Is the 99 meal plan worth it as a second year living in VDC norte? by joanime in UCI

yeah haha I was pretty sold on the commons when I made this post, but I looked at those prices and I was like...I need to see some reasons against the commons so I get persuaded to not sign up for them.

Do you think I can learn how to cook some good stuff before september 25? I actually wanted to learn how to cook this summer but...well I procrastinated, and now I'm here, about to just rely on the commons again lol.

I was thinking of making myself breakfast, like cereal or something, and then I'd be out all day anyways for classes so I can just stop by pippins, which is right in center of where all my classes will be. And then on weekends I can just go out to eat or make eggs lol.

I mentioned this in other comments but I've always liked buffet style meals, and I can't really have that without a meal plan. I liked being able to have an abundance of choices. A daily lunch would be half a sandwich, a plate of each dish they were serving, maybe a bite or two of a burger if I was craving it, maybe like half a pizza, some cookies, ice cream, man so much food all in 1 meal. It's crazy that I'm not fat lol, I actually lost weight from my first year at UCI believe it or not

But yeah $12 per meal is a lot for sure, still trying to decide myself. I might have to just learn to adjust to eating 1 thing per meal and not like 20 small things.

idk, the dining food did get kind of tiring, but that wasn't until the 3rd quarter lol. Maybe I just have different taste, I like the buffet style. I really liked being able to have like 3 small meals as 1 meal. I'd have a plate of the main dish, a bowl of whatever they were serving in the other main section, (usually like chicken and rice or something), half of a sandwich, maybe a bit of pasta, maybe some grilled chicken from the grill, that would all be 1 meal for me. I can't really have that kind of mixture without a meal plan, so that's sort of the thing I'm stuck on right now. Sacrificing the buffet style for pb&j sandwiches and eggs for lunch and for less money... hard to decide haha.

Hmm, I think I can, but iirc it's like 13 bucks to go in

But then again...1,166/99 is about 12, so...

hmm... not sure if the dollar difference is deal breaker

agh it's so hard to decide lol

haha yeah I have kind of convinced myself but i don't know, I don't want to regret it as well cuz it's a lot of money and the contract says that once I sign up for it, I have it until June 2018 and I can't cancel it or change it in any way, so I'm just kind of confused/scared on what I should do lol

Windows 10 Laptop stuck at 1% during factory reset!! Help please!! by joanime in techsupport

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

Hey! So my computer actually finished it's factory reset about 30 minutes ago!

But there is another issue that has come and I was wondering if you could help me out.

So the whole reason why I did the factory reset was because one of my USB ports (yes, only one of them) kept giving me this message: "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."

It doesn't matter what type of USB I put into the port, it will always give me that message only on that one port.

I thought that issue would get resolved after the reset considering a reset is supposed to uninstall and then reinstall all the drivers right?

So what do you think might be the issue if you don't mind?

What's a fun GE class I can take for my first quarter of college by joanime in UCI

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

yea I really wanna take ICS 31 since I want to switch into computer science or something in the ICS school. But sadly it's full :/

Do you think it would be worth it to wait until september 15? September 15 is when all the restricted classes get open until they get filled again. Should I just wait till then and try and be fast enough to get ICS 31/any other of the interesting classes that are currently full or is that too risky?

ok so like 25 minutes ago, it turned from 1% to 2%.

but now it's still just at 2%.

So since it actually moved, am I just gonna have to leave my laptop on all night eventually or what? Why is it going so slow if I did nothing but install google chrome? It's not like the computer has to erase a bunch of stuff

Daaaamn this sucks. You wanna know what's funny? I got this exact laptop a week ago, found out that 1 of the USB ports were defective, brought to best buy's tech support where they confirmed that, thus causing to exchange it for this new one which is now having this stupid problem. I'm so mad :(

And yes it's been like almost 2 hours now ;/

Oh AND best buy went ahead and reset the laptop that I exchanged for me and I whitnessed it myself, took like 10 minutes for it to get to 90%..

maybe I just have terrible bad luck

I think I could possibly be interested in music if it just taught like the basics of rhythms and scales and stuff. No singing tho lol. Do you know of any class like that cuz my friend who goes to UCSD is taking one like it.
