OMG:
Haters gonna hate: Waterloo threatened with boycott over CIGI by Canadian professors association.
#12820
OMG:
That awkward moment when you fart in the DP elevators and there is a kid standing beside you and he goes "mom that man just farted!"
#12819
OMG:
PD2 team posts a message to all students at 12:07 PM that grades are out and students will be able to access them. At 4:00 PM that same day, the PD2 team posts that they have not marked all the reports, and will be delayed maybe for 2 weeks.
Basically says it all for how big of a joke PD2 is and how they basically were screw ups entire term.
#12818
OMG:
Waterloo Residences, could the staff there be any worse?

OMG:
I love it when I check my mark on Quest and I'm not satisfied and then the next day I check it again and it drops even lower.
#12816
OMG:
BIOL 373 students of the future, good luck. The course is now taught by a former Laurier prof too proud to admit she's terrible. And we give this first-time prof a course with a 70% final? Least enjoyable class I've ever barely failed, and I took orgo thrice.
#12815
OMG:
Oh great, CHEM 123 marks aren't going up till nearly the start of next term! Taking a look at the prof's folder shows that the same thing happened last year :\
#12814
OMG:
All I could think was, Robin Sparkles in The Avengers!
#12813
OMG:
This is an accurate hilariously depiction of what exams are are like at UW.
#12812
OMG:
Made this when I was still in school back in August roughly. I miss UW!
#12811
OMG:
A couple days ago there was a sign on one of the DP elevators saying it was temporarily out of order. Ever since then I have been terrified of every little sway and creaking noise, feeling that somehow the elevator's cables are going to snap, sending me plunging to my death in a free-fall. This is really much better motivation to get me to take the stairs than some stupid health services sign.
#12810
OMG:
It's snowing again... seems like Canada has two seasons now: hot and WAAAAAY TOO FUCKING COLD!
#12809
OMG:
My summer has so far consisted of sleeping, watching Game of Thrones, IFC films, and playing NHL. I think it's time I find myself a boyfriend.
#12808
OMG:
UW student reading OMGUW at a UofT library. I'm special.
#12807
OMG:
It's one thing to receive a bad grade in a class. It's worse knowing that, that wouldn't be my grade if I wasn't sick while writing my exam :(
#12806
OMG:
That awkward feeling when you decline an employer instead of them declining you.
#12805
OMG:
The exam was multiple choice. Why are the marks still not up yet? I've processed scantron cards for a class a couple times before, it can all be done in an afternoon :\
#12804
OMG:
How to get a MC written about you:
For Girls
1. Smile
2. Be confident
3. Fix your posture

For guys:
1. Be a gentleman
2. Fix your posture
3. Be dominant
4. Laugh and smile when a girl talks to you
5. Work out
6. Be confident
#12803
OMG:
I miss school. Breaks are lonely.
#12801
OMG:
Is it just me, or are Waterloo students extremely apathetic and ignorant about whats going on in the rest of the world?
#12800
OMG:
That moment when you look through the missed connections and feel so grateful because your connection wasn't missed.
PS: Haters be hatin'

OMG:
On April 24, NSERC announced an end to the Research Tools and Instruments Grant. At UW this grant provided $2,339,374 annually for important equipment. Across Canada, the cut is $31,383,664 annually. This is on top of the previous cuts to the NSERC Discovery grants, and it continues the trend of decreased funding for Canadian research and innovation.
Long term cuts of this nature will bring Canadian... universities closer the UK or American models. In the UK, there are few universities that are actually able to do new research, while American universities have to charge large tuition fees to support their research programs. And these approaches have consequences. In America, there is now more student debt than credit card debt. The UK has fallen behind European countries in terms of research and innovation.
Many of us want to go on to graduate school and professorships. This affects those students directly. But this also has the potential to affect all of us. It's in our best interest to have a vibrant technology sector. And there are plenty of innovations that will only come out of universities.
The timing of this announcement is not coincidental. Most students are going home for the summer, others are busy with exams. This was set up to avoid an outcry. With your help, I'd like to show that one can still be raised.
So what can we do?
Some of you are going to the CUTC. It would be great if you can inform other undergraduates about these changes and what they mean for them. If we can get the word out to other campuses and other programs we can achieve a broader base of support.
We can also write letters and phone politicians. The MP for our area is Peter Braid. We're also lucky to also have the Cabinet Minister for Science and Technology, Gary Goodyear nearby (in Cambridge). I've included their contact information below.
The announcement is below, along with an editorial on the cuts to the Discovery Grant program. The points it makes are equally valid for RTI Grant.
Links: here, here, here, and here
MOD'S NOTE: Tl;dr: Research money is being cut, help complain about it to important people.
#12796
OMG:
So can you use the grade points on Quest to somehow derive a GPA? Being asked for my GPA is awkward when all I have is a two digit average...
#12795
Wednesday, April 25
OMG:
It's funny that the set of classmates and acquaintances I hated in first year morphed into best friends and boyfriends by third.
#12794
OMG:
Campus has been so quiet this week. All you can hear are the cries of grad students who didn't do more work during the previous two terms.
#12793
OMG:
Seriously don't give out essay question exams! Waiting for you to mark it and get my marks is killer. I just want to know if I passed :(
#12792
OMG:
Whoever works at the registrar's office should get FIRED ASAP! Been waiting for my enrolment for 4 weeks now. Stop sitting on your lazy asses and get to stepping, seriously!
#12791
OMG:
Coming to terms with the fact that you probably failed one of your courses, and then actually managing to pass that course by some miracle is the best feeling in the world!
#12790
OMG:
My condolences to those still seeking jobs. I've been there. What's the difference between a loser and a strong person? A loser fails to continue believing in themselves. Keep believing, and work hard at securing a job.

