What's your physics background? Do you like physics? What programs do you want to apply for second year? What profession are you thinking about going into?
i am okayish at physics got 89% in grade 12 and idk about second year...med school is the final frontier!

If you want to do apply to med school then you'll want to take both 1B03 and 1BB3. Together with your grade 12 physics knowledge covers everything that the MCAT covers in the physics section.
You should do fine in first year physics provided you had a good teacher and he followed the curriculum.

my friend also going to mac in life sci...took physics but dropped it later so what should she take now?
You technically don't NEED to take both physics if you don't mind learning all the material on your own time. Some people self learn the physics part for the MCAT, it's really a choice you should make since you know your own abilities.
If she doesn't want to self learn then she'll have to take L03, B03 and BB3.

And so true about waking up, Ill tell myself 5 minutes, even change the alarm and end up waking up a good half an hour to hour later
Once, I set my alarm at 7:15am for my 8:30 class even though I didn't have to get out of bed til 7:30. So, I woke up at 7:15, fell back asleep, and woke up at 8:30...and then went back to sleep again and didn't even TRY to go to class. So now, I set my alarm at the very last possible time I can get out of bed, turn it REALLY loud and put it across my room...It gives me a jolt of adrenaline, which is usually enough to at least get me out of bed

Heyy Guys I am going to live off-campus for first year and I don't know which meal plan is good for me...
also I can't cook so can you tell me which one is a better choice FREEDOM or TERM plan?
Freedom Plan
The Freedom Plan allows you to determine the size of your account. It can be set up with an initial deposit of $100 or more, so you can spend as much or as little as you want. You decide how much of a deposit you want to make and when you want to add more money. This plan also gives you a 5% discount on most food purchases at our dining locations on-campus. It can also be used to dine at or order delivery from the participating local off-campus restaurants. The Freedom Plan is virtually risk-free. It is fully refundable, very flexible, and can be increased at any time.
Term Plan
Our Term Plan is designed to save you money and stretch over a designated period of time. It is a non-taxable meal plan saving you up to 13% of sales taxes, and can be purchased at a minimum rate of $220 for a period of four consecutive weeks. You may add more weeks at the rate of $55 per week at the time of initial purchase, or prior to the expiry date of your Term Plan. This plan is designed for your personal use only and it allows you to buy only food items at the Hospitality Services locations on campus.
As the Term Plan is a non-taxable plan, under government tax regulations, it is also considered non-refundable and non-transferable (except upon complete withdrawal from the University, subject to a minimum charge of four weeks). All monies must be used by the end of the purchased term. We encourage you to monitor your purchases, as any unspent monies at the end of the purchased term will be lost.

Just go with the Freedom plan, you can add more when you are starting to run low.
For the term plan, you need to get 55$ a week, which is basically eating on campus Monday-Friday. You can't even use it to purchase food from off-campus places that accept the meal card.
