I have Parking Permit for CDS, I parked my car at the Parking in front of the ARC and still get the ticket!
I park on second floor, white double lines. This is my first time park on second floor.
I wonder if they have limited of time or something?
I get violation 03
Hello everybody!
Tomorrow is my move-in date.
I received the message, and Knowing that I have 30mins unloading and they said Only One Vehicle. But my parents want to come with me and of course I will bring my car with me. Now I wonder if my parent could just park somewhere nearby and help me unload?
'After 30 minutes, vehicles must move their vehicle and park at the East Campus Parking Structure (ECPS) for long-term parking for the duration of your move-in. Camino del Sol residents may park in any unmarked yellow stall on floors 2-6 in ECPS.m
Can my parent just park at ECPS in the beginning and my car park at unloading zone?
I know this is a silly question but I am so nervous and don't really understand it!
Thank you everyone!
Hi everybody! I know that recently UCI having a hard time with Financial aid package.
But some people seems like they have different situation. I wonder if anyone here have received the CAL GRANT?
According to the estimate I must have Cal Grant A with $5k but when I see the future transactions, it isn't there.
And it seems like I am having a problem with document too. Is this just my situation or you all also have the same situation?
Hello everybody!
I need to renew my sticker on 2nd September. But my Car is totaled because of a Truck Company that scratched and dented my car doors.
They gave me the paycheck for the value of my vehicle at that moment. I kept the car. And I have been driving well.
And then i read some comment that I say I need to announce to my insurance and DMV about it, so that I could get the Salvage title and then Rebuilt title so my car can be legal to drive on the road. I wonder if this is necessary and true?
In the sub that I post, they said 'seem like you got free money, you no need to fix the car and you can keep driving it' since my car is indeed just cosmetic damages. But now I am worrying whether it will be legal or illegal to continue to drive.
I also wonder if I should just pay for renew sticker right now or go to DMV and explain everything to them first?
If I go through the process of inspecting, change the title, how much it gonna cost?

Hello everybody, I am having a corolla 2019 le with 150k miles, pretty much wear and tear already.
The door hinges seems old, when I park on the street and open the door, it can't hold the position but it will widely open.
I wanting to change it but don't know which part is need to be change, the Red or the Blue?
Can someone please help me?
Also in the second picture, I just changed my sway end link, which has grease and leaking whatever, now it drives so much smoother, but still sometimes has the 'old wood door' sounds when I go over the tiny bump, or the ramp.
I would say I was dumb buying this car LOL, it has too much miles and many many 'wear & tear' but as a dumb college student, I have no choice but keeping this car and keep it alive.
Some people told me to just ignore the sound, and drive, but I will be driving around 45miles from my house to UCI twice a week. (Back and forth = 90miles) I know it is still under average, but for a long drive 45miles, I wanna make it comfortable andd andd safe, you know... but if it is too expensive to fix, maybe I will ignore it then, ahahaha.
Hi everybody, I am going to transfer to UCI this Fall as a Math major student.
My goal is to be a teacher at Community College, which requires a Master Degree and B.S at least, and I am glad because I don't aim for PhD.
I know that Community College like PCC don't require Teaching Credential, but do you guys think it worths it for extra one year? What do you learn from CalTeach Program that is really have impact on your career? I know that it gives you like 700+hrs of
Fieldwork and I think it will be helpful. And will be ready to teach on day one for MS/HS just in case I am not qualify for Community College.
What do you all think? I know I have time to think about this until I complete PS5 but I still wanna know you guys opinions on this!
Hi everybody,
I am seeing so many good deals on Buick, around 60-80k miles, mostly Buick Lacrosse. The conditions are all great, carfax is clean, haven't checked in person yet, but will do.
Does anyone here own an old buick, how easy it is to maintaince? And is it more expensive than corolla? Are there any issues that hard to fix but usually happen?
And does Buick have good safety feature?
Right now I am driving a Corolla 2019, which is newer, and in the near future I am thinking abt letting my mom drive Corolla and I will find a used car, looking for Buick because I think I am in love with it.
Does anyone here has the best way to make your espeesso strong in your latte?!
I am using **Medium Roast (Atomic)** and **Dark Roast (Feast)**
But they both giving me the same result in my latte, weak, milky.
