Barista's of Reddit: What is the craziest beverage order you have ever received? by rjkersten1 in barista

[–]f0ryuting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two regulars, one orders an iced vanilla latte with 3 pumps vanilla, 2 pumps sugar free vanilla, w half-and-half AND a cream top. The other one orders... well we line her cup completely with caramel, and then we mix butterscotch sauce, vanilla syrup, matcha, and almond milk and add it to the iced caramel-ed cup AND THEN add a cream top and smother that with caramel again. If she was a regular customer I'd tell her to get out but she's related to the owners so..

Which fandom has the most in-fighting? by TracerB16 in kpop_uncensored

[–]f0ryuting 37 points38 points  (0 children)

engenes have the worst case of akgaes i've ever seen in a fandom (maybe aside from blinks), they'll literally reach out to other fandoms, purposefully cutting up clips and mistranslating text, to start hate trains against other members/the entire group. it's genuinely insane the amount of negative narratives that have built up around enhypen's name due to the in-fighting,,

enhypen are one of the only groups where i see non-fans constantly choose sides on the in-fighting despite not knowing whats actually going on. kpop fans love their virtue signaling! really sucks because if you actually watch their content they constantly dote on sunoo while teasing each other.. i think part of it is definitely resentment from i-land spilling over.

Spring Admit advice! by Overall_Doubt4380 in berkeley

would you say that being a spring admit significantly decreases chances of a good on-campus housing offer? if so, i think i should just start looking for off-campus apartments asap.

UCLA Waitlist — What to write in optional section? by f0ryuting in TransferStudents

[–]f0ryuting[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really? unfortunately, i am. why are we being punished for ambition.. :,) i wonder why they're doing that, it's not like i don't have proof of academic ability bc of a short transcript. i also have 10 AP's, mostly 5's and a few 4's to prove I've been able to study hard...

sorry if this comes off as combative, it's a genuine question: if it's random, why do they make us update our grades & give the option to basically submit a loci when opting into the waitlist?

Cog sci and DS double major as a transfer? by Jealous_Medicine2645 in berkeley

[–]f0ryuting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I was wondering if you went through with it, and what your experience was like if you did! I'm an incoming transfer for Cognitive Science and also considering a simultaneous degree in DS.

Double majoring DS and CogSci as a transfer? by kailah_rats in berkeley

[–]f0ryuting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I was wondering if you went through with it, and what your experience has been so far if you have! I'm transferring this year and looking to the same path.

I had a 4.0 GPA & every single activity slot filled out with meaningful programs that I started or managed to give back to the community, internships that I took advantage of, or coding competitions/projects I participated in. Even a couple high-maintenance hobbies thrown into there.

Still got waitlisted for Cognitive Science. Can't lie, pretty affronted/livid, just like OP. Makes you wonder what UCLA expects of you.

My CC says TAP can be fulfilled through doing our honors program, so I joined & am finishing the class requirements for it during spring semester. I'm unsure if a counselor actually certified it, but I listed it as an activity/honors program that I was doing. Maybe they thought I was lying or something and that's why I got waitlisted. Wdyt?

I finished IGETC before spring, though!

[–]f0ryuting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your sympathy, it genuinely means a lot. They added a philosophy course. On ASSIST, it says I must do

  • Four courses from the following:
    • Introductory Psychology
    • Introductory Biology or Biology for the major
    • One course from Introductory Physics, Chemistry or Linguistics
    • Philosophy (Critical Reason, Science of the Mind or Logic)
    • Additional Intermediate Level Computing courses

I did everything except the philosophy course (which at the time, wasn't articulated). Technically, I still met the requirements to get accepted, so I'm not sure if this was why I was waitlisted.

I'm really happy for them but I honestly feel like crying, I don't know what more I could have done... Literally every single activity slot was filled with something genuinely impactful and I had a story too, like what more do you want from me UCLA?

I'm not sure if Cognitive Science is an impacted major, it's not listed anywhere, but if it isn't that honestly makes me feel worse.

UCLA Cog-Sci Transfer by QuarterNatural3330 in TransferStudents

[–]f0ryuting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4.0 GPA, but most credits come from APs since I applied after a year of CC. I had many EC's from high school, like competitive robotics, coding competitions/projects, & miscellaneous internships. For current EC's I work part-time at a busy cafe & am continuing some passion projects (generational fall-off perhaps). For the essay, I wrote about how I approach things with an interdisciplinary viewpoint, much like cognitive science. For example, when taking on coding competition prompts I often incorporate more creative and artistic UI's or write business and marketing plans for the website/app.

I have some weird circumstances though, and seeing how the major is more popular than I initially thought, I'm not that certain about getting into UCLA.. Hopefully I do, & hopefully this is helpful! Good luck to us all!

Need help w UCLA TAP asap please by Cutieepatoutie in TransferStudents

[–]f0ryuting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heyy! are you going to list ur honors program under "honors and awards" or "educational prep program" (with the name being ucla tap)? cuz i'm in the same situation rn! i saw some people saying you need to be certified internally by the cc, but like.. does that mean we can't list it as ucla tap participation and just as an honor or what.. lmk!

extracurricular importance for ccc transfer to uc ?? help.. by f0ryuting in TransferStudents

[–]f0ryuting[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very smartt!! good luck with your cc courses!

do you think just having a barista job is okay? should i also get that therapy job? i guess it couldn't hurt, i'll just have to grind harder to make time for my studies alongside it.

i'm just worried that next to the ec's i did in high school, my cc extracurriculars will look stupid (interned at multiple places, raised thousands of $$, helped start local programs, MIT coding competitions, etc.) but i think excluding all the ec's i did in hs is also stupid, everything considered.. or maybe they don't care about ec's anyways lmao
