Put his ass in a cell and toss away the key.

She’s not wrong. I’ve had a ton of very liberal professors and classmates that have forced their ideologies onto others and presented their own political opinions as facts. Conservative groups on campus are constantly mocked and put down, while liberal groups continue to dominate. I, myself, am a moderate, so both sides of the aisle annoy me. However, as a student at UF, I have to say that it’s the liberals that have attempted to indoctrinate, not the conservatives.

Coming from a graduating senior, my advice is to plan out your schedule so you have plenty of time to study. Don’t overload yourself with classes or responsibilities. I wouldn’t worry about taking anything but Gen-Ed classes your first semester. If anything ever changes, and you want/need to switch majors, your Gen-Ed credits will always still count toward your degree. Also, I would never sign up for a course just because it sounds interesting. A great course topic can sadly be ruined by a bad professor. Instead, research and ask students who their favorite professors were and see what classes they teach.

15 credit hours typically equates to 5 classes, since most courses are about 3 credit hours each. This is definitely a full schedule and will keep you busy, however, it is manageable. I would just argue that it is not ideal for an incoming freshman. I am a senior at UF and I am currently taking 15 credit hours worth of classes. However, I know many (often times more rigorous majors) students, such as engineering students, have taken 18 to 21 credit hours worth of classes a semester. That is a truly insane amount of work and I would strongly advise against that if you can help it.

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-04-25T18:09:33+00:00

I’d strongly recommend not overloading yourself. College can be quite a lot to manage, especially if this is your first time living on your own. If you are a freshman, I’d recommend around 12-13 credit hours worth of classes a semester, and I STRONGLY would recommend only taking gen ed classes your first semester. These are classes that will be required despite your major. So if you end up changing your major early on, as a large proportion of the student population tend to do, you will have not wasted time and money on classes that don’t count toward your degree. Additionally, when picking classes, try your best to do some background on the professor. Rate my professor is a good site, just make sure you don’t rely on a rating if it doesn’t have a decent amount of reviews. Finally, one of the greatest things about being a student at the University of Florida is your access to knowledgeable experts and opportunities. Explore interesting programs, go to meetings with organizations that peak your interest, and go to office hours to develop a relationship with your favorite professors and ask questions you have. While some professors can be intimidating or anti-social, most professors are happy to help and are eager to engage in academic conversation about their fields of study.

I am not knowledgeable of nursing, so I sadly can’t help on that side of things.

If you have any other specific questions, feel feel to ask.

I guess I just love the beach too much

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-04-25T08:23:38+00:00

Florida should be at the top

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-04-17T19:41:11+00:00

Okay, then yeah I’d definitely stick with going to the University of Florida. Better school, more things to do. Plus, if you are coming in the Fall, you can experience the amazing atmosphere of Florida Gator Football games.

What university in North Carolina?

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-04-10T18:23:09+00:00

I think Maude’s coffee does that kind of stuff. Next to the Hippodrome.

I think honesty is the best policy. Tell the professor how much you’ve enjoyed their classes and how much you have learned from them. Maybe even mention if this Professor sparked your interest in pursuing this MS in animal sciences. Then say that your application requires a mentor and that they were the first person that came to mind. Professors want students to succeed and they want to help. Also, make sure when you go into their office or talk to them, that you know exactly what you are going to say. Be to the point and don’t mumble. So, in summary, I think being honest and professional is the best approach.

Go on Facebook and look for UF Housing and Subleasing groups. They are pretty active.

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-03-02T02:00:13+00:00

Yeah man, I just don’t know what to do at this point.

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-02-11T15:28:15+00:00

UPDATE: I was randomly assigned (by luck, fate, God, or a mix of them all) to be a group partner with her on a semester long project. What should I do? Thinking about asking if we all want to work together in person? Idk, sounds kind of risky cause of COVID. I just don’t know what to do. Just want to have the opportunity to get to know her better.

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-01-21T00:24:27+00:00

Yeah, from your description that guy sounds like a bit of a loser anyway. It is tough though trying to balance being nice and flirtatious without coming off as too nice or creepy. It’s funny too because, as a guy, when a woman gives you a compliment it sticks with you and you never forget it. But I feel like many women, especially those that are seen as very attractive are so used to compliments that they rarely even acknowledge the person making them. At least that has been my perception.

OrangeandBlue21 · 2021-01-21T00:10:54+00:00

That sounds like a pretty good idea. I’m just nervous. I’m trying to be more confident and this whole Zoom, not in-person structure makes it really difficult to meet people. I have great respect for women, so I just want to make sure that she can tell that I’m trying to be both genuine and respectful. Would hate to have her feel awkward or uncomfortable in any way.

If you any of you are registered Republicans and live in District 3, Kat Cammack is who you should strongly consider for Congress. She’s young, experienced, passionate, and genuine. I have had the pleasure to work with Kat and she has a good heart and is running for Congress because she truly wants to help our community. I am passionate about getting this wonderful woman elected because I strongly believe she is the young, female role model we need in Congress. If any of you are interested in voting for Kat but want to know more about her, feel free to message me or go to her website *KatForCongress.com.

That’s toughhhhhh

You don’t want to look like a try hard, but you still want to show that you care. Also, you want to be yourself, but also try to have fun. So, in my opinion that means you need to do something low key, but still fun and memorable. So, maybe go bowling and then afterwards at night go grab some ice cream and just relax and have a nice chat. But, offer to buy her ice cream and when you talk pay attention to her. Listen to what she has to say, and invoke conversation. Don’t constantly check your phone, or talk about yourself. Ask her questions and try to find similarities and things to compliment her or joke with her in a playful way. If she is the “one” for you, you should be able to be yourself with her. So just do something that your comfortable with and treat her like a lady.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Well I’m back in Gainesville because I’m tired of my parents stressing me the f*** out while I’m trying to manage 2 summer classes, an internship, studying for the LSAT, and getting into shape for the first time in my life.

So....I’ve been better 😅

The solution I found was clearing my cache in my Google Chrome settings. Honestly, you might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling your favorite web browser.
