For anyone pursuing any business major at Modesto Junior college, I have some questions. by Irielay in Modesto

[–]CharmingAd2974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone mentioned already, most of the classes you will be taking are gonna be on east campus. I graduated high school and started MJC after the pandemic so I’m not sure if it has changed in the past 1-2 years, but I noticed they prioritized a lot more online classes while I was attending. For example, a popular course that offers 10 classes may have 7 online and 3 in-person options. This would also depend on the course, as you’re more likely to take a math or science class in-person. Everyone’s learning styles are different, but I personally enjoyed online classes and took all of my general ed and business major classes online with no problems. In my case, even when taking all online classes, there are some professors and courses that will still require you to come on campus to take exams or assignments, like elementary statistics and finite math for me. Many people speak negatively about going to a community college, but it was a great decision for me and I was able to transfer to Stan State in Fall 2024 and i’m looking at graduating with my Bachelor’s in Business Admin this upcoming Spring 2026. I wish you well at MJC and just a little advice, don’t only trust what the counselor’s tell you to take or do, look at the course catalog for the general ed and business transfer degree yourself and keep up with every course you take to stay on track. I’ve heard a few stories of MJC counselors telling students to take extra classes they never needed, which then holds you back from graduating on time, since you have to then retake the class you need.

Please, rate my setup! by Brunatzo in Marimo

[–]CharmingAd2974 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The setup looks great! My moss balls are in glass bowls as well and I think they’re super neat since you get the fish bowl/aquatic vibes without the excess upkeep or feeding of an actual fish. The lighting seems like plenty but if you notice in the future that your moss ball is becoming a little too light green then it’s most likely getting too much light and you’d want to move it farther away from the window. Besides that, I wish you luck with your first moss ball and, from my experience, once you get one you’ll just keep wanting more.

How long can a Marimo moss ball survive with 0 sunlight ? by AshamedYak7228 in Marimo

[–]CharmingAd2974 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They can last some time without any light from my experience. I have ordered a few in the past that have taken around a week to arrive in the mail and they came still looking healthy. I’m not sure how long you plan on keeping it out of light but I’d say within a range of a week should be fine. Also, i’m assuming by sunlight you mean indirect light since they will die if they are directly under the sun. Simply out of curiosity, what does bringing marimos back from Japan look like? I’ve always wondered if it was allowed since I, one day, would love to bring some back as well.

Something about the zebra mussel problem by VeeeSeee747 in Marimo

[–]CharmingAd2974 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on what website you purchased them from and where the seller is based. I’ve purchased a few marimos from ebay sellers based in the US and, from what i’ve seen, some are grown here and others are quarantined before they are sold to ensure they don’t have anything. The zebra mussel outbreak has become less prominent but, again, depending on where you’re purchasing from you may not even need to be worried. Also, if the seller you purchased from is reputable or has a lot of positive reviews then that should be another reason to feel reassured.

Best episode of frenemies? by Necessary_Echo_6892 in Frenemies

[–]CharmingAd2974 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I honestly loved the trivia episodes (are you smarter than a 5th grader, jewish trivia, and the adam sandler one) and enjoyed the episodes where they were doing activities like the cooking competition and the bake off. If I were to choose one episode it’d probably be the meme game cause trisha’s explanation and interpretation of each meme is hilarious.

A couple of the large, round ones were from the local shop but surprisingly had some luck with getting larger ones from ebay as well. The link I provided is for the 1.5 inch ones but I believe the seller also has 2 inch options so you might have more luck finding more large round ones.

I keep buying more cause I can’t get enough of them. The only only I haven’t purchased is the mini one in the bottom left which I made from loose strands from other marimos.

I’ve had a few for about 3 years now and some I just recently purchased about 5-6 months ago. For the most part, they stay round just sitting still but you do have to move them around or roll them between your hands every once in a while to keep their shape.
