OMG:
There should totally be a "Shit UW Says" video

OMG:
MODs, I'm disappointed. There was a time when you promised daily updates and actually delivered.
Winter term is in full swing, and updates remain rare and unpredictable.

MOD'S NOTE: We apologize. We will make sure to update as often as possible. Thanks for sticking with us!

OMG:

Ah, it's that time of year again: Orientation Leader applications are open.
Cue various back-and-forth comments between the Leaders and the haters...

OMG:

Time to put on your swimsuits UW, its SLUSH TIME!

OMG:
So today GRT reached a new level of fail:

The 12, due at Marshall/Carter at 9:07, stopped at the top of the hill for 10 mins. Every bus before it was on time and went down the hill, no problem, as well as 3 school buses.

Frustrated, I walked up the hill and asked the bus driver if he was broken down. He said, "Oh no, it's too slippery. Can't do it with these buses" and remained there until the next bus came, passed him, and went down the hill no problem, picking up 40 people who were now 20 mins late.

Incompetence at its finest.

OMG:
I'm suppose to get paid 16/hour, but only 12.90/hr goes to bank account. Seriously man, we're just students, why do you do this to us? We pay extra tuition for "coop fee", and work our butts off at coop jobs for the evaluations. Some of us rely on this money to pay for tuition, rent, groceries, and pretty much everything. Coop keeps getting worse and worse.

OMG:
MOD'S NOTE: TLDR - Post is about OP's internal reflection on his/her fellow classmates in Engineering.

I am a guy in engineering and I love my program. However I feel the need to address a few issues regarding my peers and most importantly those students who "represent" engineering.

As someone once told me, "engsoc is run by the people who had no friends in highschool, came to university and found each other", I agree with this statement to some extent. I have met many of the people who run engsoc (and I do appreciate the hard work that they do, specially C&D. But it is your loudness, obnoxiousness, lack of social skills with anyone outside of engineering and even worse (very common in first-second year students) your superiority complex when it comes to other faculties. Lets not forget about the huge circlejerk that is poets, and any other "engineering" event.
Don't get me wrong, you are pretty cool people..but when you all get together...it is like one huge herd...and this is the "engineer" stereotype at our university. It does not affect me personally but you guys are cool and its so sad to see such intelligent people have no idea how to behave or handle people.

I wish some of my fellow engineering peers would understand that being in engineering doesn't make you superior to anybody in any way. I want you to understand the need to develop social skills outside of engineering centered communities.

Another issue that must be addressed is the immaturity of some people attending these engineering events - I understand you didn't get to go out much when you were younger but there is no need to be loud/obnoxious right now. Not everyone in life will agree with you so learn to deal with it. You guys are the reason so many people lose interest in our school and our program. It is a great school despite some inconveniences but it is the way you're perceived that ruins everything for everyone.

One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel.

It is so sad to see that some of the people who take part of engineering events have lost all sense of individualism..its so sad, that I have had a few girls tell me "I am surprised you're not a typical engineering guy" or even worse compliment me for not being like you guys. That is sad, because most of you are really cool but unless you leave the herd mentality, people will always look down on you.

OMG:
My prof's ringtone is "I'm on a Boat."

The only welcome bit about going into Needles Hall is the always hot Registrar girls.

Hope they don't mistake the new rebranded university with this one: Hopefully no one will confuse it with this.

OMG:
I went to find a more clear definition of a word, ended up on Wikipedia, and found the exact same, word for word, definition as on the slide.

OMG:
I'm amused someone on Facebook publicized that IRC is on the 11th, when it's supposed to be a secret. (I'm not an engineer so I don't care that I just publicized it again).

OMG:
o the BIOL441 student who is sharing his/her audio lectures... you're amazing!! Thanks for being so generous.

OMG:
Branding drama with UWO. Didn't they learn from UW's lasers?

OMG:
I have a serious respect for mature/older students in class.

OMG:
I just can't get enough of the students who speed/drive carelessly around campus roads. I could never act be so proud of driving daddy's Benz and acting like a douche about it. Then again, I'm not rich, so what do I know.

OMG:
Theme song to my co-op term so far: "Oh, the Boss is Coming!" by Arkells.

OMG:
2012 Graduating class of UW, leave your tips/words of wisdom for the young ones before departing here. First years: listen up.

OMG:
I hate fashion for change. Its a bunch of stuck up unattractive people, who are rude as hell. The only reason people like them so much, is because there desperate for a new profile picture or to say there "a model".

OMG:
It's a good thing you left your bag and coat on a sit-down computer in DC for over 15 minutes while you went to Tim Hortons.

Otherwise you'd never have been able to check facebook for 3 minutes and then close everything down once you got back.

