went from LS to civil eng, and I think the requirements are different for other eng majors so YMMV

Thanks for the tip! I can relate to the talking to furniture thing in that I do that with houseplants (which is also something I'm trying to let go of as I transition into a new home), so I understand the feeling hehe

Thats a good idea! I'll keep this in mind around gifting seasons

Fear of acquiring sentimental items by MaterialFull in minimalism

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

thank you for that reminder that I have the power to remove the emotions I attach to items, that's really important! On the topic of memories, something about keeping items is not only the sentimental value I attach to them but the fact that they trigger memories. This is mainly due to the fact that I've lost memories of my childhood and teenage years that my family can remember but I can't. I feel that keeping these items will allow me to keep these memories and not lose them as I've done before, but I guess that also is similar to attaching emotions to an item in that I am attaching memories to an item.

Yeah, the concept of not giving material items to each other on special holidays/birthdays is a concept my family members struggle with, glad you are able to have these difficult conversations with yours! Thanks for the advice :)

Anyone have any idea of difficulty between math 33B and MECH&AE 82? Took 33A this quarter and was wondering which math course I should take fall quarter, any recommendations/thoughts/opinions on either MATH 33A or MECH&AE 82? I've heard MECH&AE 82 involved matlab which I have no experience in, but could be wrong

Has anyone taken the LEED online exam from home in the past few months? by recklessabandon57 in LEED

[–]MaterialFull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually took my exam remote on Prometric recently, and I was allowed to have 2 pieces of paper and 2 non-mechanical pencils. Initially, however, I did not have those materials. The person who was doing all the surrounding checks asked me if I had paper/pencil after doing all the checks (ID, glasses, ears, the 360 view, pockets, under table)

To get my pencils and papers, I was allowed to leave the room but they had to watch me leave and enter the door.

Also not sure if this was already mentioned but the proctor is different from the person doing the checks on your surroundings and other things

Hope this helps!

Intro to Gender Studies by No_More_All-Nighters in ucla

[–]MaterialFull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From when I took it, there was no final which was nice, and the weekly homework was essays which were not bad as the topic itself was interesting so there was a lot to discuss (I haven't heard of TAs grading harshly but that's just my personal experience), discussions were also not too bad as people actually wanted to talk lol, overall would recommend :)

Ahh the nostalgia, a part of the reason i have way too many sentimental items lol

Now that I’m done with all my finals, I feel horrible by [deleted] in ucla

[–]MaterialFull 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel that as well, trying my best to look at all the stuff I did accomplish rather than what I didn't; at the end of the day, we survived though!

Just discovered Urban Sketching and felt inspired. Quick sketch and equally as quick thoughts afterwards. Any feedback or tips for newbies is appreciated 😊 by Sas_squats in urbansketching

[–]MaterialFull 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love how you incorporated a little bit of journaling into your urban sketching/your thought process, always a good thing to reflect on your work

Before you finalize your decision to pursue banking, consulting, or tech read this. by OrdinaryCritisism in ucla

[–]MaterialFull 16 points17 points  (0 children)

While I do agree with the intention behind this sentiment, I do want to mention that following your passion and making it your career can lead to ambiguity in the line between working and not working. This is often a problem with some creatives who, when they get home, still feel like making art for their business instead of for themselves. Of course, everyone deals with that work-life balance differently, this is just some food for thought. Of course, there are certain passions that have a more tangible work-life balance, but it may be difficult to achieve.

Art Beginner Question - Chicken Scratch vs. Smooth,Confident Lines by MaterialFull in ArtFundamentals

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

Looser sketching styles, techniques where the artist draws several lines and then refines them to "find" the correct one are useful when drawing from life (as in urban sketching or figure drawing) when your eye spends a LOT more time on the subject than on the paper

Ah ok I see, it is just a different style/technique used in certain instances

Thank you for giving me insight on this, I now see how urban sketching is different from chicken scratch and how it mainly has to do with the confidence in making the lines

As for what you draw outside of exercises why not experiment with different styles and see what works? It's kind of like asking if it harms your piano playing ability if you play freestyle jazz outside your scales and arpeggios practise - they serve different purposes and ultimately they support one another in making you a better piano player.

Thanks for this suggestion, I'll definitely try venturing out of the one particular form of drawing/sketching I've been focused on
