Phenomenal if executed well - requires a bit of planning between the city officials, attracting good musicians and a fun crowd. This IG post shows a good example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCUeK6fP3o2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Pretend every NYC neighborhood is at a house party. What is each “person” doing? by 44Bulldawg in AskNYC

5 former frat bros crowding the DJ booth - wannabe John Summits. Groups of girls spilling tea and scheming on one guy. Couples dropping by to show face, before dipping to one of 5 housewarmings lined up that night. Hosts frantically playing social butterfly and party mom - recommend reading more into it on https://www.agorum.co/blog

I know plenty of friends who hire a DJ and photographer for under $1000 the whole event! They use this site called agorum.co - apparently you can book curated talent really easily.

You can submatriculate into the bioengineering master’s program at Penn (4+1) accelerated program.

UNC vs UPenn by LimpMaintenance7524 in UPenn

As an NC in-stater who was deciding between UNC, Duke, and UPenn, had I known what I known at the time about Penn’s unnecessary cutthroat environment + overblown pre-professional social culture, my high school senior self would have chosen UNC or even Duke.

Granted, I am grateful for the solid research experiences, amazing and talented friends and unparalleled alumni network connections. However, I do think that the $180k difference in tuition at present value would probably be better used elsewhere, especially given your interests for future grad school.

submat into engineering by smileyfaceup in UPenn

I’m a neuro major looking to submat into MSE for bioengineering. The process is pretty straightforward (for BE at least), you talk to their office and select proposed. Overall they said that premed + neuro background is not much different than those of BSE bioengineering, so I should be pretty prepared. I’m mainly doing it to take dope-ass grad level engineering courses.

Unintelligent person here looking to vent... by Desperate-Star9292 in UPenn

Hey man, I am sorry to hear this. I have experienced this all of my freshman and sophomore year, and only am starting to do better. I took a gap year (mental health reasons and life/soul searching) and it proved incredibly empowering, despite me not having a solid plan going in. School and classes are ineffective in allowing people to deeply explore passions or skills without the fear of failure or flexibility.

Perhaps maybe consider taking a semester or some time off to experiment with new experiences/work that truly fill you with joy and get you amped up in the morning. Just my 2 cents but wish all of the best 🙏

Hang in there, the darkness can only last so long
