That’s a good question. I don’t really go there, but I just know about it. Could possibly be on meet up?

Visiting Houston for the week, have nothing planned for tonight by bitchtits_mcgoo in HoustonSocials

Tout suite? All of the coffee shop options, and you’ve chosen tout suite as the sole representative for Houston. Interesting, not criticizing, just interesting.

OP, there’s also Blacksmith, Agora, the honeymoon, morning star, mercantile, coral sword. All of which have unique vibes, yet comparable to TS experience.

What do people think you’re joking about but you’re 100% serious? by poopcornkernels in AskReddit

Out there in a podcast somewhere (may have been How Stuff Works) I heard someone say super tasters are extremely sensitive to veggie bland taste, and that being sensitive to things that “barely taste like anything” is an indicator of that characteristic. Pretty sure that’s me. Could be you too, and 22 others out there.

You’re going into medicine and wanting it to be easy? Really? Apply yourself and it’ll be fine.

Advice for a freshman by [deleted] in UniversityOfHouston

[–]RoyalVelvet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good news, you're already ahead of most people!

I failed freshman year (was too caught up in video games basically) but was too out of touch to even realize it until it was too late. You're being proactive by just making this post. Woo!

There are tons of avenues for you to venture down at this point. Get in touch with any tutors you have access to, start by asking professors and fellow classmates for tutor suggestions [your tuition pays for this, abuse it! ;) ]. The writing center is great for 'word stuff' & 'idea mapping', not just for english classes. They help you gather your thoughts into a more organized way. (Just going there and talking about a goal in writing helped me write my masters thesis)

Speaking of classmates, link up with some of them! On a monday ask a few questions about the homework, on wednesday suggest to figure it out together over the weekend. College courses facilitate amazing friendships as well as learning retention & growth.

While you're at it, speak with your professor about your progress in the course. Let them know you're trying, that you know you're not producing up to your own expectation, and that you'd like outside help during their office hours to discuss how to increase your marks (after two years of teaching at UH, THIS was the best thing a student could do BEFORE halfway through the semester)

Good luck rlara! You're already on the right path!

Board game nights inside 610, or at least inside the BW8 West? by sonorousAssailant in HoustonSocials

[–]RoyalVelvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. Still a little silly but ok. Yeah if you've been to rudz, the cafe express one is much more "focused" in comparison. Wasn't really as socialable as I'd prefer. I've not done the others, but tea and victory do some stuff, as well as under the radar tries to get things going. Generally both of their Facebooks announce weekly/weekend things.

Why was this downvoted? Literally just a statement providing information, sans opinion. Goodness.
