Hi!

I’m a Blinn TEAM student for engineering and my laptop won’t be coming until Tuesday afternoon. I’ll have an old macbook for the first two days of classes. Will I be okay?

Hi All,

Me and my mate from the UK,are coming over to watch Texas A&M @ Alabama, we are wondering if you have any advice, tips or help for the game weekend or for the time we are there.

We are really looking forward to (Finally) watching The Aggies in the flesh, instead of behind a screen.

GIG EM!

Hey y’all,

There are big structural changes happening to the on-season of PHYS 207 for Don’t Panic. Profs would be Erukhimova, Bassichis, and Nodurft. If you haven’t checked the simple syllabus yet, they are changing the exam structure. Previously there had been 3 midterm exams and a final exam totaling for like 92% of overall grade. Now there is only ONE midterm exam and a final totaling for 85% of your grade. Recitation part of grade is also increasing to like 10% of total grade, so it’s possible it will be more to turn in. Keep in mind, more homework is more practice but it will still be a lot. As always, classroom.physics.tamu.edu will be your best friend, but read the syllabus and go to all classes for info pertaining to your section.

RIP common exams, you will (NOT) be missed.

The breakdown of this semester’s fees includes things like transportation, the student health center, and other things like that as y’all probably know. My question is, do these fees mean the buses are free? I sincerely don’t understand how these additional fees work, especially since I’m not planning on using any of these campus resources. I know they don’t care whether or not I use their resources and just want the money, but I do want to know if I get anything at all out of paying for these things? And if not, can I dispute them?

I think it looks tuff. I want to take the first day of class photo in the uniform. Not in the hat though. The little hat looks dumb, so I'll just never wear it. I'm sure that won't get me in any trouble at all.

If you saw my last post, you know i still owe 5k after scholarships and will probably have to take out loans. Well, looking at my financial aid, it says I qualify for aggie assurance but I didn't get it because my scholarships and stuff paid for my anticipated tuition and fees. It also says it will be reevaluated on the 12th day with our actual fees. Should I wait to take out loans until that day to see if it pays for the rest? I know I will probably have late fees but if it pays for the 5k that'll work for me.

Students returning to campus, please be mindful and pay attention to what the tables at these resource fairs are actually trying to do/sell/get you involved in. There's apparently a table like the one in the title.

If you are ok with doing that, that is certainly your choice and I'm not going to tell you one way or the other if you should or you shouldn't, it's your life, but this is a big decision that deserves your careful attention and talking it through with people who are knowledgeable about the legal ramifications of that decision and people you trust.

So last year college apps went so shit for me but I got into TAMU. Since it was oos it was rly pricey. I decided to join the corps so I could get in state tuition. I thought I could push thru even if I wasn’t doing it for the right reason .and so far FOW has been kicking my ass. As someone who was never that social in hs and didn’t have that many friends, I always wanted that amazing college experience everyone talked about. But after doing stuff for 3 days I just feel like the corps can’t give me that. My parents and grandparents were super hyped that I’m doing this and I don’t want to disappoint them by punching even though my parents said it was okay to punch.

Add to that the fact that I’ve never seen my dad cry before and he’s cried like 4 times when moving me in and on the phone when I was telling him how hard the workout was and how bad the food is as a vegetarian. Thing is I don’t wanna call my parents again cuz I don’t want them to worry about me but I need someone to talk to.

I just thought that after all the rejections from colleges I faced last year maybe TAMU corps was a way of god telling me I’m special and that I had a different path than my friends who got into ivies. I just don’t know what to do and I’m stressed out and idk who to talk to. I regret college applications so much and I wish I hadn’t applied here and done the corps. I need some advice please. Wtf do I do. Should I punch or not? I’m also an engineering major so fuckkk.

hey!! i am an incoming freshman at texas a&m, and was curious about what the driving conditions at a&m are like. i’m a new driver (i passed my test earlier this month), and am also applying for a few jobs, both on and off campus, so i’m trying to see what the environment is like in that regard. are there any special rules i need to know about or anything like that? i would really appreciate any insight!!

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!

How do I get an A in physics 206? Genuinely?? Like if I were to start from ground zero, what would yall recommend me doing? I’m starting physics with Professor Kordell

Not really sure what this would really fall under, but I want to know how other people in my situation went about this.

Now I’ll start with saying that this honestly isn’t that big of a deal, and just want to type out my thoughts. So for my freshman year I was at a different college, and transferred here as a sophomore. Now that next semester is starting, I’ve been seeing a bunch of videos like pond hopping, fish camp, and just the freshman traditions.

I guess I just feel fomo- 😭 The school I was in freshman year didn’t have much school spirit, and when I was a sophomore here finally experienced what it’s like to be in a school I can be proud to be in.

What I’m getting at is I feel like my freshman year went down the drain, and there aren’t much „traditions” that come with being a sophomore/transfer. I just sometimes really wish I was able to experience freshman year here idk.

No time for theatrics, I'll just spell this out.

Was going to be entering Sophmore year in General Engineering, but now have been dismissed.

Failed Calc251 spring sem, tried retaking summer sem and still failed. According to the engineering school that's grounds for dismissal, and that's what happened to me. Appeal was denied.

I want to know what my possible choices at TAMU are now. Whatever it might be, it can help me.

My biggest priority is staying at TAMU. I'm consulting people about leaving the university, but I wanted to ask you guys to know what I can do to stay here and be back in engineering. I'm leaving the "other school" discussions for another forum.

Any help is appreciated.

Any part time jobs around here or full time that can at least help me survive? Tired of struggling. I’m a very hard worker and willing to work

Hey does anyone at A&M college station know how to dye hair? My sister dyed it pink for me a few days ago and it’s already fading and I wanna try touching it up with something that will last longer.

Sports Passes are available now.. Hurry just snagged 1. Good luck !
