PSA: You might be lonely because you treat human relationships like objects

90 Upvotes

Idk why this mindset is so common in our generation, but I see people at UBC stressing so much about "making friends" or "getting in a friend group" or "getting a date" that they forget what relationships are supposed to be.

Whether it's friendly, professional, or romantic, human relationships are not a one-and-done thing that you "obtain" and suddenly become happy. They require effort to develop and they fade when one or both people stop trying. If you're not taking a genuine interest in people (in a non-invasive way), not taking the time to make plans, not reciprocating, and generally not being the kind of person you want in your own life, it's not going to work out. Relationships should be a healthy addition to your life, not a cure for your problems.

Also: hygiene. Stop calling yourself "chopped" and wallowing in self-disrespect. Take a shower, groom yourself, and start working on your health.

Does anyone have a notetaker?

7 Upvotes

Are note takers even a thing this year? If so, how did you get one? I’m registered with CFA but unsure if I would qualify with my mental health disorder. Does it have to be something more intense?

Side note: I have the Genio accommodation but it’s so useless for Science courses, would explaining why help my case?

Discussion Who is more dangerous, the chemist who is in research or the chemical engineer..?

0 Upvotes

Depends on what the researching chemist does and what the chemical engineer does -- both areas of work which I have no clue about.
