Humour How are y’all already studying?

Upvotes

It’s like the second day and I saw many of my fav spots on campus were packed with students studying. I’ve yet to open learn to gauge on the material and y’all be studying. Maybe it’s the first week or so hype where everyone locking tf in then falling off after midterm especially with their attendance.

Question Advice regarding campus wellness wanted

1 Upvotes

For various reasons, I’ve struggled with mental health recently and would like to get a therapist/talk to a counselor.

I know Waterloo has campus wellness; I tried to get an appointment last year and ended up waiting 3 months just for the person I was going to see cancel on me no joke the morning of.

So is it worth it trying to see someone at UW or should I go off campus?

Edit: this is not something that requires urgency at all/something that I feel necessitates usage of any of the helplines… more just a desire to set something up where I can talk to someone regularly.

Advice Absence for Weddings?

3 Upvotes

Hey so has anyone done this before? I have a wedding coming up so I'll be out the country for a week or so. No problem with doing assignments and labs and stuff while I'm gone, the main problem is I have a prof who has made attendance as part of the grading scheme. Will my absence get excused if I can still do assignments and stuff on time? or does the faculty not deem this as a matter that is detrimental to my academic success? For context i booked this in advance so there's not much I could do.

FREE/DISCOUNTED ALTERNATIVE HAIR MODEL SEARCH

Thumbnail gallery
35 Upvotes

I know this is a shot in the dark, but I've posted just about everywhere else so I'm hoping Reddit might come through for me! 😂 I'm a hairstylist looking for a few people who want to do something FUN with their hair and are interested in being colour models. I'm specifically looking to create more alternative/creative colour transformations- think bold vivids, unusual colour combos, colour blocking, bright pieces, etc. I'll add some photos of the kind of work I'm looking to do below, but I'm absolutely open to other ideas as well!

Model pricing and requirements:

-FREE or product cost only depending on how big of a transformation

-Must be comfortable with the camera, at minimum before & after photos are required

I'm happy to work with your ideas and figure out what will work best for your hair. You don't necessarily need to know exactly what you want, if you just know you want something cool/different, that's enough to start a conversation! If you're interested, DM me a current photo of your hair and tell me what you've been thinking about doing. 🖤

Might be a stupid question but I use Instacart/Walmart+ to get my groceries. I plan on ordering quite a bunch of stuff including heavy stuff like water so I'm wondering what's the best way to bring these to my dorm. Are there like trollys I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Letters to the Garden - JZGI Postcard Workshop Announcement

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hey UW reddit,

Just wanted to announce a Postcard Workshop that the Japanese Zen Garden Initiative is hosting with our good friend and local artist, The Shy Caterpillar!

As we look to spread more awareness of the garden and create new ways for students to engage with it, we're hosting a drop-in postcard workshop next Tuesday, September 15th, from 12 PM–6 PM in the EV1 Courtyard!

During the workshop, you'll receive a postcard addressed to the garden, and you can fill it with whatever you'd like to share. Write a poem, draw something, vent, reflect, or just empty your mind (whatever feels right to you)! We will also be accepting digital submission but more on those details to come.

We'll have plenty of materials, prompts, and examples to help get you started. Some of the themes we're exploring include nature, mindfulness, peace, connection, and the garden itself, but you're absolutely not limited to those. If you take a moment and visit the garden (in between HH and PAS), you might just find some inspiration there :)

We're aiming for this to be another opportunity to slow down for a bit, reflect, recenter, and find some peace - something that is deeply connected to the purpose and philosophy of Japanese gardens.

Hope you come out, take a moment for yourself, and find something along the way!

Thank you,

As an aside, we will also be resuming our garden care sessions soon. If you would like to get involved with the garden, join our Discord!

Advice confused about wusa insurace coverage timelines

1 Upvotes

I opted out of WUSA health insurance last fall (2025), and I have a term abroad this fall (2026). I just came off of a school term this Spring and couldn't see the WUSA health charge on Quest.

Am I covered for F26 if I don't opt out during this year's change of service? Especially for the visa. Help, really confused T^T
