High cortisol after midterms? Feeling like you’re super geeked out? Join us on November 6 to join a co-op Reels sesh!

I'm a first year student taking MATH 135. I just got 79% on the midterm, and my average for the first 5 quizzes is 91%.

I'm honestly pretty disappointed because I studied extremely hard for this midterm. I spent so much time reviewing the material, practicing proofs, and working through problems. It feels really frustrating to put in so much effort and still not get the result I was hoping for.

For those who have taken MATH 135 before, does the course get significantly harder after the midterm? Are the remaining quizzes and final exam generally more difficult?

With my current marks, is it still realistic to aim for a 90% final grade (including the 3% bonus)?

I'd really appreciate any advice or study tips. Thanks!

Hi! I'm in ECE (Thursdays at 1 PM), and there's this cute French boy I always see in class. He's sooo dreamy! He has a goatee, wears Prada glasses, and often wears Lacoste. I also always see him with Core Protein drinks. If you know him, could you please give me his contact info? I wanna get to know him. :)

(First Year BTW)

Thanks everyone for the advice in the last post I managed to get an interview offer last night!!

I think the main thing that helped is to lower my expectations as everyone said and apply to stuff that's not just Google and other faang companies. I ended up applying to less competitive companies like rbc, td, Scotiabank, bmo, etc... A bunch of banks. I applied to a lot in waterlooworks and a lot externally.

I ended up getting an interview for one of the banks idk if I'm allowed to say which but anyway only issue is, it's kinda early Friday morning. Like 9am which is right before one of my lectures. There weren't any other options for time slot and I'm a bit sad it's not Google.

Thanks again everyone for the advice, I appreciate everyone in this sub because I won't do weaccelerate

Around plaza and railroad. When i drive I encounter pedestrians crossing on red multiple times. It's just scary.

Do mascs exist at Waterloo? Lmk! Sincerely first year

Hi there. Well, the title says it. I wanna know what's on your minds, what experiences you had, what helped you there, what you enjoyed, what you hated, if you made any money, any good connections, any tools you use, tech side of things, all of that. Everything. I think you have a lot of good information to share and it could benefit all of us, so I courage you say it

since october, my balls have been getting frozen at night and in the morning. does anyone use a heater in UWP and can recommend cheap heaters to use for a suite room?

Is 80~85 suffices?

Had some questions if you could assist a Waterloo undergrad alumni please and thank you.

Someone stole the stapler in Davis Centre recently and now all my notes are a mess. Seriously where else can I find a stapler? Ridiculous how a world-class uni can't even offer staplers to students in the library

hiii!! i'm hoping to meet some new people and make some genuine friendships!! uni has been a bit of a social adjustment, and i'd love to find people to talk to, study with, hang out with, or just send random nonsense to throughout the day lol

i'd especially love to meet people who are also looking to make friends and put effort into getting to know each other!! no pressure to have everything in common— i am very easily fascinated by anything anybody wants to explain or talk about. i’d love to hear about the things you're interested in ! (i get especially excited when i see somebody super passionate about their interests!!)

feel free to comment or message me if you'd like to chat!!

Hey everyone;

November 1st, 8pm, STC Basement, start off with some food, drinks, Karaoke, etc, have some fun, and end the night off with a scary movie.

I have seen too many posts asking about making friends lately, and now that im on coop making decent money, I would love to help facilitate the socializing of many. Looking to gage interest for now; if you're interested comment / shoot me a pm and if we hit 15(?) I'll post again and plan it.

Looking forward to meeting all the reddit legends

hi guys, there's a girl who told me her name is Angeleena. we met around 2 years ago and then stopped talking. she should be in her third year of CS at waterloo. please dm me if yk her

Basically I'm interviewing with a couple of companies and this one company actually told me that I passed all my interviews but then they were like "ye nah we can't offer you an internship because our plans changed" and like WTF DAWG. You should've told me that BEFORE you decided to interview me.

