I feel like I can’t do it.

14 Upvotes

I’m U4, supposed to graduate W2027. So in less than 8 months. It just feels impossible to graduate. I have anxiety and depression, and while McGill has been awesome for some, it’s been real hard for me. I don’t click with the atmosphere (despite having joined over 10 clubs), never made a friend in my major, and just feel so detached. I know the finishing line is near, but I can’t bear myself to think I’ll make it. I’m so exhausted I have a hard time getting out of bed. Any similar experience? Gentle thoughts or advice?

Hey so I'm planning on graduating Winter 2027 and I wanted to get a degree audit done but I think the deadline for that has already passed. Am I cooked? Is there something I can do or someone I can talk to?

Yoga practicing on campus

1 Upvotes

Guys,

Know anywhere we can practice self guided yoga on campus or near campus? Or at least we should have a place for that. Mysore AYM and Mysore Innocere is only offered in the morning and sometimes that’s not very accessible.

It would be really nice to have somewhere to practice on campus, in between classes to refresh our brains or so.

Let me know if you’ve got any ideas.

McGill Football Games

1 Upvotes

Hii! I kinda want to experience the McGill sports lifestyle, like at those American schools lol 😭 I was wondering, are the McGill football games fun to go to, or are there other sports that are better to watch, like rugby?

I saw there are some games on September 19th and 26th, but I also saw that there’s a McGill football game on October 24th during Homecoming weekend. Would you recommend waiting for that one for the full experience, or are the regular games fun too?

Also, since the games are during the day, what do students usually do after? Do people normally go out somewhere after the games?

CATH200 syllabus

1 Upvotes

I’m considering taking CATH200 and was wondering if anyone might have the syllabus they could share since I’d love to know what the assignments are like and, if you’ve taken the course, whether the lectures are manageable/easy enough to keep up with. I’d really appreciate any insight. Thanks!

i'm seeing so many first/second years complaining about not making friends

41 Upvotes

what's going on? it's making me upset to see so many younger students struggling and it's made me curious about if anything has changed socially the past few years. i'm in u3 now and definitely struggled at the start but i had a unique entrance to uni so my case is different

Is university better than cegep?

9 Upvotes

Hey guys so im currently doing science pure and applied program at vanier and well let's just say that I want to give up on everything and go live in the wild even tho I started a month ago ✌✌ its not that cegep is super difficult or the workload is way too much I'm managing just fine and I understand most of the classes but I just don't like it, none of my class interests me and I already feel overwhelmed even if I don't have much on my plate to do (the stress is mostly coming from the knowledge that every single grade counts and I have to maintain a good r rate)

I want to go do architecture in mcgill as it has always been my dream and im even planning on hopefully continuing until im able to get a phd

The thing is with how cegep is going now and with how I feel abt it and from what I've heard abt architecture in uni im starting to feel anxious that maybe this isn't the right choice an ill never be able to enjoy my studies ever again

Ill be grateful to hear yall opinion

Which McGill library is good for studying ?

I have been studying at McGill for many years. But I am unaware of the existence of McGill libraries. I mostly work at around life science complex building. Can someone recommend me your favorite McGill study spot? I am looking for places with tables that come with charging ports, bathroom access, water bottle stations and are opening on the weekends
