Just wanted to ask for any advice upperclassmen may have for Bio1A. I'm taking it this semester and have a strong chem understanding (from chem1a and chem3a), though remember no biology from when I last took it in like 9th grade.
kinda just trying to make sure i dont have to intensely cram calc before classes start since i last took calc in 10th grade and only remember the basicss
will they require me to know u subs and related rates and optimization and fancy integral stuff (like z subs or partial fraction decomp), or is just knowing how to take the derivatives and integrals of stuff good enough?
I'm pretty sure these came out a while ago, but I got a box for the first time and I would say this is honestly the best frozen desert I have ever had. It is absolutely incredible. IT IS A MUST TRY!
Best part is that it isn't too sweet and it doesn't taste like toothpaste either.
I just graduated high school (18M) and my friends and I (all 18M) went to a very competitive high school where many people fought for Ivy league admission. There's a student in our class named "Dave" (not his actual name bc I don't want to dox) (18M), who has been insufferable our entire senior year. He's always been competitive (laughs at others when he scores more on a test, when he placed at DECA and others didn't, etc.) and was gunning for top schools.
The day he got into Stanford early, something in him snapped which made him so much worse. He started openly mocking people's college lists in the cafeteria (like literally went up to someone who got into Northeastern and called it "solid but less prestigious" and a "money grab school" and when one of my friends got into Cornell he was like "that's the shittiest Ivy try getting into a real school."
The annoying thing was Stanford was the dream school for basically my entire friend group. All of us applied, and none of us got in (a couple waitlisted, most flat out rejected), and watching Dave get in and rub it in really pissed us off. Kinda funnily, bonding over our shared hate of Dave brought me closer to many people who I didn't really know before senior year.
Anyway, about two months ago, a few of our were hanging out, and a couple people in the group said they had screenshots from a while back when Dave talked about a "nonprofit" he founded, which was some really gradiose environmental nonprofit that was probably his main thing that got him into Stanford. In the SS, Dave said that he embellished the entire nonprofit, admitting that the "volunteers" were just like three friends and that he didn't actually fund money even though he said he got thousands of dollars from "fairs" that he never launched. In one SS, he says point blank "everyone embellishes this stuff and the admissions officers are blind"
In the moment, a couple of my friends were like we should send this to the dean of admissions at Stanford hahahahaha! I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR: I did not write the email, send it, or wasn't asked to contribute anything, and didn't even think everyone was FR about sending this. When they were talking about it, I laughed in like a "omg you guys are unhinged but he completely deserves it" kinda way. Turns out, they did send it, and I didn't think anything would come of it but just thought it was VERY funny.
We all graduated a few days ago, and yesterday I found out that Stanford rescinded Dave's admission. It took several months for this to happen, and I lowk forgot all about the email they sent, but suddenly Dave has no college plan for the fall since decision day was a month ago. He found out that it was the people from our friend group because (and this part is eating me) the proof and now I feel terrible.
So... AITA for not stopping them for sending this? I feel like an asshole but he also kinda deserved it.

Has anyone taken it recently? What has your experience been like, and do you have a syllabus by chance?
Hi! I'm a pre-med who just finished my first year, and I'm thinking about 180ing and switching majors from MCB to Public Health and pursuing the 4+1 BA in PH and MPH program at Berkeley.
I know this requires comprehensive review, but I was just wondering if anyone knew how competitive it is? Like, if I just meet all their requirements, will I get in?
Also, has anyone done or is pursuing the BA-MPH program? If so, could I pick your brain for a little bit and ask you some questions? Or, what has your experience been like?
And if anyone is a PH major, I'd love to hear what you've thought of it so far, how challenging it is, how good the professors are, or any other wisdom you could share:)

