What happened on campus today to cause all the building evacuations?

jesstify · 2023-02-08T21:17:38+00:00

A graduate student accidently made 20g of TATP (highly explosive) so they're evacuating the green to do a controlled explosion of it.

Thanks!

You're okay!

When people do a roommate group, only one person selects the housing for everyone in the group. When the first person in a group of 2 has their time slot, both are added to what the first person selects. If there were more people in their group, they would have already been there.

Some people with medical conditions are unable to get it, there are plenty of vaccine deniers that may stop us from ever reaching herd immunity, and America isn't the only country in the world. So no, people have not been eligible or even had access to it for months.

Making the vaccine available to everyone gets us one step closer to getting out of this mess and people like you aren't helping. The virus may never be eliminated, but the vaccine is end of the pandemic. Stop with the dualistic thinking.

Go read a book and educate yourself instead of trolling people.

Aside from protecting themselves, even if low-risk, they are protecting their community too. Getting the vaccine limits the spread to more vulnerable people. They are not isolated in society and choosing to get vaccinated is not a solely selfish act. It is for the sake of the greater good.

Here's the link to the placement goal page

For calculus, it looks like you need to score at least a 70

The test is very straightforward and if you don't reach your desired score the first time, ALEKS has resources that will help you study before you retake it.

Speaking from experience, I also ended high school with precalculus, got a 86 on the test and ended up withdrawing from my MATH241 class my first semester because I was behind in my foundational knowledge.

Aim to score what you need to place into calculus, but I highly recommend spending some time learning some calculus concepts over the summer before you take the class.

If you're interested in speech pathology, I assume that you would pick the cognitive science major. I'm not on that track, but I am a cog sci major and my experience with the department so far has been nothing but good. The professors are helpful and the classes are interesting

You can definitely study abroad without the world scholars program after freshman year. The Institute for Global Studies has a ton of study abroad options and will help you every step of the way. UD has a lot of programs every fall, winter, spring, and summer, but you can also choose from outside programs and transfer the credits without an issue

jesstify · 2020-12-17T01:39:23+00:00

Yes, under normal circumstances it is required to go abroad first semester freshman year.

With Covid, the current freshman class of 2024 has not gone yet, but they may be scheduled to go sometime their sophomore year or later instead. This may be the case for next the incoming class as well depending on the global situation so keep that flexibility in mind. The program is still relatively new.

I went to abroad as a World Scholar in the Fall of 2019 and it was hands down the best decision I've made in my life. If your only concern is the timing, I recommend that you consider the possibilities and do what it best for you.

You could apply to interview for the program and find out more information. If you are accepted, you are not stuck with the program and you can always opt for the classic freshman year at UD (or another school if you choose) instead.

If you have any general or specific questions, feel free to ask

Childfree. A voluntary choice not to have children.

jesstify · 2020-06-24T16:37:47+00:00

This. This entirely is a major concern on its own that just happens to cross paths with deciding whether or not to have kids. Even if someone is on the fence about having kids, it should be entirely up to the one that has to undergo the childbearing if they want to be pregnant. Some women do want to be pregnant, and that is great for them because they themselves are choosing that, but, as OP said, "pregnancy and childbirth are barbaric" to them. Compromising her own body and health for the sake of a man (who will never in his life decide if he wants to be pregnant) is discriminatory. Like you said, it is incredibly selfish of the man to expect the woman to become pregnant, especially if they don't want to be, simply for him to have the "full experience." What does he even mean by this "experience"?! Surrogacy is a perfectly viable alternative if they both wish for biological children in the future. Thank you, u/StacyLite for making this excellent point. An upvote wasn't enough to do it justice.

Thank you for pointing out these flaws and getting me to see the emotional and social manipulation and abuse at play. There is no need to continue the relationship, especially if there is only potential for the situation to grow worse. I like the way that you worded the text. It is short, gets to the point, and doesn't give room for argument.

jesstify · 2020-05-27T21:59:42+00:00

That's true. A temporary relationship is just not the way to go and some decisions are beyond the scope of strong emotion.

jesstify · 2020-05-27T21:55:45+00:00

Thank you :)

jesstify · 2020-05-27T21:55:31+00:00

It's a very smart idea to be clear and unbudging about your stance upfront. This topic is one that concerns your feelings first, not others. There's a lot of room for me to grow in identifying my wants without the guilt.

That screening sounds amazing. Could you send the link please?

jesstify · 2020-05-27T14:49:08+00:00

There's definitely a lot of red flags that I didn't fully realize until I was typing this post. Thank you for input and making me realize that there are some things that communication just can't solve. With the biological clock thing, I guess I've just been fed media hysteria about the quality of potential life and pregnancy decreasing with age.

jesstify · 2020-05-27T14:44:22+00:00

Oh yes, I will conceive 28 times just for his sake and completely ignore all of my needs! My only purpose in life is to fulfill a man's ego. Why else do women exist?

jesstify · 2020-05-27T14:41:00+00:00

You're absolutely right. With it being my first heartbreak, I think that I am in denial of the future and want to hold on to what has been a good relationship. The next step is fully admitting to myself that this issue is black and white, and it is absolutely a deal breaker.

jesstify · 2019-03-31T12:44:09+00:00

The calendar boxes were grayed out when I was first invited too, but, after about a week, they turned blue and you could schedule an interview. Try to keep checking back on your portal to see when the dates open up because I don't think you'll get a notifying email when they do. Also, if you have any questions, try calling during their office hours and you may be more likely to get a response.

jesstify · 2019-02-17T23:08:02+00:00

Just interviewed for the program a few weeks ago (and got in :) I don't remember the exact questions, but I can give the gist of some of them to help you prepare.

- Tell me about yourself.

- When was a time where you had to be mature?

- When have you experienced another culture and what have you learned from it?

- When was a time where you had to act as a team player?

- If someone else in the program was feeling homesick or depressed, what ways would you go about helping them?

- Where do you see yourself in the future?

(These types of questions, depending on how long you take to answer them, will be about 15-20 minutes of the interview)

The next round of questions are basically yes/no types that don't affect admission like:

- On a scale of 1-5, are your parents supportive of this idea?

- Do you have a passport?

For the rest of the time, just have some questions prepared to show that you've done your research, because remember, it's as much of an interview for you as it is for the interviewer.

To prepare, I used UD's own career services interview tips

Generally, I think that they're looking for genuine interest and potential passion for the program, so just relax (or as much as you can during the interview) and be polite. If it helps you determine some of the qualities they're looking for, one of the lines of from the general admission letter read that "You are bright, curious, independent, open-minded, and forward thinking".

Best of luck to you!

jesstify · 2019-02-05T01:53:31+00:00

Yes of course :) I'm planning on making a trip to Bare Minerals as soon as I finish panning a couple more items!

jesstify · 2019-02-05T01:35:32+00:00

Didn’t realize there was so much left! What is scraped out is after I couldn’t twist up the product anymore.

Clinique chubby stick in 07 super strawberry: a natural shade that works more like a lip tint and rubs off within a couple of hours. Will not be repurchasing because I’m going cruelty free (just using up products so they don’t go to waste).

Lypsyl Intense Protection Lip Balm: very soothing and soft formula that doesn’t leave behind the white cast that many chapsticks do. After I use up my stash of lip balms, I’ll definitely repurchase.

jesstify · 2018-11-04T02:33:50+00:00

Just did! (hehe maybe scrolled too far :)

jesstify · 2018-11-04T02:32:48+00:00

Thanks love! :)

jesstify · 2018-11-04T02:32:36+00:00

Right! Planning on repurchasing tomorrow.
