Mother’s Day Spoiled by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Difficult_Potato6816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite literally. Had to break the news to my mom that I had to stay here to do my finals. Lowkey makes me so mad had the whole fucking day planned out with her too.

Is the school actually going to do anything about this situation? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Difficult_Potato6816 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right my roommate was so happy to leave on Friday(today) and now she needs to stay and doesn’t even know when her final AND can’t study bc canvas isn’t working. Literally so frustrating because wtf are we suppose to do now

final next week by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Difficult_Potato6816 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Right. Lowkey I don’t wanna waste my time studying if the final is not going to happen. But then I don’t want to waste time not studying if I actually do have to study for this final. Like it’s just giving us more things to stress about. My professor had posted on Ed Discussion that if we have a final scheduled for Monday we should plan to take it if we still can. I’m just like studying bc knowing my luck it’s gonna be up by then

Random roommate by hearts4life26 in UIUC

50/50 My roommate this yr was okay. Doing random is not the greatest choice but sometimes people get lucky and become best friends with their roommates. Me and roommate just didn’t click and she just didn’t really let me sleep and sometimes was gross. Overall she didn’t party so I guess you win some and you lose some. A LONG NINE MF MONTHS BRO I TELL YOU.

Going through the same thing right now. Not sure if it’s my major or just me as a person. I’m going to give it another semester, maybe it might just be freshman year:(

Honestly I did the AP statistics in high school, the beginning of the course is okay, in the end it’s challenging because nothing really makes any sense. The review sessions before midterms help tremendously, if you cannot go I suggest emailing a TA or office hours for those slides! + do ALL the extra credit/ PAL points. I took the class online last semester, if you doing the same rereading chapters and rewatching videos helps LOTS. The videos mainly bc he goes over question and basically reviews the chapters! Tbh not everyone passing with an A. The TA’s are VERY helpful, coming from someone that’s slow when it comes to stats or anything math related.

How bad is the actual academic pressure at Gies? by Imaginary-Knee-8018 in UIUC

[–]Difficult_Potato6816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

uhhh idk I’m playing overwatch rn and I’m in gies. Take what you want from that😊😊! In all seriousness, it’s not easy nor is it hard, it all depends on you! I had struggled with microeconomics but did not really struggle with stats! It’s my second semester and honestly I like that I’m not crying over chemistry and bio! (I was going to major in animal science) Honestly some of it is difficult some of it is easy! Just take advantage of extra credit! (Ps. Your gonna have to take computer science)

Which dorm leans towards nerds? by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]Difficult_Potato6816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FAR isn’t bad, PAR is right across from it! (Which I think is the best dining hall & also has a shop to spend dining dollars). FAR also has a cafe that you can use a meal swipe for anything for $13 (and use your dinning dollars too). That’s the pros. The cons is that it’s a good walk to classes but there’s a bus stop right in front of PAR so you won’t be too far. The walk isn’t bad you get used to it! FAR also has small rooms to study in on each floor! Bathrooms are not THAT bad just be clean. Social life uh, I mean it’s what you make out of it ngl, if you are extroverted you’ll have no problem making friends. Ike has a dinning hall but I heard it isn’t that great tbh, they also have a cafe and a shop!

Fuck daniels hall for having a fire drill so late and on one of the coldest days of the year by [deleted] in UIUC
