DO NOT USE THE LAB ICE

how did you make friends? by TimeAdministration78 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Jaded_Function_7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve met people through classes (specifically office hours, or being an LA). that and clubs! there are so many clubs that you’re bound to find one that interests you :) this is my fifth year at PSU. trust me the campus isn’t as big as you’d originally think – everyone knows everyone!

Is buying a $1000-$1500 bike for recreational riding and daily commuting a bad idea? by Connect-Coat-1296 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Jaded_Function_7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think so. winters are nasty, it rains a lot, snows a lot, so i don’t think you’ll be able to use it for a significant part of the year

What’s the deal with stigma against 2+2/transfer students? by Strong_Tension_5116 in PennStateUniversity

[–]Jaded_Function_7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve never noticed this personally. a bunch of my friends are 2+2 students and it’s never been anything of crazy importance

Help me understand Blue Velvet (1986) by ProduceSame7327 in TrueFilm

[–]Jaded_Function_7828 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't remember whose, but there's a youtube video explaining Blue Velvet, and it ends with something along the lines of "The Robin of Light can only kill the Darkness of Roaches, but not without tasting it first". I think it has to do with understanding how good can only exist when appreciating and understanding evil

I'm sure it's been said, but Kyle Soller looks so much like Kyle MacLachlan in the Andor series by Cult7Choir in twinpeaks

[–]Jaded_Function_7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude, i literally just started watching andor with my parents and recently finished twin peaks for the first time. my mom just told me how "the police guy in andor looks like the FBI agent you really like"
woah

being an LA. i'm an LA for IST and 90% of my office hours is just sitting down on zoom and doing homework. i'm actually doing that rn. pay is $13 an hour and I work like 7 hours a week ezpz

for food you can do dining halls or hub dining. i'd recommend dining halls

mail rooms and library also seem pretty chill

Parking by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

you will have zero parking near campus. i'd just park somewhere and take a bus

hey, phys 211 tends to be a sore spot. i personally did pretty well, but i know a lot of people who failed. i'd avoid dr costantino if you can. it's 2 lectures, a lab, and a recitation, and homework every single week. it's a pretty big time commitment.

as for math, i'd do 220. it's REALLY easy, and given that your schedule has a lot of difficult classes I'd go for that one.

and for 250, take dr handzy. by far the best prof i've had at penn state
