Thursday, March 31
OMG: There was an EPIC goose fight this morning, they were going wild! When do we start taking bets?
#8286
OMG: So apparently our society has been reduced to answering "which University is best" questions on facebook. Seriously guys... grow up
#8285
OMG: What's scarier than Geese and Zombies? ZOMBIE GEESE APOCALYPSE!
#8284
OMG: That awkward moment when you can't tell if you're smelling Burger King, or someones B.O.
#8283
OMG: "Studying" in DP with my friend. I turned around and realized that we were both reading OMGUW. Back to work.
#8282
OMG: I just received an email about the FEDS AGM, being held today at noon. The mail was sent at 1:37pm. Fail.
#8281
OMG: THE GEESE... they never look you in the eye! They are plotting something, we must plan to stop the uprising!
#8280
OMG: Poets is back open; just in time to procrastinate for finals.
#8279
OMG: The dean of engineering makes 349k. So that's where my ENG tuition goes...
#8278
OMG: Stop what you're doing and go read this story: The Spirit of Why Not Kill Each Other! MOD'S NOTE: This was EPIC.
#8277
OMG: To all those graduating this year, this is for you.
#8276
OMG: I heard a rumor we have one of the highest suicide rates of any school in Canada, and while I want to not believe it, after seeing all the depression posts, I can't help but wonder
#8275
OMG: David Johnston was paid $1,041,880.82 last year. That's probably why we are paying so much tuition.
#8274
OMG: This site SUCKS SHIT now. All I see are racist comments. I feel the MODS are racist & white. MOD'S NOTE: This post was heavily edited for spelling and grammar. OP, aren't we all a little bit racist?
#8273
OMG: There is a correlation between good ratings and the number of comments. Posts that are highly rated, have few comments. On the other hand, posts with poor rating have flame wars. It is apparent that negative comments are prevalent on OMGUW.
#8272
OMG: Four am feelings of worthlessness with an exam first thing in the early morning is probably the worst case scenario right now. Must. Suck. It. Up.
#8271
OMG: Only one thing you need to remember on voting day: ABC
#8270
OMG: To all the skateboarders outside DP: awesome sauce! You guys are wicked.
#8269
OMG: Didn't realize what the symbols was beside "OMGUW"; thought it was a weird space ship, then I realized HEY its DP!
#8268
OMG: Drinking while studying helps me focus! I guess we'll see how well I remember everything tomorrow.
#8267
OMG: I just found out the Rhinoceros Party is an actual party in Canada. It got 2,263 votes in 2008 too. Impressive.
#8266
OMG: How is it fair that in 2008 the Green party got 6.78% popular vote and the Bloc Quebecois got 9.98% popular vote, and yet the Bloc Quebecois get 49 seats while the Greens get 0 seats. A mere few percent difference. Stupid First-past-the-post voting.
#8265
OMG: OMGUW should switch to the Like/Dislike system. MOD'S NOTE: We have implemented that before and it didn't work out.
#8264
OMG: It think MODS are discriminating on religion here. MOD'S NOTE: Really? We haven't noticed.
#8263
OMG: Dear political parties, please give me a progressive vision.
#8262
OMG: Those giant CUTC posters are everywhere... I like that Bieber cutie in glasses in MC!
#8261
OMG: Update the MCs please! After I finish reading the OMGs I feel obligated to do work. The MCs prevent this!
#8260
Wednesday, March 30
OMG: My roomate just let a 40 year old man sign her sublet lease without asking the two other students will be living here. WTF?!
#8259
OMG: It seems like there's a lot more asian students in the ES coffeeshop lately than normal
#8258
OMG: People need to stop talking about the geese, yeah yeah they are there and all. I'm on campus everyday and they have never bothered me. Move on, talk about something new, something exciting.
#8257
OMG: I cannot believe 8 people got caught cheating on a Rec280 quiz. I repeat, a REC280 QUIZ.
#8256
OMG: Dear IExpress users at around 6pm tonight. I took up 2 seats because of my grocery bags. As a result, some people did not make it on the bus. I appologize for my shortsightedness. I regret my action sincerely.
#8255
OMG: Where is the outrage for the fact that our Prime Minister was held in CONTEMPT? Throughout the world people are fighting for democracy and we have the leader of this country ruining ours! The youth of today need to make sure this bullshit doesn't happen again and VOTE
#8254
OMG: SLC during the India-Pakistan cricket game. So. friggin. epic.
#8253
OMG: Sorry Mods, but I think I will forget to feed the horse. Worst video ever.
#8252
OMG: 2 finals tomorrow and I'm more concerned with OMGUW not being updated
#8251
OMG: OMGUW: helping people waste time when they should be studying since 2009.
#8250
OMG: I went on google looking for quotes by Hobbes and 5 minutes later i was on youtube watching crackheads gone wild. Why are finals so difficult to write :(
#8249
OMG: Hey mods, while feeding the horse is very important, I think we should also be encouraging people to vote.
#8248
OMG: A reading from the Internet Hand-Book. "And ye, The Mods said unto the masses: 'Thou shalt not feedith the tr0llz, for they are as confused as neglected children. Did not Bill Gates sacrifice his high school years for thee?' And thus it was decreed that feeding tr0llz was grevious and sinful, and many of the people of OMGUW obeyed." - The Book of Commenting, 13:12.
#8247
OMG: Just walked by needles hall and saw "I think you're beautiful" written on the wall. It made my day :)
#8246
OMG: This school needs to cover its buildings in ivy.
#8245
OMG: You know SciSoc is doing a good job attracting science students when there were actual elections for more positions last year.
#8244
OMG: Students who have attended Econ 101/102 or just have common sense, or would like to keep the money they earn should support Stephen Harper's Conservatives. However, at the very least if students are determined to vote left-wing, they should be true to their principles and support the Greens or NDP. Michael Igantieff is only in this election for himself and the Harvard faculty lounge.
#8243
OMG: Thanks to cricket, the SLC smells horrible.
#8242
OMG: Asians: sidewalks, corridors, and walkways are for you & others as well. So if you feel like caressing your gf, or screaming at your gals, lingering, walking in circles, or whatever the hell "group activities" you love to do in the walkways, just please, pretty please, with sugar on top, leave some space for others who want to walk esp. those coming in opposite direction. Thanks.
#8241
OMG: To the kid in every class who asks the prof all these in depth and complicated questions just to show off that you actually understand what's going on. I hate you.
#8240
OMG: So many people in the SLC watching... cricket? I had to ask someone to figure out what sport they were watching.
#8239
OMG: I find that Waterloo kids are far too arrogant about their school. Yes we may go to one of the best schools in the world but honestly, York, Laurier, Western, Queens, it's all education at the end of the day. What you do with it is way more important then where you receive it.
