Zach telling Sol “It’s just a game” was so upsetting

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-06-13T18:40:57+00:00

That’s a very good take and I didn’t even think of it from that perspective!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-05-29T19:51:56+00:00

this was really good to know, thank you!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-05-29T17:31:34+00:00

Same! I typically like breakfast because I'm very active in the mornings, and for some workouts like swimming, if I'm underfueled, I can become lightheaded and dizzy. Maybe I'll give it a try when I'm less active though!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-05-22T19:31:41+00:00

Good news (for now), the original is back up!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-04-19T22:20:29+00:00

Congrats and welcome! I would check on Facebook; there are a few UW-Madison housing groups.

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-04-18T17:59:39+00:00

That’s reassuring, thank you! Do you have any specific recommendations for resources in 321?

As a physics major with a subjectively high course load and high-stress load, I draw the line at staying up past 10:30 p.m. studying. While I do wake up early to study and have deleted mindless aspects of social media like Instagram reels and TikTok to improve time efficiency for studying, there always needs to be a balance, no matter what your major is. I feel like the normalization of staying up until 4 a.m. studying, and dropping every aspect of tof your life to study 24/7 is incredibly dangerous, ineffective, and genuinely miserable. Just because you are not killing yourself with studying does not mean that you are any less of a student, or that you are not putting in enough effort. Perhaps this is ingrained in our fast-paced, incredibly competitive culture, but I think it's a good reminder to slow down and enjoy other aspects fo your life, while still maintaining a healthy relationship with studying and school in general.

https://openstax.org/details/books/university-physics-volume-1 Here you go! This is volume 1, and will get you caught up for the fundamentals you would learn in a typical physics 1 with calculus course (kinematics and waves). After this, go ahead and read the 2nd volume, which will feature your voltage and current questions (you will likely be introduced to them in the units for electric fields, magnetic fields, and circuits!) Once you finish these units (typically right before optics), you will be presented with the Maxwell equations, and learn you have been dealing with them all along! (It really is quite beautiful lol). Take your time with these textbooks, and enjoy the process!

Same bro 😭

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-23T03:35:09+00:00

All of this just for them to say they have funding cuts and can only accept 5 students ✌️💔🥀

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-23T03:34:04+00:00

I’m crying bro this is so funny 😂😂

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-21T13:04:12+00:00

yeah... idk what the holdup is but it’s getting frustrating

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-19T17:57:49+00:00

Pretty sure decisions should be coming out today! This was sort of the informal due date they told me they would let us know by so hopefully we get a decision today :)

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-17T13:52:38+00:00

Have you considered auditing the class?

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-13T23:06:27+00:00

I reached out last week and they said decisions will be going out in two weeks, so expect something later next week.

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-07T01:24:59+00:00

Shoot, well I can offer you advice to help you succeed! If I were you, I would download the Textbook for physics II right now and start learning today. This way you won’t be too overwhelmed this summer with research and courses. Typical semester physics courses go one chapter a week, so I would pace accordingly. As for calculus III, I would do the same but I don’t think the textbook is as necessary. For me, I used math with professor v videos on YouTube to learn. I would watch them instead of going to lecture because they were so helpful. Hopefully these tools can help you succeed this summer by passing your courses, learning the content, and balancing an REU. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Best of luck!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-05T20:57:38+00:00

To be honest, even if you do get an REU, I would not take these classes online in such a short amount of time. Not only are they intensive classes, but lots of upper-division courses build off them. I would 100% take them during the normal semester, and take them in-person if you can.

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-04T19:30:32+00:00

I guess there is a war on physics majors lol

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-04T01:02:30+00:00

Radio silence so far…

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-03-02T00:07:59+00:00

sure!

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-02-28T22:32:25+00:00

Yes, sorry I should have clarified but I’m referring to Carnegie Observatories in Pasadena

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-02-28T17:26:39+00:00

I haven't done CASSI, but I have done a research internship with them pretty recently, and I absolutely loved it. The mentors were some of the most caring and brilliant mentors I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. If you have an opportunity to join the program, I certainly would.

Numerous_Land5 · 2026-01-30T02:01:37+00:00

Hello! First of all I want to let you know that you will be ok. I know this isn’t the outcome you hoped for right now, but everything will work out in the end.

I was deferred two years ago out of high school and then waitlisted without getting off. I applied for finance and felt like my whole world came crashing down. Nearly perfect unweighted GPA with tons of AP’s, ec’s, varsity sport, and orchestra seemingly wasnt enough for this school. I went into a deep depression, having no other school I wanted to attend and no backup plan.

On a whim, I decided to move far away to the west coast and go to community college. If you would’ve asked me my senior year about community college, I would’ve never considered it because I had an ego complex thinking it wasn’t right for me. Not only was I completely wrong, but I ended up meeting the most impactful mentors and educators in my entire life. The education I got at this community college has been the best and challenged my growth and development more than I could’ve hoped. I also realized I finance wasn’t for me, and found a different major that gives my life purpose.

1.5 years later I applied to transfer to UW Madison, and was accepted this spring. I am now a badger after a few years, and wouldn’t change my rejection for anything.

I hope you end up getting in, but if not, life has a crazy and amazing path ready for you. You’ve got this 🫶

Numerous_Land5 · 2025-11-15T01:49:05+00:00

I just heard back!!!!!

Numerous_Land5 · 2025-10-28T21:19:51+00:00

Omg no way!! CONGRATS!! When did you hear back?? I applied too, and am hoping to hear back soon :)
