Hey people! I just got out of the Marine Corps a few months ago and ended up here! I'm 23, ton of tattoos, and starting school here as a biology major? idk how this stuff works lol. If i'm not at the gym i'm with my little daschund pup. We'd love to meet some people around here!

Hello everyone, I recently moved here in April and after settling in, I have been looking for some friends and something to do after work that gets me out of the house. I love crafting and want to join a craft club in BCS. If you know of one, let me know!!! Thank you!

Howdy! I’m looking for some art for my new apartment, and I’d love to support a local artist! 🎨
I’m looking for something reasonably priced—thinking florals, Texas-themed pieces, or anything that represents College Station. I’d love to see what you have or any recommendations!

Howdy Aggies!

First off, I want to say thank you. When I first posted about the release of my new bus routes app, I was not expecting anything at all. I was very wrong.

You guys absolutely blew me away. Y'all have shown me so much positivity and given me such great feedback. I just checked and we already have around 300 downloads on iOS alone in just a few days. That may not sound like a ton, but I was expecting to see maybe 50 at most. So truly, thank you, this means a lot to me.

Recent Updates & Features

Thanks to your incredible feedback, here is what we have implemented so far:

• Bus Approaching Notifications: In the Notifications section under the More tab, you can now add alerts for when a bus is about to reach your stop. (Note that right now it is a little buggy and you may receive duplicate notifications, but it is working!)

• Easier Inbound/Outbound Switching: Previously, you had to scroll back through the selector to switch directions. Now, when you have a route open, a quick-tap icon pops up below the selector to easily switch between inbound and outbound (requested by u/ExtensionAuthor5483). You can also view both directions at the same time (requested by u/notanindianboi).

• Route Locking: In the Favorites tab, there is now a lock icon next to each route. Locking a route means it will automatically open every time you launch the app (requested by u/notanindianboi).

• Notifications Tab UI Redesign: I updated the UI to offer a more user-friendly walkthrough approach (let me know if you prefer this or the old one!). Additionally, you can now choose whether or not to receive official transit news for each route. If you already set up alerts, you are automatically opted in, but you can disable it anytime.

• Android Support (Kinda!): To be a Play Store developer, I need an Android device (which I currently don't have). However, since so many of you asked, I didn't want to leave you empty-handed. Until official support arrives, I will be releasing APKs for each build directly on my website. You'll need to check the site manually for updates, but I'm also happy to make a group chat or DM y'all!

That’s all for now! I don't want to spam the sub with posts about this app, so I may not post much until I have official Android support ready (or if I need testers).

I remember telling my friends just a few weeks ago that I didn't know if working on this would really be worth it or if anyone would download it. Thanks for proving me wrong. Gig 'em!

We just bought a house and upon move in found the sprinklers have a problem. Got a quote from one company that quoted us $1100+ but the invoice seems like things that shouldn’t be that difficult based on my reading. However, im not very handy and im willing to g to pay someone, but would like another opinion. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for someone who does garage door repair in the College Station area. My garage door is having some issues and I’m looking for someone reliable who can come take a look, diagnose the problem, and give me a fair price for the repair.

(27 M)

I’m still fairly new to the area, so I figured it’s probably time I actually make some new friends lol. I’m pretty active and usually down to do something rather than just sit around. I’m into honestly anything that involves a good activity and a couple drinks afterward.

I’m really just looking to meet some cool people and build some genuine, platonic friendships!

I was living at the Bryan Twin City Mission shelter, where I had lived since July 29th. I was already set to move out on September 3rd. (I put down the deposit to move into a place closer to the College Station side, which is also by my work).

I was having trouble getting hired anywhere in Austin (my hometown), so I spent my last $60 on a Greyhound ticket out here to start over. Got immediately hired and things had been looking up. I'm still working, but the Twin City Mission kicked me out today, claiming that I disrespected a staff member and called them a name. I literally didn't. The majority of people had my back, and the case managers there have even documented and reported the problems that have been happening there recently. Lots of antagonizing and hatred going on there, including with staff members who are also residents themselves.

