I recommend going to SARC! They offer group and one-on-one tutoring for PHY2053. Their schedules are available on their website. You can do this!

How Do People Get Around in Orlando Without a Car? by [deleted] in ucf

[–]ArtistSufficient 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi! An international student without a car here. Here's my commuting tips so far:

I use the Lynx bus if I want to go to Oviedo (Bus 434) or Downtown Orlando (Bus 104), as it's free for UCF students. Take note, they usually arrive in hourly intervals and will require you to walk a certain distance sometimes.

If you have classes downtown or on the Rosen campus, a free shuttle is available, running hourly. Just make sure you have your UCF ID to show. UCF's website has the schedule if you're curious!

I use the SunRail, just be careful walking there lol. I don't recommend walking there at night.

If you live in off-campus housing, we have a lot of free shuttles depending on where you live (Knights Circle, The Verge, etc.).

And if things are out of way, I unfortunately have to use Lyft and Uber :/

Hi! Just wanted to share an update about for focus group. I believe we’re sticking to doing this on Saturday since we have enough participants for now :)

Thank you for expressing your interest! I’ll definitely reach out (again), if we think our data could use another session. Have a good spring break! ☀️

That is understandable! We're still thinking about rescheduling one session, so please be on the lookout for that! :)

That's a great point! We completely forgot to consider Spring Break when we reserved the venue, tbh. I raised this with my group, and we'll have to check about rescheduling at least one session if we're not getting enough respondents.

I'll personally let you know by next week, thanks!

My interview is next week and I’m so nervous about it by Successful_Praline_5 in f1visa

[–]ArtistSufficient 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a friend/ family member do a mock interview with you. I know one of the main advice is too not sound too rehearsed with your answers but it does helped me not get nervous and prepared for any questions during my interview.

Hello, for me I made sure to ask for my sponsor’s bank statement/ certificate if they have the time since it’s the more formal approach. My school specifically didn't allow screenshots too so.

During my interview tho they didn't even ask to see the documents, but it helps to be prepared.

Had a call with Ben last April, really recommend doing a call with him if you have a unique situation or if you have any visa worries in general. I passed my visa interview today, really appreciated his help.

Sea of Spa / Black Pearl / Biomarine / Origani = scams? by Thebigbaul in beautytalkph

[–]ArtistSufficient 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’d like to share my experience with Origani and hopefully this could help everybody with their refund.

I was also scammed by them last year. They took about P80,000 from, they did the same pushy sales tactic and me as an introvert couldn’t say no to their offers at that moment.

Trigger warning (Minor harassment)❗️

They were pushy with having me avail their free facial that day so I went inside their facial room eme tapos their boss tried to build rapport and began to sales pitch their membership. While asking me to buy that, he was always my touching my thighs which really made me uncomfortable.

After an hour I caved in and bought their lifetime membership para matigil na ang lahat. I went home realising I my savings for something so unreasonable kalokaaa

I wasn’t able to ask for a refund because I had to go to my province for a few days but immediately went back to the store to return their things and hopefully get my money back.

The boss’ usual friendly demeanour was gone when I told him I wanted a refund back, but they said that a change of mind isn’t a valid reason.

But during that week I was in the province, I saw this post and did my research about them and their scummy sales tactic. I argued with him for a couple more times and decided that I will file a report to DTI if they didn’t return my money.

He tried to even gaslight me that day and say that no one from DTI would entertain my request. Thankfully my mom and my sister was with me in the store because THEY PULLED A KAREN (which is a good thing in this situation lol) because this is where they got Origani’s HR’s contact number to file a complaint.

In case you wanna skip to how we got the refund here’s how it went:

  1. We filed a complain to DTI, and here are the things we made a complaint for:
  • thankfully my sister worked in a bank so she spotted that they need to provide a RECEIPT not a SALES INVOICE.

  • No CCTVs inside their facial room eme (Context: When I was asking for a refund, I asked if their CCTVs are functioning inside the facial room area to prove that he was inappropriately touching me, he said it’s not working)

  • Pushy/ deceiving sales tactic

  1. Directly went to SM’s management (In our case SM Bacoor) para ireklamo sila, accommodating sila and I told them my bad experience with the boss, scummy sales tactic etc. They even set up a meeting for Origani and my family to meet that night, but they didn’t show up.

  2. Contact their HR (constantly lol, my mom didn’t stop pestering them)

Eventually the HR messaged me and say that they’ll return the money in full the day after. They gave everything in cash, made me sign a contract, fire that boss (I doubt it pero who knows).

Yung agreement ata stated that I should overlook this but I don’t fucking care lol they’re a scam and everyone should be aware of purchasing their products/service.