#8238
OMG: Exam anxiety is ruining my life
#8237
OMG: Class average for Stats midterm? 58. No bellcurve.
#8236
OMG: One month left in the work term and I still have nothing to do... Yay free money!
#8235
OMG: I'm not really in favour of Iggy's plan to give money to university students, I'd prefer he just give the money to the universities to lower tuition or spend it on student stuff, but at least he thinks about us!
#8234
OMG: They aren't letting the Green Party into the Leader's Debate? Green Party is NOT a wasted vote, and if you are thinking of voting for them instead of the Conservatives but don't think your vote counts: your vote always count!
#8233
OMG: This campus needs a dress code. Too many people are dressed inappropriately.
#8232
OMG: The Liberals promise $1 billion for post-secondary aid. That's the first time I saw a party offer something for students.
#8231
OMG: I don't understand how some people can be so filthy. You're in university, I shouldn't have to clean up after you. I'm not your parent.
#8230
OMG: Only in Waterloo will you overhear a drunken conversation about systems engineering at a bar. I love this place.
#8229
OMG: If a goose honks and I smother it, and no one's there to see me do it, did I really kill the goose?
#8228
OMG: Why do people get all offended if you insult the geese? Do you have some twice-removed geese uncle that no one talks about?
#8227
OMG: All the information I get on the election is from this site.
#8226
OMG: I only ever use the first or last star when rating posts.
#8225
Tuesday, March 29
OMG: To the girl that saw me waiting at the bus stop at King and Columbia and gave me a ride to the University, I feel this needs to be repeated. You ROCK!
#8224
OMG: If OMGs and MCs fell off a cliff and I only had the strength to save one, it would be OMGs. No contest.
#8223
OMG: My stats teacher finished a derivation of an equation with a bunch of dancing Elmos. No explanation was given.
#8222
OMG: I was in the silent room in DC. A girl started talking in her cellphone. I turned and said "hey, hey. this is a silent room." She took her phone business outside. WIN! People, learn to tell others to STFU.
#8221
OMG: Look around campus at all the new buildings, thank Harper. The Economic action plan gave numerous people jobs and benefited Waterloo.
#8220
OMG: When I was mentioning potential grad schools, a friend of mine suggested York. I immediately pictured OMGUW's tagline, "At least we aren't York." Sorry, bud, I may like you but I have some dignity.
#8219
OMG: The MODS are obviously into bestiality with that OMG Update about feeding the horse. Not cool Mods. MOD'S NOTE: You got us! Darn.
#8218
OMG: Sometimes I get a very sadistic urge to troll the shit out of people. It cannot be satisfied, don't feed me. Just ban me when I do, and save yourselves the pain.
#8217
OMG: Marathon Monday was a bust. Did anyone actually drink?
#8216
OMG: I'm all for the missed connections and like a littles, and I'm sorry but am I really the only one who finds it shameful to hookup with someone through one of these sites?
#8215
OMG: My prof. just responded to my e-mail with the wrong name. There are 15 people in the class, and my name is written at the top of the e-mail.
#8214
OMG: The fact that 20 percent of our population would vote for NDP sickens me on many levels. Our tax rate on the highest income bracket is currently 41%, and the NDP would raise that to close the deficit. Socialism has failed before people, and it will fail again. Its ok though, I'll move to the USA before I make any good money. MOD'S NOTE: The MODS are proud socialists.
#8213
OMG: I was sitting down to, for lack of a better term, take a dump on the third floor of MC when I looked up and saw a complete implementation of quicksort written in scheme printed on the stall's door. There was also a comment pointing out how inefficent the code was...only at UW
#8212
OMG: Do we have any veteran UWians still hanging out here on OMGUW after graduation?
#8211
OMG: MODs: can you please install that blogger filter in the commenting form, which rejects comment submission if it contains obscene words? MOD'S NOTE: We already have a filter for comments.
#8210
OMG: This goose just went all Natalie Portman/black swan on my ass outside DP!
#8209
OMG: Today, last terms Physics Based Calculus 1 professor decided to sit in on Calculus 2, a class that is now 1/5 of its previous size. I guess he wanted to see his kill count.
#8208
OMG: Just saw a guy playing ping pong with his dad while his mom watched on in V1. Made me smile. Quality time 12yr old + should be cherished. So much love!
#8207
OMG: Officially done my university career April 12th. I love you UWaterloo! You've been my favorite home, party place, and friend gatherer for 4 years. I'm ecstatic that I came here.
#8205
OMG: Speaking of money & happiness: I am surprised by the amount rhetoric Platonism that people wrote in the comments! Money, honey, is everything in this world!
#8204
OMG: Best place on campus to survive a zombie apocalypse? Be honest UW I know I'm not the only one who wonders. MOD'S NOTE: We have thought about this and it would be the UWP towers.
#8203
OMG: Sometimes when I get really bored I go look at the election coverage that The National Post puts out so I laugh at the articles and comments.
#8202
OMG: Any other Minecraft players here at UW? It's the most fun way to not study.
#8201
OMG: It sucks that my conservative values are represented by Stephen Harper. Disclaimer; not ALL tories wear sweater vests!!
#8200
OMG: I hate how there is literally NO break for co-op students between work terms and academic terms. I finish my work term on April 29h, and classes begin May 2nd! UW needs to chill and give us a week off at LEAST.
#8199
OMG: After being in the DC engineering design symposium, I regret taking CS over Comp Eng. I want to build cool stuff like wheelchairs that you can move with your mind! and not hear about a lecture of why C is better than Scheme or why C sucks compared to Scheme :(
#8198
OMG: I am in awe and amazed by the majority of things our engineers have come up with, and have been showing off the last few days, but today I saw a tennis ball launcher. Seriously? 4 years of engineering at one of the best schools for engineering in the world and all you can come up with is a tennis ball launcher?
#8197
OMG: I think the idea of a therapy dog for stressed-out students sounds like a good one. I love dogs, but am somewhat allergic to them. I can spend a bit of time with them, but I can't own one. So I love this idea. I usually "borrow" my neighbour's dog, but it'd be nice to meet some new ones. I think we'd all be a lot less crabby, obnoxious, impatient, lonely, and bitter if we spent a half hour with a friendly dog.
#8196
Monday, March 28
OMG: Harper is offering tax breaks for people with families. What about us, the students?? Unfortunately we are a non-issue to politicians because of our low voting numbers, yet we pay thousands and thousands of tuition dollars a piece every year! We are the future for this economy and our well-being deserves to be considered!
