Hey y’all! I’ve been making a few posts looking for apartments over the past month and finally got one! I’m not only excited and happy to be part of the Columbia community, but this is my first time living in South Carolina! I was born and raised in Michigan and lived in Kentucky for a few years, so this is all sort of new to me.

While my fiance has a job, I’m in need of one, and I don’t really know anyone here yet, so I was hoping maybe some of you had some great suggestions of where to work. Maybe you work there, know people who are hiring, or just can vouch for a place. Either way, I’m open to all information, and any help is appreciated. My DMs are also open if you wish to reach out to me directly.

My work background is honestly a little bit all over the place, and I’m completely okay admitting that. Most recently, I’ve been working as a special education teaching assistant. Before that, I’ve done product packing, worked and been involved on a university campus as a student, done camera operation, managed an arcade, and picked up a handful of other random jobs and experiences along the way.

At this point, I’m really open to something new. I don’t need to find a job that perfectly matches everything I’ve done before, and I’m definitely not afraid of starting somewhere new and learning as I go. If someone is willing to teach me and give me a chance, I’m willing to put in the effort, ask questions, learn, and grow into the role.

I’m genuinely open to almost anything right now, including fields or jobs I may not have considered before. I think sometimes you don’t know what you’ll be good at until somebody gives you the opportunity to try. Working in SPED with children has really helped me develop into an effective communicator and a great relationship builder.

More than anything, I’m ready to move on from being a teaching assistant and start a different chapter of my working life. I’m not expecting someone to hand me a dream job. I’m just looking for a decent opportunity, good people, and somewhere I can work hard, learn, and hopefully build something for myself.

If anyone has ideas, knows somewhere that might be hiring, or even works in a field that you think someone with my weird mix of experience could fit into, I’d really appreciate hearing from you. I’m keeping a very open mind.

besides a good shooting percentage, that still leads to a negative plus minus.

We like some of their prices, looking to move in from another state. Is it normal for places like this to lump sum amenities on utilities as one price and charge 88$/month for spectrum internet? does anyone know if that is fiber? Wondering if anyone has experience living here or have heard anything good? I know they offer a pool and tennis court which is nice but the area seems lacking in food, bars, things to do, etc, but people online say it s a beautiful area.

it was announced condos removing the grapple hook from Battle Royale modes. I just think it’s be awesome to add a Grappling Hook for escape situations in Zombies. Put it in a tactical grendade slot, have a cool down. Or make it the melee weapon?

Is there an official Columbia discord I can join to meet people or ask questions? I feel like this would grow the community. Additionally can anyone recommend online/Facebook groups to join?

So I only know a bit about Neil. Obviously his classic folk songs anyone might know, that he was big in Woodstock era with CSNY, but while recognizing him as maybe the greatest songwriter ever, I became enamored recently with his Farm Aid performance of Hey Hey, My My. I couldn’t help but think why he stands for a lot of the time is so punk. I saw that he liked the Sex Pistols and that a lot of people consider him the big innovator of Grunge (“Godfather of Grunge?”). I love music history and I feel like Neil has a very interesting life. And while I prefer his harder edge, grungier and heavy tones, I want to learn about his life. Are there any good movies or biopics about him?

Hey y’all! Looking to potentially move to Rockford but want to enjoy Chicago every once in a while. I do see in 2027 they are going to service rail Downtown which is great, but how likely is that to happen? I obviously don’t want to drive in, so I see the options look to be either drive an hour to Harvard or Elgin and maybe take their direct rail in? I could be wrong. i also saw there was something called Van Galder, that lets you park and ride to either blue line or downtown Chicago. I just want to know what readable to spend a day downtown and be able to get back at night too. How do y’all fare or what is everyone’s suggestions for transit?

Hey y’all! I’ve been making a few posts on here because I’m seriously considering moving to Columbia soon from KY (originally from Michigan).

Now I’ve gotta ask about the one thing that’s honestly stressing me out the most… roaches. 😅 I’ve never dealt with roaches or palmetto bugs in my life.

And I already know what some of y’all are gonna say: “You can’t avoid them.”

But here’s why I’m asking. Where we live in Kentucky now, people say the exact same thing. Our area is supposedly notorious for roaches, but we’ve been lucky enough to live in an apartment that takes pest control seriously. They have regular treatments, stay on top of issues, and in the time we’ve lived here we’ve never seen a single roach.

So I’m not expecting some magical bug-free city. I know it’s the South. I just want to find an apartment complex that actually cares, has good management, and keeps things under control so seeing one is rare/the exception instead of the norm.

If anyone has recommendations for apartment complexes where you’ve had a genuinely good experience with pest control, I’d really appreciate it. Looking for a 1-2 bedroom, preferably somewhere around downtown, Five Points, or really anywhere (within or outside Columbia).

Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all! Been making a few posts recently about moving here, I'm used to both super local and committed music scenes, all the way to bigger venues like in Detroit. I know based on research there may not be a HUGE music scene here (maybe I'm wrong), but where are the best venues to look into for both national and local acts? Most of what I've scene is a few decently big artists at a place called The Senate. I prefer venues where you can dance in a pit/standing vibe. Also is the scene here EDM, Hardcore, Punk, Folk, etc? It doesn't have to be huge, but it's always to see a big or growing scene whether it's underground or not. Also curious what bands or artists are known around the area? Are there local favorites? College bands? Etc?

Bonus Question 1: Are there any recurring local (or close drive) music festivals?

Bonus Question 2: Does University of South Carolina put on any concerts of have organizations that do so? My college did so I'm just curious if their venues are utilized for the public.

Thanks in advance! Figured this would be a good way for me to make some new friends in the area!

I know we are trying to see how good our prospects are doing (lots to prove still), all the posts I see are about them but why is not one talking about how good Isaac Jones is doing?

My sister just bought the game and doesn’t play shooters, but she wants to play Zombies. Claims it’s too hard. Which map is the most beginner friendly, don’t worry I know Ashes is a nightmare for new players.
