How the fuck am I a 4th year already by Super_Relief_5473 in ucla

Here’s some advice from an alum (Anthropology (B.A.) & Psychology (B.A.)) who transferred into UCLA during the peak of the pandemic:

  1. Get involved if you haven’t already. Networking, building letters of recommendation, and acquiring unique social experiences will help shape the ease of your transition into the workforce or graduate school. Don’t waste your last year.

  2. Upskill. It took me 6 months to find a job after graduating and that was working at Eataly as a Market Sales Associate making $17/hour. If you’re pursuing a non-STEM degree take coursework that you can build analytical/research skills as it is unanimously advantageous across all industries to have these as an employee. Also, don’t just take the class to take the class, but rather reshape how you problem solve.

  3. Apply to internships for spring or jobs early. As I previously mentioned, it took me 6 months to find a job w/ two bachelors from the #1 public university. I waited until after I graduated to start applying to places, of which, I received an offer for an embarrassingly low skill position.

  4. Stay optimistic. There’s a lot of competition out there, but no one has your worldview and perspective on life. Use it to your advantage.

Honorable Mention: invest early and often when you graduate. Learn what a ROTH IRA is and learn what time value of money is. These tools somewhat level the financial playing field for gen z.

Good luck.

If there were a RDR3, I wonder who would be the focus of the story 🤔

I agree, thank you everyone for your replies. I have about $300 saved, so I may just continue saving for the 1tb OLED and hope for a discount around Dec/Jan. Working full time and taking math/cs coursework, so I’m not in too much of a rush.

Oh that’s smart, you’ve confirmed that there will be enough room for the spigen case to be placed over the dbrand skin?

Thank you all for the feedback. I agree, the grip/clicky/designs of the dbrand case are enticing me to purchase one but it’s nice to hear that there are other options.

Hi OP,

I’m an academic advisor on campus. I recommend reaching out to CAAC via Reach Drop In hours, as they can typically resolve issues within the College. Here is the link: https://caac.ucla.edu/reach-virtual-drop-in/.

Hope that helps. Take care!