#8195
OMG: Other co-op students, I'm genuinely curious: how much of your time at work do you usually spend dicking around on social networking sites and stuff?
#8194
OMG: Mormons came to my residence, so scared!
#8193
OMG: Even though I am in CS/Math, I just realized how hard simple geometry and arithmetics are... I fucked up the square in DP in Minecraft.
#8192
OMG: To anyone who has had a laptop/iPhone/wireless device stolen. Inform IST and give them your MAC address. If anyone uses their UW username to try to use campus WiFi on a stolen device, it will alert IST and you can catch them! Or, at least get your device back. My friend lost his, reported it to IST, and they nailed the douchebag two days later.
#8191
OMG: Fuck geese. It's midnight & the suckers still make noise.
#8190
OMG: The grad school offer letter should state in bold font: "Dating is not going happen."
#8189
OMG: UW girls, you suck when it comes to fashion. Slut up please.
#8188
OMG: Being older and more experienced with life, I feel obligated to open your youngster eyes on some facts about money in the REAL life. I know that Disney and Hanna Montana would beg to differ. I know that you will angrily punch your cute little finger against the keyboard and write me an angry response full of idealistic sentences about life, money, values, moral and whatnots. But, take it from an older brother, I will leave it up to the life and time to prove me correct. Money BRINGs happiness. Money buys you, not only a car, and a house, but also EVERYTHING in this world, including relationships, friendships, and happiness. It is a sad fact of the modern postindustrial society. Alas, my fellow UWians, it is true.
#8187
OMG: Its kinda cool becoming skilled enough at an art that you see patterns in the world around you and are like "I can make that!"
#8186
OMG: My friend, who is an atheist, was making out with a muslim guy in SLC 2nd floor yesterday night. She stopped and walked away when during the conversation the guy said he was a muslim. Tried so hard not to laugh.
#8185
OMG: Saw a guy eating beans out of a can in DC library. Not sure if he just really likes cold beans from a can, or if he can't afford much more than that. Either way it makes me feel grateful for what I have.
#8184
OMG: I'm not one to toot WLU's horn. But I realized tonight that Steppenwolf's first concert back in 1965 (as The Sparrow) was at Waterloo Lutheran University. Bad fuckin' ass. Waterloo rules.
#8183
OMG: Does anyone else think that people who create blogger account write the worst comment ever?
#8182
OMG: The day after I finish this assignment, I'm going to go buy Pokemon.
#8181
OMG: This has been my 3rd year at UW and this term has been the worst one yet. I fell back into my depression, and fighting through it is so exhausting and hard. I know things will get better, but I don't know what to do in the meantime, when all I do is feel so sad and helpless. MOD'S NOTE: Find us and we will personally give you a big hug!
#8180
OMG: Final full week of classes, thank god!
#8179
OMG: Why is the Laurier library so damn nice?
#8178
OMG: How much bigger must the "SILENT STUDY" sign be in DC for people to NOT go in there and make noise. Jesus! I hate inconsiderate people.
#8177
OMG: As a single grad student, I spent Sunday evening thinking about the following problem: how can we verify that OP in the comments is the actual OP, without changing the infrastructure of this website.
#8176
OMG: Paper is due in 20 hours. I have written 0 pages. FML.
#8175
OMG: I really miss the OMGUW forums :( Are there any good student or UW forums out there?
#8174
OMG: To the custodian who snatched my gloves from my office space on the 6th floor in MC - what the fuck?
#8173
OMG: Would it be feasible to have the OMGUW homepage be "New OMGs" but then have a different link to "recently commented OMGs" so that omgs with a convo/debate can keep going? MOD'S NOTE: Yes.
#8172
OMG: I successfully trolled all of you several times once pretending to be Asian, once racist, and another hater. Troll demands respect.
#8171
Sunday, March 27
OMG: UW is breaking a world record?
#8170
OMG: OMGUW = First world problems
#8169
OMG: What is with the attitude of atheists around here? They seem to act like being nonreligious automatically makes them superior.
#8168
OMG: I never thought I would be the "rah rah School Spirit" person, but ever since I decided to become an Orientation Leader, I've just been an overall happier person. I'm more outgoing, more involved, and work even goes by quicker after I do a "ROWDY" and a "WATER, WATER, WATER" cheer. Kudos to me for stepping outside of my comfort zone!
#8167
OMG: I don't care if it makes me a slut. I want to sleep with every boy in the Water Boys.
#8166
OMG: Talk about solidarity. My neighbourhood feels they are too important to participate in Earth Hour because they're rich. Just a quick walk through my neighbourhood reminds me why I went to Waterloo for EB.
#8165
OMG: The hip-hop club that always dances in the SLC was blaring Rebecca Black. WINNING.
#8164
OMG: Life is so much easier when you're always nice to others. Being in a pissed off mood is only bad for yourself as it hurts your health and relationships. Being hostile and angry is not worth it! Keep smiling UW!!
#8163
OMG: In CS I learned how to use search engines more effectively. Now I can find better kinky porns!
#8162
OMG: Sitting on the top floor of DP, staring at the clear blue sky, soft red horizon and bright orange sun while doing physics homework. I can see even more beauty in this world.
#8161
OMG: To all those who have had to deal with messy, loud and disrespectful roommates this year....it's almost over!
#8160
OMG: MODs, I'm disappointed in you. Unless there was some sort of computer problem, you deleted a bunch of comments that weren't particularly offensive. I've seen lots of horribly racist and sexist posts on this site, and they weren't deleted. You should either not delete anything, or be more strict about the comments. Selective moderation is the worst kind. MOD'S NOTE: We accidentally deleted a bunch of comments on two post by mistake. We apologize.
#8159
OMG: Can we start this new meme: LOLGEESE?
#8158
OMG: I LOVE graduation time! I had to put up with four fucking years of being branded as a lonely loser. I had to bear all the crap about how other dudes get laid. Well, suck it up now, losers: a month from now, I'll get to work at Microsoft in the valley & enjoy my $75,000 paycheck & you suckers can't even find a job @ Timmy's. Who is the loser now?
#8157
OMG: Some of the GRT drivers are real hard assfucks. I'm talking massive troll like ego, and an even more massive desire to shove that down the smallest orifice they can find. Unfortunately for me, this often means the bus I'm getting on, and having to deal with their shit when I just don't give a fuck.
#8156
