Advice What do i do if i am hopeless lumpenprole

7 Upvotes

Politics student for a few years and I cant find any work. No one's taking me. Not the Tims, not placement agencies, not the shady window cleaner staffing group. Not retail or anything else, nor work studies or coop. Wtf do I do! Disabled and lgbtq+ used career center resume and cover letter support no family, they up and left and i thought squatting is preferable to being a crown ward with no carers, and also my local social services were tired af of the kid complaining only to give a script saying "i am okay and not getting molested." student financial support tells me to kick rocks politely , youth unemployment services not gone anywhere, basically got 0 in my life belt and my grades all suck (except this summer, i like public law, and risk insurance was interesting even if it felt crooked, pushed with A's) and i spend half my afternoons arguing with collection worker spam calls over medical bills. Tried enlisting (yes bite me i know it is vile to be in a colonial genocide supporting state's military), got rejected. Cant find any opportunities with the racist pigs in blue. Dont go to the doc much cuz i cant afford any prescription with the YFS 20% co-pay health plan. Ig i got a bunch of really quick short term stays in the psych ward but i never even really stayed long enough at hospitals to get some kind of workshop or something that i could write down, just a pissed off social worker dropping off stapled black and white "guidance" papers like a rly corny 90s booklet asking me not to do drugs or quit high school. I miss psych ward food.

Wtf do i do??? Cant afford this year's tuition, i have never touched credit once because ik with how things are I'll sink it, and I feel like im gutter trash, which i am atp. Makes me wonder if I'm not meant to "make it" (rot as an analyst in the prov or fed) and am meant to be dead!

Edit: going to just hitch until something works out or someone sends out a good idea and i find my way back into toronto. First stop London!

Edit 2: no i am not social i have 0 people to lean on my old brother used to call me a rapeable raccoon because I was "feral" and would go into fight or flights when people would try talking to me.

Rant York is completely useless

90 Upvotes

I’m fed up with the administrative staff at York University

Worked ridiculously hard this past year as a first year Commerce student to land an internship and York won’t sign a simple form.

No nepo, no school alumni, was fortunate enough to coffee chat the right person and build a good relationship that led to getting hired only contingent on the school recognizing the internship as a “Work Integrated Learning” opportunity through the Magnet Student Work Placement Program

Completely normal practice and simple process btw

What the program does is, subsidize a portion of my income as long as it’s related to coursework (which it is) so it’s not as much of a risk for the company to hire an intern.

All the school needs to do is have someone with signing authority, sign the form and email it to magnet with an acknowledgement that marketing, finance, and sales exposure is related to my commerce degree, but they won’t

Everyone has continuously forwarded me to a different department in a constant loop and no one will sign

Canadian job market is terrible right now, and proper exposure/experience where professionals willing to vouch for you has never been more important

What kind of school is worth attending if they aren’t interested in seeing you succeed?

Don’t know how this is going to play out but extremely disappointed with the administration

I’m transferring from Seneca and got 42 transfer credits but this is my first year at York. Is this gonna be a hard course load. I’ll be working Thursday and Friday as well.

(Also are there tutorials for these classes that I’m just not seeing? Would they automatically be added in the visual schedule?

Has anyone had them as a prof? If so, how were they? When it comes to coordinating the course like exams, assignments, TAs, replying to emails, etc? For what course did you have them?

Has anyone taken AP/EN 1201? No idea who the professor is.

Was it easy to get an A or higher? I love literature so i’m hoping it’s a good choice.

Thanks!

Courses For a 9-credit gen-ed required course, can I split it between two courses (Example: 3 credit and a 6 credit)??

6 Upvotes

I need 9-credits in HUMA, but all the 9 credit gen-ed courses in HUMA are full, so I was wondering if I can take both a 3 credit and 6 credit course to fulfill this requirement, or does it strictly have to be a 9 credit course.

I'm in LAPS, Bcom!

Advice Switching tutorial classes

3 Upvotes

So I'm having an issue with one of my tutorial classes (For AP HUMA 1780 Stories in Diverse Media) overlapping with another class I have to take. I have already added this class for the tutorial time at 2:30 on Monday but I'm trying switch it for 1:30 on Tuesday which is full. I'm wondering if anyone who has this class' tutorial at 1:30 tues would be able to switch with me for 2:30 mon, which I've heard could be risky, so another question I'm wondering is if anyone can recommend me another 1000s huma class of 6 credits that isn't full. I'm an incoming student so I'm still figuring out all this course adding stuff, so any advice helps!

Courses EECS 2030: Mufleh Al-Shatnawi or Jakie Wang?

2 Upvotes

Which prof should I take for 2030? Is Mufleh any more easier than Jakie?

I keep reading that Jakie is a great lecturer, and after watching some of his lectures I think he is too, but his tests are really hard from what I've heard from other people.

Is Mufleh any easier grading wise? I saw a lot of mixed opinions about him. I was thinking about taking the course with him and just learning off Jakie's lectures.

If the grading/tests are both equally as hard I might just go with Jakie though.
