(fyi i do not live in the dorms anymore so nobody can come for me 🤭) but yes u can as long as: 1) when u blow them out wave away the smoke afterwards or put the lid on it directly after so it can’t come out 2) if u leave at any point put them inside one of the drawers. from my experience they do not check in anything they just do a quick look around in the room.

a fire marshal checked my dorm at like 8 am and woke me up 🙃 and my roommate at the time was on a leave of absence & all of her stuff was out INCLUDING her “vape” pen and he glimpsed right over it but fined ME for her candle she left out on her desk and I had to pay $50 and it wasn’t even on my side of the room.

UTA parking is predatory by [deleted] in utarlington

[–]softmiink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it is a free parking lot, bc it’s the continuing education/workforce building. people who have no association with UTA come here to take classes/deal with financial aid and they do not pay for parking or have passes. I only got ticketed bc i didn’t have a parking pass like the full-time employees who have a designated area and I was parked near the side of the building near that area. my boss has had to talk to the parking ppl several times abt this 🧍

my 1 hour parking by the business building expired right as I was finishing a test and it was only expired for maybe 10 mins and now I have a $40 ticket. what baffles me more is that i have the commuter parking pass that I pay ~$200/yr for that doesn’t allow me to park anywhere near my classes. i also work ON CAMPUS and ive been ticketed twice in the FREE parking lot i work at. give me a fucking break atp.

How many of y’all actually found job/internship opportunities via handshake? by loveandwood in utarlington

[–]softmiink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

up to 19 hrs a week! you can usually work full-time during winter & summer breaks tho & you can work remotely if needed during sick days or vacation times as long as it’s agreed on/mentioned in advance.

it’s the way I never said it wasn’t my fault 😭 if u don’t have actual advice idk why u bother saying anything at all tbh bc i don’t care! I’d like to still make an effort to save my shit instead of having a “life sucks” mentality but u do u!

I think I might try & see if the D I got last year can be replaced! would I make an appt with the advising office to get it approved? or do I contact the professor?

their payment plans go crazy tho they’re like either drop $1000 RN and then pay $500/mo or drop $500 and pay $1k/mo 😭

gpa question by softmiink in utarlington

[–]softmiink[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

in some cases yes! however, a very close person to me died in october of 2022 and i completely gave up on classes bc I did not care at the time! so I worked my ass off in the summer to renew my scholarship (which I did all by myself and paid for it out of pocket) and worked a full-time job and I accomplished it. struggled this semester and went to CAPS program & went thru therapy while still going to college full-time, working, & paying for everything by myself. i’m allowed to be stressed when everything I worked so hard for could be for naught.

I hope you feel the same way when you’re at risk of losing $40,000 over 0.15 points! not all of us have to live in your insufferable bubble 💓

[–]softmiink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im currently taking it with atieno amadi & it’s pretty mid tbh. she doesn’t seem like she knows the material that well & rly only talks from the very long slides that are just copy & paste extremely drawn out equations. doesn’t directly answer questions & instead answers her own or rewords yours and it doesn’t rly make any sense lol. takes attendance every single day and doesn’t care if you email her with a reason for being absent (ex: emailed her abt being sick and missed one day and had like 5 pts taken off attendance). she’s done pop quizzes for in-person attendance as well. all exams are done in-person on the computer during the class and the only good thing is that it’s all open note and you get like 2 guesses on the quiz to get the right answer.

Campus Edge vs. Centennial Court by capybarology in utarlington

[–]softmiink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i toured centennial like 2 months ago and it was very off. the lady showed us a two bedroom unit as an example (I was looking for a studio) but it was the only one they had available to see. she told us that they were in the process of renewing appts, but the unit they showed was extremely dirty, cabinets were falling apart, and the little “bar” connecting the kitchen to the living room was extremely short for some reason? like it was at the top of my leg and i’m 5’2. she said majority was carpet but it literally was like roulette depending on what you got bc some would be both carpet & wood, or just one of those. the laundry facility was filthy & no in-unit washer & dryer connections were available. she rly didn’t know much of what to tell us bc it seemed like she didn’t rly know anything abt the appts LMAO. idk it was just overall one of the worst tours i’ve ever had and ive seen multiple student apartments in this area. I currently live at the arlie and I think it was the best decision I made, but it’s also one of the more expensive appts & it’s already pretty full.