To encourage the use of OMG UW over this summer I have built a Chrome app that notifies you when there are new updates. Enjoy!
Please let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions in the comments! And please review/rate the app on the chrome store!
MOD'S NOTE: Thank you, kind sir.

OMG:
Dear profs: why the fuck... are my grades... NOT MOTHERFUCKING POSTED?
#12786
OMG:
That moment when you are excited because you got your mark back and then immediately disappointed because it is not what you thought it would be.
#12785
OMG:
When you're advertising your sublet or place, please note down which term you're advertising for! It gets really tiring to keep emailing people to differentiate between the Spring and Fall leases!
#12784
OMG:
Why are the girls answering phones in student awards and financial aid office so rude? All I want to do is arrange my fees, you don't have to be a bitch about it. Not like I'm asking for your dad's money.
#12783
OMG:
Convocation this summer? Bitch please, I'm off to Poland/Ukraine for the Euros then London for the Olympics. Grad Euro trip is gunna be a blast, cant wait!
#12782
OMG:
My prof is an idiot! She's making up rules about how I cannot review my exam until the grades are official in May. Well, dear dumbass, I'm leaving for co-op and it is not my problem that you choose to mark a science course in such a subjective manner. I don't trust your marking and I KNOW I did much better than you claim. As for the "rules", check the registrar's guidelines before you make a fool of yourself.
Rant over. Now if I could find a polite and professional way to put this into an email...
#12781
OMG:
Why the hell won't UW Textbook Exchange let me join their Facebook group?

Glad I didn't make the mistake of staying in CS.
#12779
OMG:
To those graduates who are always complaining about moving in with their parents after graduating: WAKE UP! You're old enough to realize your life is your fault. You don't have a great job, you dont make that much money, you are fat and ugly, and then you hate on going back to your parents house cause they're the ones providing you with a roof over your head for free?
#12778
OMG:
Nervous about going to school with 6 courses in the summer!!
#12777
OMG:
If anyone finds an iPhone (3G old school, don't know why anyone would take it) with a pink case, please return it to turnkey. It's worthless in terms of money, but priceless to me.
#12776
OMG:
Despite graduating and obtaining a degree, I can't help but feel a great sense of loss. The community that I put so much effort in establishing has been dismantled by this fateful day. Even though I know we all say we will stay friends, I suspect we will have to settle for Facebook.

OMG GRADES!:
The waiting game for grades begins...
Not one of my marks is posted up. Great job TAs and Profs.
GRAAADES!!!!
Marks go up today! :O
Grades are up - bring on the posts about doing really well or failing/disappointment. And since this is whiny capital, I take it the latter will be the main topic of discussion ;)
#12774
OMG:
Waterloo is sooooo dead during the week between terms, c'mon guys, where the parties at ?!
#12773
OMG:
Is it just me or are there more Asian Christians on Campus than White Christians?
#12772
OMG:
Work report due in 2 weeks. Haven't even started yet.
#12771
OMG:
Fuck I'm bored. Can't wait to start work and school. So I can be like FUCK, I cannot wait to be done work and school.
#12770
OMG:
Initially, I did not want to come to Waterloo. I was so upset when my parents dropped me off that first September.
I have always hated the campus.
And now that I'm graduated, I am so upset to be leaving.
Its crazy how things change.
My advice to everyone: Get involved, in whatever way you can. Clubs / academics / sports etc. You will meet the most amazing people ever and be able to look back on your university experiences and know you lived it to the fullest.
Peace out Waterloo - I'm really going to miss you... and all the amazing people I met along the way that made my life as wonderful as it has been. <3 Thank you!
#12769
OMG:
It feels really weird moving back home (permanently) upon graduation.
#12768
OMG:
At a starbucks in toronto, got Eduroam. Fuck yeah!
#12767
OMG:
DONE at Waterloo! It's bittersweet, but, after looking around campus this last few days, I realized I don't belong here anymore. Good luck to all my fellow graduates with whatever you decided to do with your lives; it seems like yesterday we were all cheering and celebrating Orientation Week. And to those just starting out at
UW, good luck butm class of 2012 was definitely the best thing to happen to UW thus far.
WATER, WATER, WATER!
#12766
OMG:
So I realised that a lot of people post MCs about dons. Where can I get the application to become a don? ;)

Exploring the campus at night is a really amazing thing.
#12764
OMG:
So I declared my love for a girl, and she rejected me. I don't feel sorry for my self, In fact, I value myself more for having the balls to tell her how I feel. I''m mature enough to appreciate that despite the fact she rejected me, I'll still have an amazing friend by my side. I don't think I'll never find love, I know there is someone out there for me. I know if it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. Despite the fact that I understand and know all these things, I can't help but feel sad she rejected me though, cause I really did like this one.
#12763
OMG:
Over the years wouldn't you think that Waterloo would have created a better mail service? How am I supposed to send professional emails from my uwaterloo account when nothing ever appears in my inbox.
#12762
OMG:
Finished my last exam! I finally get to see what all the fuss over this Skyrim business is about.
#12761
OMG:
I hate how some of the hallways in the biology building smell like shit.
#12760
OMG:
Okay, I'm done my degree, moving back in with parent, no car, and lots of debt. I predict that it will be difficult to get laid. FML.
#12759
OMG:
Why do people talk about laws or "breaking the law" as if it can't be changed? The whole point of have a democracy is that the society chooses the law! Wake up and empower yourselves.
#12758
OMG:
To the girl who left her WatCard on bus #2320 on the 29 Keats Way, your card was given to the driver. Call GRT to pick it up.
#12757
OMG:
So excited for first Bomber Wednesday of Spring term! Gonna get white boy wasted...
#12756
OMG:
That awkward moment when you're not sure if you're happy because you finished your exams, or you're sad because you might have failed the exam (and the course).
#12754
OMG:
My bicycle helmet saved my life yesterday. If you ride a bicycle, at the very least, PLEASE wear a helmet. There seems to be way too many cyclists in Waterloo who don't. It can make the difference between being hospitalized and walking away with a few scrapes and bruises.
MOD'S NOTE: Helmets are the best. We're glad you're okay!

