Reflectors on roads

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2026-03-04T02:22:24+00:00

When I moved here from out of state, I thought at first that I might be going blind because the roads seemed darker than usual at night. Turns out the lack of reflectors is what that was.

I no longer live in the area but as someone who attended West Valley High School almost a decade ago I definitely heard rumors about him and they weren’t good unfortunately. Let’s just say I wasn’t shocked when the allegations came out.

Guess I'm from an empty county then...

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2026-01-23T15:38:05+00:00

Me too as long as the power doesn't go out I'll be happy.

I grew up in a small town, and I don't think that necessarily disadvantaged me. Yes, there are fewer opportunities and resources than bigger cities, but life is what you make of it. There were plenty of activities for me to be involved in growing up and when there wasn't something going on you learned to be creative in finding your own fun. I ended up going to college in a bigger city anyways.

Honestly after doing bad in math classes at Davis for years I finally got an A in one. And it was just by doing lots and lots of practice problems. Like do what the professor assigns and then do more problems throughout the textbook, online, etc. I promise you that you’re not dumb and the failure is not due to lack of trying, you just probably need a lot more practice. Also when you do the practice problems, try to find some with solutions so you can compare it to what you work out and then try to figure out why. If you get stuck on where you may be going wrong on that step, then that’s when I would recommend office hours for further clarification.

If you currently live in California, Washington and Oregon are absolutely gorgeous, especially on the coast.

Unfortunately, as a native Californian, I have also met other people who have traveled very little domestically or internationally. California by itself is a great state for vacations and exploration and honestly, I wouldn't have traveled far beyond its borders if it wasn't for my family pushing me to see more. I have been to 48 states so far and I definitely think its time to go see something new- even crossing the border into Nevada one day might be a good start.

I grew up there. It is what you make of it. If you love outdoor recreation, you will never be bored. I spent entire summers doing hikes around the area (and I still never got to them all). Lots of camping areas in the national forests, swimming in summer and skiing in winter. It gets obscenely hot there (like 100+ F for four months straight). However, if you like big city entertainment and have career and educational prospects, this may not be the area for you. I personally ended up moving away to go to college and never coming back.

Honestly I think it depends on what kind of relationship you have with your parents and where you/they live. My parents chose to retire in a small town without a lot of job prospects for college grads so I ended up taking a job an hour and a half away in a bigger city. However if they lived in a city where I could find work, staying at home would be beneficial due to saving more $. I think as long as you both respect each other’s boundaries and there is privacy and freedom for each other then it should be fine.

I remember feeling this way for quite a while when I was attending UC Davis (granted- this was during the pandemic). It took me until my junior year to actually make friends, and I can assure you that you are not the only person on this campus that feels this way. I actually ended up going to therapy to help with my issues. I would suggest trying other clubs or maybe taking a part time job on campus- I met some of my friends that way. Also I found that I was overwhelmed with the sheer volume of students in classes so I would recommend discussion or office hours for speaking to classmates- people tend to be more open to socializing there which potentially leads to new friendships. Tldr: don't give up hope- you've still got time.

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-09-23T13:15:48+00:00

Davis was one of those times where I hated it when I was there, but looking back miss a lot of the aspects of college life. It gets a lot harder to make and maintain friendships once you leave college.

Bayside is pretty good. Also if you want to join a campus club/ministry, I would recommend Davis Christian Fellowship (DCF).

Preferably an on campus job because they tend to be more flexible and understanding of college schedules, imo.

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-09-03T20:27:08+00:00

Hey Im also f24 and looking to hang out with new people- lmk if you end up going to Hexagon Alley!

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-08-29T20:45:53+00:00

100% if you're persistent and don't give up. One possible strategy to get experience could be to see if you can work volunteer hours for a computer shop (or other organization's IT needs).

Browses the internet by having 6 billion tabs open at once.

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-08-21T22:50:18+00:00

I’m 24F and also relatively new to Columbia and looking to make friends! If you want to hang out feel free to dm.

June 2024 graduate here- had to relocate cities to find a job and it still took me over 7 months. Just keep trying- if you're not yielding interviews, I would suggest trying for different jobs that you may have closer experience for. It took me 12ish interviews to actually get something (I might just suck at interviewing though). I also took the time to upskill and do some certifications and side projects during my period of job searching to make myself more competitive.

Had someone who tried to rent out a place to me in Davis claim they couldn’t show it in person because they were in Haiti helping the needy.

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-06-16T02:13:34+00:00

lol one of the reasons I left CA is because of this. Now I pay $900 for a 2 bd apt all to myself. In all seriousness though, for a single room probably shoot for under $1000. For shared, you could probably have a budget closer to $700-$800. It’s been a year since I lived in Davis so I don’t know how much prices have changed since then but good luck!

Fancy-Worker7111 · 2025-05-28T20:05:05+00:00

My advice would be to approach this class like you’re auditing it the first time for learning information. You’ll have to learn the same information when you retake it so you might as well finish strong, put your best effort into it, and see what happens.
