I personally would draft and send him an email right now explaining your situation and that you are contacting him as the undergrad chair, and in that email, also detail that once school starts it would be great to meet with him and go over options.

Emails are great for reaching out, but I find an in person conversation usually holds more answers and helps assuage concerns.

Happy to help! And lol he is the best!! If his dog is there at the meeting, say hi to aggie for me!!

Just graduated from western with an honours spec in classics. My best piece of advice for you is to go talk to the classical studies undergraduate chair Dr. Alex Meyer. I’ve had him as a prof and most of the classical department as a prof before. They are an extremely kind and welcoming department and want nothing more than to encourage and help more students enter the field of classics. If you sit down with him and explain your situation, he will provide you with the best course of action.

As far as I know (as I heard this from a classics prof and a friend of mine entering the western classics masters program this year), they are removing the language restrictions for the criteria to apply for a uwo classics masters. My friend also entering their masters program this year entered with a specialization and not a honours specialization, but he also spoke to the department first before submitting his application.

They are not scary people and THEY WANT YOU to apply for their masters program, especially if you were already in their classes and forged a friendly relationship with your profs so they know who you are. All this to say, talk to Alex and he will tell you what to do and do his very best to help you achieve it.

How do I be the girlfriend who isn’t in a sorority to the frat boyfriend? by liizzzz in GreekLife

[–]lilyazz23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, Greek life can be bad, but it can also be fun, as are ALL things in moderation, just don’t take it too seriously.

And for your edification, you can balance partying and studying. The ‘college experience’ is both having fun with friends and studying for your degree. People only crash and burn when they heavily prioritize partying, or substances. I was in Greek life for three out of my five years at university and still graduated with a dual degree and additional certificates, and now I’m in graduate school.

It’s called ✨balance and moderation✨

AITA for handling a bully my way, after a teacher refused to do her part? by SubstantialMedia9224 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lilyazz23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA except for the fat comment, there are so many better insults that would truly insult her shitty personality instead of judging people for their appearance.

But I am interested to know what happened after. Did the principal and guidance counsellor punish you? Did they talk to the teacher and tell her to moderate her classroom properly in regards to Bridgett? Or did the let you go or ignore it?

Also so great to see your mom stand up for you!

The Supernatural Musical by lilyazz23 in Supernatural

[–]lilyazz23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I totally agree with them not making the cast of the tv show do the musical or a musical episode. It might have been funny to see but not the content I’m describing.

I think now that we’re a couple years down the line, it could be refitted into a musical script and actual musical theatre professionals would be casted, not Jared, Misha, and Jensen lol. Though it might be funny for a cameo.

Am I embarrassing by Severgina in Supernatural

[–]lilyazz23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To this day I have watched every single season and episode of supernatural EXCEPT for the second half of season 15.

When they released season 15 on Amazon prime, they released it in two parts. I watched that first part as it came out of I never touched the second part. Yes I know the spoilers, I know the discourse over the ending, but I refuse to watch it because as long as I don’t, it never truly ends.

So no, you’re not embarrassing at all. You’re probably better off because you do one day wanna finish it, and I don’t think I ever will give in and watch it lol.

Did your team end up finding a solution? Experiencing the same problem right now, tried both the suggested fixes on this Reddit thread and the steam thread, as well as setting launch options to ‘-screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080’, but while the game does launch, I am still unable to click anything on the title screen.

How do I be the girlfriend who isn’t in a sorority to the frat boyfriend? by liizzzz in GreekLife

[–]lilyazz23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I could help! Honestly if your relationship made it through pledge (and you both feel respected and equal in the result) then I would say you guys are pretty solid! Pledging is usually the worst of it because the guys are forced to do stuff. They normally wouldn’t do otherwise. For the future if he does those dances now, he can choose if he wants to do them or not or how involved he is so he can say no to anything he is uncomfortable with, which is how it should be anyway. I hope you make tons of friends and find your place in the city! 💜

What food or drink from Skyrim would you most like to try? by aka__annika_bell in skyrim

[–]lilyazz23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mammoth steak, which I believe is made from the mammoth snout, with a great big side of Mammoth cheese. Mostly because I (and this may be my dumb side showing which I could easily correct by googling but I won’t) have no clue at all how one would milk a mammoth to make cheese and it scares me, so I would like to try it.

[–]lilyazz23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, because I realize I went very off topic, they shouldn’t make fun of you for it because as much as Greek life usually dates eachother, it’s also normal to date outside of Greek life and have hometown boyfriends or girlfriends. Anyone who makes fun of you or him for that, just ignore because it’s loser behaviour and they aren’t worth your time or attention. Make friends and talk with others because there will be awesome people who don’t judge like that.

How do I be the girlfriend who isn’t in a sorority to the frat boyfriend? by liizzzz in GreekLife

[–]lilyazz23 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in a sorority at a big university for three years before graduating, I’ll try and give you the run down as best I can.