OMG:
Last exam today and I really need to get it over with so I can have a good cry.
#12752
OMG:
8.5 hrs. before the exam you're about to fail, oh wait, just have to check OMGUW before I start studying.
#12751
OMG:
That moment when a friend makes a joke about himself and nobody laughs because it's true.
#12750
OMG:
You know you have great friends when you've moved cities 6 times, and no one in your family drives. To everyone who has helped a friend move, you guys are amazing.
#12749
OMG:
I've had a week to study for my last final, but procrastinated the whole week away, and now I'm stuck cramming the night before. Dear brain, FUCK OFF, I need to learn to stop screwing myself over..
#12748
OMG:
Worst thing about end-of-classes; finding a subletter....
#12747
OMG:
Prof just hugged me as I handed in my exam... love her! If anyone wants to take an amazing course with an even better prof take Spanish 101 with B. C.!
Such a sweetheart!
#12746
OMG: For everyone who's graduating....you will all truly be missed!
Wishing you the best of luck, the remaining UW students. :)
#12745
OMG:
A lot of people on here complain about how much they hate their jobs. Hopefully one day you will find a job that you love. I'm finishing my coop next week and I'd rather stay at work because my job is fun and all of my coworkers are fantastic.
#12744
OMG:
Studying one unit for hours to see that it's not even on the exam.
#12743
OMG: Reddit look like Waterloo on the front page.
#12742
OMG:
After rereading the thread, I am even more disgusted by how no one really questions or cares about how much of a man's world this is, how everything is catered to men and their general views of things, and so on. Also, thanks to the women who completely understood what I was getting at, I love you all, you are amazing. Keep being the awesome people you are.

OMG:
I've always avoided using the "wave here" function on the GRT buses due to stories here about it not working. After observing many people successfully open the doors, I worked up the courage to try it myself. Today, I was the only one getting off my stop. I tried waving by the door. It didn't open. Anxiety spike. I had to yell out that the door wasn't opening. I am mortified - maybe I was doing it wrong.
#12740
OMG:
New goal in life: create a reliable scientific journal that publishes articles in a clear and reader-friendly manner where no small or smudgy fonts are used and nothing is put in two friggin columns. (I realize my sentence in long and poorly phrased but I’m pissed and it’s 4 a.m.)
#12739
OMG:
I solve my relationship problems from the answers people give to the OMGUW Ask questions.
#12738
OMG:
I caught myself passing a good looking guy and thinking "hmm I wonder if he'll write a missed connection about me..." Oh god, so THIS is what my love life has come to.
#12737
OMG:
Now that co-op is done, let's all rate our co-op jobs at http://www.ratemycoopjob.com/
#12736
OMG:
Love those MC exams where almost every question had the option of "a," "b," "c," "a, b, and c" or "a and c" and the b's are always the one you're unsure about.
#12735
OMG:
Dana Porter Library update: guy in front of me says "shit" everytime he gets an answer wrong. Makes me feel better cause he says it a lot ;)
#12734
OMG:
Stop complaining about getting "friendzoned" you fucks.
#12733
OMG:
At this point in the exam season, my brain has quietly resigned.
#12732
OMG:
For those that care about The Imprint, read The Problem with The Imprint. It's a long read, but well worth the time.
#12731
OMG:
Why isn't there any paint on the walls of most buildings at UW?
#12730
OMG:
Apparently profs don't understand that students ALWAYS calculate what they need to get on an exam based on the marks they've gotten so far in the course... we can't do that unless you give us all of our marks back before the exam! I understand you have a lot to do but marking these assignments should be a priority especially if it's worth a high portion of the student's grades!
#12729
OMG:
The prof for ENGL 208C is by far the rudest prof I have ever had!
#12728
Wednesday, April 18
OMG:
Apparently bringing water to your exam helps your grade. Thats it! I'm bringing a box of 24 bottles during my next exam.
#12727
OMG:
Girls, as hard as it is, ignore mass media and the way it depicts what an attractive person should look like. Beauty is not objective, but is subjective. Remember beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and no matter what, someone will see you as beautiful. Even if you've been up all night studying for an exam, and you perceive yourself to be looking like a mess.
MOD'S NOTE: What about boys?
#12726
OMG:
This is it Waterloo. See you for convocation in June!
#12725
OMG:
Please be considerate to others when you're finished your exam. This applies to being silent as you're leaving the exam early, and when you're finished all of your exams and packing up to leave.
#12724
OMG:
Is anyone in Engineering considering grad school? It seems like almost everyone I talk to just wants to get the hell out.
#12723
OMG:
Just realized I barely drank any water and barely slept in the last 3 days for back to back non-bird courses. Freedom, I am coming for you.
#12722
OMG:
Most disgusting thing happened at Subway in the Plaza today. I ordered a sub and the worker sneezed into his hand. Without changing his glove, he proceeded to dig his filthy, germ ridden hands into the lettuce. I protested and he apologized profusely. If this is the health/safety due diligence they take when a customer is there watching, I wonder what kind of nasty shortcuts these guys take behind the scenes (just visit one of their bathrooms and you'll know what i am taking about.) Never going there again.
#12721
OMG:
Campus Coin Laundry Y U NO PAY RENT?
...lugs laundry back home.
#12720
OMG:
The trash can in most bathrooms is right under the paper towel dispenser. How do people still manage to miss? It's things like this that make me wonder what the janitors think of us, not to mention all the disgusting things we see in bathrooms.
#12719
OMG:
Two profs were standing and whispering in front of my desk for most of the exam. The hissing sound made it difficult to concentrate.
#12718
OMG:
To the people I heard gossiping about me, I just wanted to say it really sucks to walk past a group of girls and hear "that's her". You don't even know me and have no right to pass judgments about me just because I have an illness you may not be able to understand.
MOD'S NOTE: Those lousy bastards.
#12717
OMG:
Please remember that life gets better after exams. Just a couple of days more and you can enjoy not thinking about anything! I am also so stressed that I randomly cried because I was scared, but I toughed it out, went to the library, and killed that exam like a pro.
#12716
OMG:
I feel bad for the kids living at SJ next year. Way too many big changes.
#12715
OMG:
Whenever I'm down because of an exam, the only thing that cheers me up is when other people think they did bad too.
#12714
OMG:
Finished at UW and still a virgin. I should have gone to Guelph.
#12713
OMG:
If you are feeling bored, it is nice to know that Waterloo isn't a complete bore of a city. I wish this site was around back when I was in first year.

