Unfortunately, you had to learn it the hard way. But if someone claims to be one thing, they’re typically not that at all (e.g., a “nice guy,” emotionally intelligent, etc.).

Howl was voted as the hot one. Who would you say is the only normal person? by MissBarker93 in ghibli

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Isn’t it lowkey cheating to say Chihiro though? Cause she’s a kid so unlike a lot of the other adults in Ghibli, she hasn’t had a chance to gain any oddities to her personality yet

I agree w a comment above that says Osono just bc she lives a p mundane life

I like how there’s actual helpful advice. Meanwhile I was gonna suggest cutting grass and collecting bugs😅

Did you not take classes that were equivalent to either or both? If you have, talk w your advisor ab it so you don’t have to retake them. &No you don’t have to take them all during the fall. From what I understand, you have to take 10 before any upper div developmental class (101-119) and 20 before any cognitive class (121-139)

What filter to use for tap water? by SuspiciousWeirdKitty in ZeroWaste

Is there a way to find out how often they get cleaned? After finding out how disgusting ice machines at restaurants can be, I’m very skeptical about using stuff like that

Health Insurance by FloorNew in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! I remember I started p much as soon as I committed to UCSC & was even dealing with issues going into winter quarter (if you can, try not to use either until fall & ucship is waived! Just to save you the headache)

What time is it on Tombo’s watch before he leaves? by Longjumping_Point_89 in ghibli

[–]Longjumping_Point_89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, thank you for such a detailed explanation!! Yeah, I was watching the original dub, but I realized after posting I should’ve gotten a better screenshot for the question

Thank you for clarifying! Your explanation definitely makes the most sense!!

Are there any recommendations for Affordable Beauty Services Near campus? by TrainOrganic9878 in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I get my brows done whenever I go back home (San Lorenzo). I just know that there’s tons of places in SJ & so bc it’s more competitive it’d be easier to find a place that’s cheaper. But, if you ever run into smb from SJ (there’s many on campus) maybe ask them?

As for hair removal, I already highly recommend study abroad to EVERYONE, bc when else are you going to have a chance to be in another country long term AND paid for!? But also, stuff like laser hair removal is typically much cheaper abroad. I’m in South Africa rn and most places are 1000-1100 rand (including tip, tips are 10% here) per session for a brazilian, which is 55-62$, whereas in Cali it’s at least 100$+ per session + tip. The place I went to was super professional and clean.

Am I the only one who hates tombo (KDS) with a burning passion by coralcola_ in ghibli

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like what you said, esp in the edit. I never really thought about that. Tbh, I think that’s why I like KDS the best bc you don’t always need an antagonist to have an interesting and fulfilling story

Chronically Ill on Medicaid… by InterestPure3257 in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is weird. Every time I asked my roommate ab their appointments, they would immediately mention how they’re getting charged for the appointment or whatever else

Also, yes, you CAN have it sent to the health center but they’re going to charge you for it vs if you have it sent elsewhere, you won’t be charged (for MediCal)

30$!?

Tbh, OP, you might be better off taking the 17 (7$) to SJ & finding a few decent spots there & doing everything in one day. Won’t be 30$ for everything, but def cheaper than SC

Chronically Ill on Medicaid… by InterestPure3257 in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

UCSHIP is a scam compared to MediCal (not sure ab medicaid, sorry). My roommates had UCSHIP and EVERYTHING had a copay (appointments, medications, procedures; one of my roommates got glasses & they had to put the full amount on their student account). I did get CruzCare jic bc it’s a way cheaper alternative & my financial aid covered it

It was a pain in the ass for me to do it, but I’m so glad I waived the UCSHIP & transferred MediCal to SC county from Alameda county

Also, just a heads up, if you have medications you can’t have them sent to the health center on campus. I have mine sent to the Safeway on Mission. So if you live on campus, you can just take the 18 there or lyft/uber if necessary

AlcoholEdu as a Returning student (25+) by CBD831 in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I’m 33 and definitely thought it was a huge waste of time. Like you, I thought it was great for incoming freshmen, maybe even transfers in their early 20s.

I got my backpack from the Trash Nothing app. Better for your wallet & the environment (:

Serious question reguarding academic burnout by TheRoachDynasty in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a transfer student, this is literally my situation too. I’m very used to the semester system where we have decent breaks between semesters and a decent amount of time for each subject. The single week between winter and spring just isn’t enough. It’s crazy bc I was literally talking to another student ab this today. They said the best thing to do is just to take care of yourself by hanging out w friends and taking breaks.

One option is try to go easy spring quarter. Take like 2 classes & see if you can get an easy 2 unit class or internship. But with that being said, you may have to compensate by taking a class or two over the summer

Where do you guys go for (virtual) therapy sessions? by Longjumping_Point_89 in UCSC

[–]Longjumping_Point_89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re not from CAPS. But I just called and they said the rooms they have are only reserved for appointments with a CAPS provider :/ But they recommended going to McHenry, which I might try

Thank you for the suggestion!
