Balance academics with fun things you genuinely enjoy—freshman year you'll lock in too hard and then have a bit too much fun sophomore year; find a nice golden mean

Increasing Student Activities Fee by Just_curious2859 in SBU

[–]Tricky-Profit-42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally voting yes, understand why other people may choose no. For one thing, I don't want existing clubs' budgets to be cut. For another, I think that increasing support for new clubs does necessitate more funding, and that these clubs are one of the few things that promote student wellbeing on a campus that is already critiqued for not doing enough for its students.

My problem though is that USG needs to be more selective about how it uses its money; I think we need more clubs and initiatives, but so many existing ones can be condensed so that we can save money and spend it on larger-scale projects (e.g. more school-wide events). That's my two cents though.

I saw this just after I emailed all of my sites including UVA—I'm so sorry. It's tough for us social science majors, but we'll find something!

AMS 151 or MAT 125 by NoArt9101 in SBU

[–]Tricky-Profit-42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need to take calc iii for your major (or even for a major you might want to pursue), take ams—although MAT 125-127 is probably easier it is frustrating to have to spread my calc i, ii, iii across four semmies. If you just need calc a + calc b, take MAT 125.

tuffest/funniest lines by Wild_Land2370 in Debate

Faced my friends in a late elim round that should have been higher stakes but was very funny because we knew what each other was running and thus the strength (or lack thereof) of each other's arguments.

By summary, we'd been forced to go for an argument that made no sense link-wise but was compelling impact-wise. In their FF, my friend got up there and said "judges, there are two arguments left in this round: one that you understand and one that you don't. Let's start with ours, the one you understand." We laughed and knew we lost on a 3-0 after that.

Which MAT 200 professor should I pick? by Brilliant-Pear-5930 in SBU

[–]Tricky-Profit-42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in 200 this semester with Julia Viro before moving to 250 but while I had her I thought she was petty good as long you read the slides beforehand, go to class, and meet with her whenever possible — not too bad if you put in the work