Does anyone else have to click "Publish your comment" twice to have work properly?
#12710
OMG:
I've noticed that the ASKs and OMGs about sex always have way more comments than the other ones. MODS, you need to use this to get more people on this site. Off the top of my head: sexier ads, sexier banners, OMGUW sex orgy event?
MOD'S Note: This is not the Toronto Sun.
#12709
OMG:
I can't believe that I am so stressed that I cried when water fell on my notes.
MOD'S NOTE: It gets better soon.
#12708
OMG:
This middle-aged man who always uses the computers in DP is always packing up / fidgeting loudly when he's irritated - which is often. Talking to himself, slamming things on the table. I don't think he realizes no ones gives a crap that he's pissed off at something. I wish he'd just STFU but he's always so self-absorbed and angry that he doesn't care about the looks I give him.
#12707
OMG:
I don't understand people who complain about lack of sleep for university students. I'm in engineering and if I didn't waste so much time, I'd easily sleep 12+ hours a day. I'm wondering if this is all some kinda of an inside joke among university students or people are really working so hard that they don't have enough time for sleep (highly doubtful).
#12706
OMG:
Does no one notice how society sets standards for us? Go to school, get a job and then live the rest of your life working a job that you may, or may not like while competing against your neighbours for the better car etc. Obviously there is more around it. Some people are generally comfortable with it, which is fine. There just needs to be a better range of people out there.. we're all born unique, but end up being clones. It just really gets me thinking.. since my parents try and get me to conform to society, and believe I have to end up like everyone else.. and NOT follow my dreams. Opinions?
#12705

So tired I was nearly killed by a GIANT RED Coke truck in front of ML this morning. Huzzah!

OMG:
This is my schedule the last few weeks because of exams: Wake up at 1pm, eat, shower, be lazy for an hours, grab a coffee, go to the library, study till 2 or 3am, go home and do it all again. Every single day. What is your schedule?
#12702
OMG:
That awkward look you get when you rub Porcelino's (Arts mascot) nose for good luck.
I always act like I'm tying my shoe on it first and then I go in for the rub!
#12701

With all due respect to those with religious values (or strong beliefs about the subject) Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say "I'm waiting to be in a stable, loving relationship" rather than "I'm waiting until marriage"?
#12700

I like what I do in school because it shows me that I may in fact know what I'm doing when everything else in life tells me otherwise.

"Call me maybe" was playing through my mind as I was writing the Chem 123 exam today. Couldn't focus at all.
#12698

I don't know if it just because it's exam season or because of the new MODS but I like that this site is updated everyday. It used to be 2-3 times a week.

I had a choice of two jobs: one where I do what I love, and one that I hate but would make more money.
I chose the job I loved - money doesn't make people happy, and I'm going to prove that.

Just to be sure, the people in the MCs section are talking about gay crushes right? Since there are no "female women" in Waterloo and all.

Honestly, why is DC so HOT?

I used to get asked out a lot before I came to UW. But ever since I came here I turned into a foreveralone bitter beast. I really enjoy hearing about other girl's failures. FFFUUUU UW

OMG:
I just received an email from "UW Study Aids" offering to sell me last year's final exam for a biology course that I am taking. They are asking $35, and show screen shots of the exam which look highly suspect (like someone took pictures with a cellphone). Does anyone know about this, and does anyone else think this is unfair?!?

OMG:
I was studying in DP today and these 2 girls sit at a study space a few rows behind me. One of them starts bitching about how she doesn't have enough time to study, so she has to defer an exam. She then proceeds to spend the rest of the evening talking to her friend about stuff of facebook, talking to her friend about some cute pictures, and all kinds of other BS. These 'students' never cease to amaze me.
#12671
OMG:
I just wanted to let the new mods know that you guys are doing a great job. I have noticed that the OMGs and ASKs (only 2 sections worth reading IMO) get updated much more often now and that's great!
Too bad this is my last term and I will soon have no reason to visit this site ;)
#12669
OMG:
I don't know what to do, I always study hard for my exams and midterm and majority of the time I understand the material. But when it comes times to write the exams I never do well! By that I mean I have never gotten a 75+ on any final exam. I dont know what to do anymore, my program needs 70+ avg to stay in and I am honestly really scared that I won't stay in. I can't get kicked out of this program the shame and guilt that I will have to face from myself and my parents. They expect me to do really well, but once they see my grades they will be extremely disappointed. I try hard, but then I still do poorly.

Proctoring an exam? Leave your high heels at home! It sucks already to have to write some of my exams in PAC, but to listen to you clack around for no reason?

