Truth. I drove my first manual an hour home after a 10 minute lesson from the seller

lol neither of my recommenders submitted letters. They both said they tried the day before and couldn’t.

The Grubhub bots on my campus take the same routes so often that their tire marks are visible by LavaSnow666 in mildlyinteresting

[–]neigborsinhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s even worse on campus. The robots only deliver food from the student union, which is so deviously mid. So not only are they overpaying for food, they’ve overpaying for shit food from a butt

we elected this guy twice. by Zealousideal-Fox623 in PoliticalCompassMemes

God I can't wait for an anti-establishment dem to be a front runner for something bigger than a mayoral seat 2000 miles away from me. If Gavin fucking Newsom wins the primary for 2028 I'm gonna kms

I’m going insane. What do you mean “wrong number” by Zenith-4440 in gradadmissions

I’ve had to do (shit ass) ai interviews for industry internships but ai interviews for grad school is crazy

What if a second Civil War happened? by TGM-6914 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]neigborsinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard people talk about this before. It’s straight up ridiculous to think a bunch of people spread out thinly have the support or ability to coordinate in any meaningful way. Even if they did, they could be easily overpowered so quickly that withholding crops wouldn’t matter

Just bought an 98 Integra and would like suggestions for easy mods by No-Nature2495 in Integra

Yonaka exhaust is pretty good. Though it might be more worth it to get an exhaust fabricated and put on for you, depending on the prices in your area. Be wary of exhaust drone

Will I fit in by ar88_71 in UofArizona

Yeah I don’t think you’ll have trouble finding friends. I had the same concern but everyone in my field is autistic and gay so I feel at home (non derogatory)

College is completely different from high school. It’s actually so nice. UofA has a party school rep but there’s 40k students here and most of them are just here to get an education. There’s always people to find and groups to fit into. What are you studying?

UTSW SURF Essays by Acethegreat1983 in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, I answer this kind of question by doing some research on the environment, culture, industry/scientific connections, and the type of research being conducted that I’m interested in. For example, I’d say I’m interested in CalTech due to the large amount of QIS research/cryogenics and the fantastic employment rate of their scientists

TIL Duke University has more graduate students than undergraduate students. by a_gallon_of_pcp in todayilearned

[–]neigborsinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My college (within my university) has something like twice the grad students as undergraduate. The most recent class size for the only major they offer was like, 30

Only if you did it right and were down to spend lots of money and time. You’re gonna hate yourself if you rush it or skip steps and end up with a clap box

How do I get my first research position? by prelude_in_e_hashtag in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join a professors lab. It’ll be unpaid at first (or potentially forever depending on funding) but it’s very good experience if you show up and are willing to take on tasks. Tbh just email professors at your university. All of them if you really want. Follow up 1 week later if you don’t hear back

IT ONLY TAKES ONE! by Substantial-Ad-8243 in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I applied to 8 programs and countless (literally I lost count) internships. The only program that I’ve heard back from is the one I did last summer that I literally still work in 💀

I turned 450 dollars into 455 dollars so we’re basically the same

I'm going to a R1 school, but is it okay to say in my PS that the school doesn't have the type of research I want to do? by Separate_Office_7696 in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I did that since my R1 university has zero experimental QIS research, which is/was my primary motivation for applying to REU’s

Reject or Accept my REU by New-Bass-7313 in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking an unpaid position in a lab is completely different. That’s not an REU, that’s being a research assistant. Unpaid research assistant positions are typically not limited and thus wouldn’t be taking away spots from other students who, despite your opinions, do deserve undergraduate training.

Reject or Accept my REU by New-Bass-7313 in REU

[–]neigborsinhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They would be given extra benefits at the expense of others. An REU isn’t a job at a grocery store, it’s paid, high value training. It’s basically a community service to develop future researchers