OMG: Since when is all the hatred for foreign students allowed on this site?! As a foreigner, from an European country, I feel attacked, even though I seem to be from one of the countries that everybody wish they were from, I still feel hurt! Are you guys putting up posters around campus too? Lozers, look around, Canada is diverse!
#8155
OMG: To the people putting roofies in drinks this weekend, fuck you. You ain't raping my ass.
#8154
OMG: To anyone who decides not to get informed and vote in either the federal or provincial elections, you have absolutely NO right to bitch about the state of our country. Millions of people around the world fight for this right, and you simply throw it away. Think tuition is too high? Too bad. Think economy sucks? Too bad.
#8153
OMG: Diana Wynne Jones passed away :( I know a lot of my friends in Waterloo hate reading, but surely there are some who feel this loss as badly as me?
#8151
OMG: I'm glad my laptop is almost ten years old, because nobody is gonna steal it. It's worth $5 at most... that is if it was melted down into plastic.
#8152
OMG: Turns out there IS a WLHS.
#8150
OMG: Putting my plastic water bottles in the garbage instead of the recycling, like a badass.
#8149
OMG: I'm not voting until you can vote online.
#8148
OMG: Why is it that my Facebook is littered with people filling out way too many TMI surveys, yet the only way people will fill out surveys that are meant to improve the quality of our school is if there are prizes attached?
#8147
OMG: I have no love life of my own, so I thrive off all the adorable mc's posted. More mc's please :)
#8146
Saturday, March 26
OMG: It sucks being a gay guy who wants to experiment with girls. Competition is high.
#8145
OMG: If I have a choice, I'd eat Indian food, drink Latin american booze, date Japanese women, and live in California. Now back to the reality that I'm a broke student, living in a basement room, tons of backlog coursework, single, and mildly-depressed!
#8144
OMG: I still think that immigrants & international students should do a mandatory 40hr volunteering. It's the best way to get them engaged in the Canadian cultural fabric.
#8143
OMG: To the person who lost an iphone at the CIF on saturday morning, we have it at the equipment desk. You may claim it, but it will cost you your first born child.
#8142
OMG: 1 week of undergrad left, and something due every day. Only at Waterloo :(
#8141
OMG: Is it me, or are some of the sweatpants from AHS are spelled wrong? I saw a girl with "ASHUM" instead of "AHSUM"...?
#8140
OMG: Religious girls are such a big turn off.
#8139
OMG: So, 43% of Laurier first year arts students have a below average... What are UW's stats?
#8138
OMG: Today, in my CivE 353 tutorial, at the end of the tutorial the class literally applauded the TA. I've never been so proud to go here.
#8137
OMG: Congratulations to all the engineers who presented their fourth year projects in DC this week! They were all really cool! Best of luck to each and every one of you!
#8136
OMG: If you wonder why Chinese people die for academic success, then you might like this.
#8135
OMG: I say it with no shame: I have an Asian fetish.
#8134
OMG: VOTE, get your asses registered, and vote. We can't let the conservatives continue to drag this country into the dirt. They're corporate buddies don't have our interests at heart, and we shouldn't let them have a say in how we live. If you vote conservative, look to the US for the future state of our country.
#8133
OMG: Why is it so difficult to find a girl who wants to experiment with another girl? I know university is the time to explore your sexuality but its hard finding girls who are interested in hooking up with another girl!
#8132
OMG: I'm using Wikipedia to research my lab report but then citing journal articles as references. DECEPTION FTW!
#8131
OMG: Ever have one of those "My computer just froze and IMA HULK SMASH THE FUCK OUT OF THE KEYBOARD" moments?
#8130
OMG: The GRT is doing a survey for everyone who rides the 12!
#8129
OMG: Is there any group on campus dedicated to getting students to vote? If so I want to be a part...
#8128
OMG: Does anyone else think its terribly sad for our democratic institutions when our Government is found in contempt? That isn't to say I at all enjoyed the Conservatives, but that mere fact that it happened makes me lose a little faith in those that govern our country, and those that allow it to happen.
#8127
Friday, March 25
#8126
OMG: To the stressed out students of UW. In a 100 years from now, we'll all be dead, and nobody will know or care what your marks were. So do your best, don't stress and go live life!
#8125
OMG: No self respecting man could ever find Uggs with pom poms attractive. Every time I see a girl wearing them on campus, I want to puke
#8214
OMG: To everyone who has complained about the University rebranding, in particular the website redesign. They have been asking the students for input for months, so it's your own fault for not paying attention. The website: they ran 6 Phases of Public Opinion and Usability Testing, which were announced in every media outlet available to school admin. They built the website based on the comments they got from the testing - which were largely positive! So if you hate it so much, it's your own fault for not giving a crap and trying to get involved when you had the chance.
#8123
OMG: Anybody in Larry Smith's econ class when the guy started smoking a cigarette last night know what that was about?
#8122
OMG: "OMG" just made it into the OED.
#8121
OMG: I used to be super competitive. I would hide all my answers and not offer to help because I didn't want anyone doing better than me. I was extremely selfish and I hated sharing. But living in residence, I met people that would let me use their printer whenever mine ran out of ink, they’d offer me food when they noticed I was hungry and didn't have enough money, they’d help with my assignments without me ever asking and if I left it until the last minute they’d even let me copy it. It really made me rethink the way I had been going about my life. So I just wanted to say thank you, Waterloo, for showing me a kindness that I didn’t think was possible, and helping me realize how much better we are when we look out for each other.
#8120
OMG: Ok, I'd like to think I'm a conscientious driver, and I always slow way down at uni and seagram, but OMG UW PEDESTRIANS! If the do not walk signal is showing (it's that orange hand in the black and yellow box) then you're jay walking! Now that isn't the problem (I take my chances sometimes too) but just because the light perpendicular to your crosswalk is red does not mean it's safe! If I have a left advance you shouldn't be in the crosswalk! Also, if I'm stopped at a red and the left advance is on I should be able to follow through with a right turn without someone running out in front of my car! Don't get pissed at me when you're in the crosswalk when you shouldn't be! Sincerely, 2000 points.
#8119
OMG: Wrapping up lab report in the early morning. Microsoft Word crashes once; obtain recovery document. Microsoft Word crashes a second time. LOSE ALL YOUR WORK.