What are my options here? I was wanting to further my education and still intend to, so are there loans/grants I could get that could help me cover cost of living in the meantime? I just don't have any family or support system except for a few friends who are also broke and don't have living situations that allow them to take someone in (both in BCS and Austin), and my current job in BCS is the first job I've managed to get in a while. I don't want to leave and just be stuck unemployed somewhere else, but I also cannot and will not camp out in BCS, since that's illegal and can cause me more problems. I can maybe get a motel for one night but that's gonna take all my money and then what? I have to be able to pay first month rent on September 3rd. The roommate I'm moving in with is still planning on moving there with me, but he also lives at the mission and there's nothing he can do to help me until that day. I'm honestly completely devastated. I was just trying to fix my life and I thought I was doing everything right. I don't abuse drugs or alcohol and I didn't really need much help from the mission, other than a place to live and help getting back on my feet. Which they were giving me until today. I kept my head down, did not speak unless spoken to, and I still got thrown out. The staff there are violent and hostile, and tried to chase me down into the street as I was leaving. The man running the front desk screamed at the top of his lungs that he will "hunt me down and find me tonight". This is all on camera at twin city, and I also contacted Bryan PD about it. A detective called me back while I was at work, and I just got off. I called and now no one is available. Not that they can necessarily help much anyway...

So I have a trip coming up soon, and I'm stuck between the reliability and very expensive price of a Taxi, or doing it through Uber. A taxi service I found on google for the area lists 275 as the price to get to Houston. Both times I've looked on Uber, I can do it for almost 1/3rd of that, at just above 100 bucks. This is a ridiculous price difference, but the Taxi is guaranteed, and there's no guarantee anyone will be up and willing to drive to the airport in Houston from this area.

Has anyone ever done this before? Has trying to book the uber in advance helped?

I interviewed for a Twin Peaks Girl position at the Bryan, TX location and I genuinely thought it went really well. The manager seemed to really like me, had me try on the uniform, and took the pictures to send to corporate for approval.
I also made sure I was completely put together for the interview. I had big bombshell curls, full glam makeup, lashes, everything. I felt like I looked really polished and fit the whole Twin Peaks aesthetic, and the interaction with the manager made me feel pretty confident about it.
They told me corporate still had to approve my pictures, so I waited several days for them to review everything. I finally followed up today and found out that corporate didn’t approve me.
I’m honestly just confused about what they’re looking for. 😭 If the manager liked me enough to move me forward, I looked good in the uniform, and I came in fully styled, what usually makes corporate approve or deny someone?
For anyone who’s worked at Twin Peaks or has gone through the corporate photo approval process, do you know what they actually judge? Is it body type, facial features, makeup/hair, how you photograph in the uniform, or just whether you fit a very specific look?
Especially interested in hearing from anyone who has worked at the Bryan/College Station location or has been through this process recently.

We moved our son into the dorms yesterday, and something happened with the exhaust system in his car. We tried repairing it ourselves, but changing the part the code indicated did not help. Need to tow it to a mechanic, but it’s Sunday and we don’t want to get stuck with an untrustworthy place and be stuck with them. Does anyone have a great experience with a mechanic they would recommend? The car isn’t worth much, but it’s what he’s got. Thanks in advance for your referrals!

I’m a 27-year-old guy and Aggie alum who recently relocated back to College Station during a career pivot. I’m looking to rebuild my social circle, which I’ve found gets increasingly harder the older I get.

This seems particularly true when it comes to befriending other guys. I’m openly gay, but partnered, so I’m not looking for dating or anything romantic.

I’m hoping to meet guys who enjoy getting out, trying new things, and having good conversations. I’d love to find some easygoing friends to join me for things like:

• Fitness: I’m new to prioritizing my health and have recently started getting into the gym.
• Outdoors: Hiking, fishing, and wildlife.
• Creative pursuits: Classic cinema, crocheting, fiction writing, book clubs, and thrifting/antique hunting.
• Low-key: Catching up over coffee or a beer.

If any of that sounds like you, feel free to reach out!

A massive new interstate is proposed for the Brazos Valley, raising red flags for some residents in the region. But officials say don't read too much into the maps just yet.  

Hello. I'm moving to College Station in a few days as an A&M Freshmen and I don't know much about the area. I am planning to go to Austin for a concert on 10/17. If anyone else is going around that time and would be interested in splitting an Uber, please lmk! I looked at buses, but they took a really long route, so that would kind of be a last resort. I'll look into using Hitch a little later, but if anyone also has similar plans, please do reach out. Btw I'm 18M living a few minutes from the main tamu campus if anyone was wondering so yea. If this wasn't the right place for me to post lmk, I'll take it down.

howdy! 21M here! I’ve been at A&M for a couple years now but haven't really made any friends in the area, I’d like to change that! I’m a business major, though I’m actually planning to go into law. I have a ton of interests, drawing, singing, MMA(practicing not watching), D&D, MTG, etc… basically everything except cars, and sports. also I don’t drink sorry to be a buzzkill lmao.

so yeah feel free to shoot me a message or reply to this!
