Hey everyone,

This is about an incident that happened 2 months ago but basically I was walking to the Verano parking structure to get something out of my car when I see a group of three white guys wearing black leather jackets, turtleneck sweaters, and black berets with a skull n' bones pin on the beret. They were blocking the stairs to go up to the second floor , so I just casually walked up and one of the dudes says "Make way" which made me laugh a little since I always heard that phrase in the military. I said thank you as I walked by and got to my car to grab something. As I was walking back to get downstairs I see them walking up the staircase and the main dude spits on the ground in front of me and says "Have trouble finding your car ??" sarcastically as his friends laughed. I didn't want to escalate the situation into a 3v1 so I just said "nope I found my car". They take off leaving the parking lot but afterwards I was thinking about the skull n bones pin on their berets and it made me question if they were neo-nazis. It could also be a frat that I don't know about but I still see the main guy that spat on the ground in front of me near Verano and it pisses me off to this day. I guess I'm making this post to see if anyone recognizes them and if I should say anything the next time I see him.

How many of yall have actually gotten internships or full time jobs from LinkedIn? I’ve never had one and have gotten jobs without it. But is it worth making one? Any success stories out there?

Let's call it what it is... ITS sexual harassment. What’s disgusting about this is that everyone already knows exactly what kind of behavior this is, but because he hides behind being “playful” nothing gets done. Grown men in management positions should not be constantly winking at, staring at, and finding excuses to flirt with student workers half their age. The fact that multiple female students say he makes them uncomfortable should already be enough of a red flag. At some point it stops being “harmless joking” and becomes a pattern of creepy, unprofessional behavior that people are forced to tolerate because he knows how to stay just barely within the line.

I don't understand why females in the workplace have to constantly adjust their behavior or quit because of a person in authority is abusing their power. UCI dining proves that if you have a problem with management nothing will get done, and that's exhausting.

What makes it even more frustrating is that even women in positions of authority brush off his behavior. Imagine finally working up the courage to confide in someone you think will understand or defend you, only for them to minimize it, ignore it, or act like it’s not a big deal. There needs to be an end to this behavior.

I recently got off the waitlist for UCI, I thought I would never get in and failed my first semester of AP Calc. I had special circumstances regarding my housing situation, minimal parental support, and my father getting cancer. I am passing this semester and I was just wondering if I would get rescinded. My counselor can confirm this with admissions if needed and I can provide any other documentation needed. If it helps my major is Art History. I just want to know if this is something that will without a doubt get me rescinded, I know there are special circumstances, and I am looking for any advice.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I wanna try rushing as a sophomore because I regret not doing it as a freshman but I’m worried about not getting into a sorority bc of my GPA. I have 2.0 rn so I’m scared I won’t be ranked good, I have a job, I’m in a club I’m passionate about but I know it’s not enough.

I'm still in grade 11, and is wondering how hard it is to graduate in three years so I can pay one year less of tuition? I already have 5 on AP chem and Micro and hopefully will get a 5 on CalcBC, Macro, Stat, Psych and Compgov. If i take some more APs next year, how likely will I graduate early?

Hi everyone,

How’s the job market in the U.S. right now, especially for recent grads or tech/data roles?

I’m hearing very mixed things. Some say it’s improving, others say it’s still brutal with ghosting and barely any callbacks.

I stopped using LinkedIn because it got depressing lol. Would love to hear honest experiences or advice from people applying right now.

Why is there such a huge line in front of Trader Joe's this morning?

😕🙏 when is the next wave… praying!!

However let me be clear Im not spreading any misinformation, the only misinformation is the dining halls providing tasty, nutritious food.

I am currently nearing the end of my sophomore year. This school year has been incredibly tough for me and i’ve honestly never struggled this badly before. Ive been working my butt off to improve my B’s and C but there is no way for me bump them up a letter. With just my sophomore year i sit a 3.4 WEIGHTED and a 3.2 UNWEIGHTED. Even if i were to earn straight A’s in my Junior year (which seems incredibly unreasonable), i would only reach a 4.1 WEIGHTED and a 3.6 UNWEIGHTED. To add on, I strive to be a business and/or Finance major. I would love to hear all of your GPAs, as i am incredibly anxious i may not get into the colleges i dream of being apart of.

side note: I would love to hear all your study tips!! For my junior yesr I plan on taking AP Lang, APUSH, and a business dual enrollment college class. -- from a struggling AP Euro student who got nerfed with a bad teacher.

I was looking into UCI for college because of its premed program and more relaxed suburban life that isn't like UCLA. I've heard that the biggest downside is that it is socially dead. I honestly couldn't care more about football, so I don't really care that they don't have a football team, but I do want to be able to do some school wide activities sort of like UVA and their giant snowball fight kinda thing. Like it doesn't have to be these grand events but I do want to have some social life to spend time with friends and have like an actual fun college life. Do you think this would still be a good fit for me?

Upcoming undergrad for this fall, how important is it to get a car? I’m looking to get something reliable and plan to be very active on campus and clubs. Also would be trying to see if i can work study, but I hear to just have fun outside its very car lenient? Would not having one or having one affect my overall experience fun wise or just in general?

Hey everyone,

I’m a junior and I’m trying to enroll in an upper-division elective that I really want to take, but it has an “I” restriction on it. I’m a bit confused about when that restriction usually gets lifted (if it even does).

Does anyone know if there’s a specific time in the enrollment process when juniors are allowed to enroll in these classes, or is it something you have to wait for a petition / department approval for?

Has anyone gotten updates on their Summer Aid? Where can we view this?
