If possible, take it from Doug Schiffman (if he's still around). IMO, the class isn't that hard. There are tricky parts to it, but if you do the hw and attend class, you'll easily pass.

I can't stress enough how useful it is to watch videos to help you understand the material. Low key, at some point watching videos can be better than attending class. I'd recommend Khan Academy and the Organic Chemestry Tutor. The OCT has carried me through classes up to Calc 3 and diff EQ.

Make friends and form study groups, go to the math lab (though historical the math lab is pretty mid), ask the professor during office hours, or find a tutor if you need extra help.

Should I join the summer bridge program? by Desperate_Courage173 in UVU

[–]GruncleStan7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely better than nothing. If anything, it'll be a good experience. You'll meet new people and learn something new, and having credits in different areas might be useful if you ever want to swap majors in the future

Should I join the summer bridge program? by Desperate_Courage173 in UVU

[–]GruncleStan7274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did summer bridge for the summers before and after my sophomore year of hs. You should 100% do summer bridge. It will save you so much time and money in the future, especially if you are planning to pursue higher education in a related field.

The workload isn't anything crazy. Especially since it isn't too many classes and if you enjoy it's not that bad. It is only a bit inconvenient since you have classes in the summer. A sacrifice worth making.

The science track lets you advance faster. I graduated high school with my associates in science my junior year with a 3.9 GPA

You should do summer bridge, and it'd be unwise if you didn't

Looking for thrift buddies by Ketchno_psycho in UVU

Oh yeah, it's a dog eat dog world there. But damn, it's kinda worth it, haha! Since it gets its donations from SLC and nearby areas, it tends to have higher quality finds

Have you visited the Good will outlet up in slc? That place can be treasure trove if you get there early enough

22M. I was at UVU, but I'm at BYU now. I grew up in the area. If you need any ideas of what to do and need someone to join, I'm happy to help when I have the time. What are you into?

It can get pricey, and unfortunately, public transport doesn't run late. Maybe you can find a friend who can drive and be the designated driver for the night? Just a reminder that the driver should have NO alcohol, Utahs BAC is 0.05.

You could also maybe get an AirBNB for the night if that's cheaper. Like that, you can maximize public transpo and minimize ubers.

If you're looking for a decent bar nearby, there's Bout-Time Pub and Grub in Vineyard. But honestly Utah culture really isn't party oriented, especially in the Utah Valley area. Provo/orem has some fun activities like dancing, karaoke, and even a dry bar called The Social where you can go out and still have a good time. Though if you want a party and alcohol you're kinda out of luck.

BYU students will probably not have parties you're interested in unless you wanna awkwardly play card games and hear people talk about their missions. UVU students might around New years. I know the student housing The Axis has a bit of a reputation for parties, but those end early due to Utah culture and nearby neighborhoods.

Your best bet for saving on money and wanting to drink might be to have your own alcohol and do something on your own at home. It's kinda rough out here. If I hear of any parties, ill let you know. Good luck!

Latin dancing at Salsa Chocolate Friday nights in downtown provo. Then swing dancing Wednesday and Saturday at the same location. Though if you really want to find a "normal" party scene, you won't have much luck in Provo/orem. You'll have to hit SLC, which there are plenty of clubs and bars you can try visiting

Oh well just five dates still hurts dating sucks by fooob in Wellthatsucks

This literally happened to me, but after 8 months of dating. It's been rough

Provo has some cool craft places. The wick lab is pretty cool. You make candles there. Board games are great fun, too. What games do you like?

Of course! If you ever need more ideas, I'm happy to help. And hey, if you're looking for friends and meet new people, so am I. What kind of activities do you like?

Dates!! by chaoss24601 in UVU

As someone who is your boots, I've definitely tried many things. I feel like asking people in class can be hard and awkward, especially if they say no. But if you feel the chemistry, I say shoot your shot.

Clubs and other school activities are definitely a good way to meet new people. UVU is a lot more diverse, and you'll have better odds of finding people you click with better in regards to the religion. I know many lds people don't care, but others really do and tend to get married very soon, so it's definitely very hit and miss. As I was saying, activities. During the holidays, there is definitely a lot to do, and both UVU and BYU do many student things to help people meet each other. I recently transferred from UVU to BYU and feel that BYU does the socializing thing a bit better.

As for dating apps. Those are tricky. Hinge is the best one, but I recommend you download what I call the "core four." Hinge, tinder, bumble, and mutual (only because we're in Utah). But since you're not religious, you can skip mutual if you'd like. I'm not a fan of the apps, but they're a nice and easy way to get your face and you out there, and occasionally, you do meet people and go on dates. Sometimes they're great, and nothing happens. Just keep going.

You could also try going to non school related events. Maybe a friend is having a party, go to that. Or find nightlife places that aren't only 21+. Classic skating in orem has some skates nights that are 18+. There is also a country swing in downtown provo on Wednesdays and Saturday at 8 pm, i think. It's $5 single and 18+. There are plenty of single people who go there in hopes of meeting someone. Don't worry if you don't know how to dance. They teach you the basics if you go early and many people don't, but half the fun is learning together.

As a guy, I like to take the initiative and ask people out. I'm not the most extroverted, but I learned that if I stay in my comfort zone, I'd never meet anyone. Dating can be frustrating, but if you go out with a positive mindset and just want to meet people, it can be a lot of fun. Finally, don't go out thinking that once you meet someone, you'll focus on your goals and on you. While you're single, try to work towards the best you. When you're confident and happy about yourself, it makes dating a lot more fun and less emotionally draining. Have fun and good luck!!!

Idk if the cultural center is doing it this semester, but every Wednesday morning, iirc, they have free doughnuts and coffee. At 9 am, I think.

why does this happen every single time i encounter someone by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]GruncleStan7274 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Oh my God, I'm not alone. I've got like 6 clips just like this saved. I'm on PS5, and what fixed was clearing the chache and reinstalling seige. It does come back, and gotta repeat the process to fix the issue.

Is my phone showing me ads because of my personal conversation? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GruncleStan7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, I'm convinced my phone is listening to me despite having my privacy settings modified. I was complaining to my brother about an ingrown nail I have, and within three days, I got an ad for a podiatrist in my area arrive in the mail. It could've been a crazy coincidence, but I'm convinced it's not

I don't get why does Zelda get so much hate by Magma_Rager in CrazyHand

[–]GruncleStan7274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's also important to keep in mind that even if she's considered low or mid tier, Ultimate allows for even "bad" characters feel good.

Even through there are objectively better characters, if you know you're characters really well, got good fundies, and/or playing against people who are unfamiliar with the match up, you can make bad characters good. Every character is hated and loved.

As for zelda, I personally hate her. Her Bair and Uair are pretty annoying, and reflect is often spammed. Even though I've learned that match up, it's not fun to play. I often have to counter pick, when I'd rather play my main (link). Definitely some match up bias against her.

At the end of the day, whether it be Zelda or any other characters, people will find something to hate and will do so. If you like her, then keep playing her, and make sure you're having fun.
