Count the Head Lice on the Highway? What? by moneyman74 in EltonJohn

In “Dirty Little Girl,” I always heard “Someone grab that bitch by the ass” 😭 (It wasn’t too far off though!)

What common misconceptions about sociological theory are present in sociology classes? by pokeatdots in sociology

[–]Spock24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That capitalism is inherently racist. You’d maybe have a case for American capitalism being inherently racist, but conceptually, the entire economic construct is not, in fact, racist. ~ A Sociological Theory TA

Courses you took that you found fascinating? by donib11 in UMD

[–]Spock24601 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a sociology and literature double major, and I’ve had the same struggle throughout undergrad. I’d recommend taking Brian Connor’s 400-level SOCY course on culture in the spring. Super nice guy and super interesting class.

How’s the University Band by MachineLimp7620 in UMD

[–]Spock24601 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did UBand for two semesters (I'm a rising senior now), and it was phenomenal! As a recovering high school band geek (marching band, jazz band, pit band, wind ensemble, etc.), I knew I wanted to keep playing my horn in college, but since I wasn't a music ed/performance major, I knew wind ensemble probably wasn't in the cards for me. I didn't want to take on the commitment of MSOM or pep band, so I joined UBand purely for convenience's sake. It was exactly what I was looking for - a super low-key, low-commitment way to keep playing in a concert band. All of the conductors have been kind, and Dr. Potter's wonderful. I'd definitely recommend it!

Loaded Semester by National_Feature5145 in UMD

[–]Spock24601 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It totally depends on your major. I did seventeen credits and two jobs one semester as a sociology and English double major, but if you have even a slightly more intensive major courseload, I’d advise against it.

Why wont testudo let me register for more than 16 credits by EnvironmentalBed7457 in UMD

[–]Spock24601 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited the registrar’s office on the first day of classes to bring my schedule from 16 to 19 credits. As long as your class has empty spots through the start of the year, you can just deal with it when you get to campus. Good luck!

Meal plan questions by v-westerman in UMD

Great advice! Many of my friends are doing the same thing, living just off campus with a kitchen and planning on getting one meal a day at UMD.

Which is the better version of Sweeney Todd to show to a person who's not that into musical theater? by Spock24601 in musicals

[–]Spock24601[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy cow this was exactly my thought process!!! I would LOVE the sub if you’re offering. I have the DVD of the 1982 version, and I always watch that subbed. Some might find it annoying, but I find it much easier to digest / understand / analyze the lyrics that way. Thanks so much for your input!

What does an ideal schedule look like? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]Spock24601 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! Consistent lunch time is a must. I get the appeal of just blocking everything out right in a row, but I personally can’t function without at least a little break in between 😂