OMG: I love DDR as much as the next slightly crazy person but seriously, girls/guys, there's a time and a place. Happy hour and you've wandered into an arcade: perfect. 1:00 AM on a Tuesday when you live above me: only if you want your legs broken.

OMG: Duke Nukem Forever will have a 'Capture the Babe' mode. In it, you capture the opposing team's babe and you have the option to 'smack her around' if she starts to freak out.

OMG: My exam is in 2 weeks, but I already know I'm gonna wait till the night before to study, and then I'll think back to today and think "Why didn't I study?!"
#8113
OMG: What bugs me is you never know if your post was rejected or just not posted yet.. :(

OMG: There has got to be an easy way to pick up gay guys around here.
#8111
OMG: I'm at the point in my relationship where I've been dating my boyfriend for several years, but see absolutely no future with him. It's stupid but it's hard to let go.
#8110
OMG: Why do people always mention ethnicity or language when complaining about loudmouths in the library? I hear just as many people speaking English as I do any other language. What these people have in common is that they're being thoughtless, not their race or culture.
#8109
OMG: Proof that geese are evil pricks
#8108
OMG: I just got the weirdest spam ever. It was something about jesus and christianity... Seriously, who sends this kind of spam, and how did they get my email? I don't recognize the address either.
#8107
OMG: I applied to be a don for the fall/winter term next year. I am a first year, so I knew it'd be very hard to get in. The don selection process started in January, at which point I told my friends to all find a place without me, because I didn't want to screw them over if I did get the position and they'd be stuck finding someone else. I made it past the first step, the carousel, and got an interview for the Tuesday after reading week. They told me at the interview it'd be another 3 weeks before I found out if I got the position. By now, all of my friends had signed leases on their places, so I was really hoping to get it. I didn't. I found out last friday. None of my friends are without a home, so right now I'm alone in my search. I just wish they started the application process sooner so that people like me wouldn't get screwed over in the end.
#8106
OMG: To the brown dudes playing catch and throwing the balls at people in the SLC Great Hall. FUCK YOU. I did not appreciate being beamed in the face as you wound up to make your throw.

OMG: I haven't had sex in 5 months because my ex says I'm a slut if I do. I feel like I am about to explode. URGH!
#8099
OMG: Never understood why some students claim Bomber is place to be. Especially when I had to wait for my drink 30 minutes, additional 10 minutes for appetizer, and 10 minutes wasted trying to ask an ignorant waitress who told me to wait when I asked "I ordered about an hour ago." To two girls who swore at the waitress after waiting for 10 minutes, kudos to you.

#8094
OMG:
Dear OMG, As I sit here in Dana Porter trying to do research, I think about all the OMG's I have read talking about how people are so rude and loud in the library.Until 10 minutes ago I really doubted the legitimacy of these claims. That was 10 minutes ago. Now I am trying to work while listening to some idiotic dude's music and his phone conversation in some other language, while he touches anything crinkly that will make noise. I apologize for my doubt. Never again.
#8093
OMG:
Dear girl in AFM 231, You don't need to press the button on your iClicker a dozen times. One should suffice, maybe two if you're paranoid.
#8092
OMG:
Today in one of the Hagey Hall women's bathrooms someone had written words like "beautiful", "pretty", and "lovely" in lipstick on the mirror. I don't know if it was meant for the little kids dancing in the theatre, or just for women today in general, but it was quite kind and admirable. Though, as I was doing this admiring, one of the Hagey Hall theatre ushers came in and exclaimed "OH GREAT!" and then stormed off into a stall. Wayyy to ruin the thought! It cleans off.

RUTR is so overbearing, I just awoke from a dream about it :(

My co op PD2 report is due in 5 days and I've barely started. Interesting how the panic hasn't set in yet and I continue to procrastinate.
#8087
OMG:
To the guy that stole my iPhone in Rev West Study Lounge. I have mobileme installed on it, and it would REALLY suck for me to show up with authorities tomorrow at your door, and have you escorted out. Not to mention, getting charged with theft under 1000$, and getting kicked out of university. Please reconsider what you've done. I'll forget this ever happened. Return it to Front Desk in REV tomorrow.

Waterloo why do you NEVER plow the roads? It's been at least 24 hours after it started snowing and main arterial roads are JUST NOW being plowed. And you people in Southern Ontario wonder why us Northerners laugh at you.

I am way behind in some schoolwork and just wasted the whole day on the computer. I also keep thinking about sex but I just got out of a relationship and I'm not sure what I want to do next.

Thanks to OMGUW I have had that awesome ching chong song stuck in my head all day. He is too cute! Where can a white girl meet a nice Asian boy?! MOD's NOTE: Uhhhhh. Do you even go to this school?
#8082
OMG:
Biotech/econ students are so haughty. Getting a BSc does not make you better than those of us getting a BA.
#8081
OMG:
Seeing the mechatronics and computer engineering student displays in DC makes me proud to go to this school.

So I love how yesterday, I was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops, and today we have 6 freaking inches of snow... oh mother nature...

The computer engineering students have filled DC main floor with project demonstrations like a self propelled chess board and an augmented reality collaboration space, makes me feel like i'm fucking saying nothing with my life.

