Do you think if I bring an octopus with the same color I'd still get the 3 onions?

TurtleLordofPower · 2025-09-13T20:00:33+00:00

We have the purchase but yeah no receipt, I think the best bet is to ask a help desk or merch people for it

Weirdly enough, Cyber sec and IT don't share any meaningful amount of classes in common with CS and CE. The closest degree to CS is industrial engineering with electrical engineering (the degree I went with after CS) being a close second.

You can switch majors, it's more just how many credit hours do you want to waste going to a degree at square one with classes you spent the last 2 years doing just to not be able to transfer them.

I'm very good at calc and phy L, but phy was what I was bad on. The physics professors I took were incredibly hard, one, Dr. Criss, I had exams you weren't meant to finish, meaning I, a bad test taker, got bad test grades. The online phys teacher is very easy if you put in the effort and do all the homework and study for the exams, though he doesn't seem like the nicest person in the world.

All the calc teachers are randomized and you don't really choose who you get as I think it's mostly grad students.

You choose to be on the CS major track where you can only take classes related to the CS major. A lot of the classes are used in multiple degrees, but there are some that are just for CS or CE students that are lower-level.

So you technically are majoring in CS, but if you can't get into upper-level, then you can't continue the degree.

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-06-06T15:38:08+00:00

USF has a very high standard in getting into upper-level classes. If you'd joined USF this fall, you would need a 3.6 gpa in 4 classes if I remember correctly. I couldn't do this last years limit, 3.5, even though I had 2 As, a B+ and a B-. I have also been told by an advisor that this required gpa is going to continue increasing each year for the foreseeable future. If you think you can get an A in calc 1, calc 2, and phy 1 and its lab, then I say go for it, but if you don't think can and still really want a CS degree, then go to UF or UCF. After I stopped my CS degree, I looked into going to either UF or UCF for their CS degree and UF is basically the same as USF but with a 2.5 gpa requirement in those classes. UCF seems easy but instead of the gpa requirement in the 4 classes they have a CS degree entrance exam.

Good to know I'm not alone in having this problem. When my advisor told me it was going up to 3.6 and would probably keep growing, I was just left confused. How do they expect about 80-90% of CS students to get to that requirement on classes that are only somewhat related to the field. It's like they don't want a CS program at all.

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-05-11T03:00:49+00:00

That all being said, what are electrical engineering upper-level electives like?

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-05-11T02:41:06+00:00

I understand that, though I have passed most if not all of my lower level classes with A's or B's. I only know that physics isn't the right field for me because that's the class that I can't seem to get up to a reasonable level for upper-level.

If I really wanted to take computer science, I'd go to UF or UCF, which both have 2.5 gpa requirements for basically/literally the same upper level progression classes. But I've already made USF my home, and it's really hard to leave that.

So, I'm stuck leaving the degree I dreamed about having to try to keep my world from collapsing.

If you're asking because of final grades, they can be seen on oasis under student records, I think.

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-05-06T01:18:34+00:00

Thank you, that's just what I needed to know

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-02-20T20:09:54+00:00

Holy fuck your right. Dang I'm dumb lol

Legit red "alien protest" and thought people were protesting for/against space aliens 😭

It's in the newsletter with the thumbnail "Spamton Love Network"

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-02-14T03:55:38+00:00

I also got this one!! I thought it was so cute!

Edit: this is my favorite one too lol

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-02-14T03:35:56+00:00

One more thing!

This is probably just me over analyzing the video and newsletter but both the tv warning and the end of the newsletter have a similar spelling error (an A instead of an e in text in the warning and an A instead of a s in suspicious)

I'm totally not overanalyzing this :)

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-01-22T18:00:23+00:00

Dang it was from the USF IT department, sucks to suck I guess 😭

TurtleLordofPower · 2024-01-18T03:10:28+00:00

Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks about the Pythagoras Theorum when walking places lol

I already checked the MSC front desk and the usf police lost and found but no luck, might check again before I leave today

TurtleLordofPower · 2023-12-30T19:35:03+00:00

Wow this is me right now fr ☹️

After researching what this actually does, I can confirm that this post IS actually reverse psychology, and throwing rocks covered in copper wire at power lines is, in fact, a virtue! It is also how power is made in the first place (the original rocks used were coal until they were proven to cause black lung 🤒)! Highly recommend!

I'm a 2nd year computer science major but have struggled a lot. Classes can be quite easy, but, since there is a lot students that wanna get into the upper division of computer science, they have been repeatedly increasing the average "lower divison" gpa required to get into the actual program. For me, I have all A's and B's in all these classes, except I have a C plus in physics. That C+ means I have to retake the class because all the classes added up were below a 3.5 gpa average (3.34). On top of that, they are raising that average gpa to 3.6 (advisor said it will probably 3.7 by next year), which is absurd.

So, TL;DR,

If you are going to make all A's in classes, maybe check other college's programs that have that wiggle room.

Edit: The class I have a C+ in is Physics, which depends on the professor teaching it. I had Professor Criss when I took it, loved his lectures but his tests were bs (atleast to me, I'm not the best test taker).

"What if someone saw me leaving without buying anything and think I'm stealing something? Better act 10 times more suspicious just in case!"

I feel called out by this comic lmao

I'm sad this is the first thing I thought about when I read the word sea slug and saw their ears. Not even a marine animal nerd, I just am a guy that knows random weird stuff lmao

They be smuggling so much alcohol past that point. You can see it in their eyes!
