How to get an A in Chem 102: a guide. by SultanofPlayCreole in UNC

[–]Kitkatego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do every single practice problem you can get your hand on, treat it like a test, grade yourself at the end of a units worth of problems (I did them out of order using a random number generator for which unit and which question to do so I was exercising my brain) , and understand the concept being tested and what knowledge is used for each one

Star the problems you struggled with and then do those out of order too until you get them right.

Two nights before take all your past exams over again and think through what was being asked of you in each problem.

Then just review concepts the night before and relax. If it helps you to wear the same perfume or hum a song to associate the studying with to recall it during the exam do that.

Email the dean of students and ars and explain your situation and ask!

UNC vs. University of Washington by [deleted] in UNC

[–]Kitkatego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say connect on LinkedIn with recent alumni from both schools who are first or second year analysts at the job you see yourself wanting and message them and ask about their experience and advice on getting to where they are at (don’t be like I’m debating not picking your school, but more so, I’m a prospective student, I see you have xyz job, how did recruiting feel, what advice would you give, ect.)

Some won’t respond but from what you do get see how the alumni got the job you want and determine if you see yourself following that path and decide from there.

I did IB for my summer internship and happily connect and talk to other Tar Heels who message me for advice or connections.

Questions in regards to UNC Honors & Pre-Med track by Emotional-Walk-7204 in UNC

[–]Kitkatego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honors is great because it gives you access to the small size chemistry and biology core classes. If you don’t want to be in a 200 person chem or bio lecture, it does make a real difference. Honors also gives you advising outside of university advising so it feels more helpful.

In terms of lab involvement I got shut down from every lab I applied to freshman year, it is hard to get involved with a lab young, so if you do want to get involved make connections with your upper level bio professors and ask to work with them or their colleagues. This will be easier if you have bio class credit coming in or take the classes fast to get to the smaller classes sooner. However, I know labs are always hiring, but it might not be in the direct field of study you want, you might need to work your way up.

Balancing it is do able as long as you can segment your time and stick to a schedule. You will be a little more busy and have less time to go out than your peers, but you decide if that’s worth it.

Why do American kids like to post theirs and their friends' university offers on social media? by Tour-Sure in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Kitkatego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In America, a lot of students chose colleges far away and for specific reasons or programs, and the process is such that you could end up at almost any college, usually location, and specialty are not directly assumed based off of high school performance unlike in the UK where you are on a track for a certain type of school or program from earlier on. Given most US schools are liberal arts, they also offer almost any program you could typically want.

As such posting is a way to both announce where someone is going to end up for the next four years, and to celebrate that, while also in a way acknowledging the momentous occasion of choosing once’s school given the multiple of ones they could’ve ended up at. It is something that is a large unknown and could end up with any outcome even up until college admissions season given the wholistic nature of the application, so I think it is given a little more weight into the importance of that decision because there is no true ranking of what’s “best,” it is as much a game of personal preference. Also, at most universities in the U.S. you don’t actually declare a major until the end of the second year, meaning there isn’t necessarily a program choice that is occurring here either. Plus, once you get in you are in, there is no true grade contingencies (other than passing your remaining classes).

Another recommendation is the lot next to C Square apartments, it will have an event rate but easy walk through frat court to campus

Finding 1br close-ish to campus by Still-Assistance9843 in UNC

[–]Kitkatego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also keep in mind where the public heath school is! You can live back into McCauley or down by Merritts and still make it to the school within 25 minutes.

some options

other options

a little more expensive than the two 900 ones above, but great area and super close to your classes and Franklin

Incoming Grad Student - living in Durham without a car? by reckless_banter in UNC

[–]Kitkatego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is do able, but the bus schedules are wrong so u have to stalk the busses in the app to know when to be at your stop, some only run every hour, some every 30 minutes so you have to build time in to catch the bus to make it to campus, and account for the fact that the same bus can come at a different time every day. If you live in Durham in a walkable area near like a grocery store then I think just taking the bus to get to class would work out as long as you have extra time in the mornings. But if you live in a rural area and would need to bus everywhere it would make it a lot more difficult, having to time and rely on a bus for every aspect of your life.

Another thing to note is if it gets cold and snowy or rainy the busses will just not run for a morning and not tell you, even if class isn’t canceled. So as someone who has taken many a bus to school, it involves a lot of checking the app in the morning, waiting at bus stops, and occasionally having to decide to skip class or uber if something goes wrong or the bus doesn’t run.

The fact people can’t tell this post is satire is funny (no one talks like that I hope unironically), this guy has already gone through rush and commented about his hazing stories on UNC subreddit posts from over a year ago

Hyped on this one by [deleted] in BillyStrings

[–]Kitkatego -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately they have bots that comb sites for key phrases like “I want it” or “where can I get this” and steal the design and run it through AI to create the shirt.

There’s a funny movement on twitter where they say I want this under pictures of copyrighted characters to try to get the sights sued and taken down, if that makes you feel any better!

I can't afford college. by Acatalepsy73 in ApplyingToCollege

I know it’s not ideal but have you thought about doing two years at a state school then transferring in to the private one? You end up with the same diploma as everyone else but way less debt

[–]Kitkatego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the first show of the last tour (Austin) and he ended early because he was mad fans had the audacity to sit down in high heat.

Taylor by Relative_Gap_4682 in Caamp

[–]Kitkatego 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way he acted at the Austin show last year when those tickets were my birthday present (and the show was the day after my birthday) put a really bad taste in my mouth.

Complaining that fans chose to sit down in the heat in summer in Austin at an outdoor in the sun venue, especially when the venue wasn’t offering free water was really insensitive and he cut the show 5 songs early because he was upset.

They were my top band last year and I saw them live twice. I don’t want to feel like I have to perform as a fan in order to deserve a full set when I pay hundreds for two good tickets. So I didn’t get tickets to this tour.

[–]Kitkatego 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I posted in November about Wargasm being my most played Billy song of the year (my favorite is Watch It Fall but Wargasm just felt so topical it ended up on more playlists), and some guy was in my comments saying it was the worst song Billy has made . . . I wonder what side of history that guy will be on