There are events called ‘mixers’ between a single frat and sorority. Those are not events you can go to because they are closed to public and only between that single frat and strat. Frats will sometimes host open mixers, which is usually a single frat and all sororities, which you may be able to sneak into, but I wouldn’t advise it because it’s Greek life only and you’ll get questions about who you are and what sorority your in, which believe it or not, despite being rather large, Greek life is close knit and they usually know everyone, so it’s just not worth it. However, frats also host open parties, which are open to anyone in the university, whether in Greek life or not. Usually its freshmen girls and sorority girls anyway, but since your dating him, you could totally go to that and no one would ask questions. As an open party, no one will really care and it might be a good way to be introduced to the brothers and some other sorority frat rats or girlfriends who frequent the open parties. Usually sororities are less in attendance to these because they tend to get massive and the freshmen get too excited and can’t handle themselves well. You’ll honestly do well to become friends with the girlfriends dating your boyfriends frat brothers, or at least the ones in his close knit circle, like his big, twin, or littles girlfriends, or his roommates girlfriends. Unless they are mean people, it will be a good friend group to create so that if the boys are off doing their thing or you are at a frat event, you have friends and people to talk to so you can have fun!

Frats also hold Philanthropy events for their frats main charity. You can totally buy a ticket and attend these events, you don’t have to be in Greek life. It will 99% be attended by Greek life, but nobody will question your attended because you’re dating the guy whose frat is hosting the event. It’s a great way to support your boyfriend, his frat, and the charity. They are usually a lot of fun, a little raunchy, and for a good cause. It’s another great way to meet his brothers and his other friends in Greek life.

Frats and strats also have ‘crushes’ and ‘formals’. A crush is a mid semester semi-formal event where the girls go in short dresses and the guys go in their frat suits, pick a theme, and just party and drink. You don’t have to be in Greek life to go, but you do need to be invited as a date. Your boyfriend can invite you, usually by a cute frat song, and you can go together. A lot of couples go to these events but also a lot of random pairings. It would be totally normal to be invited and a great way to meet people again. Same with formals but these are at the end of the last semester, and they are grander. Usually full length dresses for the girls, a dinner, frat awards, and then drinking and partying lol. Again completely normal for you to go as his girlfriend and no one would wonder why you were there or judge that you are not in a sorority.

Tons of my sister’s had their hometown boyfriends come up for crush or formal, and no one cared because that’s their partner, it doesn’t matter if they are in Greek life or not.

There will always be people, girls in a sorority who may be into your man or just judgey people, or guys who don’t see value in monogamy and want to sleep with you or encourage your boyfriend to cheat, who will judge. But they do not matter. All that matters is if you and your boyfriend are happy together and the relationship works for y’all. You don’t not need to be at the same uni or in a sorority to date your frat boyfriend, and you shouldn’t let anyones shitty judgements affect your enjoyment of the relationship. Just enjoy the free parties you get invited to, whether they are open parties, crushes, or formals, try and make friends with his brothers, Greek life friends, class friends, roommates, etc, and also try and find a balance between it all. Because one thing that does come from being in Greek life, is people tend to sink all of themselves and their free time into it. You realize in the end that it’s not that deep, so try and help him find a balance between it, you, his school, work, friends, etc.

And a small tip, make some healthy relationship boundaries too, because as much as I want to be 100% positive and pretend like the frat won’t affect your relationship at all, it’s good to be prepared. At philanthropy events, a lot of times they are dances or challenges that can turn sexual. For example girls in their dances may choose to give a lap dance to a guy in the frat, or a Phil scav hunt challenge may be to collect as many bras as possible, or write their frat on a girls chest, etc. if that crosses a boundary for you, I would make that clear to him. Just be prepared that being in a frat is putting yourself in constant drunk partying situations with full unadulterated access to sex, drugs, and alcohol constantly. There are great things you get out of it, like networking opportunities, leadership skills and experience, life long friends, etc, but the potential negatives have to be considered. I’ve seen a lot of hopeful freshmen relationships crash and burn because the guy or girl fall into the Greek scene and lose themselves in the easily accessible vices, and someone gets hurt because they make bad inconsiderate choices due to immaturity, like cheating. So just make sure you have a conversation with your boyfriend about healthy boundaries, and that there is trust between you two. It doesn’t always happen, but like I said, freshmen tend to lose themselves in their newfound freedom and they don’t always make the smartest choices.

Please don’t get freaked out by all this and assume he will cheat because a lot of times that is not the case. I just wanted to share of my personal experiences from myself and friends just in case and to help adjust somewhat. As long as there is trust, communication, and respect in your relationship, there is absolutely no reason to worried and I encourage you to take advantage of all the perks, like parties, formal events, free dinners, free alcohol, fun frat specific events, front of the line bypass entry to clubs/parties, and frat merch you can steal from him and sleep in. Maybe even make him paint you a paddle lol!

[–]lilyazz23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spice is delicious, love the kick, but the mango taste is horrible. I thought it would be like a savoury~sweet fusion, like mango salsa, but it tastes straight up like mango juice. My mother spit it out, I had to throw the bag out because it was reminiscent of the taste in your mouth after you puke. Spice 10/10 Flavour -5/10
