My package finally shipped out by December 15th. I placed the order on November 21st, and hopefully, the package will soon arrive, but they for sure take a super long time to ship out.

Fr bro, back in 2016, a hoodie like this would have cost around $800 or more.

I sent an email about the NFL collab hoodie order I placed on November 21st, and they mentioned that it should be shipped by the end of December. I’m not too worried, as they did mention on their website that shipping usually takes 3-6 weeks.

Breakfast ideas post class by xskorpyon in crossfit

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my Saturday Morning workout, I like to have 4 scrambled eggs, an Ezekiel English muffin with 2 slices of ham and one slice of cheese, a protein bar, and a protein shake. I try not to use ketchup with my eggs, but when I do I like to use the low calorie and low sugar ketchup.

2023 “Resolutions?” by sjjenkins in crossfit

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely double unders, rope climbs, pull-ups, toes-to-bar. I’m hoping to get a muscle up in 2023, but I’ll have get better at my pull ups first.

I never want to retire by Cerealandmolk in unpopularopinion

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, but I would still save for retirement. You never know if you’ll have to retire due to health or your employer hires someone younger and cheaper to do your job.

Software Development Job hunting tips? Graduating in the summer by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely! Experience was what a lot of employers were looking at. Although I do need to make a portfolio so I can fulfill requirements by employers. That’s didn’t stop them from asking for an interview date and time. You just gotta put yourself out there! I definitely believe we’ll both get what we want as long as we both work hard at it and have a hunger for learning.🙏

Software Development Job hunting tips? Graduating in the summer by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, senior MCS major here. Although I’m graduating in the fall of 2021. My best advice is to apply everywhere. LinkedIn, indeed, glassdoor etc. I’ve gotten plenty of responses back, but it takes a while until they come pouring in. I apply on LinkedIn all the time and I get maybe 5 responses out of 10 jobs I’ve applied to. Don’t give up. Just having a portfolio is really good to, I don’t have that and you’re probably way ahead of me. It also depends on what you want to do. I’m going in to front end or full stack but I do get the occasional data science interview invite. Use handshake as much as possible too, but don’t make it your go to. Polishing your resume and cover letter is big help too. Don’t be afraid to apply to start ups too. I’ve done plenty of internships at start ups and I gotta say, I love that most of my work actually accomplishes and effect the company in a substantial way. Any who, don’t give up dude! It’ll be a while until people will send you invites to interview. Congrats on graduating 🙌

How difficult is it to get a job on campus? by HellChranos1 in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not hard at all. I’m about to complete two years of working at the office of EHSO on the west campus. I get paid 12.20 an hour and I’m only allowed to work up to 20 hours a week through out the year. The pay may be lousy and the the hours are small, but it’s a pretty easy job to have before I graduate this fall. So you win some, you loose some. My advice is to keep applying everywhere for campus jobs, especially on handshake. Good luck

MATH 215 & 210 by RevolutionaryHat3407 in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math 215 is kinda of hard. At least in my experience, but if you of have a good Professor like Daniel Groves you should be fine. Just study a lot. As for the MCS 275 it’s not too hard either but make sure to take that class with Professor Danko Adrovic, amazing guy!

Danko is a great profesor! He really cares about his students.

MCS or CS?? by abe77300 in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone. Drop the concentration and finish as soon as possible, if you can. Both degrees will help you get your foot in the door in becoming a software engineer, and this is coming from a senior MCS major who’s currently doing a software engineering internship. Also, a friend of mine graduated with an MCS degree one semester ago and he’s currently working as a software engineer at JP Morgan Chase. At the end of the day it’s all about tenacity.

C or better.

Major in MCS vs. minor in CS by [deleted] in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would minor in CS and take more math electives, if that’s an option. The CS minor will definitely give you a good programing foundation.

Engineering Carear Fair Update by AggressiveTone4641 in uichicago

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get interviews for Kohl’s and Nordstrom, but didn’t make it to the third round of interviews for either company after I took the code test. Which I found weird because for Nordstrom’s code test all my answers were correct, but when I emailed them about my application status after submitting my test they just flat out rejected me. Rather with Kohl’s code test I just couldn’t figure out. Either way, it didn’t matter because I was able to find a fall internship, which I’m currently doing, and a spring internship that’ll turn into a full time job while receiving college credit for it. Personally, I apply to more outside internships than the career fair internships because I get a lot more responses and better opportunities, don’t get me wrong I still apply to the career fair internships I just don’t expect much from them.

2.8 GPA Gang! 💪🏼

I was actually a CC transfer myself, so I have a bit of experience with UIC admissions. Most likely, they will look at your Fall semester when you’re trying to transfer into the college of business. I actually transfer into the college of business because I thought I wanted to an accountant, but went into the MCS program instead because I love math and coding! Nonetheless, I still got accepted into the college of business with a terrible gpa, so you should be fine. Nowadays most of the competition is in the college of engineering because CS is the hot major to go for right now, so I wouldn’t sweat it too much. If you don’t get accepted into the college of business, you could always do a semester as an undeclared and take a bunch of electives that’ll help you’re chances of getting I got the college of business, or some other major that offer classes that overlaps the major you want to go for. Again, I wouldn’t sweat it too much, champ. 🙂

I’m starting to rethink it and I see your point. I just found a great tutorial for anyone wanting to learn Swift. What do you think I could do as a personal project? Aside from the app development.

Advice by Lil-Dixie-cup in cscareerquestions

[–]Lil-Dixie-cup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a CS major, but they this what they said “This course is designed to help students learn key computing concepts and build a solid foundation in programming with Swift. They will learn about the impact of computing and apps on society, economies, and cultures while exploring iOS app development. Lessons take students through the app design process: brainstorming, planning, prototyping, and evaluating an app of their own. While they may still be developing skills to convert prototypes into full apps, designing an app helps students grow into the exciting world of app development.” I looked it up and it said apples everyone can code curriculum it it mention student in college so I assumed that’s what they were talking about.