Now I'm hella nervous cuz I only have one other company who could potentially give me an offer and if they fuck me over as well Im literally cooked and I have pull some generational comeback out of my ass to find an internship for next term.

idk why I felt like ranting on reddit, gonna kms

so recently just got my math135 midterm mark and got 45% but the avg for the midterm was 71%.

the mark breakdown for this class is
quizzes: 44%
midterm: 25%
final: 31%

what should i do in this situation?? i was scoring 95+ on the first three assignments and also got 45% on quiz1. i need at least 60 to take 136.

Genuinely not even trying to joke or anything sorry I didn’t know what flair to use but I love this university so so so so so much and am so grateful to be here. Living alone is the best and I am so glad to be away from all the yelling and my family’s debt problems and just be on my own and focus on myself. I could have a brick fall on my pinky toe and still be happy probably

I absolutely love it here and I love the challenge and I love the difficulty and the headaches and the imposter syndrome from the cracked FAANG internship kids who know python C C++ SQL HTML and more and all about APIs like the back of their hand and grind leetcode hard every day. I am much “worse” than all of them in terms of employment but still I love those people because they all motivate me so much.

Just got 58% on one of my midterms that I barley studied for sadly I need to catch up but holy hell am I grateful and yes it’s not a good grade little less than 20% below class average but again the average person in Waterloo is CRACKED usually and even if not I am so happy I thought I did much worse.

Beyond that, every single time I write a test or quiz or a midterm in this uni, yeah I get sometimes sad when I see results and thought I did better but wow it’s actually so fun to write the assessments. No joke I had the most fun in high school when writing the Euclid and other Waterloo math contests, I did horrible on them but it was so much fun and this feels just like that feeling. I love delta and epsilon proof of limits and I love going through the entire 137 textbook and trying every single question and looking at the examples does this waste time probably but it’s so much fun. Not sure how long this will all last because I’m in 1A and have two more study terms to go (seq 4) but I am so incredibly happy this is so much better than high school where I was always stressed out. I hope everyone is having an amazing day stay blessed and curious!!!!!!!!!

Crazy car accident on Columbia. Recorded from my window. Excuse the quality as this is a screen recording from me being on FaceTime lol.

I think the guy getting in the truck previously crawled out of the red car, not 100% sure about that though. Maybe was trying to get away? Evidently he did not. People held him on the ground until police arrived.

There is no arrow that leads back up the stairs. I followed the arrows down, and now I've been looping for hours! WHERE IS THE UP ARROW?!

Yeah so maybe this university thing isn’t for me, my midterms are lowkey making me suicidal 🥹. Well I’m understanding shit it just seems like I’m not understanding fast enough I guess. You know what, we lock in. Office hours and shit. Also if anyone remembers my last post, I got a diagnosis!!! I just started taking meds so I’m hoping that helps. Man I’m only 17 bro I’m too young for this 😭

I’m taking MATH 137, MATH 135, and CS 116 this term. My grades are pretty average, and I’m looking for someone to think through problems with. Grades don’t matter to me. I mainly just want to work together to solve problems. The only issue is that my English isn’t very fluent.

Just got my Math 135 midterm back, got a whopping 62.5. I’d like to say I’m shocked by It,
But honestly I’m not. Studied a shit ton for it as well, talking probably 25 hrs+ over the course of 4+ days. I’m in math Bba and have been doing really well on that side. Haven’t really broken a sweat there and did good on all my Laurier midterms. I wrote my Math 137 midterm last night which I also studied a lot for and got fried on that as well. I guess I’m just here to ask if it gets better? Or if anyone else has had a similar experience and what they’ve done to bounce back I guess. I really do enjoy all the classes, especially the math ones and it’s just kind of Dissapointing I’m doing so poorly. My study habits are good, I go to all my classes, do the textbook questions and try hard. Anyone have any advice?

Red sedan and Coinamatic van

i have an interview for this role soon. if anyone is able to give some details on the interview process, that would be great!! 🙏