To the sick people in DP/DC/SLC, you've increased my fear greatly since I have a 14 hour flight in 2 days. Please be considerate to the international students who just want to get back home safely... cover yourself with your arms rather than your hands when sneezing/coughing, get a proper sleep before your exam (sleep is more important than studying all night). Not a rant, just some advice. Get well soon and enjoy the summer!

Of course I'd get sick 2 days before my exam...

OMG:
To my fellow undergrads in all faculties, I would like to remind you that your degree is worthless, and that undergrad is a joke. The experience of undergrad, and the connections you build while you are here speak far louder than the piece of paper you receive at the end. Do not expect your degree to get you a job, expect your achievements made along the way as the biggest determiner. This goes for engineers as well. If you do not have the experience and connections to prove your piece of paper is worth something, don't expect to get anywhere
Back your paper, do things that set you apart from your peers, and connect with like minded folk in the field you wish to break into; that is how you will be truly successful, even with a failing grade.
MOD'S NOTE: That's because you're probably in Arts. Just saying.
#12658
OMG:Two weeks is more than enough to grade an essay. Get off your lazy, fat TA asses and do your jobs. I'd like to know my grade before I walk into my exam, you cockjugglers.

Will there be any OMGUW events any time soon? I want to see RL. :)
MOD'S NOTE: We don't have anything planned yet, but we'll be working on it after exams. Any suggestions?
#12656
OMG:Note to self; Always keep a toothbrush handy with you during exam time, cause you never know when that son of a bitch will have you spending a whole night in the mc studying. I seriously think back to back exams should be shunned.

So I've studied with a couple different editions of the same textbook this term and haven't been able to notice that many differences...chapter numbers are the same, even figure/table numbers haven't changed. Oh wait! In the fifth edition this diagram of the central nervous system is drawn on a black person's head instead of a white one. I see.

I don't know what the big deal is about people being loud in the library. Learn to block it out, there's going to be many situations in life outside of your control that bother you more than people talking loudly. This is just like natural selection, university style.

You know, it's actually fun to roam around in the library observing all the painful faces. Hey, lest you forget, you can still smile while preparing for an exam.
#12641
OMG:Whoever made the Phys 122 exam needs to go fuck themselves. 3 long anser questions, 2 are on the first half of the course covered by the midterm, one on the untested part of the course. 16 multiple choice, all incredibly hard as fuck, each involving more work then the long answer questions. Learn how to make a final exam.

You bitch at me for two hours about not doing well in school, the ridiculous amount of studying your have to do and the possibility of getting kicked out of your program if you don't do well during this exam season, and then I go and run in to you, completely wasted, at our mutual friend's birthday party??

I saw a guy getting kicked out of the library, after having a heated argument with the security guard who kicked him out.
I am a student and stand for the students. I spoke to the security guard afterwards and he answered all my questions, but one thing he was unable to tell me was WHY: Why are we not allowed to bring food that is not hot nor aromatic, but was once hot, and is now completely cold, into the library.
We are told that this is a policy and we must follow it. How long has this policy been present for (I don't remember this happening in the previous terms)- If it is new we should have gotten a memo of it- clearly telling us why.
If they failed to give us a memo, they should have proper signs telling us what is allowed and what is not. (Their hot/aroma sign just tells us half of the reason why they kick us out.)
We have the right to know why at least, especially when they decided to enforce this on us at 2am -the night before your exam, for example.
#12635
OMG:
Is there a reason why so many people study on campus during exams? I find that that the best place to get any serious studying done is at home where you can be "in your zone"
#12634

The moment when you realize 4 of your OMGs got posted on the same day. I should be studying, but so should the MODs.

It enrages me when people bring their laptop to a computer room (like DC or DP) and then sit their laptop beside or on top of the keyboard, and don't even use the desktop computer. I don't care if you're there to be sitting beside a friend, it is EXTREMELY rude and selfish! I'm trying to use these rooms because I do NOT have a laptop on campus, that's the whole damn point! Go sit somewhere else if you're not even going to use the desktop computer. I'm always afraid to approach them to ask for their spot.
#12626
OMG:
The University would benefit from an anonymous online tip line for noisy people at the library. Send in where people are being noisy, and a librarian or library worker comes by to tell them to shut up.

To the guy at CIF on Wednesday morning with the bright orange shirt and the fauxhawk - instead of moving my water bottle onto the floor and taking over the treadmill while I grabbed a cloth, maybe you could have waited for me to clean my equipment and collect my belongings. Patience is a virtue.
#12621
OMG:
Just because you're wearing earphones doesn't mean the entire room can't hear your loud music. Everyone is studying. Why don't you?
#12620

Ah yes, it dawns on you that you are truly a UW student when you don't sleep and decide to take a small nap before studying more around the time that the sun is rising and the sky is slowly getting brighter.

That horrible moment at 3:32 am when you realize you should have slept earlier because now if you sleep, there's a chance of missing the exam next morning.

There's a guy walking around DC in a "Forever Alone" T-shirt... hilarious!
#12613
OMG:
To those people in the nice cubes in DC, do your work and don't just sit around playing Tetris, Starcraft, watching tv, etc. People would kill for the spot you are not using. I say everyone that is looking for a seat there to study peacefully should just stand right beside said person and stare until they leave or get back to work.