#8074
OMG:
To the person who said this:"Anyone else think that all international students should have to take a mandatory etiquette/manners course?" I'm international, probably from the most screwed up and most rude country in the whole world, but I haven't seen a person who's nicer than me here so far, so I guess I could teach some internationals as well as locals some manners! While it's true for most international students(not me), I do believe your personality doesn't depend on where you've been living, cuz then I'd be the worst jerk in the whole campus.
#8073

I love using loop holes to book study rooms for longer or later when I need to :)

It's great that you're debating the political unrest in the middle east but please don't yell at the top of your lungs in the library. I understand its a touchy subject but I am trying to study.
#8070
OMG:
Once again, "the high school down the street" closes, but we are still open. It took me 2.5 hours to get here today and it normally takes me an hour. Friggin Innovative if you ask me
#8069
OMG:
Please don't hurt or hate the geese. There's probably a reasonable explanation to why they are hissing at people. They may just be protecting their eggs nearby.

I think that if the residence pathways or any pathways at UW can't be maintained due to the amount of snow, classes should be automatically canceled.

#8058
OMG: I saw a picture in DP with the library and some text including: "I loved this library when I was still studying here". Seriously DP is a nice library? It looks like a pile of stacked turd, inside and out.
#8057
OMG: Stop hatin on the geese. They so cute and today in this storm they had to huddle in the snow :(
#8056
OMG: Yet another grt bus passes by my stop. It wasn't full, maybe the driver was just malicious? They certainly enjoy the income from the bus passes that the university forces us to buy.

#8053
OMG: Can't remember my OAN access number. Try to retrieve it and am asked to answer my Challenge Questions. The first one's easy, the second one is: "I love to?" WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!?!
#8052
OMG: It appears that the entire university is currently sharing a blazing 28.8k connection.
#8051
OMG: The whole rumour that a goose "can break your arm with a flap of its wings" is preposterous. Geese have thin, hollow, light weight bones that allow them to fly. Their wing would break before your arm. If one starts hissing at you, just run at it, and the lil bitch will back off. Don't do this to every goose though; some are bros, and they don't deserve the bad reputation earned by a few assholes.
#8050
OMG: I just found the perfect way to blackmail the admins into giving our old logo back - I won't donate money when I graduate.
#8049
OMG: Claiming ESS is not professional because it's a bunch of people that know each other isn't actually realistic.
#8048

I'm sick of the fake posts on OMGUW. Why are you fucking here? Oh right, because you've got nothing better to do than imagine you actually have a fake life.
#8029
OMG:
Here I am. In my underwear. Messy room. Half banana on the desk. So many scraps from the assignment which I just fucked up (aka submitted). Few math & books here and there. Dirty laundry all over the place. Soul crushed. Lonely. Depressed. I know that councilling will help, but I just can't go. MOD's NOTE: We want to hug you right now, and tell you that it will get better. Believe it or not, you're already on the right path. You know you need to talk to someone, and don't wait to do it! Be strong, call Councilling Services.

OMG:
I keep having this perception that while UW puts lots of effort of getting good ties with the industry, there is not much done in the way of improving academic reputation. Do others feel this way?

#8025
OMG:
Worst sushi ever! Don't go to Sushi 99 because they tamper with your orders close to closing to try and get rid if excess food they made and make you pay more. There is no way we ordered 11 rolls, 35 skewers and 26 handrolls for our last order.

OMGUW needs to see this.

#8015
OMG: I wish instead of more engineering buildings, the school made buildings full of mini bed areas for off-campus students to have naps in. I would gladly pay extra on my tuition to create this building.
#8014
OMG: I'm in math... but Mathsoc kids freak me the fuck out. I feel this is appropriate for a couple of them.
#8013
OMG: Tights are NOT pants! Come one Waterloo girls, we're so much better than that and I'm pretty sure the whole Laurier image isn't one we're trying to go for. Pants up!

#7997
OMG: A person wrote his answer to an Econ midterm short-answer Q in russian reversal. I have no idea how to mark it.
#7996
OMG: It's 3 am and I am refreshing the OMGUW page, feeling overly-excited every time a new post comes up. It's really a beautiful feeling.
#7995
OMG:
Yup it 3am and I just checked ACE to see if any new grades are posted after I got home from the bar. Its worst than an addiction to slot machines!
#7994

Two weeks to study for finals, and I'm grinding mats for new gear. Why haven't the engineers developed a knowledge transfer device yet?

#7966
OMG: I'm having a mid-degree crisis. I'm questioning everything from my major to my relationship and even my friends.
#7965
OMG: One thing I will not miss about UW when I grad are the annoyingly loud guys that sit at the back of DC not doing work.
#7964
OMG: Next year I am supposed to live with a group of friends who aren't internet/tech savvy. I really don't know how I am going to live without talking about trolls, memes and the latest viral video. MOD'S NOTE: Introduce them to OMGUW!

OMG: I think the University of Waterloo is the best university on the planet.
#7962
OMG: I want to play a game, Rebecca Black...
#7961
OMG: Only in UW do you see a group of people chasing a football down a creek, using branches to try to retrieve it.
#7960
OMG: OMG Plus should have all omgs unfiltered. I would pay for unfiltered OMGs :D.
#7959
OMG: I couldn't stop laughing as I read the notice that WaterlooWorks was cancelled because they didn't think it scale to 6000 students. Get all the CS majors together for a weekend and we could build something better. Fail, UW, fail.
#7958
OMG: So there have been more offensive posters e-mailed sent out. This has resulted in free parking for safety reasons. Whoever is doing this, keep it up! Free parking is awesome.

OMG: Hmmm let's see how Japan is doing after the Tsunami... Anime production: check Manga production: check Weird game shows production: check In conclusion: they are doing fine

#7954
OMG: Regarding co-op students in Japan: "One option was to leave the country. We stressed to them that their safety was paramount. The students were supported on whatever decision they made, and to this point in time all but one have opted to leave." Is this kid trying to be an hero or something?
#7953

