A cry for help from West Campus

There was no sweet tea in the Hort or Plant Pathology vending machines. Rosenthal wasn't even open so I had to walk all the way to the west campus starbucks/store to get my morning fix. Have we no shame? Have they forgotten us?

Interview?

I am taking an introductory class to architecture and have an assignment to interview an architect. Would anyone who is interning or working in the field be down to hop on a zoom with me for 15 mins?

PSA: Stay Away from Amway (rhyme unintentional)

There's a cult-like MLM scam that's spreading slowly in college station and many other areas called Amway. They specifically target young college students looking to make money or friends. It usually starts by one of their members asking you if you'd be interested in their "e-commerce" business and will then schedule a meeting for you to meet their mentor. After a couple of meetings you'll attend a group meeting with a speaker explaining more about the actual company Amway. They're very friendly and will make you feel welcome so that you won't be as likely to leave. The meeting pitches it as an easy way for young entrepreneurs to make money and you'll likely attend another meeting after which they'll go more in depth of what you'll be doing. They'll ask you to replace all your products with Amway products, sell as many products as you can to other people, and get as many friends and family members as you can to attend one on one meetings with your mentor so that they can be successful too. It's essentially a multi-level marketing scheme that uses cultlike tactics to keep you in and recruit more and more members. They're intentionally vague at first to get you to invest more time and effort into it and be less likely to quit. If someone approaches you about their e-commerce business and refuses to tell you any more info, decline. Best case scenario you waste a good few hours of your time, worst case you're fully indoctrinated into a cult.

Family Food Suggestions

Howdy Ags!

My family's driving into town for this week's football game, and we all want to eat together either for lunch on game day or breakfast the Sunday after.

We've already eaten at The Chicken, Gumby's, and at Fish Daddy's before in the past, as well as at all the normal places. I wanted to suggest something new where we haven't gone to shake things up.

If y'all could offer any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!

Pretty sure I’m getting scammed?

Someone texted one of the a&m group mes saying theyre selling their season tickets for all home games for $80. They’re asking me to apple pay to them and sent a student id. Im kinda suspicious since it says fraudulent when I try to send them the money… when I ask them to tell the number to respond they say its their dad and he’s busy. They sent the picture. I emailed the tamu email of the persons id they sent.

Tailgating map differences

Are there any differences while tailgaiting under the 4 areas of UCEN? Are they more of a family vibe, or student vibe. Thank you! https://aggiepark.ucenter.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2023/09/Map-free-and-paid-tailgating.jpg

Does anyone at Aggie Park look after the ducks? He/she has been panting since I’ve been with them for like 15 minutes. I’m worried about them. Is there anyone I can let know to help?

What are some of your life issues that an app could help you fix?

I'm looking for any issue that you WISH there was an app somewhere on the app store that would have functionalities to help you. Or maybe there is one, but they just aren't doing it right? Anything from ADHD and mental disorders to issues that you find on campus.

I'm hoping that this post will help gather ideas, not only for me but for my fellow aggie developers. Please share, and your issue might get fixed!

Looking to begin a startup as a programmer. Where could I look for a partner with strong marketing/ financial background?

Current student at TAMU. I'm not good with generating ideas, but I'd like to participate in aggie pitch or something that could provide revenue to boost the startup. I think a partner in crime could be useful. I want to build an app that will hopefully be published on the app store. I have a few ideas myself, but a partner could really help me get into fruition.

I'm not sure if any of the opportunities listed on https://mcferrin.tamu.edu/programs/#current-student would help me find the right partner.

Has anyone been in this position before?

Why aren’t campus smoothie kings on the app anymore?

Might be a little late to this question, but why did they take the MSC/Sbisa smoothie kings off of the app? Can’t order online or claim rewards anymore and it seems like they’re getting like half as many orders

Anywhere on campus I could go to learn/study for FAA Drone Certification?

Howdy!

I'm thinking about getting my FAA Drone Certification, as I think it would be a nice addition to my resume. Are there any places or organizations either on campus or in the BCS area that could help me train or study for the FAA Drone Certification?

Dining Dollars

Howdy! I know this may sound stupid, but how do you use your dining dollars at other restaurants within A&M. For example, Chick-fil-A I know accepts dining dollars. So how would you use those dining dollars at Chick-fil-A? Do I just swipe my Aggie ID card or do I have to do something else. Thanks!
