Emailing Profs for Labs

I’m a first year who wants to try to work or intern at a bio-anything lab on campus. I’m currently a bio systems engineering student (possibly transferring to biochemistry engineering) and wonder how should I email them? Also when I look at the biomedical biochemical engineering websites I can’t tell what professors actively have labs on campus. I know they do work on campus, but if someone can link me to it specifically that’d be great because I’m scared I’ll email a prof who doesn’t have a lab. Regardless, how do I start the email/how should I go about it?

Leasing/apartments

Sorry if this is a dumb or a common sense question but how does leasing work? I am a freshman right now and am currently looking for apartments to live in (with roommates/housemates ofc since it's cheaper) for the next school year and I was just wondering how the whole thing works. I've seen some Facebook groups and they're already leasing their apartments so if I want a place from September '25 and onwards, do I need to contact them and reserve it?? or ???. any advices would be appreciated <3

also, there is a possibility that Im going to bring my car next year so its kinda okay for it to be further

She was already interviewed and was told that the job starting date is July of next year. If anyone has experience with the application process, please share some thoughts and timelines on when the next communication might come so that my friend can have an idea.

Looking for a good friend

Hi I like never post on here and I know this may be a little bit specific but I really want a friend who gets me yk? I’m a first year female that’s very serious about school and going into some health career. I’m looking into PA school currently and want to (hopefully) get accepted into a top program. My current hyper fixation for a while now has been genshin impact (I unironically play whenever I get the chance). Im also someone who’s super into Pilates and running (my goal for college is to be able to compete in a half marathon race before I graduate). I’m not necessarily a super social person.. just making this post alone is putting myself way out there but I haven’t yet connected with anyone on campus yet (not even my roommates somehow!!) but I’d be happy to chat and possibly swap instas with anyone!

Library: "Silent Study"

When it says silent study, it means to shut up. It does not mean to bring a friend over and talk to them (even if you're whispering) nor does it mean to be on the phone with someone else. There are other regions in the library that allow you to do collaborative work. Finals week is approaching, so respect your peers that want to study in silence.

It's annoying when people keep talking when it clearly says its a no talking zone.

Che 2a w/ Gulacar

hi! I’m taking Che2a with Gulacar right now, and i’m feeling pretty uneasy about the final. I know his curves are pretty good, but does he also curve the final? If so, do any of you guys remember what they were along the lines of?? Also, his midterms aren’t usually more than 15 questions, but since he doesn’t make the final, about how many questions is it? Thank you guys for any help you could offer😭

In a bit of a pickle

I’m a political science-public service major, as part of my graduation requirements I need to do an internship and research. I applied to the UC Center Sacramento Program and the Washington Program.

I got into the Washington Program for spring 2025 but haven’t heard back from the Sacramento. I have to turn in my housing contract on the 5th of this month but idk what to do.

I’ve been to D.C. two times and I don’t love it, I would much rather stay in Sacramento/Davis. However, because I am a transfer student that is double majoring, I would rather get my internship requirement out of the way.

Another concern is that I live at The Green and I would need to get out of my contract but I would be risking not having housing for summer sessions 1&2. (I have to get out of my contract because FAFSA covers my housing costs, meaning I would get my DC housing payed for)

What should I do??!?

Why is UCD AIMS charging me money when I’ve alr paid for parking for the day?

I go park over by Mondavi in that L zone for 2.75 in the morning, then I see my card’s been charged for 6 bucks later today. This has happened a couple of times before I’m just confused

Need extra commencement tickets

Might be a long shot but anyone willing to spare me 2 extra tickets? I don’t have much friends I can ask for this.

P.s. Please don’t dm me if you’re trying to sell cuz I get a lot of scalpers and scammers. Also selling tickets is reportable to the SJA.

Anyone willing to spare me their tickets I’ll buy you a meal or smth 🥹

PHY 7A (pls give tips/advice!)

We all know the PHY series is quite horrible but some of us (me) still went ahead to take it at Davis anyways.

I’m failing the class at the moment but the final is literally 50% so there’s a good chance I can make a comeback. Has anyone been on the verge of failing (we’re talking D’s & F’s here) and was able to pass the class?

If so what did you do? The final is in like 6 days and I have the attention span of a 5 year old but I’m willing to lock tf in, so any advice to pass this class would be helpful!! Thank you in advance :)

Grade Appeals

Hi guys! Does anyone know if it’s possible to appeal final grades? Earlier this quarter I suffered a medical emergency that had me in bed struggling to breathe and just really do anything for a week. During this week I had a in person presentation for a grade, I wasn’t able to attend obviously. I had trouble getting in contact with my prof at the time because she wouldn’t answer her emails or actually attend her own office hours. In the emails I was explaining to her my situation & had a doctors note excusing me from class. When I finally got into contact with her she told me I couldn’t make up the grade and flat out gave me a zero. Is there anyway I would appeal this through the school or something??? I had an A+ in the class and now sitting at a B. Just seems so unfair.

How to deal with burnout

I’m posting here cause I literally have two midterms in 3 hours and I’m clueless on what to do anymore cause I haven’t been able to study for the last three days. For context, I’ve been dealing with depression and anxiety for many years now but only got diagnosed recently and have been trying to deal with it through therapy and stuff. But (by my amateur assessment) I might have a more overlying problem of academic burnout. Thing is, I tried taking the summer off and it didn’t seem to help cause as soon as I came back, my motivation for academics only lasted for a few days. I’ve missed so many classes and have tried to compensate in various ways, like getting notes from others and watching recorded lectures. But I know that’s definitely not a sustainable strategy. Has anyone else had to deal with academic burnout and, if so, how did you deal with it? Thanks and sorry for the long post.

help finding an apartment (PLEASE)

I'm planning on transferring to ucd in fall 2025 and I've practically dug through every single apartment there is but I'm still not sure on which ones are the best. I do have a cat and I was looking for a pet friendly 1bd 1ba apartment for under 1800 (excluding utilities) if possible. Pepperwood is honestly my ideal but there aren't a lot of reviews and I dont know the process of apartment applying. Some help would be appreciated, like a LOT.

edit: if you live at pepperwood and would like to transfer your lease please tell me
