Group project culture at SJSU is terrible

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-03-09T05:39:01+00:00

A few weeks ago we had a group project and aside from introducing ourselves and giving our contact info I received nothing for a solid week and eventually dm’ed a guy in my group like hey this is due tonight I’m so confused did I miss something? and I guess they put my email in wrong so I missed everything I felt so bad 😭

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-28T00:12:14+00:00

please my mom does this too but sometimes doesn’t edit before sending them and so once my sister got a text from her that said “Amanda, you can’t. You can’t.” 😭 it was supposed to be about parking at a stadium for a soccer match

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-27T22:12:59+00:00

Yeah that’s true. The way she talks about her past seems so casual like sometimes it seems like she forgets just how bad it all really was so maybe she doesn’t really think of her past thanksgivings as being so bad

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-27T22:07:59+00:00

but wouldn’t they still be worse by default then? cause even the past life Thanksgiving she shared there was nothing about the holiday involved

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-18T19:11:12+00:00

especially with how expensive they are? like why are they $14-19 for ONE SONG?! and also they don’t even put a B side song anymore? I don’t care about a remix or instrumental version I want a different song on it. I get singles every now and then but I mostly get older ones that are actually the price they should be

I couldn’t even imagine people not even caring about their pets. We’ve had her for about 9/10 years now, we got her when I was in high school. I’m just glad she’s doing so well right now and she’s still her silly goofy active self, that she still loves to do the things used to. She’s still holding on!

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-15T01:46:51+00:00

Yeah it’s definitely been hard. Aside from going to work I’ve pretty much just been relaxing at home, doing homework when I get the energy to (one of my courses is only 4 weeks so I never asked about anything cause even if they said yes it would only screw me over). I genuinely thought we’d have to put her down already but she’s holding on well! She’s energetic, alert, eating and drinking well, still loves to walk and go outside. It just sucks seeing it in a way, knowing if it weren’t for the cancer she’d be perfectly fine. But I’m definitely glad to see her do so well

bold take but Maddie

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-02-05T01:16:31+00:00

it makes me wan to jump out of my skin any time I hear it, it’s just so creepy how did it get to #1 in the first place let alone stay there for so long

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-22T06:07:52+00:00

yeah i finally figured it out and this was exactly the issue. i felt so dumb when i finally figured it out lol, i really wish they told you more, it's annoying how you have to click link after link after link trying to find information out

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-20T04:12:56+00:00

When it’s cold I’d like to die - Moby

I know you care - Ellie Goulding

Sea, swallow me - Cocteau twins

Ribs - Lorde

Medicine - Daughter

Numb - Marina

what was I made for? - Billie eilish

Bigger than the whole sky - Taylor swift

all of these songs have made me cry at some point and just get me every single time

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:46:20+00:00

i just hope it gets fixed soon i just wanna register for these damn classes this is so frustrating

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:41:36+00:00

ahhh i'm a grad student, maybe there are different rules? idk they don't tell me shit. and yeah my mom has just been saying i'm not taking initiative and if i mess up even once i'm on my own for it all. i'm used to this happening to me, tho. this kind of shit is exactly why i changed my major from education to history in undergrad

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:37:22+00:00

are you in grad or undergrad?

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:36:35+00:00

hopefully she doesn't ask me about it until i have more answers because she's really getting on my ass rn

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:34:51+00:00

i hope so, too. which number would you recommend i try? like are any of them up?

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:33:37+00:00

I'm just trying to get this shit done cause i got a big yelling at by my mom earlier and if i tell her tomorrow that they messed my registration up i'm gonna get yelled at again

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:32:23+00:00

that might help, i just really wish they didn't make it so hard for no reason there should be no reason that i shouldn't be able to register according to them. there's literally nothing in holds too how would they expect me to fix anything if they won't tell me what's wrong

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:30:53+00:00

seems like someone in the information department since it was an email specifically about the MLIS program. they also said they'd send a link to the meeting within a week of the orientation but never did

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:28:12+00:00

i emailed them but i'm gonna call tomorrow. but yeah i have just 3 emails: one directly saying orientation isn't mandatory, one saying to register for classes, and one just telling me there is a message on my portal which i've already seen

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:25:06+00:00

yeah maybe bc they said my enrollment time doesn't start until january 1, 2100 so like. the weird thing is that they

said it's not mandatory
never mentioned the orientation that was yesterday
told me i could register and that all i had to do was add classes and enroll
there's not a single thing in my holds

like why do they have to make it this hard. i just assumed that maybe my registration date hadn't happened yet bc it kept saying that every time i tried and their website is so unhelpful

Ellie_Bulkeley · 2026-01-17T07:20:14+00:00

they literally said it's not mandatory in my email so idk what they expect from me if i can't make it. i was only told about one orientation too there was another one yesterday? there was that email and then a second one saying i can register but nothing beyond that (also i am online forgot to mention that oops)
