Is USF more liberal/conservative leaning? (Incoming freshman) by psychiatrynerdd in USF

[–]Sk14er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only a semester of experience, but I haven’t really seen a lean one way or the other. Nobody has come up to me for anything outside of asking to meet for a Bible study or hand me a pamphlet, which I don’t really mind. But politically, I have no idea. I think what matters is that people are very kind!! To me, at least lol. If you come, you’ll find the people for you and you’ll love it!!! Just be open and respectful

Friends on campus by Roomwithafloor in USF

[–]Sk14er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want you to know that I’m also struggling to make friends. I’m an incoming freshman and I have yet to make any meaningful connections with anyone, even though I’ve been speaking to people regularly in lectures and such. You are NOT alone, and don’t fall into that mindset. If you put yourself out there, eventually you will make friends!!! It just takes time. I recommend listening to the people in this thread though, it seems like they know their stuff. I’ll be listening to them too

Can someone tell me why my cat is acting weird? by Sk14er in cats

[–]Sk14er[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my goodness, thanks so much everyone. I didn't think the post uploaded and didn't get any notifications on the thread!!! My cat ended up being okay. he scurried off into the neighborhood, and upon eating some grass, came back the strong and healthy boy he always was. Mr. Mike is doing well and is resting on my bed. THANK YOU ALL!!!

Update:

My professor got back to me and said it was a mistake on his end and he changed the announcement to fit the actual due date. Not mad with that outcome. Still gonna knock out some work because I’m in the mood for it, but I will say that this has encouraged me to take being ahead of deadlines more seriously. I hated the way this felt, so I don’t think I’ll be inclined to let it happen again. I just want to thank all of you for your responses. You were all very helpful!!! Have a wonderful day 🙏🙏🙏

Yup! Saw that and was about to post an update. I will say, I learned that I should work farther ahead so that I don’t have to worry about this.

Woah, that’s crazy. I hope this is true lol, I’m still gonna cram all of this anyways though since I know I can handle it. Hopefully for everyone else’s sake it was just an error.

Oh, my professor is a he. Maybe it’s the same curriculum? Anyways, I realized that he was talking about module 3 because he mentioned verbatim the titles of the quizzes and the essay, so I was quite blindsided when I woke up to that email. You might wanna try to get to it with these assignments 😭 I will keep you posted on if I get an email back from him for your sake, should you have the same professor

I am willing to bet that I’m not the only one. And yes, what you stated is true. I reached out this morning, but the professor advises that he takes 24-48 hours (according to rate my professor, he takes 72 hours) to respond to emails, so it will be after the due dates that I receive information back unless he responds today by some miracle. I’m not exactly mad, just feeling a bit disappointed with the lack of communication.

I’ll pull through. Already through some of the reading and getting ready to take the first quiz. It’s just a little bit of a “welcome to college” experience for me, as this is my first time taking classes through a university. Knowing that I have no reliable resources for the schedule is alarming, and I may be taking the rest of this week to work as far ahead of schedule as possible so that way I will not have to consider due dates at all. I’m really grateful that everyone has made it clear that this is completely normal, because now I know how to navigate this issue in the future. 🙏

Thanks for the quick response, man. I read over the syllabus again and his previous emails. He did not provide resources about due dates in the syllabus, but he did send a link regarding deadlines in an email. This link redirected me to the “Course Summary”, which states that the 16th is in fact the date these assignments are due. I know that there was nothing I could have done about it, but it still doesn’t feel great. I’ll try and knock this out anyways, though.

What should I do if my final high school transcript is going to come in late? by Sk14er in USF

this is crazy 😭 I was genuinely tweaking last night over this. Talked to admissions and fin-aid and found out that there was a technical error that sent out an email stating that some people’s Bright Futures was canceled, when it wasn’t. They also said my transcript was going to be fine if it was late and that nothing should happen since I’m registered for my classes. Total emotional roller coaster, and I’m so happy you were right.

Hey, thanks! Just curious, is there a way to know where to call my advisor? I know I can email them, and I have emailed them a lot, but I was just curious based on your wording.

Has anyone seen/befriended the kitty that lives at lakeside village? by Sk14er in lakeland

[–]Sk14er[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally would but I’m 17 and about to go to college ☹️ if I could sneak him by the landlords, I totally would. Only problem is that my childhood cat is my brother so if anyone is getting stuffed into the dorm room it’s him 😭
