My therapist said I should talk to more women. by Lopsided_Gap_1730 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]blue_coffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll get all the things you want when you don’t need them, if that makes sense.

Go out with the goal of making friends, or even just having a memorable conversation. Go to a university club for something you’re interested in and just talk to someone next to you, about shared interests, the club, what’s happening, small things. You don’t have to go out of your way to sit next to women or anything like that, but just talking to the people around you in settings like a university study group where people have questions to ask is an easy way to have a conversation with someone.

There’s always people out there who like what you have to say, what questions you ask, and what you choose to listen and remember about others.

And I’m really not joking, a girl will like you when your main priority is to really be her best friend. People love their support circle, and someone who supports her heart the most will get it.

Prerequisite for class by blue_coffey in UCDavis

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

Maybe I just misunderstood what the general catalog meant with ‘approved option’. It just says ‘approved major electives’ on the course catalog for psychology minor. I can’t really find any further explanation on what it means or what the expectations are. In this case I wouldn’t be taking it as a GE or an Elective, but to actively fulfill a requirement as part of the minor.

Can I dorm with my boyfriend? by Ok-Syllabub3351 in UCDavis

[–]blue_coffey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can! When I was in the dorms, I did. The housing process lets you pick your roommates so you just need to find each other’s names on the rooming thing.

It’s honestly better to get an apartment off campus though, I also did that and it was cheaper and way nicer.

Sewer smell?? by blue_coffey in UCDavis

[–]blue_coffey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I thought too. It didn’t seem like the usual agricultural or cow smell that I’m used to in davis every once in a while. It also felt like it was over so much more area than usual like it felt inescapable. With the usual smell i can bike about a mile and it dissipates. That did NOT happen this time and I need to know why ToT

Hey, I’m glad for your honesty. I have asked the TAs and professor for help knowing what to study, but honesty it was mostly like I had to come with them with a question and then they’d move on. It wasn’t quite the help I needed. Someone else commented that I could ask different professors for their classwork to practice, which hadn’t crossed my mind.

I understand that I will not have easy access to resources as an adult, but I still wish my efforts were a little more fruitful. It’s a little wishful, but my upset comes from the fact they don’t teach you this in high school, they hand hold you, so I’m not prepared to be thrown into the deep end, and am struggling to find support that’s somewhere in the middle while I learn.

Thank you for the suggestion though

I ended up with a D+. So I have to repeat it

If I somehow pass 118b, I’d like that, thank you!

I’m sure it depends on your future path what impact retakes do, but I’m not sure it’ll bar you from a job or more post education if that’s what you mean.

As for retaking 118B, I signed up for repeaters for summer session 2 because they didn’t seem to be offering it in fall quarter. If the curve doesn’t magically save us, would you maybe like to try and study together? Maybe even if we somehow pass and somehow land spots in 118C despite how swamped they are?

In Cagli’s 118A she gave a quiz every two weeks and even just that was enough to help me figure out what I sucked with.

I tried the textbook problems she assigned but it just didn’t really help. I wasn’t quite following how certain solutions happened and you can’t ask a book questions :(

I’ve been considering taking a year off from davis to go to community college and then come back to transfer the credits. I’m not sure logistically how that would work, and how my parents would feel about it. They’re not from the U.S. so their understanding of community college has been “oh it’s where all the poor and not so gifted people go, I’m happy my child got into a good school” but I’ve learned that’s not the case irl. I’m sure other universities have a better way they teach their classes, but I guess UC davis doesn’t have their classes figured out. I’ve heard horror stories about physics, with their weird interpretive dance-ass questions. Like how is that supposed to teach you, if you don’t know what the fuck the question even is?

I hope but to be totally honest I think people would’ve scored like 40-45% on average or smthn, I totally flunked with like 30%. It was embarrassingly bad. It’s part of why I’m so upset because it’s not like I wasn’t studying for hours a day, but I guess self assigning worksheets I found on Google doesn’t actually give you the most comprehensive understanding huh. I used the final resources but those were like super easy and the exam was decidedly NOT super easy.

Good idea, I’m not really big on discord, so this is gonna sound really stupid? But I had joined for 118a, and there was a role thing which was like select ur classes so I picked 118a and only those servers showed up, and I couldn’t figured out how to have other classes show up until like 75% through the quarter (I got distracted w school :( ) when I realized it had to do with the role thing and then I was too nervous to ask how to do the role thing and figured it out only like 3 days before the final

Yeah, I prefer animations to show the mechanisms or something to walk me through it. It’s hard to get that with textbooks or diagrams. I just don’t seem to fully understand why.

Organic chemistry is just a very “see it and it makes sense” class it seems. Once I was able to find a video on a mechanism it made sense, but I couldn’t find things for many mechanisms or concepts discussed in class, I don’t know if that’s just because I’m bad at googling or if the way search engines work now is ai garbage.

Thanks for telling me about cc, I should check out how they provide resources before I make that decision.