#12609
OMG:
After 4 years I am convinced that the reason I don't have (or never have had) a girlfriend who goes to Waterloo is that I am in the Faculty of Math. I mean, I have had 2 girlfriends in this span of time, both from McMaster. I am not socially awkward, I don't live a secret double life in a video game and I don't look like I have lived in the MC for the last few months. On the contrary, I am quite personable, get along really well with women and I am fairly good looking. Math is really great in a lot of ways besides this. I don't have super high standards or anything. But I find even the most averagely good looking girl (in Math) is either crowded by too many dudes or already has a boyfriend.
#12608
OMG:During finals, every one gets so hissy/possessive about their property, kinda like the geese, or maybe we all just start PMSing like bitches (guys included).
e.g.: -My friend's scarf settled on your book. Didn't have to be so anal about it and throw it on the side. -My friend was using your extension because it looked like a public one. Didn't have to give a speech about what you appreciate and what you don't. -DC sucks in general during finals because of the people.
#12607
OMG:
So out of the percent of our grade that has already passed -- not based on our finals, I literally have like 50's in all of my subjects. What have I been doing all term?

Worked my ass off for an exam that was today and it totally killed me. I have another tomorrow and I can't even bring myself to studying for it after that crushing defeat :(
#12605

Lying down, studying on bench with little holes in it, my anklet charm got stuck in a hole. Trying to fix it, I was half on and half off the bench, butt in the air, and head bent to crotch area trying to get a better look at my ankle... awkward?

Hey OMGuwites, it's the new Mods here (Mod G, L, and Y). We want to thank you for your continued support and give you a chance to make comments/ suggestions and ask questions about the site in this post. We'll be paying close attention to the comments over the next few days and will be responding as needed.

Hi new mods! Tell us something interesting about yourselves.
MODS' NOTES:
MOD G: Something interesting, eh? Hmm... I've had hair of every natural colour at some point (and some unnatural colours like purple, green, and pink).
MOD L: I got my ear pierced when I was younger to look like Aaron Carter.
MOD Y: I exist. I can also recite the alphabet backwards in 3 languages.

You are not "forever alone" when you are 20.
#12592
OMG:
I get that it hurts if your crush/love-interest isn't interested back and that being into a friend is tough. But guys, you need to realize it's kind of creepy and underhanded when you start whining about being "friendzoned"... how long were you being sweet and kind to her for the sole sake of getting into her pants or dating her? It's dishonest, and made worse by the fact some of you seem to think she owes you her body and heart now. On top of that, this type of guy seems to think this makes him a nice/good guy compared to the assholes their crush dates, but here you are trying to use friendship / faked human decency as coercion for sex/dating. If she's not into you, that's that.
#12591
OMG:
Studying is so much easier with half off easter chocolates. I'm gonna waddle out of this exam like a CHAMP.

Sitting by a window in DC. Cute guy either keeps looking at me or out the big window I'm at. I will never know since I left the spot because I got so distracted by bikers going by.
#12582
OMG:
Well. It's that time of year again, and the revelation hits me hard: online course, why did I ever EVER pay attention to you instead of ignoring you and just reading the textbook instead? Textbooks seem to know how to teach better than teachers online... why do I bother? Yey, read 4/12 chapters, exam 60% on Saturday, the day of rest. Nothing I would rather do than wake up early, write an early exam worth 60% on a course that isn't easy and is online.... Anyone in the same boat?

I have never called my exam rude so many times in my head than I did today. It just set you up for failure. When I am studying I am not looking at what so and so looks like, I am reading the content. What's on my exam? Tell me who this person is below the pixelated picture.
#12578
OMG:
I just un-friendzoned a guy. Best decision. I've never been treated so well <3 DO IT LADIES (and guys)!

Heavily-weighted final exams make me want to punch a goose. If 60% of your grade is determined in 2.5 hours, something is wrong.

Thank you to the girl in DP that told the chatty guy and girl to be quiet since she had an exam (I was right near them and felt like kicking their legs under the desk). Unfortunately they did not get the message and their constant whispering is driving me crazy.

Does anyone else get annoyed when people post on Facebook or other social networks about how easy an exam was, or am I the only person that feels worse after writing an exam?!

I swear the dons trained that goose to stand guard so no one can use the side door at Wilmot.
#12569
OMG:
I have a serious concern. You know how we're paying thousands of dollars in fees for tuition at Waterloo? How is it that it feels like the profs and tutors aren't there to help? I'm so lost in most of my courses sometimes and its not like I do not try keeping up. I guess I'm just sick of feeling like an idiot and should start getting used to the university setting. You're on your own here.
MOD'S NOTE: Office hours?
#12568
OMG:
Librarians, or some STAFF of UW: Please fix the lights on the cubicles at the library. It's exam time. Students are stressed and extremely busy with studying. We don't want to move from desk to desk trying to find a study space.

#12555
OMG:
I'm not generally a very opinionated person, and I'm not very good at holding my stance in an argument since I'm so open-minded. I'm very easily swayed to the opposing side, and I hate disagreeing with people. After spending so much time on this site, I was finally comfortable enough to post a reasonably opinionated status to my Facebook. When someone tried to argue with me on the subject, I was able to intelligently and eloquently defend my opinion and my personality from disparaging remarks that were thrown my way. More importantly, I publicly held onto what I believed in, and didn't give into someone who was throwing loud, mean words at me. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you to everyone at OMGUW (the mods, bloggers, and non-bloggers) for giving me the life skills to be an insightful, thoughtful debater.
With love,
Kita.

#12551
OMG:
The more I study, the more I realize I am entirely screwed for my exam. I slightly pray for a mini-zombie apocalypse, so I don't have to write my exam Monday. That, or take all my money, move to Africa, and start a new, non-education filled life.

So I was just crossing the Ring Road (near PAS) like usual, and I heard an unusually loud engine sound. Instinctively I ran to a safer spot. I turned around and saw a green car had lost control and drove onto the grass on the other side of the road, then drove off like nothing happened. If I left home a minute later, I might have been hurt! Don't know if the guy was trying to drift, but it was very dangerous! Be safe out there guys.

