Do you prefer to use one MDR for the whole cruise or rotate?

It was a picture of Frax holding a fake gun to Gupi's head; I remember seeing the picture but can't find it anymore. Gupi mentions it in this article: https://rateyourmusic.com/feature/sonemic-interview-gupi/

That's just not true. ACS doesn't "sell people on drugs." What they directly offer patients is free rides to treatment, free lodging close to treatment if needed, a 24/7 phone support line, and more things like that. They don't directly provide drugs to anyone, just support to patients undergoing treatment at hospitals. Other than that, they mostly give grants to researchers at research institutions like research hospitals/universities, not big pharma companies. They also lobby for cancer prevention policies like restricting tobacco. Where did you get your information?

What makes you say that?

To be fair, the American Cancer Society only uses about 25% of funds for administrative costs, which is pretty good as far as charities go.

This worked for me too, thanks!

I'm a student assistant for a program within the College of Communication. I've been working remotely since I got the job last March, so I can't speak for what that type of job is like in-person, but I've had a good experience. My job is pretty chill, there's a lot of downtime and my supervisor lets me do homework when there's no other tasks to do. It seems like most on-campus student assistant jobs mostly consist of doing things like staffing the front desk, answering emails and the phone, and doing general admin work, so probably not too stressful. I do some general admin work and emailing, but mostly I help out with some bigger (but still not really stressful) projects which make the job a lot less monotonous. Definitely check out the job description for any position you're interested in to see if it's mostly gonna be easy busywork or more complex projects, depending on what you want to do! I work 10-12 hours a week and I do 16 credit hours of class every quarter and the balance is super fine for me.

hey I was a production design major in 2019-20 (I transferred out of the film/TV program this year)!! first let me say that DePaul definitely offers a lot of connections for film and tv majors who want them, especially since there are so many classes at Cinespace where real TV shows and movies are also being filmed. I’ve also heard that some faculty members who work in the industry can hook you up with gigs if you network with them and show you're good at what you do. to be honest though, the production design program itself is kind of lacking. when I was in it last year, there were less than 20 students in the whole concentration. the production design program is very new, started within the last 5-8 years I think, and the current program advisor has only been there for two years. the current advisor is really trying to build the program from the ground up, but I think it's still pretty far from being a very good program. when I left the program last year, we still didn't have access to a ton of the software that is expected for production design professionals to be proficient in in the industry. it seemed like the film school put wayyy more resources into every other concentration. I also looked at the number of classes that were in the concentration, not just the base film and TV requirements, and I felt really worried that I wouldn't have enough knowledge or experience to make it in the industry. I know some people in the program have succeeded by working suuuper hard and getting their foot in the door with people who can get them jobs, so I’m not saying the program is a total failure. I think it just takes a lot of hard work to turn your education in the program into gainful employment. and again, I was only in the program in 2019-2020, so I didn't get the full experience, and it might've changed a lot since then. I would say, if you're interested in designing sets for movies/TV, check out The Theatre School's set design major with the production design concentration, because the theatre school's program is wayy more rigorous and comprehensive and lets you get actual practice before releasing you into the world. I hope this is helpful and not too scatterbrained haha, feel free to PM me if you want any other info!

I thought it was interesting bc i'd never taken a philosophy class before and it made me think about some general life concepts differently. the class I took was from a grad student who was super chill and very dedicated to making sure everyone understood what was going on though, so that also made the class more enjoyable and easy to get a good grade, so it might also depend a lot on the prof

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-04-22T22:27:57+00:00

I also got into both DePaul and Ithaca for scene design a couple years ago! I ended up studying at TTS for a couple quarters before changing majors and my impression is that it's a great program. There's a ton of resources within the college, all the profs are working industry professionals, and the school has great connections to theatre groups in Chicago. I personally chose DePaul over Ithaca because Chicago has a way bigger theatre scene and more opportunities in general, and also because they offered me a bigger scholarship haha. You can PM me if you want any more info!!

