So I am in college and have some pretty good friends. Some of them are in same major some In different major. My two closest friends are in same major and I hang out with them the most. One person lives on campus and other person is my roommate and we live off campus. But we both come to campus pretty often and stuff so we all hang out as a group. The thing is I also have two friends in my major one a year younger than me and one in my grade. Except they both don’t come to campus as much. They come only for their part time jobs on campus which we share except we don’t work same shifts. And classes when they have to. They don’t participate in clubs much and don’t attend many events on campus. And times I hang out with my close friends I sometimes feel left out. Because they get to talk abt their major, same classes, post grad plans, and just things and general. And I can’t do that as much. The friend I have in my grade has shared some classes with me before and has some with me this semester but she doesn’t come to class much. And we don’t have many similar shifts this semester same with the friend younger than me. So what can I do? / How to cope?

So on my campus they recently built a space for engineering students and in this space there are 2 3d printers. I have never used a 3d printer before but think it’s really cool and want to get something 3d printed. The thing is I have a feeling if I just ask to use it i might get told yes even though im not an engineering student. However, I am too chicken to ask and also don’t know how to use a 3d printer. So If I ask and am allowed to use I wouldn’t know how to use and no guarantee that any of the students working in this space would know how to use it. Thoughts/ how should I go about this?

Hey guys so I live in Glendale area and was looking to buy some fresh sourdough bread. Does anyone have any recommendations of bakeries i can go / home bakers I can order from? I live near the Martian auto museum and event center and rely on valley metro.Thanks!!

My fall semester is starting on August 20th and this semester I will be starting research in a lab with a professor. I have done lab classes before but have never done research. I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice / things I should know before I start. Thank you!!

Want to order itallian food but don’t want to order from Olive Garden or Lomantaes. Looking for good restaurant recommendations where I can get Alfredo pasta, garlic bread, and ceaser salad for an affordable price. Thanks. I live in near Austin high school if that helps.

Hey guys so I am a student worker on the west valley campus working part time in the lab as a forensic science major. Last year we had 4 student workers however, one student worker graduated so now we have 3. I just got an email from my supervisor asking us to tell our friends about the open position. However, all my friends are either not in science based majors or already work the job with me. So if anyone is looking for an on campus job and is a science major please apply. The job title is Labratory prep aide and duties involve helping in prep are for basic maintenance. You also will help with set up and teardown for lab classes.

Was wondering if anyone can give advice abt interviews and sample interview questions. I’m in US btw.

Incoming senior majoring in forensic science with goal of dna. Will have taken all the required classes by the time I graduate. I have a part time lab job on camps which I started October of 2025 and will be going on till May of 2027. I also am doing research with a forensic bio professor for this fall semester and I think it will continue into the spring semester as well. I also interned at my local police department for one semester in record department ( I didn’t get into the lab unfortunately ). I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions of things I can add to my resume to increase my chances of getting a position in a crime lab post grad. I know that it’s hard and very competitive and sometimes you have to move which I am 1,000% willing to do. I also know sometimes people have to work a non forensics job before they can get a crime lab job. But I just wanted to see if there is anything I could be doing along side what i am doing to better my chances. Thank you so much.

For some context I am upcoming senior in undergrad majoring in forensic science. And earlier in my freshman year I was like oh imma do grad school. But as time went on I realized how much I don’t want to do it. Like I’m trynna avoid doing it with 100 foot pole. And after doing some research I realized that a masters in forensic science with concentration I want won’t even help me that much as much. If I had done undergrad in hard science it would’ve been more useful.

The thing Is my parents are want me to apply to every grad school program in the US with my specific concentration. Just in case I don’t get a job. That would mean applying to more schools than I did for my undergrad. But I’m willing to do a non crime lab job post grad if I can’t get into crime lab right away till smth in crime lab opens up if it means I don’t have to do masters. So as a result of that my motivation to apply has been 0.

Doing research with prof in lab this fall and got asked how many hours I would like to do said research with him.( got asked bcz volunteering not for credit ) I said 6 hrs per week but I feel like that’s too little. I have a part tone on campus which is 10 hrs a week but still I feel 6 is too less but good ammt at same time. Help!

Edit: I ended up putting 7 hours a week. in hoping it gets me enough experience to get a job post grad. I’m volunteering because I don’t have space to get credit but I need all experience I can get. Thanks for all replies.

Found a recipe for vodka sauce I wanna make but realized I don’t have enough heavy cream. Can i substitute rest with half and half? if so is there anything else I would need to do?

Have wedding coming up and I was told to find song for cousins dance. Had a remix in my insta reels saved from before which was Ramo re x Chaniya Choli with choreography. Which are two of my favorite garba songs. My cousin getting married mentioned he likes Gujarati songs ( family is Gujarati ) so sent reel to him to ask his thoughts. He responds saying he really likes it and wants to use it to dance on with my bhabi. And now I’m kinda sad that I can’t use it. Every time I hear any of those songs / it comes on my feed I think abt the fact I could’ve danced to it but I can’t anymore.

Ok so last semester near end of semester i reached out to a prof abt doing research with him. He said he has space and I would be able to work with him. But was told for specifics about the project as well as time commitments per week that we will discuss that first week of fall semester. My question is when would be a good time to email him to set up a time to talk? My semester starts August 20th. Would first week of August be good? Or shd I wait till closer to when school starts?

So was wondering how does one go about finding roommates here. Imma have to start the roommate search process closer to December but don’t know where to start.

In college it’s so easy they have the roommate search tool through the university and then all these groups people make.

So was wondering if anyone could give advice on how roommate finding works post grad in Seattle? I want to make sure person is good and it’s not a scam and ect.

So recently I have come across a bunch of murder mystery elimination puzzle books such as killer isn’t allice and the lottery killer. I bought killer isn’t Alice and plan to maybe buy lottery killer series in future. But seeing how popular these books have become an idea popped into my head of what if I somehow attempt to make and publish my own. In theory it sounds easy and sounds like a good way to make some extra money on the side. But realistically how easy it would be. What are your guys thoughts?

I was thinking of doing something unique and not with names but not 100% sure on that yet.

So I’m an incoming senior in college my goal is to work in DNA post grad. And in the US one of the classes u need to have taken is molecular bio. And I will be taking that class in the spring of my senior year. However, if I see any open crime lab postings I am planning to apply in the fall.

However, I’m wondering what do I do if I see a job posting open but molecular bio does not show on my transcript yet. At my university on our transcripts it shows your classes for upcoming semester after registration is over. But i don’t know how long the processing period takes for that to show up. And from want I’ve heard correct me if I’m wrong the transcript is one of the first few things labs look at. So would there be any other way to indicate that I will be taking it so that way my application is properly consider?

NOTE: I have already taken Biochemistry, Genetics, and Stats molecular bio is only requirement I have left.

I live in america and recently tried ketchup chips for the first time last year. My friend went to Canada and brought me back two of the snack size bags of lays ketchup chips to try and I loved it. Unfortunately I don’t live near Canada / don’t know if or when I’m ever going to go. So was wondering if anyone knows any places where I can get ketchup chips in the US. Looking for places in either Richmond Texas or Glendale Arizona. Or also ordering online is fine.