Passage:
The history of solitude as a cultural ideal tracks almost perfectly the history of anxiety about it. The desert fathers of early Christianity fled to the wilderness not merely to be alone but to wage war — against distraction, against the body, against the self's tendency to seek its own comfort. Their solitude was violent and purposive, less a retreat from the world than an assault on the parts of themselves they considered worldly. That this tradition produced some of the most psychologically acute writing in Western history is not incidental; the extremity of the condition forced a quality of attention that more comfortable arrangements rarely sustain.
The Romantic rehabilitation of solitude softened this considerably. Wordsworth's solitary wanderer is not fighting anything; he is receiving — impressions, sublimity, the restorative murmur of nature. Where the desert father's aloneness was an ordeal to be endured for its fruits, the Romantic version was itself the fruit. The shift is significant because it relocated the value of solitude from what it produced in the person to what it felt like — from transformation to experience. This is the version that has largely survived into contemporary culture, where solitude is recommended by wellness discourse as a form of self-care rather than self-confrontation.
What is lost in the softer version is precisely what made the harder one interesting. The desert fathers were not trying to feel good; they were trying to become different. The conflation of solitude with comfort — the spa retreat, the digital detox, the mindfulness app — may actually inoculate against the more demanding encounter with oneself that solitude, at its most serious, has always promised. There is a version of aloneness that contemporary culture actively markets and a version it cannot quite bring itself to recommend.
Multiple Choice:
1. Which of the following best describes what the author is doing in paragraph 2?
2. The author claims the Romantic shift "relocated the value of solitude from what it produced in the person to what it felt like." Which of the following, if true, would most directly challenge this characterization?
3. The phrase "inoculate against" in paragraph 3 implies that comfortable solitude:
4. The author's attitude toward contemporary wellness culture is best described as:
5. Which of the following most accurately captures the distinction the author draws in the final sentence?
If so, could you please please please send? I'm trying to pre-study a little bit of the content since I haven't taken bio since 9th grade
I recently discovered this and it is quite insane.
GT has won 61.4% of their games since becoming a team since 2022 (most by any team in a 5 year period).
Sai Sudharsan has played almost every match (so he has roughly a 61.4% win rate) and has scorred 2445 runs.
What is baffling is that 1402 of his runs have come in a LOSING cause, and only 1043 of his runs have come in a winning cause (despite the team winning an overwhelming majority of the games). That begs the question: is he the last man standing when the team struggles, or do his runs not come with much impact?
COMPARED TO OTHER PLAYERS:
Sudharsan's percentage of runs in a losing cause (57.14%) is second to only KL Rahul (61.43% of runs in a losing cause), but KL Rahul has a 42.2% win rate in the IPL over the last 6 years so that doesn't seem to truly be the fault of his.
The only player who statistically is even comparable to Sudharsan is actually Rahul Tewatia, who has scored 74.6% of his runs in a losing cause (which is absurd). However, he's a finisher so that kind of makes sense (if he has to come out and score runs batting at 6 or 7, the team's kinda fucked anyway).
Has anyone taken this course during the Summer with Prof. Legleiter before (fully virtual)? If so, how hard was it and do you have any advice on how to do well?
Seems like A LOT of memorization and content for just an eight week course.
CSK had this iconic trio last season, but maybe we have made our own this season?
RANA + RIZVI + KARUN (3325 trees planted). This is 950 more trees than CSK's trio!
Hi guys! I just finished my first year and I'm a premed.
I'm enrolled in Chem3B, Bio1A, and Physics8A for the Fall, but I want to drop one of them bc I don't feel like I have much of a reason to stack three hard courses together.
I definitely want to stay in 3B to continue taking Marsden, but would you recommend taking Bio1A with it or Physics8A? Like are any of these courses easier or taught by MUCH better professors in the Fall versus Spring?
I also suck at math so I'm really afraid of Physics8A. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

I'm living in a double in U1 and my roommate left Thursday night and didn't clean up their space properly... there's loads of stuff all over the ground and their desk is completely stained.
I don't want the housing office to tack on a hefty cleaning fee to both of us because she just dipped and left it all to me apparently??? (just for context, we didn't really get along because both of our original roommates dropped out and we were assigned to each other just a little bit ago and never really liked each other). Is there anything I can do to make sure I'm not charged for their mess?
I'm definitely not cleaning it for them because it's absolutely disgusting and I DMed them several times on Thursday when they left and yesterday asking them to either pay me to clean their side of the room or to come back and clean it up (they only live in SJ). They have not responded.
Please let me know if anyone has any advice. I'd really appreciate it:)
Hey! I'm a first-year undergrad and I'm throwing away blankets, a mattress topper, and a few other kinda large items. I was wondering if there was anywhere on/near campus where I can throw large stuff like this away? I know there are "garbage collection services" but I don't wanna have to pay $100 to just throw shit away.
Anyone have any suggestions or places I can do this?
Mukesh's Prophecy:
After being trolled as Guktesh, Mukesh will be released by Dilli. He will likely join SRH, KKR, PBKS, or RR.
Mukesh will start in his new team's playing XII. He will bowl wide short balls and get smacked for runs. His overs in the death will go for 20+, and his new franchise's fans will think of him as Gutkesh.
One day, he will play against Dilli. We will all think classic Gutkesh will leak runs and will score a half century with the ball in his four overs.
However, he will unleash PRIME MUKESH MCGRATH upon our top order. Yes. He will take 2-3 wickets with the new ball. He will bowl one over in the death, and instead of going for 20 runs, he will go for 3 runs and pick up a wicket. He will unleash the McGrath inside of him against Dilli.
After that, everyone in this sub will complain on and on about Mukki.
We should put Kuldeep, Mukesh, Nissanka, Aquib, Natarajan, And Duckett/Rehan back in auction. We can buy one or two back if we want. We will have 49 crores for a mini-auction.
We can also trade some...