OMG:
If I maintain a messy desk at work, it looks like I'm working really hard. A little tip for all those on their first co-op.

OMG:
Group work sucks the life out of you especially when the other members do jack. Seriously being in 4th year, I would appreciate some maturity.

OMG:
MODS, why aren't posting on this site live? What if I'm riding the public transport, spot a gorgeous member of the opposite sex. I make a MC shoutout to her and she just happens to be on omguw. Our glancing eyes intersect and smile at each other. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

MOD'S NOTE: First, that would be wonderful and we hope it does happen to you one day! As for the posting live part, OMG wasn't created and made for "live" updates. We take in all the submissions and post the best up only. With that being said, we will strive to update as much as we can. However, we are students (we are doing our thesis right now!), so we ask you for your patience :). Thank you for your support!

OMG:
I saw a cute couple on bus 7 at around 6pm heading downtown. There was so much love in their conversation. I hope to find somebody like who they both have.

OMG:
Why all the hate on uw engineers? We deserve to have some fun, stop whining about how obnoxious we are! If your faculty had such great traditions im sure you would participate too. and yes, we are proud of ourselves and like to show off, we work hard dammit and we want recognition! Also, for people who say engineers think they are better than everyone else, that is only some of us. But you can't really deny that we have the most work and least sleep of all the faculties, surviving is a huge accomplishment so quit hatin'! That is all.

OMG:
As much as I appreciate UW parking putting up signs that you shouldnt park your car infront of pay stations. I would appreciate even more if they would put pay stations in convinient areas so that people dont have to walk 400metres in 2 feet of snow in -11 degree weather to get to them. :) Food for thought!

OMG:
I have decided that from now on I will inform any persons with foul odors that I have the misfortune to come across that they do in fact smell. It might embarrass them enough so they decide to actually shower regularly.

OMG:
The lady at Freshens always makes my smoothies so that they are big chunks of ice and fruit, then she hands me a straw through which the chunks will not pass through. Its not hard to check to see if it is blended, and blend it some more. I work in food retail too, good service isn't a complicated thing.

OMG:
I bet Science is going to have a field day with the BUGS president in the dumpster.

OMG:
I just checked the GRT schedule online. You know what it said? "eat shit"

OMG:
I like how the Macleans article specifically states that the engineering faculty is a controversial topic. And it's true. Once someone says "engineering" nothing good can come from it. For example see comments.

OMG:
You know you've woken up too early to be studying when you catch yourself drooling on your course notes.

OMG:
I am on my final term at UW (5A). I officially burnt out in 4B. It sucks.

OMG:
I bet DC custodians gamble on who has to clean DC washrooms at night.

OMG:
Someone mentioned University of Waterloo on Brazzers Live. I stopped jerking off to laugh.

OMG:
This is what a psych degree from UW will get you.

I kid. But really, of all places/people National Geographic could've chosen it had to be people who clearly attend UW :|

OMG:
Feeling sad when you hear all your classmates talking about their interviews, and you don't have any yet :(

MOD'S NOTE: It's ok OP! You'll get one.

OMG:
What is the point of making an appointment to pick up your OSAP if you have to wait 45 minutes to 1 hour to get it?

OMG:
The next dean of Engineering is going to be SUCH an upgrade. Did UW finally make a good management decision?

OMG:
To the idiot who laughed at the girl who tripped on the ice in front of DWE this afternoon - Dude. What is wrong with you?

And to the girl. I hope you're alright, and thanks for the adorable smile.

OMG:
So excited for $3 Jagger Bombs at the Bomber tomorrow :) Going to get there early to avoid the line up and cover

OMG:
Greedy students, do you really need to take 5 slices of pizzas and 2 pops at the employer information session, if there is a long lineup behind you and a limited amount of pizzas.

OMG:
I'm taking an arts course as an elective, how the hell do you guys deal with that obnoxious incessant key-tapping in every damn lecture? I'm glad everyone in my faculty uses a pencil and paper

OMG:
To all the people who decide it's cool to stand outside whatever building and block the door while your smoking a cigarette, its not our fault its pooring rain outside and you can't escape your nicotene craving. But can you stand on the side so I can get through? I also dont want second hand smoke.

OMG:
I forgot my official transcript on bus 8 this morning(very hectic day ahead, it slipped my mind), if you find it, PLEASE give it to turnkey desk, I have a deadline and must hand it in by Wednesday, and to get a new one it will take another 7 days!
I would reallllly appreciate it!

OMG:
Am I the only one who thinks the new Timmy's cup sizes are disgusting? Way to try to Americanize us by encouraging gluttony, Timmy's.
