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.

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

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 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

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 cant be alone

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?

I lowkey know I did horrible and want to keep my hopes up

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

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??

Just know me as the UBC Solar Reddit guy 😝

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.

hey guys, is it normal to completely bomb the first chem 121 midterm? i genuinely spent the entire day yesterday studying and i still wasn’t able to finish the exam today and fucked up the questions i did do. send help

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

How was it everyone? I think I got cooked, especially that mc….

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.

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

Which building? Visiting a friend and keep hearing this noise outside

First of all...i forgot to bring a calculator. Second of all...i wasn't feeling good tbh like I've been down from all aspects and I feel like the more I studies like shoving down the information in my brain, the worse everything got. I could only do like half of the test and I just know almost all of it is wrong. What are yalls state coz of this midterm?

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.

Thinking about taking this course next sem, but I heard that majority of your grade is based on 4 quizzes that you take.

can anyone speak to the difficulty of them? also whats the difference between the online and in-person sections, thanks!

I was told that the party in front of the nest and the one in the pit aren't fun. Which are some of your favorites? I know that ski and board and cvc is having one... how are those? Are there any outside of ubc you guys would recommend?
