my best friend got one and now she completely neglects me and spends all her time with her boyfriend. Please don’t be one of these people it’s heartbreaking seeing someone do this to you

edit: there’s nothing wrong with having a s/o you guys. However removing every person in your life for one singular person is selfish, especially if it is people who have been there for you even before your s/o. Never forget what others have done for you. I’m grateful for having this phase when i was 16 as i know how to balance connections now, and i know how quickly relationships can turn! And trust me when that happens you will definitely need your friends again

I understand there’s midterms and whatnot, but the amount of people who come to school (whilst coughing up a lung) is insane. Some of us have health issues and can’t afford to get sick. And some of y’all don’t even wear a mask, like, are you intentionally trying to spread your germs?

My companion of 19 years has deteriorated significantly and upon visiting the vet today, they recommended euthanizing her to preserve her quality of life and prevent suffering. As such, my family has decided to put her to sleep soon (of course, after planning to pamper her for the foreseeable future).

Even the prospect of this news has impacted me significantly, but especially after the fact, I just know I’m going to be in a terrible mental state. I’ve already cried for a few hours.

I don’t have any major assignments of exams coming up, a few essays here and there, but I’m not sure if I would even be able to attend class in my state of grief.

Do you think this would be reason enough for academic concession on compassionate grounds?

I always feel like I am being stared at/judged at this university and I can't tell if it's in my head. Do I look weird 😭

What are the logistics of extending hours of a library/multiple libraries to be 24hrs?

I think many other Canadian universities have this and I don't know why we don't, so I feel like I must be missing something

I know ikb is open for a very long time but it's not ALL the time and many students would like to continue working later

Also, I know you can technically be in faculty buildings as long as you want but an open library would be a much better option

I am a commuter and I am wondering in what study spaces is it appropriate/not appropriate to eat.

I can't focus in busy places like cafes or the nest so I like to find faculty buildings, classrooms and libraries. However when it's super quiet it feels like it is not appropriate to be eating... Are there certain places where it's 100% not allowed?

They aren't releasing averages how did u guys do ?

I LOVE THEM. but why is there a single turkey slice in a $13 sandwich… like pleaseee im not even exaggerating there was a single turkey slice in my whole sandwich. i feel like they never used to be like that??

Sometimes all you need in life is a really good sandwich. What's the best one around here?

I don't have friends yet to go out and do something :(

What can I do that's either fine alone or a place to meet people?

I am suffering from a bad flare up of Achilles tendonitis and I am having extreme difficulty walking. Given the gargantuan Godzilla's ass sized campus we are on, this has made it impossible to both recover properly and get to class without mobility aids. I cannot afford the absurd price for a brand new wheelchair, so I was hoping someone could please lend me one (it'd be like a month to recover at most)

I'm freaking out because I'm a transfer student, and so by habit I may have accidentally put down my old institution's student id on my first two midterms this year. I've already emailed the professor and the TAs. Will I be getting a zero? This is so brutal I hope that isn't the case.

how did yall do?

EDIT: I have had to lock my dms due to the plethora of women in there after reading that I am on UBC Solar, ladies I am taken.

So I’ve been dating this girl for a while now and things have been going pretty well but recently I’ve started noticing some red flags.

For context, I’m on UBC Solar, which for those who don’t know is probably the best engineering design team at UBC. I don’t really like bringing it up because I try to stay humble about it.

Anyway, when we first met she seemed genuinely interested in me as a person, but looking back I realized everything changed when I casually mentioned I was on UBC Solar.

She suddenly started laughing at all my jokes, asking about my day, wanting to spend time with me, etc. At first I thought she just liked me but now I’m starting to think it was the UBC Solar thing.

The other day she asked me how the car was coming along. I hadn’t even brought up UBC Solar that day. Like why is she thinking about it so much?

I’m worried she doesn’t actually love me and is just attracted to the prestige of dating someone on UBC Solar. I get that it’s a pretty big deal but I wish she could see past that and appreciate me for who I am.

I’ve considered telling her I got kicked off UBC Solar just to see if she’d stay with me, but I’m scared she’d leave.

Has anyone else on UBC Solar experienced this? Or is this just something that comes with being on UBC Solar?

So during the summer I started dating this girl. We are both local to metro van but we previously commuted ~1.5-2hrs each, we both live kinda far away from UBC.

The relationship was alright, pretty casual. I liked hanging out with her and she is really attractive. Suddenly in September I got a student housing offer, an exchange nano apartment.

I moved in quickly. My girlfriend started to become more clingy and wanted to stay over every night. We had never really slept over at each other's houses too much.

She treats the nano apartment as though it is hers too, and I feel like she doesn't really see me as a person anymore.

I never thought we would get this far because honestly she's pretty out of my league and never seemed too interested in my hobbies, friends, ect. I want to break up with her but I'm worried kicking her out of my nano apartment would mean she would struggle academically and resent me for it.

TL;DR

my gf is using me for on campus housing, how do I deal with this?

Appreciate any advice.

Is it better to go through all the webWorks and study that way or to do multiple practice exams? I don’t have the most time so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do both fully. Thanks.

Does anyone know why the fire alarm speaker in Tallwood rooms is playing music after the announcement about the inspection? It’s been going on for a while and is pretty annoying.

hi! i was originally considering doing exchange in another country but it might be too complex cuz i’m an international student so i dont really want to complex things. does anyone have experience doing a summer abroad especially in lse or ucb? any input helps as I’m not sure how summer abroad might be if it’s less lively than a term exchange

You will only feel the pain of ass

Should I dump him? He said he has too many things on his plate and can’t manage with Solar in the picture. I’m not like the smartest person, so when I first met him and found out he’s on Solar I thought this would be a good opportunity to pick his brain and teach me how to code. But he’s leaving now so like what’s he even good for

I also wanted to use his name as clout to maybe get in next year

where it's not busy and where there won't be a lot of people usually!
