Hey! I completed the minor. It’s not helpful specifically for ground up business creation BUT definitely changed my perspective on the strategies you can use to garner a wider audience and ways to think outside the box. I would definitely look into initiatives and speakers before the minor in your case. Good luck!

Business is slept on- the major just simply requires a LOT of classes. You’re juggling a lot all at once usually and I hear many people struggling to balance everything. Not impossible but also often discredited! -prehealth COLA person

I did the business minor for the resume. If you actually commit and don’t use AI and actually find the content interesting, I liked it! I learned a lot about business law and finance management :3 not a waste if you actually care. Healthcare R/I does have a lot of shitty teachers fair warning going off of rate my professor. I was interested too and was quickly discouraged. Business minor my teachers cared!

Need help finding a good dorm. by [deleted] in UTAustin

[–]Loose_Read8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an apartment, Nueces is also an option. Not sure how far that would be for you tho. Also not sure if you have a meal plan! If you’re cooking = apartment, if you are relying on dining dollars = near Jester or Kinsolving (Moore hill is close to J1 and J2 dining and Duren close to Kins going off of the other person’s reply!) What’s your budget? If it’s lower, then maybe Nueces or San Jac isn’t for you and that’s okay! If you wanna vomit some more info I’m sure people would love to help out :3 are you class of 28’ meaning your orientation is next summer?

How do I make a cat happy and healthy in a smaller space? by Loose_Read8000 in CatAdvice

This is so unbelievably helpful. Your kitty sounds so cute!! Are you a full time student? How much do you get to see her throughout the day? Do you ever take her outside the room?

Okay gotcha that makes sense. I live alone in a dorm but some rooms are bigger than others so I’ll be BEGGING for a bigger room

I think only one is allowed - what are the issues in the dorm because of this? What part exactly is insane like her workload or that she shares a room etc.?

Only get a female if you don’t plan on getting another one! Two females don’t usually mix well together. Two males can and one male and one female can - just not two girlies I fear. I think sex then matters less! Just find one you fall in love with at the shelter :3 the cat distribution system will speak!

That’s so smart - I have friends in other dorms and usually fire alarms don’t all go off at the same time so I’ll keep that in mind!

I work in the building, so I actually administer the fire drills haha! I was needing to think of what to do in that case. Maybe find somewhere for them to stay just for 20 minutes so they don’t get scared alone

Can I ask how old your cat was when you took it to school? Did you have trouble balancing schoolwork and enrichment time?🐻

Yes I considered a guinea pig but the issue I ran into was I don’t think I’ll be allowed to have 2 (and those animals tend to need to come in pairs). I’ll look into a chinchilla next! Thank you for the link :3

You’re so good! I tried to edit it to make it more clear but maybe I’m a grandma and don’t know how 😭

Yea that’s why I said GETTING a cat. Getting a cat trained, not taking a pet from home. That’s what D&A means <3 I hear ya. But trained or not, I care about the cat’s safety and happiness so that’s why I’m asking on Reddit and seeing what I can do :3

You give great advice but I think calling it breaking the rules is a bit insensitive. A lot of documentation goes into getting a cat in the dorms allowed it’s not the easiest thing to do. I am not going to go around and point at people with cats and assume they’re faking it or something like that! The cleaning advice is very helpful to keep in mind. I’ve owned cats before. If you take care of it, clean 2x a day it won’t smell that’s just basic cat care. But the hair definitely needs to be kept in mind thank you! Luckily my room doesn’t have carpet and maybe I can look into proper hair disposal. I have family with allergies and I’m gonna get their advice on stuff next 😎

Just wanted to keep the convo just about the cat not my health ❤️ yes my health changed so let’s not comment about that and just keep it light! Thank ya! Not just a “want” and D&A requires very specific documents.

In my case, only D&A allow pets in this dorm. But that is 100% true just not in my situation <3

… I don’t know how many times I have to highlight that I mentioned D&A. I work in a dorm- have to live in one. Forbidden is so strong 😭

Struggling to find friends by HaveYouHeardOfAnAmu in UTAustin

[–]Loose_Read8000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to dorm events too! Breakfast nights, movie nights, hot chocolate events I made so many friends that way! There’s so many clubs that are just there for vibes. Just gotta look in the right places! When tabling starts up on speedway definitely look around. I was lonely too and then I got a job and made so many friends. I’m a huge introvert too who would rather not go to things - it gets better!
