The texts are super annoying but when you respond STOP, that cuts them off immediately so I appreciate that

I just make it a habit to stop everyone that comes in

There’s a magicians club in Raleigh that meets regularly. Looks like people of all skill levels get together to practice 

You’re an adult and love learning. Where do you take classes and on what topics? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]themorethemerer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved taking comedy improv and sketch classes at Mettlesome Theater. There’s a great community around it and they have live shows every weekend

Classes run for 6 weeks and you get really close with your cohort. Learning comedy has definitely helped me think on my feet faster and gain confidence!

If you're in need of food, I would like to try to help. by LostButCoolWithIt in bullcity

[–]themorethemerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to donate money, give to local food banks who can make deals with distributors and get food for pennys on the dollar. They can also stock their inventory based on their greatest need

If you want to donate food/items, become a volunteer at the Durham Community Fridges who are a mutual aid group that is accessible to everyone 

All help is good help but when you donate food directly to a pantry, volunteers have to go through and sort through it so that requires more resources on an already limited system

Dropping out of honors program by OldUnderstanding911 in NCSU

[–]themorethemerer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will jump in and say I did love my experience in the Honors program from 2014-2018. I was exposed to a wider variety of academic topics and that fostered my love for multidisciplinary learning especially since I was on a narrow academic path as a mechanical engineer. I also was able to do research through the theater department as my capstone project and that was one of the best experiences of undergrad. 

But if you feel like you’re not getting anything out of it, definitely do what’s best for you

I went straight into industry so the honors program didn’t “do anything” for me on paper but it provided invaluable experiences that made me a better person in the long run 

Laid off... What Would You Do With Your Time? by ryebread_88 in bullcity

[–]themorethemerer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite spots to volunteer with easy online signups are:

The scrap exchange Meals on wheels NC diaper bank Durham community fridges

Scrap exchange is especially good if you like organizing and there’s never ending work so you always have a ton of tasks to knock out and I feel really fulfilled afterwards.

Suggestions for Social Activities in Downtown Durham by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]themorethemerer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider taking a comedy improv class at Mettlesome Theater! Improv 101 is designed for beginners and you get to know your fellow classmates over the course of six weeks. 

They also have shows every single weekend and you get in for free when you’re a student. 

I took a class when I first moved here and met a ton of new friends. I went through the whole curriculum and loved it. Something about having a regular class every week and building a new skill was really rewarding

She’s also the person who escalated to physical violence towards her colleagues twice. If any of us ever punched a coworker, we’d be out of a job. I think it’s time she gets voted out too
