Front desk staff here.

I work in a building with classic triples. They do actually have AC, but we're told not to turn it on because it wastes energy. ​

I've had a few students come up and ask nicely if we could turn on the AC and I said no because they were too polite. Then this guy came up screaming and shouting and I was just so convinced that I turned on the AC in his room. His is the only room that has AC in the entire building on right now and it's because of how confident and assertive he was.

Just a reminder that front desk staff can make your lives infinitely better and we choose not to unless you're mean to us!

I want to know if anyone else is having a really hard time finding real friends and connecting with people here or if it's just me. I'm a transfer junior and I've been here for two weeks and I've been feeling down since I haven't really talked or met anyone. On top of that, I'm not even close with my roommates since it was a last minute desperate move that I regret. I'm joining a cultural social club and a couple of other extra curriculars but nothing goes anywhere with floormates or classmates. Send help:(

lock in, phone charging in the other room so I don't get distracted, but to access HW files, canvas is like cHeCk FoR a dUo PuSh

I just overheard this guy talk about how he found a neat program aligned for their program. Their friend essentially said "don't share it with the club tho" and he said "Ofc I won't, it's about us not them". I was honestly gobsmacked!

I keep hearing students talking about their regular club members as stepping stones so that they can have nice titles for their resumes, I honestly lost all respect for clubs here bc it's so consistent. Even the big league clubs like Flying Samaritans which are focused on uplifting specific students, talk so badly about them.

HOLY SHIT JUST STAY HOME FFS

it's a rare mix but the schools so big maybe someone here is (im middle eastern and asian)
