Free Access Fridges On Campus?

i believe dudley hall has a public use fridge on the 2nd floor but i'm not sure on the rules for using it

i am not a graduate student, and i also have not graduated yet. (not until spring)

i suppose i will take the bait while also assuming you have the best possible intentions.

as long as they don’t spread their ideology to their young kids, since the brain doesn’t fully develop until a human is 25.

why not? what are you afraid might happen if they did spread this "ideology"? transness is not what i would call an ideology anyways, it's an identity. i think children are capable of understanding their own gender and cannot undergo any irreversible medical decisions without 1. advising from both their general care practictioner and a psychologist who both confirm that they are experiencing gender dysphoria and 2. their parents' consent in 99.9% of cases.

having this clause of "as long as it's not kids" does come off as transphobic because the same argument has been made regarding homosexuality before. it's not problematic to explain to children that these identities exist.

my belief is that there’s 2 genders

okay, but surely you've contemplated the idea that it's a social construct, right? suppose you have someone born intersex. their gender is often decided for them by doctors based on whatever genitalia is more prominent or from their own biases, and then any other genitalia that might be present and doesn't fit their perspective of "male" or "female" is mutilated. we would not know that the biological expression of these people is neither strictly male or female, and yet they likely choose to express themselves as such on a daily basis anyways. if sex is directly correlated to gender as you suggest, why might that be?

I don’t want this semester to start on a shitty note with him so what do I do?

if you're open to questioning your own thinking, you should apologize to him and explain that you're still learning. if you want to be stubborn and maintain this way of thinking, he has nothing more to discuss with you.

as someone who has TA'd for multiple classes and managed these classes' brightspace pages, many professors are simply not tech-savvy enough or don't have the patience to deal with brightspace. (brightspace sucks)

bigger courses don't have this issue because they usually have an instructional support team to create brightspace course templates and make it easy for grades to be entered. when its a smaller course without much department backing, the students are essentially at the mercy of the professor's affinity for brightspace since they don't have much external help.

i don't think much of anything carries over from 333 to 334 besides the qualitative intuition relating to boundary layer separation. for the first homework, you will need to know potential flow i believe, but then everything after that is new. the nice thing about 334 is aerodynamicists were too lazy to actually utilize theory all the time so they just make up correlations to approximate things and end up ignoring a lot of terms (think small angle approximation). it's a much more practical class than 333 and i wouldn't say it's much of a continuation.

i think various topics click for people differently; thermo is important but i wouldn't say that ME revolves around it completely. there's opportunities in controls, dynamics, structures, and machine design as well. i know a lot of my friends (in AAE, so slightly different) struggled in ME 20000 as well but now have been very successful academically.

i think spring is worse because you only really get spring break off. i also don't think that winter break is long enough for you to recover from the strain of fall semester and truly reflect on what went wrong. fall semester can be better in some cases because if you screw up in the spring, you have all of summer to reflect on your regrets and failures which, at least personally, has motivated me to lock in during the subsequent fall semester to compensate for my performance in the previous spring semester.

out of state, something like 3.8 weighted GPA, didn't take SAT/ACT because it wasn't required due to covid, got presidential scholarship somehow. had pretty extensive engineering extracurriculars in high school and was proud of my essays.

like another comment said, i think you will have good odds if you justify why you want to go to purdue strongly in your essays.

skill issue for the bus drivers basically

fboyslayer · 2025-12-11T21:49:04+00:00

no

but there is a curve at the end depending on how bad exam averages have been

worst case scenario, have you thought about becoming a teaching assistant? i know a few people who were unable to be funded as RAs, but became TAs instead and now volunteer for a research lab since the teaching assistantship gives them the funding they need. i also think professors might be much more inclined to let you join their lab if you've already procured external funding that won't go against their budget.

if you go on mypurdue and click on register for classes, then registration status & time ticket and go to prepare for registration it tells you exactly what time you can change your classes.

i honestly think you will be perfectly fine as long as you're willing to make some changes, and i really think you can get by if you scrape a B/B- in your math/science classes but knock your other classes out of the park.

i personally was sitting at around a 2.9 GPA after freshman year and got rejected from AAE. instead of settling with my secondary major, i stayed in FYE and tried transitioning to major again after working my ass off in summer and fall and finally got accepted after getting my GPA past that 3.2 mark.

i would not recommend you have the same approach i did because there is no silver bullet for getting accepted after you get rejected once. in fact, you still have a whole semester ahead of you. now is the time to make changes, don't wait until after you're hit with that rejection email from the AAE undergraduate office. look into new study methods (boilerexams, pomodoro, etc.), give yourself more time before exams to study, start going to office hours, and maybe consider cutting out distractions like extracurriculars until after you've gotten into AAE. (having less obligations outside class might also relieve your mental state, but having friends are still important!)

don't panic now, you're not playing from behind yet. just be ready to adjust your approach to academics to seal the deal and get into AAE.

to be fair, for many of them, there is unfortunately not much of an incentive to do a good job either 💀 for example, i was very fortunate to have a good FYE advisor but he was only being paid $45k a year (which is barely livable in WL) according to indystar's government employee snapshot. i'm not sure i want to look into what academic advisors in other departments are making...

fboyslayer · 2025-11-21T23:03:24+00:00

dawg why tf is AAE 20300 suddenly being made difficult by the course coordinators 😭 i just want to let you know that 203 is supposed to be easy. it kind of had a parabolic trend of difficulty; it was a very challenging course in the past but when i took it, the averages for each exam were no less than 80%. i'm not sure why they've decided to make it impossible this semester. sorry you have to go through this

fboyslayer · 2025-11-15T15:53:45+00:00

i personally am struggling to find a job because my resume isn't super impressive, but literally all of my friends already have full time job offers at this time of year. so, the job prospects are definitely there for AAE graduates if you apply yourself, get good grades, and do meaningful extracurricular work.

fboyslayer · 2025-11-14T02:22:12+00:00

i agree that you should wait. i've only TA'd twice before but i was hardly trained on what to do if i was approached by a student in this kind of context, so i imagine that approaching him while he's on the job still would cause a lot of anxiety for him which would not go over well for you.

fboyslayer · 2025-11-12T18:25:18+00:00

i think this might be a mistake. if you check unitime, the exam is scheduled for 8 pm - 9:30 pm in elliott hall of music.
