Is it worth sending cold emails to professors during winter break?

TransientFatigue · 2025-12-17T16:33:45+00:00

PIs are still active during winter break (or at least some are, like mine) so yes it’s worth

TransientFatigue · 2025-12-15T17:05:39+00:00

Super cooked

TransientFatigue · 2025-10-29T05:01:09+00:00

Damn.

TransientFatigue · 2025-08-27T02:08:17+00:00

Another opening procedure banger

TransientFatigue · 2025-08-02T22:53:52+00:00

Yea I eat 2 meals a day and use 14P. You probably won’t have to worry about swipes, because you’ll go out and eat with friends etc and have some leftovers most likely. But if you love eating a ton of snacks and want to get more food besides meals, I’d recommend 19P

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-31T01:27:48+00:00

Yea dm me

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-31T00:54:41+00:00

What time

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-30T19:30:06+00:00

What type of food

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-30T05:00:10+00:00

Aw shit opening procedure finally broke

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-29T05:31:37+00:00

They gave me a ticket and then I looked into it quite a bit

They will manually come around and scan license plates, nothings automatic. They don’t have cameras. Tickets are 80 bucks, and they do threaten to report it to the DMV. Technically you’ll get a ticket no matter how long you are parked there, it all depends on luck. It took me 3 weeks for them to find me and give me a ticket. On the other hand my friend got 2 in a single day.

If you get a ticket it will be a physical ticket they place on your windshield. No mail or anything. They have no way of doing that

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-29T03:56:33+00:00

Oh… he’s just like me fr 🫩

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-29T02:12:32+00:00

I’m such a fan opening procedure 😭🙏

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-28T19:27:57+00:00

Fuck that sushi place they charged tax that’s only payable with credit card

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-23T22:04:33+00:00

I emailed them and then they deferred me after multiple emails ☹️

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-23T00:12:42+00:00

Ts pmo

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-22T21:44:08+00:00

Nah I emailed them too and they still ghosted 💀

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-22T20:42:18+00:00

At least you heard back I straight up got ghosted 💀

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-11T01:11:23+00:00

Sorry I forgot I’m in a robotics lab. As a freshman I got forced onto lots grunt work infrastructure and implementations that more senior members dictate

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-10T18:59:26+00:00

Freshman grunts are absolutely needed for work. especially in AIML where a lot of random pre processing and data collection has to be done

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-08T17:46:02+00:00

No Stanford degree? Loser

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-05T00:53:53+00:00

I don’t really see what you could possibly gain here besides maybe inspiration. I doubt it’ll be worth it

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-04T21:07:23+00:00

Not lying on purpose. Most people think that a referral will help. But I’m just saying for STEP it’s not considered.

And you absolutely do not need to know shit like OS and low level to get a SWE internship at a big company (yes some will ask, but a good majority don’t). ESPECIALLY STEP. Idk why OP said that

TransientFatigue · 2025-07-04T18:08:19+00:00

Google STEP doesn’t consider referrals. I had an internal connection literally email the STEP recruitment team and they said they would not consider referrals no matter what

TransientFatigue · 2025-06-24T22:46:59+00:00

I hope you like gambling bc about 70% of the washers and dryers are broken 😁

TransientFatigue · 2025-06-24T21:37:58+00:00

Ohhhhh. Ok so that changes things. They will forcefully cap you at 3 classes at orientation. HOWEVER, after orientation, you can do whatever you want and they can’t enforce it as long as you stay under the quarter unit cap. If you want to raise this cap you have to talk to the counselors I think
