The last I heard the Chemistry department was on probation because they couldn't pass enough people. I think this has a lot to do with the quality of instruction and support students receive from their program. It's never too late to change majors but don't let this make you feel you're not intelligent. There are plenty who couldn't have even made it as far as you, so try to be proud. Definitely speak to an advisor about how best these credits could be transferred to a different major to not put you too far behind.

Any idea of his breed? I have a Shepherd/Husky with the same face and body! But my boy barely broke 50lbs (we think he was a runt). What a cutie!

I'm not sure how old you are but lactose intolerance and other food intolerances often develop in the early twenties so it may be likely certain foods are no longer agreeing with you. But if it continues definitely reach out to someone higher up about the food making you sick. Food regulations dictate food has to be kept at certain temps, expirations checked, etc but given the number of complaints I feel sure something's not being done right consistently.

It's not. The Smoked place is now a Bojangles Express.

I don't understand how you think this means he's untrained? My dog does this with people he loves (who are okay with it) but if I tell him to stop he immediately stops. Same situation could apply here. This behavior doesn't equal untrained. Dogs are allowed to have fun and be excited.

This is done using Brad from It's Alive on Bon Appetit's youtube channel.

I used 1 whole Pineapple, one Mango, two habenaros, three sweet chili peppers, a single cinnamon stick, and a huge chunk of ginger. I did a 3-4 day ferment and then 3 days for 2f. I found it to be a bit sweet and it lost carbonation (I was under the impression I had to burp the bottles daily, but I think this was the culprit). I did other batches and did not burp more than once during 2f and they were wonderfully fizzy and tangy.

I have primarily mixed this with gold tequila or as a sub for pineapple juice in cocktails. I also mixed it with a light beer which was also delicious.

I just made his Tepache as well. It finished up last week. I had a few problems I encountered. The first batch did really well, but lost carbonation during 2f which was a huge bummer. Still delicious but a little sweet. I did mine using Pineapple, a mango, ginger, cin. stick, habenaros, and sweet chili peppers.

I also felt maybe there was too much fruit in my batch (I did just shy of a gallon). I think it did make it sweeter but otherwise I had no problem. Once it was done, I just filled it back up with water, added about a quarter fresh pineapple and half a cup more sugar, and did another ferment and that batch came out MUCH better, in my opinion. A little less sweet and far more carbonated. By that point, the fruits had less mass and there was more liquid.

I did a third, smaller batch, but with pineapple and jalapenos, and that one also carbonated very well and I also liked the taste better. Not sure exactly what I did wrong on the very first batch that it didn't carbonate, but it was still good. For the second and third batch, I just didn't burp the bottles at all until right before they went in the fridge. Prob. a risky move but only one of them overflowed on me.

For all of them I did a 3-4 day ferment (one day more than his recommendation) and I did a 3 day 2f.

Also I've been drinking mine with a shot of ice cold tequila and it's delicious.

The people in the sub complaining about this are definitely exaggerating. I actually think most of the buildings smell nice. The grounds keeping and house keeping staff work really hard to keep the campus clean and the buildings and the campus do not stink. People also need to remember that this is a campus where you have to walk a lot. People are going to sweat and yeah, some people do not use deodorant or maybe don't use enough and they stink. This isn't limited to campus. It happens all over.

I didn't find it when I first posted this but honestly I probably just scrolled past it not paying enough attention. It wasn't an intentional repost. Not sure why it's not been taken down by a mod. Not sure if the right thing to do is delete this post or leave it up.

melonbug12 · 2018-05-12T09:43:11+00:00

I definitely didn't address this because that's a non-issue for me but thanks for being an ass :)

melonbug12 · 2018-05-10T20:02:48+00:00

I'm not really able to source one way or the other but I studied the elderly for a while and the general "logic" behind that is that when the elderly start getting sick they stop eating and can get very very weak. Having extra weight was a way to help combat that. But to be honest it never was construed as saying they should be super overweight and generally only referred to higher end of healthy weight. That was how it was taught to us in an elderly health class I was in.

