Math141 final

Anybody know what time and what room the math final is on Wednesday? I’ve checked all over my canvas page and there isn’t any time. I only know it’s on Wednesday through class.

Dawg I fucked up my final paper BAD by misreading the prompt

So basically I misread a paper’s prompt and submitted the wrong thing.

As soon as the professor notified me, I fired off an email apologizing and admitting my mistake.

This mistake brought my grade down an entire 13 points for the class. Yeah I passed but I know I can do better.

I’m hoping she gives me an extension to resubmit the paper. How cooked am I? Should I just cut my losses at this point and accept the lower grade, or do you think me being on time for every project and showing up to every class might help advocate for me?

My anxiety is out the roof over this

Student-Run E-Commerce Club Selling Used Dorm Items, to support food pantry

It might be a little late in the semester, but I wanted to share an idea inspired by my own online thrifting experiences—especially noticing how even nonprofits like Goodwill successfully sell donated items on these platforms.

When students move out of the dorms, they often end up discarding a surprising number of perfectly good items. Figuring out which ones still hold real value can be tricky—especially once you factor in e-commerce shipping costs, platform fees, and buyer appeal. For example, bulky items like mini fridges are expensive and difficult to ship profitably, while things like used bedsheets or half a board game usually aren’t appealing to online buyers.
Here’s the concept: A student-run e-commerce club would accept donations of used dorm items and resell the higher-value pieces on platforms like eBay, Poshmark, or ThredUp. Club members interested in e-commerce or entrepreneurship would gain hands-on experience by deciding what to accept, researching fair pricing, managing inventory, taking product photography, writing compelling descriptions, handling customer interactions (including returns and best-offer requests), choosing sales strategies like auctions or advertising, and fulfilling orders.

Any lower-value or bulky items that don’t make sense to ship—such as microwaves, refrigerators, lamps, or similar pieces—could be sold through a simple on-campus pop-up sale during move-out or donated to a local organization like Goodwill.

All proceeds would go directly to the campus food pantry. It’s a true win-win: students get an easy, responsible way to clear out their belongings, club members build practical business skills they can list on their résumés (complete with metrics like “Managed X sales and fulfilled Y orders for a campus nonprofit”), and the food pantry receives additional funding to support our community.

What do you think?
