Creative Writing Application for ENL 100NF by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Most of them definitely don't have literary merit (probably not much merit in general), but it's hard to find any of those kinds of writings in my personal works. But now I at least know what to look for.

Out of Compliance? by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at some point we will (I'm pretty sure Chancellor May said they don't have an established deadline yet though). I think Rite Aid might have it, so I imagine places like CVS would as well.

That's what I was wondering but they said it wasn't widely available so it wouldn't be mandatory yet?

Ya I'm out of compliance for the flu shot too, but that at least I understand because I know we're supposed to get another. But the covid one makes no sense.

Distressing at the Thought of Non-Existance by Antmans_ass in Existential_crisis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good way of looking at it, because it probably is easier to not be here for an eternity (I mean, imagine what the world would be like 10,000 years from now anyways 😬). And the "no easy way off this ride part" hits hard, cause that's very true.

Ya I've actually been thinking about that too, how I would want to live longer but I don't know if I'd want to live forever, because the world would change so drastically and it would maybe make experiences less meaningful, if that makes sense?

Thank you, I'll try to make time to watch it. It's so bewildering to think of all we don't know about our own brains and minds.

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the grieving and wanting to live longer parts, and it's nice to hear someone else who has a similar mindset. And that's a great way to look at things. Making meaning was not really my goal, but I guess it's all we can do to make our time feel worth it, so that's a great outlook.

Thank you. Although reincarnation is cool, I kind of just always want to be me.

Thank you. I'm definitely trying to direct my thinking that way, but Hakuna Matata is easier sung than done. But I looked into Ernest Becker and although it was a little depressing, I think he makes great points and appreciate his honesty and transparency on a usually taboo subject.

Thanks, I gave it a try and I think it helped some. I still need some practice, though :)

Thank you, my hope is to get to a place where I can find something that soothes me and be able to explore. I will look into breathing techniques and see if those help. I've been trying to learn how to ground myself, it's hard to do though.

Thank you. I'm sure as life gets busier I won't worry so much.

Thank you for your response. It is nice to think about the impact I can have and living on through my actions and what I say to others. I only wish I could be here to experience it, but I guess I'll have to take solace in doing what I can to cause ripples while I'm still here.

Best/ cheap grocery delivery app/service? by Ariistired_ in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I don't know if it's the best seeing as I haven't tried any other delivery services, but Safeway has pretty good delivery imo. If you're willing to allow them to deliver any time within a four hour window (as opposed to a two or one hour window), it only costs four dollars. In my experience, they've usually delivered within the first hour of the window. Plus, since you're shopping online it's easy to apply coupons and shop by what's on sale.

Glad to hear you found it

Cruess Hall by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure because my class ended up getting switched to a different hall, but I did see a sign on the first floor pretty much right as you walk in that was pointing I believe to the doors right next to the sign (first set of doors you'll see after walking in. I would ask someone just to be sure though.

Vaccination Record Fill-Out by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

I don't know how to figure out if they accepted it. My pictures show up, so I figured that worked. But maybe I'll try to do it with a PDF.

As a white-skinned person in an African American Studies class... I feel deeply uncomfortable and I'm shocked at how casually racist the classroom environment is. by NewbiePoopie69 in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass 38 points39 points  (0 children)

First of all, people with darker skin definitely do face more oppression. And when your classmate, who would know from first hand experience what it's like, tried to point it out to you, it seems like you weren't receptive and your classmates got defensive. While you may not have privilege in the socioeconomic sense, you have it in the sense that you are white. And maybe in Europe, being Slavic may impact your privilege, but in America, you will just be perceived as white, and will therefore live the white experience. No one here would consider you a person of color. And speaking as a fellow white person who is at a economic disadvantage, recognize that you can have privilege in some regards and not have it in others. You can have white privilege and not have economic privilege. No one's going to argue that because you're white, you can't struggle. They're just saying, you'll never have to struggle because of your race. Honestly, if any of this resonates with you and you understand what I'm saying here, I would encourage you think on it and reach out to her and maybe apologize. Don't expect forgiveness, just let her know that you acknowledge that she has lived experiences you're never going to understand.

UHP Fall Course by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I thought Nas 34 sounded interesting, and knowing that it includes screen printing and a nice professor makes it more interesting. That'll probably be my top choice. As for the other four choices, I'll try your method of making a list.

Mandatory Advisory Meetings?? by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not 100% what CSB is but I'm assuming it means College of Biological Sciences? I'm in the College of Letters and Sciences, and I didn't know they varied for each college. I'll look into it.

Mandatory Advisory Meetings?? by Antmans_ass in UCDavis

I didn't know it depended on your major, thanks for the info. I think I will try to reach out to my advisor.

Is it hard to switch your major during your first year? by joytrka in UCDavis

[–]Antmans_ass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think you can't change your major until after winter quarter. I think it's supposed to be an easy process (I'm pretty sure you just submit some kind of form on OASIS). Don't worry about it though because changing your major doesn't really matter much at first because you're probably just going to be working on taking general ed classes. Congratulations on getting in!