18g yields 36ml, 35s - 37s, with 2s pre-wetting, 4s pre-infusion.
The taste itself is great, best espresso I have ever had, but the latte is so bad compare to my favorite spot even though I use the same recipe. *(Only beans and time pulling is different, the beans at that place is more fruity, but medium to dark roast (more like a medium) )*
I wonder where should I adjust to make it taste more coffee in my latte?
The ratio of the shot or the ratio of milk to espresso? Temperature? Grind size?
What do you guys usually do when you want a stronger coffee flavor in your Latte?
Please help me, thanks!
Also this machine is so not easy to steam the milk, LOL.
Hello everyone, I am transferring to UCI this Fall, I completed full IGETC and I will need to enroll at least 12units.
I don't aim for higher unit because I want to adapt to the first quarter at UCI.
These are classes that I am enrolled and on the wait list - According to the email of School of Physics, I must have Math 140A and Math 9 this Fall, but Math 9 right now is only wait listed available. I wonder should I give it a try, or find another class as a back up? if yes, then what class should it be, please give me some recommendations.
I was thinking about Math 120A, but it is also another abstract class like Math 140A, I think I will be overwhelmed as my first quarter.
Also can someone share some tips for a new student? and any tips to study Math at UCI [I am weak at this subject, just getting here with my passion]
AFTER 7MONTHS I FINALLY GOT MY CREDIT SCORE 🥳🎉
I am so happy with my score right now.
755 Fico score with $1500 credit lines
May I ask everyone how to improve my score even better? My goal is really make it as good as possible! Right now is aiming for 800.
And should I open a new credit card too? Or keep using this? - I am a college students 22yo, going to be broke soon because I am going to UC and will have no job LOL!
But yah, I am just so happy and wanting to share this with everyone!
Hi everybody, so from the last post I got a lot of congrats from you all about my new setup, and I enjoy it so far!
I just want to upgrade my coffee set up and improve the flow! I would love to have a new BASKET (the basket come with Gemilai G3028A isn't as good as I expect, I want an upgrade on that) WDT, knock box, and a nice nice nice tamper,
I think I will focus on the tamper and basket more, but also hoping can afford a cheap WDT because I know it doesn't need to be expensive.
Do you guys think this is a good product? beside this brand, do you have any other recommendations?
Please help!
By the way I really love you guys! very supportive and kind ^^ I received a lot of loves and supports from the last post!

Hi everyone.
This month I start budgeting, and note down how much available credit I have left after spending something using my Discover It Card.
And I found that after spending on gas, it says $1.00 hold, but it actually lowers my available credit corresponding to the amount that I spent on gas. After 2 days, it released the hold, instead of $1.00 it becomes $49.32 (amount I spent) and it actually charge $49.32 one more time.
Because my Statement Balance is about to update, I only use my card for gas, and about to pay it off, so I was really careful of how much I owe. I contacted Discover but they answer the same thing as any other post.
May I ask if what I am saying is really confusing? If you understand what I am explaining, can you please let me know if this has ever happened to you?
Hi everybody!
I just ordered an espresso machine and very excited to use it!
Now I need to look for a decent grinder in range $200-300 (max is $300) that can use for Espresso and Pour Over
I am considering Mokkom 64, but there's so many informations I need to know, alignment, different burr, flat burr gives different taste,... I am so confused.
I wonder if a hand grinder will be easier to work with and easy to learn for a beginner than an electric one? I will enjoy the time making coffee so I don't mind using arm strength, as long as it is easy to maintain and easy to use.
Please help me!!
Thank you everyone!
Hi everybody!
Someone hit my corolla, and they gave me money (since it is total loss)
And I used some of it to pay off my debt, and some left that I don't think it is enough to fix the cosmetic damage.
But at the same time, my car need to change front struts, and alignment, and oil change. I wonder if it worth it to put around $1000 into my car? I just spent $150 for drain and fill transmission fluid very very recently. I am aware that my car can last very long (currently 149k miles) and I know it will be worth it, but at the same time I feel like I should put money into saving and get another one in the future.
Can someone just slapp into my face and tell me whether it is worth to change the front struts and basic maintaince and keep the car?
