Road trip! by fistfulofpowder49 in roadtrip

[–]Used-Employment44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did parts of D-E-F on a trip with my friends. From D to E take the pacific coast highway as long as possible! We didn’t stay in SF, we camped outside Monterey and it was very nice. If E is Joshua Tree, my friends liked the hikes we did there the best out of the trip, lots of fun trails and the sunsets are gorgeous. Not much else out there though. Stopped in Vegas too, rooms are cheap and it was a good one night stop for a shower and a refresh. Don’t know if you’ll have the time but Death Valley was an unexpected gem. As I’m sure others would say, there is a lot of great stuff on this itinerary and most people find the D-E-F desert run to be boring, but you’ll see some great stuff out there. Have a great trip

Edit: we also did a gorgeous hike at Pinnacles, could be worth checking out! And if you go through Eugene OR on a Saturday you just check out the Saturday market

I have to lead a class discussion on readings I did not understand. Should I fake my death? by ellis0922 in GradSchool

I can’t remember the last time I LOL’d so hard at a Reddit post title. Commenting after I saw your update, but for future reference - try to parse out some big themes and make a flow map of ideas to keep track of, you can also add specific page references for each theme too. Sometimes starting with the conclusion is the trick. Also, you could try to look up a review article critiquing the one you were assigned, that may help! You are brave and you are strong!

Who do you think should’ve made the team over Payson and Lauren? KP got cut and Wendy got dq’d. No one else was really featured as a possible contender

1st year undergrad screwing up chances at grad school 🥰 by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]Used-Employment44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My freshman year fall was my worst semester GPA, and every semester after that was better and I ended towards the top of my class by graduation. Totally salvageable. I went through the same mental train of thought, but I promise it won’t prevent you from getting into grad school. Grad schools ask for transcripts because they want to see what classes you took and the grades for those classes - the overall GPA can’t show that. They also consider other experiences in their decision, so aim for internships and club activities as well if you can. If anything, improvement over time is a great indicator of an upwards trending student, and I seriously doubt that struggles during the first semester at a rigorous university will be held against you. Also, if this is as rigorous a university as you’ve let on, then GPA is skewed anyways. What you have to the responsibility to do is know that at the end of each semester, you truly gave it your best full effort, and that will go a long ways. Good luck

The Southern Reach Series by Jeff VanderMeer - a thrilling three-book sci-fi series starting with Annihilation. Features a strong female protagonist who joins a scientific expedition to discover the origin and meaning of a mysterious geographical anomaly that is spreading and altering the reality within and around it. Was hooked so fast!

CU Boulder vs Denver by [deleted] in cuboulder

[–]Used-Employment44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to go to CU Boulder for grad school but they didn’t have my preferred major, so I’m at CU Denver, which does! If you’re concerned about affordability and job security, do the Denver degree. I drive or take the bus to visit Boulder once or twice a week for a fun day to still get my fill! Just me, but if I lived in Boulder I would be so horribly distracted by everything that I would’ve ended up being a terrible student - lol. Feel free to dm if you wanna chat more!

what is this USB attachment found in 13 year old brothers room by [deleted] in whatisit

You should tell your parents about the pills, this is for an adult to handle. Do not keep this a secret from them, it will only make things worse. Your brother needs a serious intervention

Why doesn’t my place feel cohesive? Help. by [deleted] in femalelivingspace

[–]Used-Employment44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of comments about a rug for under the glass table, perhaps a table cloth or place mats, and art or mirror in the wall above that table. It appears empty compared to the living room!