#7949
OMG: Inspired by #7902: why does it seem nigh impossible to find someone who is religious but only mildly so? I'm probably more involved than most people but the majority of my friends are largely apathetic to religion, and the rest are deeply committed. Is there no middle ground? TLDR: Why are people either fanatic or apathetic to religion?
#7948
OMG: The best part of being DD on St. Patrick's Day? Speeding up when you see WLU kids standing on the sidewalk next to a huge puddle.
#7947
OMG: Dammit spring! I don't like having to wear deodorant all the time.
#7946
OMG: MODS should monetize the site, add some google ads.
#7945
OMG: I guess I can't fault people for not knowing enough about technology but it makes me a little irritated when people make flippant comments about how the posters person should have been found by now since UW is such a tech school. The idea that even students should be able to find this guy is a little ridiculous. If this person knows what he is doing, then he could easily have bought a virtual private server in the States, or even have gone to Starbucks for the free and authentication-free wi-fi. Whatever he would have then said on the internet would consequently be shown as posted by an IP-address not owned by him. I'm pretty sure students don't have the power to issue subpoenas to companies from other countries (to grab their clients or router logs, etc.). Who knows- maybe he slipped u! p with fingerprints or something, but please don't assume everything can be more easily traced on the internet. MOD'S NOTE: tl;dr
#7944
OMG: Thank you windy weather. When I walk on campus, I fart a lot and the wind blows it away.
#7943
OMG: I wouldn't be surprised if the "misogynists" who are putting posters everywhere are just radical feminists creating an excuse to propagate their agenda.
#7942
OMG: Maybe you don't believe in feminism because of the negative connotations associated with the word, but maybe you should try believing in equality.
#7941
OMG: It's St. Patrick's Day, sunny, and 13 degrees outside. Too bad I'm stuck in DC studying for my midterm the next day. Thanks Waterloo.
#7940
OMG: Did I actually wait two hours in health services today to see the walk-in doctor?
#7939
OMG: When I get interviews on JobMine, I creep the other people on Facebook.
#7938
OMG: Why are people still wearing coats on campus? Get your shorts on!
#7937
Thursday, March 17
OMG: Mods are too drunk to update... Duh, WINNING. MOD'S NOTE: Wrong, we drunk update. #Biwinning.
#7936
OMG: Saw a girl wearing a green hijab today. Score 1 for multiculturalism!!
#7935
OMG: I saw a man in green peeing on the Lutheran Seminary next to Laurier. Ah St. Patrick's Day, the saint's day where people urinate on churches!
#7934
OMG: I wonder if the Mathematics Endowment Fund realizes their logo kind of looks like a penis.
#7933
OMG: To the people complaining about the trolls: You're only fueling their fire. So long as OMGUW exists so will trolling. Don't like it?. Get off the internet. K, Thanks.
#7932
OMG: I swear to god PSCI 110 student's send the stupidest emails on ACE
#7931
OMG: There should be more days like St. Patty's. You really get to see the spirit on campus. Love love love the sea of green today. Good job UW
#7930
OMG: The poster campaign hasn't stopped with just the first poster. As of this Monday, the number of posters that have been distributed via e-mail to various influential women on campus has gone up to FIVE, the most recent of which included a thinly-veiled threat of violence, and possibly a bomb threat. Anyone looking for more information can contact the Women's Studies Society. The University has largely avoided reporting it in order to protect its reputation, but ignorance isn't the way to fight this. And if any white-hat CS students want to see this as a challenge to try and figure out this asshole's identity... I don't think anyone at the WSS would be opposed to any anonymous tips. :D
#7929
OMG: To the person playing bagpipes in REV west in the morning. Thanks for waking me up. I'll return the favour later by blasting my sax even earlier and louder. You're welcome.
#7928
OMG: I wish OMG had A Gives Me Hope page
#7927
OMG: Does the fact that I just thought to myself "Good thing I can illegally stream Jersey Shore so I can get littered for St. Patrick's day without missing it" make me the scum of the scum of the earth?
#7926
OMG: Is it just me or have the geese mellowed out this year?
#7925
OMG: Remember, debating feminism on OMGUW is serious business.
#7924
OMG: My birthday is on Friday, and whoever plays that stupid "Friday" song by Rebecca Black is going to be very sorry.
#7923
OMG: Hey MODs, have you thought of posting a poll, one that would ask "What year are you in?" I'd be interesting to see the most popular demographic OMGUW reaches. MOD'S NOTE: Good idea.
#7922
OMG: I refuse to vote for a candidate in any form if they go to Waterloo and don't understand how to hyperlink a link in a facebook post.
#7921
OMG: I would appreciate some more communication from the SLC cashier. Part of your job is telling me how much my purchase is. Don't just stand there and make me look like the idiot who can't count change.
#7920
OMG: I stole a wrap and a carton of chocolate milk from the SLC cafeteria today. It felt like getting away with murder.
#7919
OMG: To the Math 128 TAs, getting a hand-drawn smiley on my assignment makes doing them worth it. Thanks for the encouragement! :)
#7918
OMG: If I want to look slutty on a Wednesday night, I will!
#7917
OMG: SciSoc Board Of Directors Referendum results: yes-87, against-103, declined-5. I hope the people who voted against had future students' tuitions in mind...
#7916
OMG: Are the ratings really necessary? To be honest, they take much longer than the page to load so it can be a pain in the ass to navigate back and forth to look at OMGs when the page is constantly "expanding". Not only that, they're ambiguous anyway. Is there anyway you could make them optional so we can turn them off?
#7915
Wednesday, March 16
OMG: Instead of Williams or Starbucks in EV3, they should have put in Sugar Mountain. RIP Sugar Mountain.
#7914
OMG: To all the people who like to cry misogyny anytime someone makes an argument counter to your opinion: please note, anti-feminism DOES NOT equal misogyny. I am pro women, but I'm also pro men, and yes I CAN be both.
#7913
OMG: My psych 211 prof is talking about when incest is allowable. Bad time for the girl beside me to invite her little brother to come with her to class.
#7912
OMG: I intentionally did not vote in the SCI referendum today in the hopes that I would aid in not reaching quorum.
#7911
OMG: One month and five days to say good bye to the residence and first year!
#7910
OMG: When I hear people talking in DP, I just feel like blasting music. Fight fire with fire.
#7909
OMG: My laptop broke and this is my only entertainment on my phone, thanks for updating so quickly mods! MOD'S NOTE: You're welcome!
#7908
OMG: Dear University of Waterloo: If you want to change your reputation so badly, pour money into the infrastructure (more labs, more classrooms etc) rather than stupid marketing initiatives. If you made these improvements, the reputation will come, regardless of your website/logo/typeface
#7907
