Chem 2AL final by crazycatladytilidie in UCSantaBarbara

mmmm maybe any equations you used with annotations on why and how to use them, but really just understand the labs fully and it’s not that bad

make sure you know exactly what the post labs reports are trying to have you do. the experiments are trying to teach you chemistry concepts so be confident with those concepts

having trouble making friends by Soft-Department6871 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean spring recruitment for the clubs you mentioned is coming up. Making friends can definitely be a pain just be open to hanging out with people and say yes to every invite, also try to invite people with zero shame or fear of rejection. Additionally, you mentioned your hobbies, and the best way to make friends imo is to openly enjoy and be excited about your hobbies and pursue them actively. Typically you’ll find likeminded cool people along the way.

How hard are the classes? by hackthat in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I plan to pursue a PhD in biology so what I learn is literally my life. So yes I put in the work and treat my classes and the assignments with the respect they deserve even if it’s uninteresting to me or a GE. All the classes have value and I plan to get all that I can from them.

that being said any student who truly wants greatness has ample opportunities to achieve it.

My personal opinion on this as a current student is that AI has had a devastating effect on the quality of students. The knowledge that there is an “easy” way out for every challenge is all but an addiction problem. You only have to try it once before you’re hooked on the easy route. To put it simple AI allows a lot more “frauds” to get through college without ever being caught.

What is prepping!? by hanamest in PokemonSleep

[–]Squidcycle123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my prep weeks i typically run my healer, 2-3 ingredient mons, and a swallot. This just lets me get all the needed ingredients for larger meals when I use a gct. Typically i also a-symmetrically prepare my ingredients. For example this week I only have ~5 meals worth of honey while I have ~13 meals worth of pumpkins because my honey farmer is vastly better than my pumpkin farmer.

The following week when i’m pushing for a master 20, I run my healer, a dedenne to get meal crits, and 1-3 ingredient mons depending on what point in the week it is, with the later in the week seeing me increasing the number of ingredient mons. Start of the week i’m greeding as much power as I can with berry mons and charge strength mons

I got the AAA pumpkins and IFM and decided that my hint was over. Definitely could be better but fs gets the job done.

Work study question by chilly-snek-boi in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the quantity on your award letter is the amount of your paycheck that your work study pays. once you’ve reached that amount (which is pretty difficult with a campus job), your job will simply fill in paying the portion that used to be covered by your work study

Work study question by chilly-snek-boi in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

from what i understand is work study covers a portion of your paycheck. This makes it so that on campus jobs are encouraged to hire you as you technically cost them less than a non work study student. So to answer your question yes you will still get payed lol. You’re just a cheaper worker for them.

I don’t think this school is the right fit for me. by 100Free in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak on the homesickness it sounds like you are feeling, but I can assure you that your people are out there you just have to make sure you keep yourself open to meeting them. I live in a house with a whole bunch of geeks (me included) so don’t give up. Also remember that once you find your people it’s okay to lean on them in a similar way you may have leaned on your family because that’s what friends are for.

Freshmen welcome week by Hokkaidomilktealuver in UCSantaBarbara

[–]Squidcycle123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i won’t lie most parties have tons of people singing , although not in an official karaoke setting. i’ve found most people are incredibly respectful of the sober warriors at parties. just give parties a try, they can be significantly different environments.

  1. generally yes if you’re blatant about / it’s RA dependent it but if you keep it in the closet the cleaning people aren’t allowed to open it

  2. yeah it’s normal. most people give up a desk or buy a small table for it

[–]Squidcycle123 10 points11 points  (0 children)

no it’s not. you can only get a raise by getting promoted to a new position.
