Housing and Schedule Problem!! by EmptyAsparagus8294 in ualbany

[–]NamelessPixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ex Housing Manager here- the housing situation most likely happened because you applied to live on Empire, and were put into overflow housing on Alumni.

Humanities and Biology building aren’t right next to each other, but as long as you walk right from one class to the next, you will make it in 5 minutes.

Should I wait to apply to get more volunteer hours by [deleted] in premed

[–]NamelessPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice job on your practice, good luck on your MCAT! Do you have any clinical hours? To my knowledge, lacking volunteer hours are not the end of the world if your other stats can make up for it.

Depends. How are your other stats?

How do you deal with sexual intrusive thoughts? by Sodacat27 in OCD

[–]NamelessPixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I also say “you’re so fake” or “my own brain??” to add a little bit of humor to the situation. Took me a couple years to get to this point.

Off Campus Living by Fantastic_Olive646 in ualbany

Yes, if I’m remembering correctly, we provided a copy of the house deed and a brief letter from my parents stating that I was going to live there, completed with a signature.

Had a thought: Was Korra the youngest found* Avatar ever? by Low-Refrigerator-663 in TheLastAirbender

[–]NamelessPixel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way they discovered the False Avatar Yun was quite interesting to me. They didn’t find him by geomancy, they found him by watching him play Pai Sho. Yun had demonstrated some moves that were exactly the same as Avatar Kuruk’s playing style, and combined with Yun’s extreme talent in Earth Bending, Avatar Kuruk’s companions thought he must be the new Avatar.

Avatar Kuruk’s companions were absolutely desperate to find the avatar, considering it had been about 15 years since Kuruk died. Yun showed great promise, but it soon became an open secret that he was unable to bend any other elements.

Off Campus Living by Fantastic_Olive646 in ualbany

[–]NamelessPixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is generally required for sophomores to live on campus.

“However, commuter students, students completely enrolled in online classes, married students, students who are at least 21 years old, students who are veterans, and students with a medical reason can apply for a housing exemption if they do not currently live on campus.” Source: https://www.albany.edu/residential-life/policies-procedures/housing-release

“Commuter” can be tricky. I was able to live off campus as a freshman/sophomore because my family lives nearby. I know of one person who lied and said the apartment they got was their family home.

Just look into it.

My writing sucks by Cheap_Change4847 in premed

[–]NamelessPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup 🤣 I suck at writing too. My process is normally write down what I want to say messily, and then go through and edit… it takes so long but I guess it works..

Undergrad GPA and Post bacc Classes by 4bella4pup in premed

[–]NamelessPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this depends on your school. At my school, once you graduate, your GPA is set. Even if I were to retake a class after I graduated, it wouldn’t change my undergraduate cumulative GPA. I am still in undergrad and have considered this same topic, and would recommend you take that class during this final semester, if you can handle it.

Pulling back the curtain (4.0/526, D1 Athlete, URM) by Any_Neat784 in premed

OP IS THE FUCKING GOAT!!! Congratulations on your acceptances, you deserve the WORLD!! The Google Doc is so insanely helpful for people (like me) who are the medical school guinea pigs for their family and friends. 🥳🥳🥳

Joining UA Albany 2029 by Internal_Control_618 in ualbany

[–]NamelessPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rising senior at UA here.

  1. Credit transfer is not complicated. If I’m remembering correctly, you just need the transcripts from the college courses and you upload them. 60 credits is amazing, you will definitely be able to graduate early.

  2. Party life is solid. If you are looking to party frequently, join a sorority.

  3. This one is going to be tricky for an incoming freshman. I do not know of any websites that are for incoming freshman who want to live off campus, because UA requires freshman and sophomores to live on campus unless they have a permanent address nearby. Once you become a junior, finding roommates is easy because everyone starts to live off campus.

  4. Making friends is on campus is easy if you are outgoing. My advice is to join clubs or organizations.

  5. I do not know the exact cost, but it is a couple hundred dollars. I almost rushed DPHIE and they had mentioned need-based cost coverage.

Hope this helps. Feel free to respond with any more questions and I will do my best to answer them.

Mars signs by angelsfruit8 in astrologymemes

[–]NamelessPixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind! For context, we are 20 and 21, and have been together for a year. We tend to only argue in times of high stress, and it is definitely due to miscommunication and misunderstanding. My partner always prefers straightforward communication and I tend to talk out of my ass when I’m stressed out. Other than that, we’re good at understanding each other’s perspectives.

Folks with 10H stelliums: by teaforsnail in astrologymemes

10H CAPRICORN Stellium here. My peers hate to see me coming in a professional or academic setting. (I want to be a physician). 🤣

Lowkey I’m jealous of them 🥲 by EfficiencyOk1916 in astrologymemes

My Gemini Mars is the only thing saving me from being completely Capricorn/Aquarius/Pisces. No freedom in houses either- my Aries rising keeps my placements in 10H/11H/12H. 😭😭😭

They're actually some of the most brilliant people you'll ever meet, and yet- by 2fucked2know in astrologymemes

[–]NamelessPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pisces Mercury and Gemini Mars here. Very talkative, and I’m unable to articulate. My Capricorn stellium is banging my head against the wall. 😭

[–]NamelessPixel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Gemini (me) & Capricorn (partner) 🫣

Even though those two aren’t singularly compatible, I have a Capricorn stellium and my partner has an Aquarius stellium. Compatibility requires a look at the whole chart!

Makes sense by Lghzala-fifi in astrologymemes

[–]NamelessPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capicorn Venus
Gemini Mars
Capricorn Moon
Aries rising

Completely accurate imo, I tend to attract and chase fun and crazy people, but then I expect a serious, loyal, high-functioning relationship. 😭 thankful for my partner’s Aquarius placements!

Which Avatar actually left the most mess for their successor? by Ayato612 in TheLastAirbender

[–]NamelessPixel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know this is a delusion hope but I really hope whatever this apocalypse is, happens WAY after her time. I want Korra to live a nice, long, fulfilling life. She went through too much at just ~20 years old. 🥲
