how fucked am I?

I’ve missed two of my classes (the rest are asynchronous) for the last seven weeks. I got sexually assaulted during a frat party, spent the night in the ER and kind of lost my mind after. My dad also got diagnosed with cancer, and I just decided to leave without telling anyone (I know, stupid) and am just now returning to UB. Technically, I can still pass one of the classes with around a 75% even if the professor isn’t understanding and I’m not sure about the other one. Do professors usually understand this stuff? Should I even reach out to tell them what happened? I know I’m screwed and I know it’s my fault. I’ve never really had to reach out to a professor like this, so I just wanna know how understanding they usually are

Beautiful Weather Today

Today's weather on campus is absolutely amazing. It really represents Autumn. The cool blowing wind which provides a gentle, forceful but calming breeze, the sunlight, which is present in appearance, but softer in its flaming heat, and the changing colors of the leaves, representing Autumn shades and sunset colors.

A wind that blows, forceful but calming in strength

Cool in the breeze, further away distance summer's heat

Sunlight shines high above in the sky, but lighter in presence as a decaying reach

Sunset shades reflect the Autumn leaves, into the grounds and through the wind, they fall away

Noise in the libraries

Last week at lockwood I was on the main floor (2nd) and this one girl was talking loudly on the phone, chewing loudly too, constantly. Someone literally got up and left, I heard them saying “I came here to study bruh” under their breath. When I spoke to the front desk about asking her to lower her volume, they told me to just go to the higher floors where it’s quiet.

Is that normal? I mean why do I have to relocate because someone’s loud? Or is it generally okay to talk on the main floor?

Free energy drinks

Does anybody know how to easily find events with free energy drinks? My roommate keeps coming back with a like 10+ energy drinks in her backpack and she says that she gets them from random events like SASE and just takes a bunch when nobody is looking. I feel bad taking her energy drinks and I want to hold up my end. Is there an easy way to find out events that have free energy drinks? UBLinked doesnt often state that. Thank you reddit.

Planning a new bouldering gym + study lounge and coffee bar near UB north campus - feedback needed!

Hey everyone,

I recently tried posting this to r/Buffalo but it got removed for "self-promotion." I can safely say that we are simply trying to get a community opinion on this, so if any mods are reading this, please don't delete.

My name is Harrison. I’m a recent UB graduate now living and working here in Buffalo. My business partner and I are currently working on a plan to bring a brand-new bouldering gym to the Amherst area, located close to UB North Campus.

Our vision is to build a modern climbing layout that acts as a true community hub—featuring a premium local coffee bar, dedicated workspaces with high-speed wifi, and a student/remote-worker hangout lounge.

Since we want to build this specifically with the WNY and student community in mind, we want to make sure it actually hits the mark for local climbers and residents. We’re trying to gauge what people think about a closer campus/suburban option compared to driving out to Central Rock Gym downtown or Niagara Climbing Center in North Tonawanda.

Whether you're an experienced climber or someone who just wants a cool new space to hang out and study/work, we would love your input!

We made a quick, anonymous Google Forms survey to help us build out our business plan and prove local demand to investors. It takes less than 2 minutes to fill out. Here is the link to the survey:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1okY1lapFHOkp09J_DWPPPUwttKUBBElsclPy9VhIbEvHEw/viewform?usp=dialog

Thank you for taking your time to read through this, we really want to make our dream come to life!

Regards,

Harrison

Working on a UB class project to design an app concept for renters—need your feedback! 🔑

Navigating leases, security deposits, and landlord communication can be confusing. For a coursework project at UB, our team is designing a user interface concept for How2Life, an app idea focused on delivering straightforward guides for adulting tasks.

We’re currently conducting user research to map out what features and learning formats people would actually like to see in terms of advice for renting a place.

If you have 5 minutes, please consider taking our anonymous student survey! Whether you’re a first-time renter, currently searching, or an experienced tenant, your responses will help inform our design choices and project deliverables.
