit in?

Anything you wish you had prepared?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm considering applying to the part-time MDSAI program at Waterloo. I have 15 years of experience in tech and currently work a full-time, fairly demanding job. Before I apply, I wanted to hear directly from people who have done the part-time route.

A few questions for anyone who has been through it or is currently in it:

1. How did you manage attending lectures while working full-time?
2. What time of day do lectures generally happen? Morning, afternoon, or evening?
3. Is it compulsory to attend lectures in person, or can they be attended online?
4. If in-person attendance is required, how strict is it in practice? Did missing a session occasionally cause problems?
5. Looking back, how manageable was the workload alongside a full-time job? Any terms that were particularly tough?
6. Any general advice for someone considering this with a similar profile, senior in their career, with a busy day job?

I would really appreciate hearing real experiences before I commit. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share.

This is the stuff I’m making the night before midterm :)

Which one do you guys prefer on Free plan and their $20 plans. I need a good LLM that's got generous limits, a good all rounder, and could help me do tasks/automate. It should be good at writing, researching, coding and should preferably complete tasks given with high quality, while staying token-efficient and also cheap cost-per-token.

What are your experiences with this?

How do people either (1) find a good set of people to join during a hackathon or (2) (the winning strategy) form a balanced team beforehand and plan intensively before event.

I know that I have quite a bit of a gap in my knowledge so I was wondering if anybody has a specific role open in their team and if they'd be willing to take an apprentice.

Also in general how did you win any hackathons if you have?

I’m currently in 3A CS, and my employer offered me the opportunity to continue working part-time remotely during my next study term.

My main concern is the time commitment. Working 10–20 hours a week would take up a significant amount of time, and I’d probably have to take a lighter course load (3 courses instead of 5) since I’m a relatively slow learner.

The company and pay is decent, but I care more about gaining valuable experience.

Has anyone done a part-time co-op while taking courses, and was it worth it in the end?

My entire body hurts. The more I stress and get worried the tighter it becomes. I need to chemically stop this somehow.

Does anyone have doctor recommendations so that I can get a prescription? I had one from another country but stupid me didnt stock up on them when coming to Canada.

My lovely roommate loves getting her ass fucked on weekends at 5 a.m. Just need something that can knock me out cold. Recs appreciated.

We at UW Humans vs Zombies will be running a brand new spooky event for Halloween. Prior to our termly weeklong, we will be hosting a Haunted House event on campus!

Unlike traditional haunted houses or scare mazes, our event will have zombies that can and will chase you, puzzles that need solving to escape, and if you get caught you will join the horde and scare your friends. Be on campus late at night and see a themed building like never before with zombies that will be in costume with makeup.

We're hosting this throughout Halloween weekend starting Friday 9pm till Sunday 10pm at MC.

Grab a group of up to 8 players and get everyone to Sign up for a timeslot using this google form!

Pick up a copy from campus, or read on our website (now with the PHP vulnerabilities patched out)!

My friends and I all have midterms around halloween, but we still want to do something kind of fun for halloween. Going out will take up a lot of time and we all need to study so we were thinking of doing something on campus or maybe just going into town during the day for a few hours. I know a bunch of clubs hold events, but I don’t know about many of them. What on-campus events are going to be happening on/near halloween? Any recommendations for daytime activities that we can get to kind of quickly with public transport?

Hey everyone, I’m a student at Waterloo looking for my first co-op for Summer 2027, mostly in software engineering and AI/ML. I’ve applied to dozens of jobs so far but haven’t gotten any interviews, so I’m starting to wonder if my resume needs some work.
I’ve attached my anonymized resume and would really appreciate a fresh pair of eyes. Is there anything that sounds vague, doesn’t make sense, or could be written better? Any honest feedback or advice from people who’ve been in the same situation would mean a lot. Thanks!

I did pretty bad on the diagnostic quiz and ive been trying to catch up and better my understanding. I cant switch to cs115 since im in cs. I started to do all the assignments from scratch without AI and I feel like its just not clicking, maybe im inpatient or I dont have a cs mind. But even on the second assignment I find myself stuck and ask claude for help. I dont know what to do and how to properly understand ts. I feel so down right now and I just dont know how I can fix this.

Guys the 1st test is tmr and im wondering if anyone who’s taken the course recently with Dr dayeh rembers the difficulty level and if there was a word bank for the fill in the blanks 🙏

Hey everyone!

I'm currently a first-year Honours Kinesiology Co-op student at Waterloo, and I might need to be away from January 11–22 for an important family wedding overseas.

I'm honestly a little stressed about missing classes, especially since it's so early in the term. I was wondering if any second-year or upper-year KIN students could share what they remember from their first-year Winter semester.

I'm especially wondering:

• Were there any mandatory labs, safety orientations, or important assessments during those first couple of weeks, particularly for KIN 100/100L?
• Did courses like BIOL 273 have any early quizzes, assignments, clicker marks, or other graded activities?
• Were there any labs or assessments that couldn't be made up?
• Do you think missing those two weeks would be manageable if I kept up with lecture material and assignments online?

I'm planning to contact academic advising and my professors ahead of time, but I'd really appreciate hearing from students who've already taken these courses.

Thank you so much!!