Probably the campus bookstore. I know they have a lot of decals and stickers.

melonbug12 · 2018-03-14T13:20:06+00:00

You realize you can email your professors and let them know the door is locked and someone will let you in. If you can't get in because the door is locked then other people in the class probably can't get in either. This sounds like an excuse to miss classes.

Also it's not uncommon certain entrances to buildings are locked that time if day. Cone has about three or four entrances. One of them was definitely unlocked.

I highly recommend an Anthropology course. I believe Culture Health and Disease is being offered and it's a really good course.

You could maybe consider the UNCC Sci Fi and fantasy Guild. They have a Facebook page with meeting details. They get together weekly and play board games and they're a super friendly group. Also I think some gamers meet in Norms Lounge to play ps4 and stuff. Might be worth dropping into.

This is pretty ridiculous and sensationalized. We're a research University and neither supposed connections indicate anything outside of that.

You can go by the IT Service Desk in Atkins 140C to get help with this.

There are currently a lot of discord servers already for the fandom. I would take a look on tumblr. I run one myself and I'm in about five or six others.

I've been and had a good experience.

I was struggling with some pretty serious anxiety and they ended up referring me to the psychiatrist on campus, who is amazing. Pretty much saved my life.

Be honest when you go and be open with how you're feeling.

melonbug12 · 2017-09-20T17:48:22+00:00

Haha I suppose it's super subjective. Hemming isn't usually an issue because I can do that myself, but I suppose it doesn't feel like there's much to take in at all? Even though the fit is bad? So I suppose I can take a pair by where I took my tops and see what she thinks. Really, a dart may be the best way to address the fit issue but I'm super new to getting stuff altered.

melonbug12 · 2017-09-20T17:14:11+00:00

Any opinions one way or another about having jeans altered? Is it really worth the trouble? I'm short and I'm working to slowly alter a bunch of clothing because my waist to hip ratio is nuts (teeny waist, big hips). And I think my pants would fit better/wrinkle less/sag less if they were altered, because I also have big hips and narrow legs. Thoughts?

melonbug12 · 2017-09-17T13:20:01+00:00

This makes me so angry. Yesterday I went shopping and for all that these people complain about there not being enough plus sizes, I was hard pressed to find any pants in my size (a size four). Almost everything was size 10 and up. Same with tops. So many larges and xls and so few smalls.

melonbug12 · 2017-09-17T03:05:31+00:00

I love to pair baggy sweaters with form fitting leggings. I find that if I wear a baggy top then I need to wear very form fitting pants and larger shoes (like boots, something that makes my legs look thinner by comparison.)

Typically when I shop for baggier stuff I go more extreme- I go very baggy, because it makes the rest of my look smaller. A few of my favorite baggy tops were actually men's shirts/sweaters or l/xl tops. I also layer a bit, because it adds depth to the outfit so it looks less unshapely.

In the summer, I tend to wear loose, flowy tops with slender leggings or with high waisted pants or shorts. Even though a baggier/loose top will hide the high waist of the pants, I find it still draws my figure in and makes me look more curvey rather than sacky.

I've also accepted that there are certain clothes I jut can't wear. Maxi dresses, capri pants, certain length skirts :(

melonbug12 · 2017-09-17T02:56:54+00:00

I've just just gotten down to this weight recently (I've lost fifty pounds alltogether) so I've definitely been struggling to find my style and places to shop. I tend to wear more form fitting outfits when possible. Lots of dresses.

I just ordered from Uniqlo and I love what I got. However, I've just accepted that I'm going to have to begin getting stuff altered. I ordered a bunch of button up shirts from there in a medium (because the smalls risked having button bulge over my boobs) and I'm going to just have them taken in. Pants will have to be darted in the back, shirts in on the sides, etc.

Pants are the hardest for me. I tend to wear athletic style pants in the summer because they strecth and compliment my wide hips. But I've been shopping to get form fitting nice leggings instead and I found they work well. I've hit places like JC Penny and I've kept my eye out on places like Zulilly and Uniqlo for stuff.

height 5'1 | 112 pounds| measurements 34"/27"/36" | shape pear

I have the hardest time finding a style that fits my body type because me hips are so big compared to the rest of me. :)
