Dealing with withdrawals on campus

Ngl I'm fiending 95% of the time in class and I can't find any interest in my coursework unless Im geeked up off the 'Eine (Caffeine) and the 'Tine (Nicotine). Im struggling to really keep myself engaged because No gas station clerk will sell me zyns nor cigarettes and the smoking cessations I currently use don't help. Im just a scholar who tryna get geeked Amid the Classwork. What's the Move? I steal coffee from the FixIt Center building because you can just walk in and the coffee pot is always full. How can I address my nicotine withdrawals on campus? (I'm Not Gonna Quit. Never Back Down Never Give Up) (Image is me for reference)

I Hate Casa

Why is CASA doing preferred times now. Like I clicked a bunch of preferred times for Friday for my exam yet I didn’t get a single one!!!! Apparently now it’s randomly selected who gets the time slots they picked every 24 hours. It’s so dumb, I picked my preferred times right when it opened at 12:01 am the day of yet didn’t get a single preferred time I wanted they all filled up. This new system is horrible, like what if I can only take the exam on Friday because of my job on Saturday. This basically hurts people who have a tight schedule and try to make sure their school and work don’t overlap. UH needs to change this system immediately, all it does is reward people who picked their preferred times late in the right before it randomly selects.

Advice for getting more aid?

Hi! I’m currently a high school student, and UH is my top choice. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money to attend at the moment. I’m an out-of-state student and received the Academic Challenge Scholarship, which granted me 4k and in-state tuition, but it’s still not enough. I also didn’t receive any financial aid from FAFSA. Does anyone have advice on how I could receive more funding from UH? 😭🙏🏾

Late night places to study on campus?

Yoo, I’m a physics major and I’m most likely gonna transfer to uh bc I live in Houston. I love chalkboards (more than dry erase) and I am hoping there are places I can go to when I need to study and do hw late at night and use boards.

Are there any good locations you recommend?

Can I advertise my personal business on campus? If so, where are the best places to do so?

Hi, everybody. I have a screen printing business I run with my father and I was just wondering if I could advertise it on campus by putting up flyers or business cards on the school bulletin boards. However, I don’t know if UH have rules/regulations regarding this. Does anybody know if this is allowed? If so, where are the best places to do so? Thank you!

Got accepted but to my 3rd choice. Suggestions?

Hi, as the title says, my first option was CS, my second was Mech Engineering, and third was Global Hospitality and leadership if I remember correctly. I chose my 3rd choice randomly because I wasn't interested in anything else but CS or Mech Engineering and turns our that is what I get. I don't really got anything special going on when it cones to my academics. I have a 3.6 GPA and top 25% in my class of about 600 students. UH was test optional so I decided to not submir my awful SAT scores. Would going to cc then transfering be a much better idea?

is it still possible to receive cougar promise? UH has ignored my Financial appeal for 8 months now!

I’m a current freshman- i submitted a special financial circumstances appeal in July and the school has YET to get back to me. My 2022 tax return that they asked for in the 23-24 school year was not accurate to my families financial situation starting Jan 2024 as my dad (the main breadwinner) was let go from his job, dropping HH income to $68k (my moms salary).

I feel like UH just doesnt want to pay out anything and its frustrating and i’m considering transferring to a school that will give me some extra support or even as much as full tuition wothout having to wait 8 months at this point

I’m fed up and dont know what to do

any info or help would be GREATLY appreciated

$10 for giving a review

So i was in the university of Houston in student center south. Some lady came to me told me some particular order to place at my address and she paid for that order. And after order will deliver she told me to put 5 star review on Amazon. And for that she'll pay me $10 on Zelle. She said that she's helping to someone.

Is that happen to somebody on campus??. Because I'm feeling like i made mistake to do something like that. And what if it's scam ? Or in future if happens something with me? Should i worry about it??

Admitted to graduate program before having a complete application?

Hi everyone,

I was granted unconditional admission to a Master’s program at UH despite the fact that one of my references hasn’t submitted his letter of recommendation; the program requires three letters, and only two have been sent to the university. Is this normal, and should I still wait for the third letter of recommendation before enrolling?

How do I deal with the loneliness

This is my third year at UH and it makes me really sad that I haven't made any friends. The only person to blame is myself, I don't really have any hobbies besides doomscrolling on social media. I wish I was into sports or other cool things but to other people I probably am the most boring person ever. Which I am fine with but I know I might seem like a loser for not going to parties or ever going out. Watching tiktoks and crying laughing at really stupid memes is the only thing I have going for me. And binge watching shows. I only have like a few friends from HS but I'm starting to think I'm not the type of person who was meant to have friends in the first place. I have tried apps like bumble and even reddit to meet people and have met up with them on campus but I haven't really connected with any of them. I have been in an org related to my major for almost 2 years. I have plenty of linkedin connections because of it but no actual friends. I know people say that u should also join fun clubs, not just ones for your major. But because I have no hobbies, no other org is appealing to me. I've scrolled through the getinvolved org list countless times just hoping I find some sort of new org that could be for me. I have also tried talking to ppl in class but when I try reaching out after the class ends I don't get a response. Am I just off putting? Too awkward? I guess we'll never know. I often wonder if I have autism or ocd, I've never been diagnosed. I usually love being by myself and I have learned to enjoy my own presence but there are times (like now) where I realize that I truly have no one. My parents are the only people who I feel like actually, genuinely care about me. Besides them, I'm all alone. The loneliness just gets to me sometimes.