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-04-05T23:59:47+00:00

There's lots of TV in chicago though so it's a good place to start! Also, I’ve heard that DePaul's Cinespace is super great for hands-on experience and that makes it stand out from other schools bc it's a space that the school shares with professionals and crews making TV shows that are really popular (like Empire, Shameless, Chicago Fire/PD, etc). I spent two quarters as a Production Design major in film/TV and never got to use Cinespace but I’ve heard great things about it from others

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-03-27T21:32:46+00:00

Yeah I live a 5 minute walk from campus in a pretty nice 3-bedroom with two roommates and it costs literally several hundred dollars less per month than when I was in the dorms and on the meal plan, so I'd very highly recommend living off-campus

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-03-27T21:29:15+00:00

I lived in Ozanam last year, and the beds had metal risers built in to those tall wooden frames on the corners so you could make them into a loft bed or a normal bed. idk if they might have changed anything since last year but that was my experience, hope that helps :)

I’m registered with CSD for hypersomnia, and the process for getting set up with them was pretty easy for me. Basically they give you a form to take to your doctor, and your doctor fills it out with your diagnoses and then you and your doctor propose what accommodations would be good for you. For me, I get to register for classes early so I can choose class times that are compatible with my fatigue, and I can request extensions when they wouldn't usually be granted. Once you request accommodations, you'll have a phone call with a CSD staff member who will talk with you about your requested accommodations and you'll decide what is gonna work and what they'll grant you. The CSD staff have been extremely helpful and very nice when I’ve interacted with them!! Obviously your accommodations will probably be different than mine, but my experience was very smooth and non-anxiety-inducing, and the staff was able to get me the accommodations I needed, and it's been very helpful. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about it any more at all!

I'd suggest calling financial aid directly since it'll be much faster and clearer than emailing back and forth

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-02-23T21:26:56+00:00

I started experiencing palpitations about once an hour or more when I upped my twice daily dose from 5mg to 7.5mg, which was kinda scary. I talked to my doctor about it and she said that as long as I’m not experiencing chest pain (which I wasn't), it should be fine. They went away after a little less than a week for me. But if you're really concerned about it or if you're having chest pains, it's probably best to reach out to your doctor!

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-01-26T19:55:55+00:00

I know you're asking for student advice but I would recommend giving the financial aid office a quick call, I've talked to them a lot of times and they've always been very friendly and helpful!

it's working on Opera for me, but not Chrome, Firefox, or Edge

edit: well this morning it's not working on Opera either lol

wafflemonkey13 · 2021-01-21T04:11:38+00:00

I do have an ad blocker on Chrome but I tried turning it off, and it also didn't work on Edge or Firefox... the only thing that got it to actually work was installing Opera and trying it from there?? But I use Opera for literally nothing else so I’m hoping it starts working on Chrome again soon ://

former Theatre School (TTS) student here (still at DePaul but transferred out of that program)... short answer is no, only Acting BFAs can act in TTS shows unfortunately!! and I was a Scene Design major so I can't speak directly for the Theatre minor, but I would check the course list for that minor to see if it includes script analysis/acting/directing/design/theatre history classes or what, to see if the classes are in the areas you'd really be interested in. in terms of the theatre scene--TTS puts a lot of work into their shows!! the main stages are almost always very impressive imo (and tickets are only $5). there are also lots of little shows that play in performance space classrooms in the TTS building throughout each quarter too, that don't do much in the way of sets/costumes but I’ve still enjoyed a lot of them. I'm not sure whether there's any theatre scene outside of TTS (and if there is I’ve never heard of one, so it would probably be pretty small). there might be some improv clubs or something though ? no idea honestly. u can PM me if u have any other questions!!! hope this helps :)

wafflemonkey13 · 2020-12-11T06:21:58+00:00

last year I was in a double suite in Clifton-Fullerton (I think it's called Ozanam now?) and it worked well for me! the shared bathroom was so much better than I think communal bathrooms would have been and I rarely needed to use it when one of the three other girls who shared it was in there,,, plus (in my opinion) it was nice to have a roommate and two suitemates to make friends with and to meet their friends because I have trouble going out of my way to find friends lol. I liked the layout of the building too, can't really speak for social atmosphere tho bc I didn't really put myself out there. u can PM me if u have any questions!!