I go out for lunch after receiving an email from the grad advisor saying I got NSERC along with 24 other people. (NSERC = funding = I can stay here for grad school.) I come back an hour later - it turns out he had the wrong list, and only two PhD applicants got the award. Booooooo.
#12545

If the University doesn't feel guilty giving us exams on Monday, then they should provide us a way to eat while we're on campus over the weekend while studying. Not all of us can afford to go home with our workloads. Damn timmies and the SLC.

MOD'S NOTE: False.

OMG:
Am I the only one who hates whoever came up with the back door design for the GRT buses?
I can't count the number of times I've stood there waving like a lunatic and then gotten yelled at by the driver for "not doing it right"
#12536
OMG: To the guy laughing like a hyena on DP 5th floor, at least pretend to work in a library.
#12535
OMG: MOD'S NOTE: Needs more lasers.
#12534
OMG:What if the UW admin had their lawyers look over the song issues with the lipdub and there weren't any problems. The problem was it was just way too shit, like the Toronto one???
#12533
OMG: My next week's going to be complete hell, with 3 essays and 2 exams. I'm dying on the inside. :(
#12532
OMG: I feel like I need to remind UW students of the great "Imagine" song by John Lennon:
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world
#12531
OMG:Will I ever learn not to put my foot in my mouth?
#12530
OMG: Davis Centre security guard told me to leave the cubicle because I had hot food. I told him it wasn't hot or aromatic. He said "You can't have hot food, it doesn't matter if its cold or not". It was a day-old croissant in a paper bag.
#12529
OMG: So, I started this volunteer job with FedS a few months ago. While doing this job, I met a girl. I was already completely smitten by the time I learned she was seeing someone else. Now I'm in love with a girl I can't have. Why does everyone at this school have to be in a relationship with their high school sweethearts?!
#12528
OMG:I love when I get into a cubicle at DP, turn on the light, and once I set up all my stuff... the light turns off ... whyyyyyyy :(
#12527
OMG: Staring at me awkwardly and then asking what's wrong with me is not the right way to go about asking someone why they're in a wheelchair.
#12526
Friday, April 6
OMG: Good luck to everyone on their finals.
#12525
Thursday, April 5
OMG: To all the sweet and supportive upper-year guys at the engineering boat races: thanks for not making a small frosh girl feel completely stupid at my first races :) I had a lot more fun than anticipated! thanks for being amazing, and hopefully see you all around campus
#12524
OMG:
Getting your car's window smashed open and your backpack with your laptop in it stolen 2 weeks before exams start is not the greatest way to end this term.
MOD'S NOTE: That sucks. All the best from now on, OP.
#12523
OMG:
So many people in DP are stepping into the stairwell to take phone calls. Clearly they don't realize the sound of their insipid conversation is just being amplified for all to hear, maybe louder than if they had just started talking on the phone at their desk.
#12522
OMG:
I just wrote the ELPE but I forgot to title it and I didn't have time to proof read it.
#12521
OMG:
I have a very hard time believing, with the term wrapping up and all, that there are no Missed Connections to be posted.
MOD'S NOTE: and voila.
#12520
OMG:
Some TA's just hate compromising or admitting that they're wrong and it drives me crazy!
#12519
OMG:
Has anyone ever actually won one of the free iPads promised by the school/feds surveys we all fill out?
#12518
MOD'S NOTE: D2L downtime submissions!
OMG: 3 days to exams and D2L wants to play games with students. We are going to shut down the site for maintenance, now what fuckers!
OMG: D2L IS DOWN AND IM FREAKING OUT!
OMG: Desire to learn desires me to fail my exam.
OMG: D2L, I haven't had any troubles with you this entire term, why must you go down NOW when I'm trying to study for finals?
#12517
OMG:
Have you guys seen this? Any idea wtf it's all about?
#12516
OMG:
That awkward moment when you check Jobmine more often than your Facebook.
#12515
OMG:
Saw a goose almost get hit by a vehicle because it was chasing another goose out of the territory, right into the middle of Ring Road. Luckily, the driver stopped in time.
Be alert, those geese will stop at nothing!
#12514
OMG:
There are days when I wish it would be okay for me to go and put my head on a friend's lap while I lie down. It would be nice for someone to give me a tight hug and hold on to me. That's all I really want when I feel lonely in Waterloo. I just can't go to my roommates and do this stuff :(.
~ From a guy who wants someone to comfort him.
#12513
OMG:
To the poor guy on the iexpress at 10:17 on Wednesday, you are clearly in the friend zone. I hope you didn't buy her too many drinks that night.
#12512
OMG:
If you think the anxiety before exams is bad, you haven't experienced the first few days right after you're done. I hate having nothing to do!
#12511
OMG:
Oh you hate receiving emails from the University asking for your opinion? 1. They are valuing your opinion which is awesome. 2. It takes seconds to delete it. 3. Free iPad. Stop complaining please
#12510
OMG:
Seriously, you're all adults. Get over what people are wearing.
#12509
OMG:
I know a great place to sit and chat! The DC basement is so nice during exam time. I don't always come here to study, but when I do I don't shut the fuck up.
#12508
Wednesday, April 4
OMG:
When driving, if you can't safely clear the intersection, do not enter it.
Driver's ed 101
#12507
OMG:
My motivation to study has already hit rock bottom.
#12506
OMG:
That awkward moment when you think you got a job and start an acceptance letter, then receive an email about 'not hiring you yet, let's check your background'
#12505
OMG:
Since it's getting warmer out - guys on campus, STOP wearing long socks with shorts. It looks gross. Invest in ankle socks or no-show socks.
#12504
OMG:
They need to fix the 10th floor mens washroom stall doors. Opening/closing one causes the other to fly open... lol
MOD'S NOTE: Can someone .gif this and post it here?
#12503
OMG:
Not hating on RL, but so many comment threads become centred around him. Its getting tiresome. I don't know if I am the only one that finds this a nuisance
#12502
OMG:
Co-ops, check this out!
#12501
OMG:
I find it absolutely ridiculous that the president-elect of our student society feels it is okay to endorse a campaign of someone running in a club election.
#12500
OMG:
Gooodluck everyone for their exams. All UW students are smart an have the capability of passing all their courses. God Bless everyone :)
#12499
OMG:
Why are librarians so bitchy about call numbers. The textbook name, author, and course should be more than sufficient.
#12498
OMG:
To the Asian couple in the basement of DC. Get a room, this place is for studying, I don't want to see you fondling each other. Please share her if you are going to do this
#12497
OMG:
I was dozing in and out of consciousness while staring out the window from my study carrel in DP and had the weirdest dream. The smokestacks on the Nano building were an army of penises and they were valiantly battling against the gigantic penis smokestack on the building next to M3. Needless to say, it didn't end well for them.
#12496
OMG:
I lost my phone on the bus last night, Monday, April 2. If anyone found it please please give it in to turnkey or grt. Thank you so much in advance!
#12495
OMG:
Dr. Richard Ennis' Doppleganger?
#12494
OMG:
It's good to know the geese are just as crazy at UTSC.
#12493
OMG:
If you are distracted or annoyed by sounds when studying such as talking, coughing, sniffing, etc. check out white noise maker!
It has changed my life :D
#12493
OMG:
I want to teach overseas, all I learned from 4 years of AFM.
#12492
OMG:
First year Math student. Term is over & exams are going to be over soon. Still unemployed. :( So stressed...
#12491
Tuesday, April 3
OMG:
FEDS has threatened to dissolve MathSoc if MathSoc does not sign the Societies Agreement as is. MathSoc has passed the agreement with amendments. Read more here.
#12490
OMG:
To people who have a persistent cough: stay home from the library. If you can't stop coughing then don't go somewhere that is completely silent, because it is very irritating to everyone trying to work.
Plus it's much easier to ask someone to stop talking as opposed to stop performing bodily functions, so I don't know how to ask you to be quiet.
#12489
OMG:
Fighting with your roommate is the worst, especially when it can't be solved with just doing the dishes.
#12488
OMG:
Does anyone know what's going in that new building behind health services? At first I thought oh I'll just figure it out when I get back in September...then I remembered how long construction takes on this campus.
#12487
OMG:
The lack of respect for certain faculties is extremely disappointing. Each faculty has it's challenges but you wouldn't know what those were unless you were IN said faculty. The faculty of arts for example; we'll send out psychologists to give your shitty future kids therapy because mommy/daddy work too much or are self centered douche bags. We send out lawyers to help you when said kid resorts to deviance to get your attention, we send out teachers to educate your children to get them to where you currently are, etc.. and every other faculty has it's strengths as well. Just because people choose arts courses as electives doesn't necessarily make it easier, they're just more interesting than a lot of other courses, don't be jealous that we're doing what we want with life and you're doing what your parents want.
tl;dr stfu about how much better your faculty is than everyone elses
#12486
OMG:
inb4. As a math student, I support MathSoc whatever they do or say. Bandwagon FTW.
#12485
OMG:
I guess you could say UWSP's earth hour event was somewhat of a success, but UWSP is extremely unorganized, the activities were just a jumble of things with all the directors and volunteers running around frantically, confused about what to do.
#12484
OMG:
DC library windows turn into mirrors at night! Soooooo distracting -_-
#12483
OMG:
People playing basketball at REV basketball courts @ 3am, WTF how can you even see the ball?
I feel sorry for the people who live across the court and have to hear the sounds
#12482
OMG:
Time to gear up, it's almost exam time. Or as Arts students call it, Frisbee and Early Vacation Time.
#12481
OMG:
Co-op reminds me of school :(
Waking up early. Just sitting around doing nothing.
Longing to go home.
Keep checking the time for 4pm.
Delight when you get done with the day!
#12480
OMG:
I posted not too long ago about how I thought I held the record for the most unranked interviews... well I finally did get a job offer! I learned from every single interview I had messed up on in the past and I prepared extra hard and I got a job that I am very proud of. If I can do it, so can all of you. Don't ever give up!
#12479
OMG:
This is great.
MOD'S NOTE: Repost, but its just so amazing!

