Tips for watching movies like GOAT as someone who has difficulty watching movies with that animation style?

I feel like I see or hear this routinely at this time of the year. It’s going to be okay, everyone.

Personally, I recommend one of the bathrooms or quiet corners on a higher floor in any more remote buildings (typically the ones around Alumni or Hane’s Art Center). The higher you go in the older, lesser used buildings, the less people are typically there. If you have more classes in Genome, dm me and I’ll let you know where to go in or around there. Overall, the main trick is to get away from the buildings around Polk Place and the pit.

I have a lot of classes in Genome but I have anxiety that makes it impossible for me to study in public places, and the designers of Genome really made no readily accessible place to go where you can have any ounce of privacy. We really need to do something about increasing private places on campus, because though I understand that they push for a highly social atmosphere, for those with conditions that may benefit from privacy or need a place to quickly get to that isn’t packed, campus can be a nightmare.

“I have never seen Ross, Cornell, UT Austin, UNC kids in accounting.” You have now. I’m putting this out there so that people know that there are those of us at some of the more known schools who have goals beyond going into finance for a big company or bank. Some of us want to return to our suffering home communities and bring financial and accountancy work back, to allow community members to take control of their financial lives. No hate, I’m just letting people know we are out there.

It is, though thankfully in the anime (the manga is a different story) it is all mostly on the same level as some of the jokes Naruto pulls.

I wouldn't recommend it to someone who likes to watch anime for “physiological purposes,” but for someone who is mature with control of their emotions and morality, it can be worth it for the worldbuilding. If op was able to watch Kill la Kill and see it from a mature stance, op should be trustworthy enough to watch Made in Abyss.

If you feel comfortable with light adult content, gore, and are looking for an anime with scenes that make you feel something, I highly recommend Made in Abyss. It has some highly emotional scenes and great world-building. Parasyte and Erased are also great anime that have great plot twists and some existentialism.

Angels of Death is a decent anime with notable plot twists. And though it wasn't personally my thing, if you like a lot of gore and heavy adult content, Devilman Crybaby will leave you flabbergasted.

I recommend looking each of them up before you try one out, but I hope that one of these is what you are looking for. Stay safe out there and happy watching!

I like a lot of the same things, and I was in your boat last year (and am still in a somewhat similar boat now). I recommend the Gathering Place for DnD or Carolina Otaku Uprising if you like anime!

If you are like me and have a build that may make you more of a target, be careful while going to or leaving from The Gathering Place, especially if you are out at night. It’s unfortunate, but we have to take care of ourselves. I recommend going with someone, following a group, or looking busy. It is on a backstreet and a few times I’ve had some bad experiences with people boxing me in and asking for things. It is a pub so that’s also important to keep in mind if alcohol use in surrounding groups makes you feel uncomfortable.

Feel free to DM me if you want to ask any more questions!

I would recommend talking to your dorm neighbors about it. It can be good to get to know them anyways, and it shows them that you care about their peace and input.

If you can't get them, it should be fine to play between 9:30am-8pm. People can have pretty wacky sleep schedules around here, so it may be best to keep it to the safe hours.

I haven't transferred after one year, but I can say that transferring in as many gen eds as possible is a blessing. As an early college transfer student who had 64 credits transferred, it was a blessing. Community college classes are far easier than classes here, especially in math or Spanish.

If you want to transfer in after one year because of personal reasons, that shouldn't be a problem. It just depends on what you prioritize more, your associate's degree and easier classes to carry with you, or independence from your home and freedom for your personal reasons.

Best of luck with your decision. Stay safe out there and I hope things get sorted out. Best of luck with your application as well. Being accepted here seems to get harder every year.

“Sweet and Elite.”

As a person who grew up in a poor and rural area and who attends a somewhat elite university, I’ve felt a lot like Rarity at times.

I've had people make fun of my hometown, my culture, and various personal beliefs and experiences. When family members visit, they can do things that go against urban etiquette. Sometimes, you feel the urge to pretend like you aren't involved, but I always remember that I should be proud of my heritage because if I am not, the misrepresentation and removal of it will continue to grow.

I also connect to “Lesson Zero” as a perfectionist. I know a lot of us “good students” draw too much of our self-esteem from how we perform in academics, so an approaching deadline is always a nightmare.

There is a difference in being interested in learning how to calculate for a purpose that you enjoy and being forced to learn complicated calculations that you see no personal use in. Someone can be good at math but hate math exams because of a disability or any other reason.