Idk what is the question or point I am making right now but I am kinda sad and maybe just need to share my situation!
Sorry if this sounds stupid!
Hello everybody, I am new to the group as well as Pour Over. I have been drinking espresso and Vietnamese coffee but in the past four months, I really like Pour Over, and thinking about getting Kingrinder 6 with Brewista, and a V60, and more,...
I have no clue what brand and tools are necessary and important. I work at a cafe shop and they have big grinder, and kettle from Fellow, which I do like but I like Brewista more, I feel like I have more control with Brewista. Also looking for the grinder, I want something that is good for both espresso and pour over.
Please recommend me what hand grinder and kettle is good for my situation.
Thank you everyone!
I came in today and asked how much it cost to replace
He said replace two in the front costs $750 🥺 is it a fair price? And does my car look like it need to replace that?
Corolla LE 2019, 148600 miles
Please Help! Broken student received a big paycheck and not knowing what to do - Roth Ira or Savings?
efore I start, I need to share my situation so everybody can understand and help me, I am sorry for the wall of text.
I am a college students, transferring to UCI this Fall.
And I am the first person in my family will go to UC! Also the first person who will get into debt for college! But let talk about the college debt later.
I currently have 11k in my checking account. And my mom has 2k in credit card debt, my dad has 2\~3k as well. But I paused my mom card because this year, we are strugglings with financing. Also we have 300/mo payment from my aunty, (we borrow her 5k, no interest). But every month, we struggles with rent, insurance, bill, and debt. I hope I can help something with it, but I cannot. Since we have been taking care of my grandfather, so my family have no savings, no emergency fund, no nothing but debts and struggles. My parents have bad habit of spending too!
I tried to keep this quiet and pretend like I saved my money every month and help them. But the check 11k is from an insurance, they totalled my car, but luckily still driveable.
And I let them know that I only get 8000. In their minds, already thinking about using my 8000 for paying 1k in credit card, 2k for new fridge, 4-5k for aunty debts,... but deeply in their hearts I know they wants me to saves at least 4000 for emergency at college.
Although they care about my future, but they never learned how to plan for that, they used to live in the situation 'how can we live today' so I am mad sometime but cannot blame them. And I love them, but I know for sure one day they gonna ask to use the rest of my money for their random things that not urgent nor important.
And for College, They gave me 30k and I will need 10k loan for housing and meal for this year!
I could commute, but I really want to leave my house so I can focus (the distractions level in my house is crazy) and commute is like 1hr30mins
So may I have some advice from everyone? What should I do with this money?
Should I put in Wealthfront or Fidelity Roth Ira?
I have no knowledge of Roth Ira but have 20.77 right now, and my wealthfront has only 85.07 (earned .07 interest last month)
I want to use 1000 for car maintaince and alignment. So it will be 10000 left.
I am thinking about putting 1k in Fidelity, and the rest into wealthfront, so incase I can pull it out? And continue putting 100 into Fidelity every month?
Or should I get that money ready to pay the students Loan upcoming?
Thank you everybody, please help this broken student.
They hit my car when I was in the parking lot of my house, they gave me their insurance and they filed the claim to their own insurance. After a couple of days, person come and inspected and estimate how much it costs to fix my car, then after another couple of days, they sent me the check with $11k telling me to fix my car.
What should I do? I get quoted around and they said costs around $7500, I found one place $6500 as well. But that was just 2 doors, door handles, quarter fender and bumper of Corolla 2019 LE. They not sure if there is any damages behind the exterior, and me neither, but the car runs fine and normal.
Now I am thinking of using the check because it helps me a bit with finance too, and also my car is little high mileage, so for me $11k makes sense but now I am worrying about what if it costs extra for fixing something under the exterior, and I will need to rent a car.
I wonder if I can rent a car from my car insurance without file any claim? and does that increase my premium? because I am such an unlucky driver, I have got into silly and crazy accidents, so I am really worrying about what if I rent a car for three weeks and get into another car accident.
Or should I just let their insurance or my insurance take care of my car, and then rent me a car? Does this make any difference? will I have less responsibility of using the rent car?
Can someone please help me with this!
I am too worrying right now!
