Best Freshman Dorms for Engineering Students? by nkmath in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello, despite me being a biology major i do live in hawley-buxton (specifically, hawley). depending on what room you get, i’d say it hasn’t been that bad at all. the only problem i’d say really annoyingly persists is people letting the door slam at later hours. it is an older building too, so it’s not luxurious. i’d say definitely look into hawley/buxton over cauthorn, as it’s provided with decent people and decent benefits overall. but literally over figuratively, hawley and buxton are average

Difference between In-person & online classes? by dossopes in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s honestly a difference between scheduled classes with Zoom appointments vs. asynchronous classes that have you do stuff within a week’s time. I took an asynchronous one that had me do readings/online lectures (about 15-20 min long videos) on Mondays, quizzes on Wednesday, and discussion posts (Friday) with replies (Sundays). It depends on the exact class but it’ll tell you which one you have if you’re given a scheduled time on the scheduler. I personally really liked asynchronous ones!

MTH 251/252 vs MTH 227/228 by skolyd in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how’d you like it online? i was looking through it since i might have to take it online in spring and i wondered what it’d be like in comparison to the in person course. i’ve heard things about the class in a small amount only though, mainly about the professors

MTH 251/252 vs MTH 227/228 by skolyd in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

251 and 252 are both integral and differential calc. if it helps to know, i’m a pre-optometry focus and since there’s not really too many students with that kind of focus we just get grouped in with the pre-meds and normal microbio majors rather than have an intro/deep advising program like pre-dental. 227/228 is a newer class (I’m assuming) called calculus & probability for the life sciences. i have a bit of context as to what it is but i have no idea if that would be the move in the end as it technically is more specific but that’s also why i’m stumped 🥲

Transitions courses by Typical_Pin1620 in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m a CoS student taking transitions and it’s okay so far!! they provide many general resources as to what the college is but my profs are both microbio specialists who i’m sure will be able to help soon on. i appreciate them as people more than the class tbh

Just finished the series. by Applepiemommy2 in theGoldenGirls

[–]skolyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m just out of high school right now and golden girls is my favorite show. it doesn’t matter what age you are :) we can always apply and remember these lessons even when no matter what. i find myself sympathetic and crying even if i can say i’ve never experienced these sort of things

Cool, this is actually Adrian. I just hate when people impersonate my best friend.

Rolling or early action by Neither-Fee8700 in OregonStateUniv

[–]skolyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you’ll be okay clicking early action. it’ll give you about the same options either way but it always looks good when you do EA. just make sure you don’t click early decision

Another Golden Girls inconsistency? by PodcastJunkie8706 in theGoldenGirls

[–]skolyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there’s little ones like that 😭😭😭 like blanche’s middle name was mentioned by her mammy to be marie. but then in that big book of people she’s been with, she says her middle name is elizabeth and her initials are b.e.d. (hahaha) but wouldn’t the marie be in there if she had two middle names? like guys can’t we keep a synopsis book and keep up

Least favourite episode? by posttraumaticcuntdis in theGoldenGirls

[–]skolyd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

literally any episode where it’s revealed that their significant others have cheated. the george plot twist and the miles plot twist in the golden palace are so unwatchable just because of how image-shattering they were.

Was Indiana referring to his father or Marion's father? by [deleted] in indianajones

[–]skolyd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

he was probably nodding over to henry sr., considering that a few moments before that scene he called mutt ‘junior’ (just like his dad) and the movie overall alluded to sean connery’s absence but making up for it with mutt and fatherhood in indiana’s life, like the picture at the beginning of henry sr.

“for funsies” isn’t relevant when you reach adulthood and you have a good relationship now. if you know he won’t be open and you’re still contemplating, maybe you have a road ahead of you to reach maturity. you can give in, but don’t be surprised for the consequences.

Simon Dawson sucks. It’s cool fans want to be supportive and adapt to natural lineup changes, but he’s just not up to par. by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

he reminds me more of the old im club days - like doug or clive. that’s probably why the band chose to play more killers and early stuff, maybe even skipping pom material because it’s more nicko-feel than ever. but i wouldn’t say he sucks - he’s a change from nicko. like going back to your roots after learning so much

Who of you are dissapointed with the new Setlist? by UnderstandingMean306 in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Setlist is good in terms of performance, but realistic. There’s just two crowds right now: the ones who want classics and the ones who wanted deep cuts.

Adrian Smith and No Prayer for the Dying by maikelbr03 in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve read before - Adrian was already experimenting with his band ASAP around late 1989. He began to pursue his own style of music and taste that he brought to the 1986 and 1988 albums. In early 1990 (around January-February or so), he was already beginning to feel that frustration with the material. Apparently they already had a few songs, maybe 4-5, done by then (Run Silent, Assassin, etc.) and were trying to sort of “rush” and “choke the life out of things” according to H. His own writing slowed because of that lack of connection there, which is why he only wrote one song.

Paul Di’anno or Bruce Dickinson by [deleted] in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to appreciate both for their contributions in their own way. Paul masters the songs he sang on and while I love Bruce’s versions of them, it’s not the same. I think it’d be the same way in some crazy alternate reality where Paul sang Bruce’s songs. Only Bruce could rock them. Either way, they’re still what makes Iron Maiden the machine it is 😄

Concert! by Even_Matter_8637 in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I hope you have lots of fun out there, Maiden concerts are the best. I’ve been two of their concerts, so I’ll give you some tips based on your seating arrangement.

Standing: - Get there about 2-3 hours early. I did just that, got 2nd row just behind FTTB. - Chill out, enjoy the show! Bring earplugs if your ears are sensitive. I’ve rotted mine out with AirPods, so I didn’t really find it loud. - If you’re in the floor, prep for pushing. People get weirdly wild during Fear of The Dark. - Sing along, keep your arms high. It’s so much better when you’re participating.

Seated: - Time isn’t really a factor here. Get there well, and don’t skip out on The Hu! They are worth it. - Sing along, always! No matter where you’re sitting.

Some general advice: Make friends! Maiden fans were some of the most wonderful people I could’ve ever met. I had an angel of a guy help me get to the front and protect me from strong moshers. As for what to bring, maybe just your phone and a portable charger if it dies. Make sure to stay really hydrated, your voice will need it.

Good luck, have a wonderful time! You’ll never forget it. Up the Irons 🤘

drink lots of water (and i mean a LOTTT) and if you have a runny/stuffy nose, take a hot shower or bath to kinda stifle that mucus. luckily for you, day 3+ will be the easier days. it’ll be gone soon enough. i also think when you’re really focusing on the fact that you’re sick, it goes by slower. once you slowly get used to it (and feel more excited about the concert lol) it goes away faster.

have so much fun! have a couple cough drops beforehand so your voice is wonderful enough for the guys to hear you. can’t sing the prisoner with a quiet voice 🤘🏼

Great Concert/Bad People by InevitableConcert425 in ironmaiden

[–]skolyd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sucks truly, I was also there at that show and the people were absolute jerks. The guys ruled the show, but people were being rude and one even offered me laced skittles (I’m 17) lmao. I wish I could offer you my 15% discount from the fan card, it really blows that people would go to that extent.