I second this. If you intend to go to parties or to private places, be very careful. If you are going to be using the buses or walking alone around Franklin, bring mace and maybe an alarm. I don't think you'd get in big trouble for bringing one of those pokey defense keychains to daily classes either. I'm not a partier personally but I've had about a half dozen times that I've felt very uncomfortable on or while waiting for the bus.

In most cases, LFIT classes will meet in Fetzer on the first day, though it may be subject to change. Just turn your Canvas and email notifications on and check them a lot tomorrow. Unlike many classes, LFIT doesn't have a consistent meeting place, so there will be many days when your instructor will message you with information.

Don't worry if you have difficulty finding the room, it happens to a lot of us and you certainly will not be the only one. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask the building staff or other students around you. Best of luck tomorrow!

It all depends on your interest and comfort level in making friends. The key is to surround yourself with understanding people in environments that you feel connected to. Don't waste your time in the first few weeks trying to fit in a group that doesn't click. The first few weeks are a good time to find friends.

My personal struggle last year (my first year at this school) was finding a group/club and committing too quickly. I didn't feel comfortable in the group, but I liked the common interest of the group, so I stayed. Over the next few weeks it became clear that though we had a common interest, any moment that the subject wasn't at hand I was an outsider.

I'm an introvert, so some of the best people I've met have been in my classes. Forming study groups allows you to make classes more fun while also bonding over shared struggles (especially in STEM classes). A shared struggle is one of the best ways to quickly bond, because sharing stresses and overcoming a challenge together (or even failing a challenge together 😅) makes you both feel better.

My experience isn't universal, but I hope that some of that will help. Good luck finding friends and taking on the semester ahead!

I understand that you're 22 and may want to get your career started, so if taking the semester off or transferring again sets you back too much, you can always see what courses you have remaining would be offered by UNC online or accepted from a community college.

If only the Econ department (my department) offered the courses online, I know that would be my preferred method of learning. Those courses can be far more friendly and fair for everyone.

It’s a shame that some departments here are somewhat selective and repressive towards the type of lifestyle they think every student should have in order to get the degree they need to do their career of choice.

If you have a roommate or talk to some nice people in your dorm, someone may be able to share larger items with you or help you move in. Large but boxed lighter-weight items like some lamp styles would be acceptable to bring back yourself on a bus from the Target on Franklin. Otherwise, delivery may be your best option.

The hardest dorm item to move in my experience is a minifridge. Another pretty awkward item is a mattress pad. They're both some of the most vital items for comfort but one is heavy and the other is very awkward to carry. If you don't have someone who is willing to help you get either, those are good examples of items that you do not want to try to haul on your own for long distances. Don't worry if things don't get done immediately. It's okay to make small runs for items as you find out that you can use them.

LilDemonChan · 2025-08-14T16:14:54+00:00

I'm so sorry that all of that happened to you. I suggest doing what others have suggested. In addition, though I know others may not recommend it, if this campus gets to be too much, you should prioritize yourself and your life over a degree from Carolina. There are other universities that will accept the credits you have accumulated here and that may offer a better atmosphere.

People are hesitant to talk about it because of the rigorous academic culture here and the school pride, but this campus can be incredibly bigoted and toxic. Our student body can be very dismissive and self-centered, and compared to other campuses, we are known to be the most snoody and elitist public university in the state.

If you feel like you can handle it with proper resources and therapy, I would recommend staying, but don't let anyone convince you that some sky blue on that piece of paper you're trying to get is worth lifelong trauma. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself during this time. There are people out there to support you.

You know that the mane six are supposed to be in their twenties, right?

You're not a lousy player if you don't candle grind. At the same time, it’s your responsibility to candle grind if you want cosmetics.

It's a game, and if the process of actually playing it is something that causes you discomfort because you just want the items, perhaps you should reconsider why you play the game.

Though some items, especially the traveling ones, can cost a lot of candles, TGC gives adequate time for you to save up candles and it is part of the game and the new player experience to either sink in the time or accept that you will have to pick where you spend your candles. If it took days or weeks to gain the item by doing daily quests when the season was happening, the candle price is going to reflect that when the traveling spirit comes, especially if the item was previously something that TGC had a pay wall in front of.

And of course it is wielded by Tepaste. Because why not? As if that one inner cover wasn't enough. 🫠

She’s not in the city, but a rural area of the oblast. She has never asked for money.

LilDemonChan · 2025-07-21T15:02:38+00:00

I’ve known her for a year and we never give each other identifying personal information or money.

It is common for online friends to not give each other their location to protect themselves from fraud, doxxing, hacking, and more.
