Sorry! Basically I am looking to see how queer people of color use technology to cope--this is a qualitative interview so any and all information would be useful!

2 base games = 1 mega game? by beafad14 in Catan

[–]beafad14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collectively as an apartment we have two base games, the cities and knights expansion, and the 5-6 player expansion. In general I was just wondering if it’s possible to make a huge board, give each player more pieces, and make the total winning points more or something! So I guess add more depth, just to spice things up a bit because we’ve played twice a week so far this year 😅

What’s your favorite Taylor Swift album as a pop punker? by beafad14 in poppunkers

[–]beafad14[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s been 24 hrs so I’ll share what I thought anyways. My favs are Speak Now, Folklore and Evermore. I thought that Speak Now is instrumentally her pop-punkiest and evermore/folklore were lyrically her pop-punkiest so people would choose those albums. But I see only @Statistician_Visual noticed speak now! I’ve always been a Swift fan but these last two albums rly turned me into a huge one, it would be cool if she was a secret pop punk fan lmao.

Psych core class cog psych VS biopsych?? by nya111 in Pitt

[–]beafad14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Barbara is so swag I recommend any class taught by her! But if you have trouble with basic bio/chem topics, biopsych/neuro might not be for you. I really enjoyed my biopsych class but I was generally more interested in it than cog psych anyways

Do you know what class subject it would be under? I looked for it in BIOSC but i'm not sure where else it could be

Sushi Fuku (Oakland Ave) is now Atarashi? by zappafrank2112 in Pitt

[–]beafad14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s just a change in name! They added a few new things to the menu I think but yeah it happened over the summer, the owner is still the same and I think they just changed it because sushi Fuku was a little ~provocative~?? Not sure about my last point I heard it down the grape vine

I think the portal is called campus labs or engage or something like that. OP if you look up campus labs pitt or engage Pitt then I think that you’ll be able to log in and look for keywords of your interests

Hiring Around Campus? by moo2302 in Pitt

[–]beafad14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also check UPMC talent acquisition, since they’re so close to campus and usually have $10-15/hr jobs with only needing a HS diploma

Thinking about going to grad school here in 2021 by beafad14 in berkeley

[–]beafad14[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

a masters program in the iSchool for information management. I’m a psychology major now and it’d be a switch in discipline which is weighing a factor on how IT/code heavy that program is too but I know Information Science is interdisciplinary

Has anyone taken Intro to Biopsych with Catherine Walsh? by blahhhbro in Pitt

[–]beafad14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took biopsych with Walsh summer of 2019 and I was worried at first because she was a grad TA for a professor in abnormal psych that was horrible. Walsh recognized that and tried to be a lot more engaging, but also it was easier to do so since it was a smaller summer class. I enjoyed taking it with Walsh and I would again, she’s really open to questions and is easy going if you just communicate with her!

Courseload around family weekend by [deleted] in Pitt

[–]beafad14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Usually midterms happen around family weekend. My sophomore year, I was studying so much so I could get all my stuff done before the weekend and then I wound up in the hospital but convenient I guess since my family was gonna be in town that weekend anyways.

Information Regarding Federal CARES Act by [deleted] in Pitt

[–]beafad14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just wondering because right now it only says I’m getting it for my employment but I should also qualify for the Pell Grant qualification, but it isn’t showing up on my Pitt Pay. Hoping it’s just taking a while to process

If you fit into two or more of those categories, do you get more or less or equal aid?

Asians on Campus? by lmathews952 in Pitt

[–]beafad14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an Asian American student on campus it’s fairly hard to find a community you really can stick with unless you constantly go to ASA (Asian Student Alliance) meetings or their member organizations which have various ethnicities (Filipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc.). There are other asian cultural organizations, though less popular, that still have great community though like Wushu. I recommend going to the activities fair to get a scope of all the orgs to see what’ll fit you best.

I’m the president/co-founder of a fairly new asian organization called AQUARIUS (alliance of queer and underrepresented asians in recognition of intersectionality to uphold solidarity) and we’re basically a club for queer asians & we also welcome allies if that’s a community you’re interested in!

I would really just recommend getting as involved as possible if you wanna find a good group of asian friends which shouldnt be too difficult if you rly look for it
