Horoscopes

O-Week Horoscopes

Disclaimer: These are just for fun! We warmly welcome all first years to all engineering programs!

Architectural: While you’re admiring all the beautiful buildings on campus (read with sarcasm), make sure to look down at the ground every once in a while. The last thing you want to do during your orientation week is scrub goose poop off your shoes because you were too busy admiring RCH to notice what you were about to step in. Your lucky GRT route: 28 Franklin North

Biomedical: Couldn’t decide if you wanted to be an engineer or a doctor? No problem! Your indecisiveness is welcomed this week as you begin your journey in BME, although it may not be welcomed by your new roommate if you keep redecorating. Your lucky GRT route: 35 Greenbrook

Chemical: As classes start, it may quickly dawn on you that your engineering discipline of choice doesn’t actually involve doing as much pure chemistry as you may have thought…or much at all. But never fear, there will be plenty of thermodynamics later on! Your lucky GRT route: 1 Queen-River

Civil: In an effort to immerse yourself in your discipline, you may feel like venturing out on the ION this week. Although the schedule might say that the next train will arrive in ten minutes, beware that you could end up waiting on the platform for an hour due to an unexpected service disruption that begins the second you show up. Your lucky GRT route: 34 Bingemans

Computer/Electrical: You might be feeling a bit overwhelmed as you adjust to your new university routine, but it’s important to always remember the basics. No matter how many hours of lectures and homework you have, make sure you aren’t neglecting your personal hygiene. Your lucky GRT route: 23 Idlewood

Environmental/Geological: There’s a giant sodium block in the Earth Sciences Museum in EIT. Rumour has it that they have the ENVE/GEO frosh lick it as some sort of initiation ritual…so maybe watch your salt intake this week. Your lucky GRT route: 77 Wilmot

Management: If you’re already being ridiculed for your choice of engineering discipline, you can take this opportunity to find some hiding places on campus. Of course, we won’t be sharing ours, but there’s one not-so-secret spot that starts with a P and rhymes with “shmoets” that many engineers like to frequent. Your lucky GRT route: 27 Morrison

Mechanical/Mechatronics: Be wary of how stable your Internet connection is this week, especially if you decide to install SolidWorks onto your laptop in preparation for your classes. One wrong click could have you waiting days. Your lucky GRT route: 202 iXpress University

Nanotechnology: Get ready to explain what your program is for the next five years…and possibly longer. Your lucky GRT route: 30 Ring Road

Software: To be part of the Faculty of Engineering, or to be part of the Faculty of Mathematics? That is the question (Editor’s Note: you’re technically part of both). So, what will it be: a pink tie or a purple hard hat? Your lucky GRT route: 203 iXpress Maple Grove

Systems Design: This week marks the beginning of your five-year long quest to determine the answer to this all-encompassing question…what type of systems would you like to design? Your lucky GRT route: 22 Laurentian West