OMG: I'm really disappointed in the fact that whenever something gets posted someone always feel that it is their responsibility to be rude to with the OP or the other commenters
#7906
OMG: I think it's very anti-feminist to call another girl/woman a slut. I think all women should sleep around more and not fear being judged. In fact, I encourage you all to have sex with some random dude, lets break down societies tabus together! Sincerely, Your very horny male UW peers
#7905
OMG: Did anyone see the new posters that got put up by the crazy posters person? I've heard they also targeted other minorities and made some references to Darwin and Gandhi? Can anyone verify what they said? Just curious.
#7904
OMG: Is anyone else excited about the Williams going into EV3? Fuck Starbucks.
#7903
OMG: I don't care what the library website will look like, stop emailing me.
#7902
OMG: Do you think it would ever work out, if two people started dating but one was religious and the other is not at all?
#7901
OMG: Okay MODS, while I am all for you keeping the crap out of this site, presumably anything related to current events at UW should be posted here. I submitted a perfectly reasonable OMG about people misinterpreting the survey about changing the diplomas. Update time, you didn't post it. Why? MOD'S NOTE: I believe you are OP of #7891.
#7900
OMG: Rebecca Black has taken over my life. Now I can never tell which seat I should take.
#7899
OMG: There is no way I'm giving any money to those Red Cross collections for the victims of the Japanese Tsunami. I just saw one of those supposed "victims" being interviewed on TV and the guy had THREE fracking boats in his back yard!
#7898
OMG: I think it will be a sad day when a team such as Banana Republic wins based on their pretty posters instead of there views. What does the banana republic have to offer to us ENVS students really?
#7897
OMG: I need to thank the guy who helped me dig my car out of the ditch this evening across from SJU! You ran away to class before I could thank you. Sincerely Thank-You!
#7896
OMG: So I looked at the women's center poster today while standing in line for Tim Hortons. They say they are pro-woman organization, but are an free of bias against any 'isms' of discrimination. Isn't sexism an 'ism'? Fucking double standards.
#7895
OMG: Does any one else think of thier dreams/tuition going down the drain when they look at the new homepage image?
#7894
OMG: I was half asleep in class today when my prof asked us, what is a BJT. Being very tired I yelled out the first thing on my mind (which was a jk I heard earlier) and I yelled out "blow job time"
#7893
OMG: During the open house, some middle eastern guy with a thick beard and raggy clothes went around ripping down direction signs and mumbled "This university sucks, get used to it."
#7892
OMG: Reading these anti-women, anti queer comments and posts make me want to puke, then transfer to a different school that isn't filled with homophobes and anti-feminists.. Thanks Waterloo.
#7891
OMG: People need to understand the University is NOT trying to change the official crest used on the diplomas. The survey about the diplomas was just to see if students would like something a little less... dull. A UW diploma should be instantly recognizable as such when someone sees it on the wall of an office. Not in a flashy laserific way - but the current one is hopelessly boring. They could stand to update it.
#7890
Tuesday, March 15
OMG:
I went to DP to write a paper that I have procrastinated on for weeks. When I got there I went to take a leak and as I took my headphones out, they fell into the urinal. Now I'm being forced to do my paper. Thanks DP.
#7889
OMG:
To avoid the awkwardness expelled with my excessively loud bathroom fart, I'm just gonna avoid the kitchen area tonight and let my female roommate do my dishes.
#7888
OMG:
I saw you. You know I saw you. You looked me in the eyes and walked right out of the washroom without washing your hands. First you poop in a public washroom and stink up the place AND you walk out without washing your hands? Disgrace. Stop eating that candy right now. You're grossing me out.
#7887
OMG:
Engineers don't rule the world. But they can help to make it a better place -A graduating computer engineering student
#7886
OMG:
You know you've been at DP too long when people speaking in Asian start to sound like people speaking in Irish. MOD's NOTE: We speak fluent Asian.
#7885
OMG:
People, we need more LOLCATs here.
#7884
OMG:
To the people that looked at me weird for switching seats in that exam right before it start - try sitting behind that one dude. He does not shower, ever.
#7883
OMG:
I was walking to the SLC along the residence path, and picked up a watch at about 9:30 this morning. It's for a rather small wrist, female, silver. If anyone's lost it. It's at the REV front desk.
#7882
OMG:
So you're not supposed to date your friends, and you're not supposed to date your roommates, but what about your friend's roommate?
#7881
OMG:
Work terms can get really depressing and lonely when you live 7 hours away from anyone you know.
#7880
OMG:
It's kinda freaky how unacceptable it is to be outraged by sexism on campus, and apathy within the administration. It's even weirder when females are telling people to stop talking about sexism. Internalization?!
#7879
OMG:
Are the imprint's Comics meant to be impossible to figure out? If so than Gold Fuckin' Star!
#7878
OMG:
My mom and I drove past Laurier, and she questioned why I didn't go there... because all of the girls.
#7877
OMG:
OMGUW,I finally over came my shyness barrier. I talked to a guy today without feeling shy. So to all you shy UW students -go on speak up, you can overcome your shyness too!!
#7876
OMG:
I get really frustrated when someone posts an MC, and when there are questions posted in the comments, they receive no answer. Does anyone else feel the same way? Why post an MC if you're not going to respond to people about it?
#7875
OMG:
I was going to eat my sub at Subway but they undercharged me so I took my sub and ran away!
#7874
OMG:
LOL at VEVO trying to recruit at UW, like anyone with half a brain is going to apply. MOD's NOTE: Why not?
#7873
OMG:
Someday I want to marry a Water Boy.
#7872
OMG:
This is like the writing of shit on the bathroom wall for the 21st century. MOD's NOTE: For a good time, call Jenny: 867-5309
#7871
OMG:
Thank you to whoever has a cats meow as their ring tone when they were in Renison Library. Pretty sure the librarian thought someone had a cat in the library with them :)
#7870
OMG:
Just got approached by two girls from Campus for Christ. I respectfully told them I was atheist, and yet I still had to sit there for my entire break between classes and listen to them talk.
#7869
OMG:
Hey UW... when people talk about sexism on campus, it's not just about the posters. If you feel that you have to watch your drink at parties, were told that not wearing makeup would give you a disadvantage in your co-op interviews, or have ever been derisively called a "slut", you should recognize that we have a problem.
#7868
OMG:
To the 5 students living outside until Friday, kudos to you guys. Laurier is doing the same thing, but they have raised over 4 grand. Come on uWaterloo let's get out there and donate :P
#7867
OMG:
Love trolling potential first years when they come to visit
