OMG UPDATE: Come to OMGUW Trivia Night at Bomber!

#12985 Saturday, May 26

OMG:
Sitting in the rock garden, a squirrel managed to get in the nanotech building. Two falcons are trying to get at it by banging on the glass. It's pretty funny.

#12984

OMG:
World shattered at the news that someone close to me has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

#12983

OMG:
What's with all the MCs about blonde girls? Other girls need some love too!

#12982

OMG:
lol Prof or Hobo quiz

#12981

OMG:
Dammit, I was hoping the Congress 2012 events were free. There were a few I would have gone to.

#12980

OMG:
That moment when the job you wanted the most doesn't want you back...Oh co-op... :(

#12979

OMG:
I wish everyone would respect the "eduroam" network by not torrenting, downloading, and plugin damn routers. The network is so slow here!!!

#12978

OMG:
The library button contest winners all suck! Except maybe for the ARCH library one. If I knew such crappy entries were going to win the cash prizes maybe I would have entered. The old buttons were so much more tasteful.

#12977

OMG:
It's sad that in today's world terrorism is connected with muslims and that gays can't get married. 70 years from now, the world will look back and ask, "What were we thinking?"

MODS' POST Thursday, May 24


OMG EVENT:
We're hosting our first event of the term! Hang out with us at Bomber for Trivia Night on Monday, May 28th. We'll try our best to save about 15 spots and put up an OMGUW sign so you know where we are. Be there by 7:30 cause trivia starts at 8:00! Questions?

#12976

OMG:
We should support our fellow students in Quebec.

#12975

OMG:
Canada's Guantanamo north cost tax-payers $3.2 million to build, and two million a year to operate with one inmate. It is a six-cell facility opened specifically to detain Muslims held on security certificates. This is where our tax money is going? =S

#12974

OMG:
Reading flame wars is always so much more amusing than doing assignments...

#12973

OMG:
Girls like it when their boyfriend calls them every night to see how their day went. It makes us love you more, not less. So guy, if you‘re wondering whether or not you should call your girlfriend, call her! It'll only make her happy

#12972

OMG:
ugh, just watched The Dictator, then went to Mohammed Mahjoobs lecture at UW about how he was tortured in Canada by CSIS because he's an arab muslim. Racism against muslims has become so common place and normal. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if this post gets racist, ignorant remarks

#12971

OMG:
There should be a notification system for Jobmine so that whenever you get an interview or a job application gets denied or cancelled then you get a text message or email. It would be mostly for people like me who check Jobmine religiously.

#12970

OMG:
Can we collectively get less anti-social as a school? I've noticed people don't even make eye contact here. And just cause I look over in your direction does not mean that I like you, I'm bored. If more people made eye contact this wouldn't happen.

#12969

OMG:
Seeing little baby geese all over campus makes side-stepping goose poo all year totally worth it.

#12968

OMG:
I always feel like an acrobat or contortionist when I have to plug my laptop cable into the power outlet at DP.

#12967

OMG:
When you receive an automatic "out of office" email from a professor and are both relieved that your email was sent to the correct address and annoyed that you won't get an answer for another week.

#12966

OMG:
Does anyone else find it annoying that engineering students constantly refer to themselves as 'engineers'? I mean math students don't call themselves "mathematicians," biology students don't call themselves "biologists," etc. Until you have a degree and a job, I don't think you've really earned the right to call yourself an engineer.

#12965

OMG:
I just wanted to thank you for this site. I have insomnia pretty bad and when I realize that I'm not gonna get any sleep, I turn to OMGUW among other things to entertain me and console me that I am not the only sleepless one. Although it seems that others are sleepless because they are studying.... or putting it off... I guess that was a pretty roundabout way of saying it, but, thank you and keep it up :)

MOD'S NOTE: Glad we can help :)

#12964

OMG:
Please read about sex and how to become better at it every once in a while - it wouldn't hurt!

#12963

OMG:
Every time on Jobmine when I see Job Status: Screened, App Status: Not Selected, I can't help but automatically think FUUUUU I'm too good for this job anyways!!!! to help me feel better about myself :)

#12962

OMG:
I MISS WATERLOO

#12961

OMG:
Just an FYI for everyone, if you find someone's watcard, return it to the watcard office like it says on the card, not random places around campus. It will probably make things easier for everyone, thanks!

#12960

OMG:
Oh, engineers... http://ottawa.en.craigslist.ca/stp/2995173757.html

#12959 Tuesday, May 22

OMG:
People need to stop faculty-bashing. As xkcd points out, every major's terrible.

#12958

OMG:
To the person who lost their WatCard outside DC, I handed it to the library staff.

#12957

OMG:
To everyone in school for spring term, remember; unlike other universities that practically shut down for 4 months while their students do part time jobs in retail and menial labour, you go to a school that doesn't mess around wasting your time and gives you real co-op jobs!

#12956

OMG:
Are classes cancelled for UW students because of Congress 2012?

#12955

OMG:
Realized I need to really make friends in second year. Quite friendless right now.

#12954

OMG:
UWSP finally started uploading videos to YouTube! They're actually pretty good. 

#12953

OMG:
I watched a crow repeatedly dive-bomb a goose outside of UWP today. I guess we aren't the only ones with something against them.

#12952

OMG:
How are we supposed to apply for jobs or look at our upcoming interviews if Jobmine is down for the entire long weekend?

#12951

OMG:
Is the Jobmine login being strange to anyone else? And Nexus mail server not showing any inbox messages? What is going on?

#12950 Sunday, May 20

OMG:
Roommates gone for the weekend = me walking around naked.

#12949

OMG:
Why is Jobmine riddled with errors and poor function?

#12948

OMG:
So why is Feds website down?

#12947

OMG:
Don't blow all your OSAP money on booze. Try to buy expensive jackets too.

#12946 Saturday, May 19

OMG:
All I see is old people in REV caf. Worst long weekend ever :(

#12945

OMG:
Relaxing in your room after a long day, only to realize there are a group of people outside your window, loudly singing the "Circle of Life" around a campfire. And they have fireworks. It's good to be back, Waterloo.

#12944

OMG:
A goose actually held up traffic for a few minutes on University Ave. on Friday afternoon.

#12943 Friday, May 18

OMG:
If this place catches on and grows, it could be cool!

#12942

OMG:
That conflict of feelings that occurs when you just don't want to read anymore of a paper, but you're only half done.

#12941

OMG:
Why is my roommate so noisy in the morning! I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep and my roommate is having a concert in the kitchen. I would prefer to wake up naturally than woken up by an orchestra of banging cupboards.

#12940

OMG:
Wrote my first test of the term. Feeling great until the lights go off. Three. Bloody. Times. Yay for motion sensitive lights and a stationary proctor.

#12939

OMG:
Having a house to myself with a good sized lawn became slightly less awesome when I realized I'm the only one here to cut it all summer

#12938

OMG:
The mother goose sitting outside the side door of Wilmot guarding and waiting for her babies to hatch is teaching me a valuable life lesson about patience. She just sits there, night and day, waiting for her life to change. :')

#12937

OMG:
Why are all the good looking engineers off-stream from me? =(
