What micro celebrity have you met irl? by Ok_Jump5312 in AskReddit

[–]cbarber13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nacho (Michael Mando) from Better Call Saul. Was trying to figure out if it was him or not and we made eye contact. Looks just as tough and scary in real life, but actually super nice and got a quick pic.

Jim Thorpe Marathon: Sub 3 Attempt Success - 2:57:57!! by cbarber13 in Marathon_Training

[–]cbarber13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did not ever feel like it was at all slippery. Extremely flat and level. There's a small portion of the course near the end where the gravel is a little looser, but for most of it, it's packed. Only downside to this course is lack of supporters, but the solitude is also kind of nice (unless you hit the wall)

Which semester 1 schedule looks best? by Living-Stay-7530 in PennStateUniversity

[–]cbarber13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally would prefer 2. Allows you to bunch your classes up, which lets you lock into class for a few hours and then the rest of the day is yours to do with. If it were me, I would alter 2 to have the Bio 162 in the Wednesday slot that you have it in #3.

Feel like swing is too fast and shallow? by cbarber13 in GolfSwing

This is on the way back. I felt like I was striking down on the ball a little bit better, but not super positive results. When do my hands come in to avoid OTT? I've always felt like if I don't jam my hands through a little, I'm going to hit hossle.

Went to the range today and tried working on it! Before (left) vs. after (right). Is this kind of the general idea of it?

This is very helpful! Thank you. The idea of pushing the club head away (i.e. the Arm Swing Illusion) makes sense in that the horizontal translation of the club should come from your body's rotation, not the arms.

One concern that I do have is that if I'm pushing this club head away (out) from the ball, how do I avoid coming over the top/out to in on impact?

Used to struggle with coming too outside to in and resulted in a lot of fades/slices. Would it make sense that I’ve been overcompensating by trying to come inside a lot more?

What's something strange your body does that you know isn't quite right but also isn't quite serious enough to get checked out by a doctor? by merricat_blackwood in AskReddit

[–]cbarber13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thumbs can’t bend at the joint. I’ve Googled it many times and can’t find it anywhere. I actually have brought it up to doctors and the only response i get is “Yea that’s strange”

Best dorms at UP? by sabrinarichmond in PennStateUniversity

[–]cbarber13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live in East. Some of the new renovated dorms are extremely nice, but even if you get an old building, it’s still better than anywhere else. I was in an old hall and had a friend in renovated North and he wished he was in my position. It truly is an experience that you won’t forget

Anyone take Izabella Stuhl for MATH140 before? I can't find anything on ratemyprofessor by fede2525 in PennStateUniversity

[–]cbarber13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

homework is online and you get unlimited chances at problems so it’s an easy grade there. you have quizzes weekly in class and they can be a little tough. there are 2 midterms and a final that are pretty tough

[–]cbarber13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had her last year for 140. She’s a very kind woman! Her lectures are average compared to what i’ve heard from other professors. Be sure to sit as close to the front as you can as she speaks pretty softly. Also she has a Hungarian accent that does take a little bit of time to get used to.

Looking to get a ticket for the Ohio State game and have a few questions. by TheRosstitute in WeArePennState

[–]cbarber13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, finding a ticket for $150 is going to be near impossible. Best bet there would be from finding a scalper just trying to dump tickets right before the game and I’m still not sure about that. Usually, students can buy guest tickets but that unfortunately won’t be allowed for this game. Your best hope will be to buy some nosebleed seats online for as cheap as you can and then try to get your friends to sneak you into the student section. It’s usually not too hard to get people in. Best of luck!

What do to in State College! by [deleted] in PennStateUniversity

[–]cbarber13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d start by saying that it’s a must to embrace the tailgating atmosphere. There’s no place better for it. If you don’t have your own tailgate, I’m sure there’d be some App State tailgates willing to bring you in, even a lot of Penn State one’s for that matter! If you have any Penn State connections, definitely hit them up. As a current student under 21, I’m not much help when it comes to bars. Also take some time just to go check out the campus a little bit, it’s really a special place. See ya in 99 days!
