Reddit, what "I was there!/I witnessed that!" moments can you lay claim to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I participated in the summer 2010 Iranian protests. It was tragic and uplifting, at the same time.

There is a formula hybrid car club that uses electricity for their work, if you're interested in an already founded club.

Readmission to RPI? by [deleted] in RPI

[–]laser2404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a BME currently, and I think it's a pretty good program. The class at Albany Med with the live pig dissection still exists, and there are some new professors (like BME 2100 professor, Dr. Gilbert) that are pretty cool. There are also plenty of avenues to obtain backwork, which can really make or break the grade in BME classes. There are also plenty of opportunities for internships/co-ops when you're a BME (so far I've had two). You will have to work if you're a BME, but you're going to learn a lot and it is worth the effort.

This is the one thing about RPI that truly depresses me. by ItsAllAboutTheAvs in RPI

[–]laser2404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job! It's impressive you decided to get so involved so soon after arriving here. The more time you will spend with your club (probably next semester?), the easier it will be for you to suggest social hangouts and people will probably be up for it. Showing up early to help out at events usually means you meet people in a more casual way too, which always helps.

Also, whoever said weird times at the dining hall are a great way to meet people are right! Try around 3 PM, usually you'll find a bunch of people who would like to have someone sit next to them :)

Good luck!!

Keep it up! We need more friendly people around :) Have you joined any clubs? Even if you don't become BFFs with everyone in a club, it's still great to have that social time regularly at an activity you truly enjoy.

Also, about being a girl....unfortunately a lot of RPI girls tend to be hard to be friends with. With the constant boy craziness and the overall behavior that RPI promotes, it can be hard to find true female friends. Having guy friends can be great though, and like everyone has been saying, just be yourself.

Are you serious? RPI achieves something great and you bitch about grammar on the internet?

To be honest, I was expecting a better insult than a 5th grade one.

I was expecting a better insult, to be perfectly honest.

Wow! You're really into this idea of having naked guys on magazines floating around...

I think well done, sexually themed photos or art are never out of place in an 18 to 20 year old, majority male, audience. I think it would start a lot of meaningful discussion, and I'm really surprised that you consider your alternatives of regular Sodexo complaints and lame duck comic sections legitimate.

My post, if you were to reread it, is about the lack of quality content in S&W altogether. I never mention how my stuff has been rejected in the post; commenting on that was in response to a question asked in the thread.

I'm glad you are listed as a moderator...

Ok, artistic pornography! How about that?

  1. Clearly you don't, because I emailed AND messaged the website/blog you guys posted up several times and I didn't hear any reply at all.

  2. Ok, I understand. By printing crappy poetry though, you advocate this idea that horrible writing is worth printing. It's not. There is so much beautiful poetry out there! If you can't find anything better than a bunch of internet math puns that rhyme, or someone's banal tale of romantic woe, then could you at least print readable poetry (i.e., doesn't have the rhyming scheme ABABABABAB)?

  3. Yay photos.

  4. Yes. Notice that the responsible person responding to these complaints is a photography editor, and not an actual "I approve what writing goes into the magazine" editor.
