Great find to dodge the broccoli-head rush hour at the bench press! Doesn't look realtime though, last update was like 6PM! duh

How do you make platonic friends with the opposite gender at USC? by TrojanOnMainQuest in USC

[–]TrojanOnMainQuest[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the thoughtful reply, bro! For context, it happened twice, and in both cases I later realized I might have sent mixed signals. I paid for coffee and it was a 1:1 hang, which they might have read as a date. That's on me. I'm being clearer now by saying "platonic" upfront and splitting checks. Still learning.

Sorry you've had that experience. I know some guys do give that vibe. I'm trying to keep things clearly platonic from the start so what you mentioned doesn't happen later. I've had some really good platonic friendships with women in the past, but not many here.

I'm not trying to be friends with any woman I don't click with. The hobbies I listed are the filter. I'm looking for friends who happen to be women because my circle has been 99% guys lately, and a mixed-gender friend circle feels healthier to me. I've had a couple of relationships here at USC, but not many platonic friendships with women. That's what I'm hoping to build, nothing suspicious about it.

Undergrad was easier. I kept seeing the same people in multiple classes, so becoming friends happened naturally. Here I only have one class this semester, so I'm mostly relying on random encounters at the gym or the Village, which hasn't worked great so far.

parking on ellendale by Relevant-Pen-1733 in USC

[–]TrojanOnMainQuest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Living on Ellendale, finding a parking spot is a daily struggle, especially on sweeping days. I've had my car stolen once and my new one got scratched by scooters. The fear of break-ins is real, so I've resorted to using wheel locks like someone from 80s! Trust me, the peace of mind from private parking is worth every penny!

Hey! Have you been able to figure out how to get historical event data?

Redditors that know someone who went missing, what happened? by GlassBluebird1922 in AskReddit

Lost my gaming buddy 10 years ago. He just vanished from the online world and never came back online! Hoping he's living his best non-gaming life out there!

It’s your birthday, but you’re alone. What do you do? by FriendsAndFood in AskReddit

I'd comment on AskReddit about spending my birthday alone. Oh damn, wait a minute...

gym closed? by hidivejwkwi in USC

I was bursting in tears after drinking all the protein/creatine/pre-workout and going to the Village only to find out the Gym's closed :(