OMG:
Guys at the gym, please workout your legs. Buff upper bodies with skinny legs looks really weird and unattractive
#12477
OMG:
I'm a computer science student and I feel like I'm not qualified to get any job.
#12476
OMG:
I couldn't find my headphones. Had to watch porn on mute. Living with roommates sucks sometimes
#12475
OMG:
This is so much fun!
#12474
OMG:
Thank you to all the people who have been opening doors for me around the campus lately.
It's great to know that the campus community is indeed getting better.
Keep it up, UW!
#12473
OMG: I wonder if anyone fell for the lipdub April fools post.
MOD'S NOTE: Heh...
#12472
OMG:
Than =/= then, there=/=their=/=they're, papers=/=Internetz
Sincerely,
TA
#12471
OMG:
I went to waterloo to write the AFMAA. Hopefully I've performed well enough and will be able to write on here as an attending student this coming fall, not a creeping high schooler.
#12470
OMG:
Noticed some duck couples on campus. Oh, if only our campus was filled with ducks instead of geese. By the looks of it though the geese are bullying the ducks to try and scare em off.
#12469
OMG:
Yaaaaay lectures are finished on TODAY!
Oh yeah and the exams are next. NBD.
#12468
OMG:
Never have I in my life had a desire so strong, as to want to pack up my things, grab my car, and leave everything.
#12467
OMG:
Arts Grad Ball was shit. But thanks for organizing it ASU, better than nothing.
