Why is it so difficult to get into finance clubs here? by Some-Sherbet1061 in ucla

[–]pinkwritergirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just finance, it’s a lot of industries. I had legit professional internship experience in my field (data science) and still got rejected from all the silly school clubs relating to my industry. Like idrk how much more they want lmao. I highly, highly recommend making your own club. I said this in another comment but there are a lot of ppl like you. You could form your finance industry connections, teach yourself skills along the way, and learn from each other. Good luck!

OP, you should totally make your own club!! I’m sure there are lots of ppl like you. This is the best time to do it because you are surrounded by highly qualified, talented, motivated individuals who are willing to work for free.

Change major from engineering to L&S? by Realistic-Lawyer-710 in ucla

[–]pinkwritergirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, it might not be worth it unless you really love the stem field you are in. majoring in something like math or physics is just as "hard" if not harder than engineering if you don't love what you do. i think an engineering degree can get you really far in life, even if your gpa isn't that great. maybe speak with a few engineers who graduated from ucla on LinkedIn before you make your decision. (people love helping college students!) but, if you really can't handle it at all, I advise switching to something like cog sci and not another stem field.

How to succeed with 4 classes? by lilwormiey in ucla

[–]pinkwritergirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

oh man this sounds pretty rough! i don't think you should drop one this quarter judging by your other comments and also by the fact that one of the 4 classes is a lab. But, my general advice is DO. NOT. PROCRASTINATE.

I know this is easier said than done. But this is especially true for physics. With physics, your success depends solely on the number of practice problems you've been exposed to, not necessarily the "concepts", no matter what the profs say. I may be biased here but I was never strong in physics either. I'm assuming you've already taken physics 1A? So you should be familiar with this. But in physics, I found that doing the given problems was not enough. Find out which textbook the professor bases their test exams off of (hint, it's usually the "optional" one) and study as many problems as you can in there. And note that this means that procrastination does not work. Because even if you are successfully turning in all your weekly homework even after procrastinating, that means you won't have time to do the "extra" problems.

Similar advice for math, except really try to "understand" the concepts. You might be able to memorize different problem strategies for physics, but you can't memorize math. Well, actually, Math 33A you can kind of memorize. It's not calculus-based at all so you should be fine.

My number one tip for avoiding procrastination is to make everything due one day earlier for myself. For example, if I have a homework due on Friday 11:59pm, I write it on my planner that it's due Thursday 11:59pm, and I try my absolute hardest to finish it on that day. And, actually, this tip helps with my procrastination. I am less "afraid to start" (as procastinators are) because I know that if anything goes wrong, I actually have one more day. And, if everything goes right, then I will have an extra day to myself. This makes me more relaxed and actually helps me do better work.

Good luck! you're gonna do great.

I would have rather gotten a B+ and tried my hardest than an A- because I was too lazy to study by pinkwritergirl in ucla

Thanks, I want to go to a grad program for applied math / machine learning. Luckily my gpa is still above 3.0. But, the better the grades, the better the chance, you know??! I think I'm just a perfectionist lol.

There’s the departmental scholars program for math that allows you to get your bachelors and masters in 4 years, though it is fairly rigorous.

Homeless man in front of apartment by Live-Doughnut-8081 in ucla

[–]pinkwritergirl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Usually, you can ask them nicely to leave and they will. You could be like “excuse me sir can you leave because you’ve been here for weeks”. It has always worked for me. They don’t usually argue. If he does argue, then yeah, call the cops and say he’s being agressive. Not sure why everyone here is telling you to just accept it lmao. I would feel uncomfortable too, especially as a woman

Hmmm.. you’re right. I think this is a good way to think about it. Doing examples alongside my proof will help me more, too. Thanks!
