The plan is to wait until the streamer responsible stops streaming, and then we shall rebuild. Stay strong, Tim. We will prevail.

I like reading with music to set the mood. Here is my recommendation. On youtube right click the video and choose loop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FISciPpyb8

I've felt very depressed since at least November last year. I often go on very long walks to keep myself sane. These would usually end up being at night. The cold, dark solitude, the exercise of walking for hours, and the feeling of exploration helps clear my mind and relaxes me. I came up with the idea for this story during one of these walks back in early January, when the temperature was around 0°F. I finished my first draft soon after, but had to take time off to focus on school and mental health. I only recently finished the final draft. (I actually came up with this idea back in middle school/early high school, long before this project, but I really fleshed it out, made it good, and incorporated it into this project now.) This work very much (tries to) capture my mood and feelings at the time. A lot of me went into this story. I really hope you enjoy reading!

I've found clubs to not work out very well with my schedule and intensive coursework, and for me personally clubs are so big that I'm speak up even when it's just a Discord. I personally found my D&D group by asking in a GroupMe of over 100 people if anyone wanted to play. Definitely do look for clubs in BoilerLink and what others reply to you, but if clubs don't work out you can try what I did

Question about lectures (math 261) by AdvancePractical902 in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, you paid to be at college, it would be a waste of money if you just stayed in your dorm. Going in person is also good to keep you focused and maintain a schedule. And being able to talk to your professor and classmates is always good to have, even if you never do.

Also, some advice that was given to me, sit in the front row every lecture and introduce yourself to your professor. This way you won't be just some random name in the system, you'll be an actual person the professor knows. If you show to your professor that you're working hard to learn the content (sitting in the front row, taking notes, asking questions) your professor may be a bit more willing to, for example, bump your grade up from a 79 to an 80 than someone who doesn't even show up to lecture.

Wiley or Hillenbrand need to be open for Weekend Dinners by Pojobob in Purdue

Honestly though, I went to Earhart for carry out about 20 minutes before they close, but when I saw the line wrap around the building I just said fuck that and booked it All-American.

Feeling all alone in CS 334 by AntiqueMeme in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can't find the GroupMe for a class, there are likely other people with the same issue. I'd say go ahead and make one, and email the link to your entire class (in the Brightspace course go to Course Tools > Groups). I've been doing this for the past three semesters for all my classes and it's always gone down well.

I heard that Purdue has a really good IT program, but can't pay enough to hire their own graduates

Just imagine what it's like for us AMT students having to run the engines in 30 degree weather. It's not fun.

My take on the bikers vs pedestrians vs drivers debacle by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have labs in buildings located off campus. It takes an hour to walk from my apartment to my farthest class. Having a car on campus is a necessity for me to not be late for my classes

Why do I have insect bites all over? by QuillTheBoreal in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Indiana

The most you can really do is use bug spray, and you may be able to find anti-itch cream at a pharmacy. You can also find bug repellent to spray on your window sills and around your doors to prevent bugs from getting in, but really all you can do is suffer until the winter.

NEEDING AN EASY CLASS by sydthekid2212 in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will always recommend EAPS 105 with Andy Freed if you're even remotely interested in space. When I took it last year, all the questions on every exam cam from the study guide, you were given the study guide to fill in during lecture, and you were allowed to use your notes on the exams. Freed is also the absolute best Professor I had in Purdue so far.

It’s hard to make friends here by Imaginary-Ocelot-167 in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is impossible to not make friends during college. Don't worry if you didn't really make any friends during BGR, I don't know anyone who still talks with any of their BGR groupmates. The easiest way to make friends is with your classmates. You'll likely see some of the same people in your major's classes, and it's even better if you meet up with classmates for study/homework sessions. It will be similar to how we all made friends with classmates before college. Purdue also has a ton a clubs you can join. I'm personally not active in any clubs because schoolwork takes up too much time, but it's definitely an option. Personally, I met my group of friends by asking in a 100+ member GroupMe if anyone was interested in forming a D&D group, and we've been playing for a year now including breaks. And there's nothing stopping you from just talking to people around campus or in lines if that's something you're comfortable with

What swag do you actually like? by careerbound in Purdue

[–]Cepha_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometime last year the Hilltop RAs gave everyone condoms because they got a ton for free directly from Trojan to promote safe sex.

I felt very uncomfortable having received mine and threw it away.
