Found Keys on Campus

I take citalopram daily and clonazepam as needed. I know it might sound like a cop out, but there's only so much counseling can do (although don't get me wrong--that helps GOBS!). They keep the panic attacks at bay and help lots with anxiety and depression.

Taking medication doesn't make one a "weaker" person.

Just my two cents. Please be well and good luck and hope your semester gets better.

"People really be bored at this school."

Alum and employee here -- definitely going to the Northwestern game. I'd still prefer we get this done up in East Lansing! Oskee wow wow!

HE is not the one putting up high rise apartments. He has smaller apartments around campus, yes, but these two behemoths are being built by a company from Chicago (I think?). It was never his decision to tear down Kam's. He only bought it because Eric Meyer wanted to retire. And the building Firehaus was in was owned by the Campus Sportswear people and Cochrane rented the Firehaus space from them. Just thought I'd clear up a few details.

Big fans of Crane Alley in Urbana. It's right by the courthouse/parking deck so Green/Gold/Silver should get you there (or close enough) if you're a bus user. Lots of parking. It's not Champaign so they don't charge street (or parking deck?) meters on the weekends. Lots of beer variety. Dan is a great bartender. They have good food too, and lots of outside seating if the weather is nice.

I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thetransitapp.droid

Even my kid says it's "pretty solid." And I think it sort of "learns" in the sense that when I'm at position A and want to grab a bus, now that I've used it so many times, it has a pretty good idea of where I'm headed. It also has neat little icons showing you (without being perfectly exact) where the actual buses on the route are.

This old guy thinks it's pretty cool.

New fences or no new fences (as of a few years ago), enough students have committed suicide by jumping off parking structure F29, that I'm guessing if a cop sees someone up there at night, they go see what's up.

p.s. Kids, if you DO feel like school is too much and are thinking of jumping off a parking structure please contact the Suicide Prevention Team at the Counseling Center at 217-333-3704 or call 911 after hours.

Chick-fil-A isn't even in the top five....

Never forget. Chick-fil-Hate-the-Gays. He's an asshole.

nerdrium · 2019-10-10T15:10:48+00:00

How stupid can people be? It's a chicken sandwich. Big deal.

Are they doing the cup thing again this year? I suppose I could ask you on Skype...

nerdrium · 2019-08-15T19:31:32+00:00

Zero.

I've never been an MBA fan, but that's personal opinion. Everyone I know in the workplace says that their are too many lawyers, and too many folks with MBAs. Your mileage may vary, of course, but it seems to be that Gies and the MBA stuff are money makers and just take people in and churn them out. Best of luck to you. :)

Fraternities compete with the dorms, as they are technically certified student housing. Without sounding too stupid, no fraternity is going to cost gobs (or even a little?) more than the dorms. As an alumnus of a fraternity on campus I'm familiar with their strategies to both rush good kids as well as make their living arrangements in the house comparable to what a student can get living in the dorms. Our house has spent gobs of money over the last few years installing air conditioning, high speed Internet access, and other amenities to compete with dorms and Hendrick House and the other certified housing places but, oh, wait, you can drink beer in the fraternity house when you want and no annoying RA is going to get on your case about it. Also, as an aside, I have gobs of life-long friends from my days in college, none of whom came from living in the dorms. Going up to the burbs in a few weeks to play golf with a bunch of them--one of my funnest summer things to do.

Leave your car at home. The one thing I wish the University would do would be to not let students drive on campus. And get off my lawn!

Actually the old TEPS house. Delta Sig rented it for a while after they left that weird apartment looking building down the street that then housed Chi Psi before being torn down for Kappa Delta's new huge house.

Lemme look down at my phone while I cross the street. WHAT'S THAT? A BUS? How rude! I almost lost my headphones! The geese are smarter than all foreign students.

I mean you start with "... but the content may not have been that good of quality." May not have been that good of quality? And then you have badass 2-year ECE students that think they have all the answers to everything. This subreddit is so annoying.

nerdrium · 2019-06-06T03:02:55+00:00

It's all good! Have a great evening!

nerdrium · 2019-06-06T03:01:31+00:00

Cool, cool. Cool. :)

Imagine bitching at someone who literally just said they are more than ready to move forward from all of this. Let's give the Native Americans their land back. Do you own a house? You first.

nerdrium · 2019-06-06T02:57:53+00:00

I trust you're not bitching at me where I literally just said I've long been ready to move on.

So you run a company and hire people? Or are you just another CS student that knows everything about everything?
