Every time I’ve been to the library/gateway/study rooms, I’ve had to tell people to keep their voices down. It’s actually so bad. Last week I saw a group of ppl having a whole ass Friendsgiving in a private study room with a full course meal and kpop blasting in the background. Someone asked them to turn the volume down, but nothing changed. Like ?????
I'm a student who hasn't received their Cal Grant yet. I depend on this grant to pay off my fees. I've done everything I can do on my end and have yet to receive my financial aid. I've tried contacting the financial aid office numerous times to no avail. My account has a financial hold on it and I'm worried about the upcoming fee deadline. If this deadline passes, does anyone know if they will drop my classes? Or are they extending the protection of not dropping classes for those students who don't have their financial aid? I've tried searching for this answer and nothing. I appreciate any update anyone else might have right now.
Feels like everyone else is so good at math and killing it in this class. Is it just me struggling with Math 2B? I can’t take in any of this stuff at all. And with finals coming up, I feel like I’m done for… I just hope that I can pass this class.
I’m looking at ACC housing for next year, and I saw one of the main downsides to VDC are break-ins. But most of these posts I found are very old. Is this still a problem that VDC and VDCN suffer more than other apartment areas?
im on the 3rd position on the waitlist for math 9 (intro to prog num analysis) for the winter quarter + im a math major, whatre my chances of getting it ?
Did u know that Celsius has the same pH of a lime? Me neither so make sure u drink thru a straw or constantly swish water in ur teeth between sips. I was wondering why my teeth were feeling so raw and it can be deduced to this. Only pointing this out to bc I’d hate for anyone to develop a cavity and then go to the student health center dentist to get it filled. When I went they were kinda yanking at my face and it was just a bad experience..
Also this quarter is so bad. I don’t feel confident at all in myself anymore bc I’ve had this pattern of procrastinating, unable to lock in, also just stretched thin and idk how ppl do it. I do research, 10 hour a week campus job and am enrolled in 4 classes. I also volunteer at the hospital but literally I’m failing one class and have Bs in everything else, my health is so bad as I can’t make time for the gym and I was also planning to apply into med school this cycle but honestly like I’m just an imposter. I sacrifice sleep so much to study bc of my constant lag with the quarter system and am chronically late to things and to counter that I’ve been rolling off the bed, brushing my teeth, and heading to class in my pajamas. So not only am I internally bummy I look bummy😭 and I just don’t know what makes me special anymore and what makes me deserving of anything but anyways sorry there’s probably ppl struggling to get their basic needs met so I feel ridiculous having these problems too. But from a pre med perspective it is so damn competitive nowadays and everyone around makes their lives look seamless/manageable and I feel like I’m just sinking😭 not cut out for this life but also I’m being dramatic

Anyone in UCI want to carpool to LAX in Dec 9 6am
Some of you may have seen our post a couple of months ago where we were looking for people to trial our business, for those who didn't here's a quick rundown. A friend and I thought it would be cool if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers kit. That way you can paint your dog, cat, partner, the whole family or whatever you want without having to be an artist.
We looked up the idea and found that the current stores in the market were ridiculously expensive or only offered kits without a frame or with a DIY frame (who wants to put together their own frame? Don't you just want to open the box and start painting). So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers and eventually we were able to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed.
We reached out to you here on Reddit asking you to test them out at cost price and we've received some amazing feedback as a result. Thank you if you were one of our OG customers! We want to continue to grow and get more feedback and reviews though so we're re-opening the offer in case you missed it the first time around or you want to order some more kits.
You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now, we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early. If you've already ordered with that code it has no been reset so you can get the deal again!
We look forward to getting more feedback and hopefully you'll love our kits enough to spread the word to your family and friends!

Hey! I’m a first-year OOS student and I was looking to get a private loan to pay the rest of my tuition and fees. I know it’s best to avoid these but my parents won’t accept the Parent Plus on my behalf and my federal loans aren’t enough. So, out of the ones that are accepted by UCI which would be the best to take? I need a large loan to pay off the rest of the year and don’t want to make the wrong by decision.

Basically I was late to work and my work clothes were barely drying so I had to take my car to work. Don’t have a pass and ended up parking at UTC parking lots but now i’m worried i might get a ticket or worse towed.
My shift is only 4 hours and i’m just praying it’s there when i get back. Anyone park at UTC and nothing happened ?
