are more people becoming influencers?

some freshie popped up for showing his dorm to get 1k likes, and I've been seeing more and more on my ig feeds recently. i know there's mia yilin, sagecadence, adamaero, christian roy, ada, nolan, and so many more students popping up like clarissa, tanvi, etc

I graduated a while ago so it's been a minute but are more incoming freshman just going into a creator pipeline?

Any similar show recs?

I’ve been watching OMITB with my mom, who’s living up her 50s. I love that the show has references for both of us (me being in my 20s), and it’s been enjoyable spending weeknights binging the show.

Does anyone have show recs similar to Only Murders (being more on the comedy side that the detective side)?

I don’t mind detective recs but we tried to start The Afterparty while we wait for season 6 and she doesn’t find it as hilarious as OMITB and I’d like to find a show more comedic for her to enjoy as well!

Edit: Ones we’ve watched together (for context) are Modern Family, Monk, Mentalist, Pokerface, but I think her top favs are Modern Family, Monk, and OMITB ☺️ She and I both love Friends and Gilmore Girls too!

241113 Flame, the most underrated Katseye Song

People are sleeping on this track! It was made for one of my favorite shows and it's very badass energy. I feel like people really miss this song since it's an OST.

casual microaggression?

friends will eat korean, chinese, taiwanese, malaysian, and japanese cuisine, but won't try indian or sri lankan. they'll watch east asian movies, but not south asian. they'll drink boba or matcha or sake but not lassi or rose milk.

frustrating, feel very unseen :(

edit: yes ive brought it up. no, only one has tried any of these things. majority of the friend group is east asian and white. yes it does feel bad that i'm willing to try many things from their cultures (GIVE IT A SHOT) and only one has actually given mine a shot.

yuck i didnt expect these comments. just makes a guy feel horrid for venting feeling left out in the first place. btw these were EXAMPLES, there are many more

question regarding how scholarship works

so I received a total of 3000 dollars (USD) as a scholarship. It's not much but it will suffice. I guess the terms are that it will be paid all in one go. I have recently purchased a laptop, but it is before I received any money for the scholarship. Can I still attribute the laptop as something I spent "scholarship money" on? I really needed the laptop for school, but I couldn't wait before I received the scholarship, so unsure how people manage it. Do I have to report I bought the laptop before I received scholarship money? how does that work?

Im not a big fan of romance books (only read Ali Hazelwoods series on love in science) but I found this super cute show called Off Campus! It is based on the book series and I love the way they tackled deep conversations and all the characters had amazing chemistry. I love the way it tackles hard topics like rape (as an SA survivor it means a lot to me) and I just love everything. Hes a complete green flag :)

Scared about buying a new laptop but need one.

I've been scanning through Ebay, Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, etc in order to find a laptop. I'm an engineering student who's also premed, and last year, I bought a secondhand ipad for notes for school, but I soon realized it wouldn't be good enough for the amount of CAD and programs I need to run. After thorough research, I realized a Lenovo Legion 5 or a HP Omen 16 would best suit my needs for university and for outside internships and research.

Not sure, I'm just generally feeling scared to drop 1000 on a laptop 😭

got a D in HS for DE... how do I report this

I'm a 2nd year CC student now. I kept as close to a 4.0 in CC with 1 A-. However, I still have a D from a dual enrollment class when I was in high school and I'm applying this year. It's a Calculus class and I'm retaking it this summer even though I've finished differential equations.

How would this be calculated for my application for Stanford &Ivies vs UCs vs out of state unviersities (UW/UNC Chapel Hill/UMich)? I'm not sure how to report it

I'm just confused. Also, would this disqualify me from schools or do they know it was taken during high school and discredit it?

14” and above preferably but don’t mind if it’s smaller

  • Weight limit

No weight limit

  • Purpose

Engineering student so for coding/CAD + gaming (primarily Riot games)

  • Form factor

Standard/Clamshell (a regular laptop) but if other types are better, I don’t mind the suggestions

  • Intended usage

Solidworks, AutoCAD, other PCB programs, Valorant, Minecraft, etc. also plan to use for research and maybe internships

  • Desired battery life

4 hours is fine

Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life

  • Info/Requirements

I currently have a 4GB RAM laptop which is horrible for running things now. I prefer Windows/Linux/any other to Apple products even though I have an iPad because Apple laptops can’t run the things I want to use it for.

Why do acceptance rates matter so much?

I keep seeing posts where people post the acceptance rates of highly selective colleges. Like just because one ivy has one more percent than another, suddenly people think it's easier. No it's not, the difference between 4.5% and 5.2% is not going to magically get you in.

I feel like im underutilizing my ipad

I bought an ipad m4 pro with a nanotexture sceeen and an apple pencil for notes because I'm premed and a mech engineering major.

I love the ipad but I was wondering what you guys use and how can I maximize the full capabilities of this ipad? I've admittedly never had an Apple product before so I'm lowk excited!

Also did I get scammed because I paid 900 for everything together

2 vs 3 yrs as a stem student

Background: I’m a CC student in NorCal and I’m premed, interested in applying bioengineering/chem engineering/nano in the fall of 2027

the issue is that I course-planned today with my counselor and it’s so packed. I’m literally taking the full 4 semester chem sequence + 3-4 bio classes + math sequence from calc 2 all the way to linear algebra and the 3 semester physics pathway and GEs and extra matlab course. I’m so confused as to how people graduate CC in 2 years for premed/engineering and cover all requirements for transferring

how can I even fit extracurriculars into this when each semester is at the credit max? I’ve literally told my counselor I’ll just do some courses in another CC, but I’m freaking out.

thank you 😭😭

Going directly to UCSD vs transferring

i gpt taken off the waitlist for undeclared at UCSD. im worried however because I want to do electrical/mechanical/bio engineering and I might not be able to get into the major I want.

im an interested premed who had been thinking of going to community college before getting off the waitlist. ive been doing horribly academically for 2 years. especially in senior year because I took hard physics classes and everything and got a legitimate D, and somehow managed to slip into a C-. I'm worried about how I would do academically, and I dont want to tank my GPA by going to SD and then failing classes because I'm not prepared for the rigor (I'm potentially interested in applying for PA/MD/DO later on)

Couple questions:

  • How hard or easy is it to change majors to engineering? (Mech/Electrical/Bio)?
  • Is it harder or easier as opposed to trying via transfer?
  • Any insight into premed?
  • Which would you suggest?
