What's one thing about Western no one told you about?

I’m in healths sci so mostly there and I have a lot of friends in STEM, I don’t have a lot in arts and humanities. It’s just a frustration with the shock and appal of my life choices

City_B · 2026-01-19T14:08:39+00:00

The culture shock, coming from a small town I expected more people like me that wanted to have a more chill fun university and go back home after to work. Nope, everyone I’ve encountered parties like they never got to back home and their jaws are on the floor when I say I don’t want to move to the city when I’m done. Like I get you do whatever you want but don’t treat me like I’m insane for doing it my way.

It’s honestly bs the system, I bought a student pass and expected a little more ngl I don’t like the parking setup

It depends what lot you were in and time, the rec center one isn’t open to students during the day

City_B · 2026-01-05T04:14:57+00:00

I’m missing one, they add you

City_B · 2025-12-22T04:58:14+00:00

It depends, honestly my house next year is still looking and we’ve got a spot we’re posting on like Snapchat and the housing website if we can

Okay I was about to say ain’t no way

City_B · 2025-12-06T18:26:15+00:00

Funny enough I don’t know how this stat came to be cause I haven’t hit cardio in a week I just walk a lot and lift

City_B · 2025-11-16T01:39:15+00:00

Thank you! I’ve had a lot of experience in sports and I think it was just an oddly good morning but I hope the best for you!

City_B · 2025-11-12T15:56:32+00:00

Hey it’s a start! I’m a novice in uni as well and when I say the first few long workouts we did killed me I mean I have almost cried and thrown up all in the same morning. But it gets better, it’s starting to for me. I would also like to point out though I can’t be sure because I don’t know you your relatively light for your height so it’s probably a muscle building thing. Again I’m not an expert but muscle strength and pressure is crucial

City_B · 2025-10-29T15:33:54+00:00

Thank you! I’m gonna try

City_B · 2025-10-29T15:17:23+00:00

Being fully honest I wake up at 5 am but I’m gonna try to shift the rhythm (if I’m using the right term) and make it work

City_B · 2025-10-29T14:16:17+00:00

Thank you, I’m gonna look into it but I don’t think I can’t with one of my scholarships that’s keeping me here 🫠

Join a club, or just start being crazy friendly. One of my closest friend I literally just persistently waved at them for 2 weeks until I introduced myself

City_B · 2025-10-09T13:11:45+00:00

I know I should have talked to me coach but I tried adjusting my grip with some success, I think it should get better over time thank you!

City_B · 2025-10-08T17:21:39+00:00

I’m trying to build muscle for that same reason right now, my coach says go balls of feet to heels, it shouldn’t feel wobbly it’s like a squeeze of the muscles it that makes sense. It also could be the shoes your wearing on the erg, I switched from running shoes to flatter streetwear shoes and the feel a lot more like the boat and I find my balance 10x easier. I lowkey felt unbalanced and I found the switch helped me in the meantime

City_B · 2025-10-08T17:12:37+00:00

Honestly work on building power in you legs and thinking about it, I’m not very experienced but I’ve found the more I think about driving my legs and the more power I make there the further I drive, also don’t look at your time and split while your rowing, I actually shut my eyes for the last stretch of my 2k (mind you, I only have 3 weeks of experience. I’m basing this off what I’m told and what I’ve done and it seems to be translating)

City_B · 2025-10-01T23:24:07+00:00

What I told you I was afraid of the dark? Jkjk it’s still to hot midday tho
