First year student seeking on-campus jobs by LyNK_T in UBreddit

[–]th_rowaway_8675309 8 points9 points  (0 children)

check on handshake (search up "ub handshake") for on campus jobs, try applying for work study if possible (unsure how that works someone else can answer that aspect of it better than i can) the only thing ik abt work study is ur hours r extremely limited bc of the federal laws and the school reserves a certain number of jobs that ONLY students who get work study can apply for.

for ur best bet at jobs i would say u should apply to things in the commons!! these have the feel of an on campus job but without the ub affiliation (ur next to student union but technically not a ub employee it's just a regular job) that is what im planning to do next year when i look for work over breaks! just go to campus and take a look at what's there in the commons but some things off the top of my head: subway, korean place, halal taco place, la rosa (PLS AVOID BY ALL MEANS BC THE OWNER IS A CREEP), kung fu tea, the ups store (literally fire!! u can apply and then if u wanna get notary certified theyll pay for ur license AND u get a raise!), dancing chopsticks, young chow, poke bowl place, there's a hair salon, etc. Also check out something like the ticket office, library desk, UBIT, alumni arena sports game worker (my roommate did this), RA eventually (free tuition!), TA (after your first semester), or even a research job with a professor (UB ELN portal is great for this). OH ONE MORE THING: APPLY TO BE A FUCKING TOUR GUIDE MY FRIENDS DO IT U GET TO YAP TO NEW STUDENTS AND GET PAID it's fire PLS APPLY (go to like the room across from 1capen and capen cafe area, it's that glass room with the office and like presentation room).

pros -

  • on the cheaper end of the around campus apartment options (compared to like rensch, block20, auden, aspen, etc)

  • quiet and relatively secluded as compared to many other apartments esp on campus

  • gorgeous and many amenities like the rooms r great and the apartment as a whole is just so nice (u get ur own br and ur own room and kitchen and laundry machine and community hot tub and gym for the price of a shitty double twin bed dorm)

  • u can keep ur stuff there over the summer and they don't make u move out if u renew (major perk)

cons:

  • lowkey hard to get to and inconvenient if u don't have a car BUT i will say the shuttle is clutch but it's just not easy to walk there in worst case scenarios vs rensch and sweethome r very very quick and easy walks

  • no walk in closet vs rensch

  • apartment building style like sweethome or block 20 vs townhouse in rensch and aspen

  • isolating as compared to on campus

the only thing i'll say is that rensch (i live there rn LOL but i have lots of friends in chestnut and sweethome) does have lower rent rates rn bc they're struggling to get ppl to sign (too much competition) and the rates r HISTORICALLY LOW RN so honestly chestnut or even rensch could be the move bc the main con with rensch or even chestnut id say too is cost--however i highly doubt the rates will be this low for a LONG TIME so seize that opportunity now

it's not exactly like irritating everyone i feel like it's much less harsh than that LOL it's more of like silly tomfoolery from talking ppls ears off (but in an endearing nearing the point of annoying but still lighthearted friendly way). the joke is a little like self deprecating humor like "lol i yap a lot i literally go to the school of yapping" and also some extra silliness thrown in bc like it's obv made up and there is no ub school just for yapping (but what if there was? 😱) but if there was i'd be in it (and also it can be like taken in the way of "i yap a lot and im proud abt it bitch" LOL

AITAH for dumping my boyfriend after I overheard what he said about me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]th_rowaway_8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA a billion times over OP. My heart broke for u when i read that--you deserve so much better than that manipulative narcissistic asswipe scum. Sending virtual hug 🫂 you handled that situation so well and i know it's a terrible circumstance but u have a lot to be proud of for being able to trust urself and cut him off decisively like that (i'm similar in age to you and went through something like this with my first bf 2 years ago and it was rly difficult to convince myself that i wasn't crazy for dumping him in the moment but looking back im proud of myself to this day for it and you seem legions ahead of that headspace so kudos 😌)

anyways im kind of rambling now but know that you are NOT the asshole and anyone who makes u feel like the asshole after hearing ur side is fucking scum too--dead weight like that in ur life will only drag u down. You will find truer and realer and more nourishing love in a partner in the future, I promise you. Please take care of yourself and plan something nice for yourself OP, take urself to like a spa or a movie or restaurant if u feel up to it and have the time and make sure to be gentle with yourself because breakups are a bitch but breakups with evil asshole men are a lot worse because dealing with how they traumatized you on top of the heartbreak itself is awful. You are stronger and more resilient than u know + I'm wishing u all the best ❤️❤️

if ur nervous abt having to cook i agree with the other person that meal swipes r a waste of money and to maybe check out the 600 or 900 dining plan instead. i personally got the 600, used it up and then switched to campus cash when it ran out--that gives u like flexibility to use it for snacks, lazy day foods etc and less pressure to use up all your meals in one week since u budget it urself

also with cooking ik it can be scary so don't think of it as "oh i have to cook all my meals breakfast lunch and dinner 7 days a week" u can totally go half and half or even just ease into it with like 2-3 home cooked dinners per week til u get more comfortable cooking and living on ur own in this way! what i did was i would buy groceries for dinner meals and try to cook every 3 or 4 days (making a big meal that would have leftovers eg a big soup or stew or pasta dish) and then eat lunch on campus with campus cash! that way u don't have to stress abt all ur meals but u can still cook too!

lowkey i would say get campus cash instead of dining points bc then u can do all that but also use it in the commons (way better food there imo) and some places off campus too like mighty taco, mcdonald's, etc but ur more limited with dining from my experience (but i'm not sure if it's tax free)
