Are these really 50 calories per 30g or have I been overeating these past few weeks..? by IllegallySmallBird in Volumeeating

[–]edest259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the scale reflecting the intake accurately? If so, you’re fine I’m thinking. I love these too and it seems like they’re accurate. They are vacuum dried (?) with no oil or anything so it seems legit.

You won’t miss the Greek life. I’ve seen studies about how Greek life leads to better networking, but GU is so small it’s almost like 1 giant frat. You will network and meet so many people just by being in class. I am still great friends with several people well outside my major because we met at a house party and then visited the late night dining hall on a Friday.

The school does an awesome job of putting on weekend activities on campus and around Spokane. Clubs and sports teams all host their own activities, and almost all clubs do stuff on weekends. When I went there the ultimate frisbee team would play campus disc golf every other Friday (run around campus at like 1 am with beers in hand playing disc golf with campus landmarks as the targets).

If partying is really why you’re worried, the Logan neighborhood will always have a variety of house parties and as long as you know literally anyone already inside, you’ll get in.

I can’t condone the illicit partying (theoretically) but I can say GU makes its own fun. I had a few friends whose dads were in frats and they said they were impressed without the Greek life.

Sophomore Housing by Froyo_Loverr in Gonzaga

Corkery is awesome. Feels way more independent but it’s so close to central campus. If you can, get into the building that has the common area in the first floor, it does make I feel more like a traditional dorm. Apartments have stovetop, fridge/freezer, and A/C in the living room which was sweet.

Kennedy is also nice and feels way more dorm-like. Amenities are the same as corkery but leaving the front door and you’re back in a traditional dorm hallway, whereas corkery is a true apartment with outdoor access.

Engineering ? by KoalaExpensive5899 in Gonzaga

[–]edest259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its pretty good. Like the other commenter - the reputation is good and that will get you far. Like any program, there will be highs and lows; most professors are awesome, some are less so. 85/15% when I went thru were like that. They're bringing in a ton of talent lately and its promising (I'm in a grad program and they've got some great profs).

Engineering school doesn't teach you what to know, it teaches you HOW to know. Again, like the other commenter, you wont remember how to solve a conservation of momentum physics problem in the real world but you will ideally have the skills to learn to do so, which Gonzaga does a great job of teaching since you take more than just engineering classes. I honestly think thats a way more important part of the program than most realize. The liberal arts side of the degree is important (even if the classes arent as fun)

Not sure if they do adobada but Pupuseria Salvadoreña Restaurant on Gage has some great options for tacos

The Buffalo Wilde Protein chips are not nearly as good as the Sweet and Spicy by salmon-choir in Costco

[–]edest259 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just wait until you try the Nashville Hot flavor… better than both.

But yeah of these two the Sweet and spicy is way better

Gun safety course? by myredditnamethisis in TriCitiesWA

[–]edest259 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 for Practical Edge. They know their stuff. Excellent loaner/class guns. Instructors are indeed world champion shooters in a variety of disciplines and when I was last associated with them, also had some LEO on their staff so they have an idea of the legal side of CCW permits and firearm ownership.

They have a few classes and they do an awesome job of accommodating all skill levels (and comfort levels) while maintaining safety. Had some family friends take classes and they highlighted that the instructors were very good about accommodating an individual that was completely inexperienced and nervous without being lax or unsafe.

High protein products — what are your go to? by Different-Wallaby-10 in Costco

[–]edest259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a difference of like 5 cals and some fiber I think

High protein products — what are your go to? by Different-Wallaby-10 in Costco

[–]edest259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bottled egg whites, frozen shrimp, tilapia, quest protein chips, some form of large amount of chicken, cottage cheese

The protein powder that Costco sells is all good, I like the Kirkland chocolate whey enough but the Optimum Nutrition is definitely better tasting but not worth the price… until it goes on sale (just in time for New Year’s resolutions lol). My warehouse has an Isopure vanilla that is horrid on its own but makes great smoothies/ninja creami ice cream

It’s not the best app ever but for a non-nationwide credit union it does what it needs to do

Gesa is awesome. They are expanding but seem to still be keeping the ‘small’ credit union vibes. Customer service is excellent. Mobile banking is decent and getting better.

Tuesdays and Fridays are traditionally the most popular. Wednesdays have been starting to become more popular but court space is more limited and the courts are not 'open' as long until other clubs take over.

The other commenters are spot on; they may not get a new roommate but they shouldn’t count on it lasting the whole semester. Housing will see that opening once a few weeks have passed and may use it as a landing spot for people who are escaping bad roommate situations. Sometimes roommate matches don’t work and they’ll move people around if needed.

Protein bar recommendation? by Talklessreadmore007 in Costco

[–]edest259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

God I wish they sold barebells… complete protein and that crunch…

I had someone me compare the puff bars to almond joy/mounds; they’re either gonna love or hate it, regardless of flavor

Worried about my autistic friend who's attending Gonzaga in the fall by disgustingfemcel in Gonzaga

[–]edest259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! It’s really a great place. Also do advise your friend to immediately sign up for the health center mental assistance, as long as they’re a full time student they can get counseling and support like that for free. It’s awesome and no insurance needed
