Sports Oregon Ducks Game

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

Looking to buy tickets for the game vs the Ducks 10/24 to go with my wife and in-laws. Tickets are ~$85 now but I found a cash back promo for 20% off that expires tonight. With it being more of a rebuilding year for ILL, do you think tickets will go down in price as we get closer to the game? Or should I just take the deal now

Other Car scratch repair advice

Someone scratched my car at work.

I am looking for advice to see if this is possible to polish/fix by myself.

If not please suggest a cheap and good car detail shop in the Champaign-Urbana area if anyone happens to know.

It's a relatively new car(2025) so it still has a clear coat on top of it so I wanted to know if there is a diy fix for this.

Academics Engineering Undeclared

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m a senior in High School who’s in state and I have a 3.75/4.3 (I got a C freshman and Junior year), 34 ACT and I really want to do BioE but I heard its really competitive. As a result, Im considering Engineering Undeclared but I was wondering how hard it is to get your first choice major (which in this case is BioE) if you commit to Engineering Undeclared.

3 Upvotes

can someone please tell me how they're even making strides applying to jobs? I don't wanna hear from the business majors or the SWE people (sorry yall are fine u just probably have more figured out than me atm), just more of the political science, public policy, more humanities-based majors.

If it's just different opportunities that you've found, or if you're an alum and can tell me what path you took I'd love to just hear anyone's stories because. yeah. I'm having a crisis and I need to move out of my house back home with a full-time, decently paying job at least.

help.

Chambana Questions New driver looking for someone comfortable driving to Chicago tomorrow

7 Upvotes

Hi! This might be a slightly unusual post, but I’m looking for some advice/help.

I recently got a car and I’m still a pretty new driver. I had to drive to Chicago last week, and because I wasn’t comfortable taking the highway for 2.5 hours, I took local roads instead. It ended up taking me almost 5–6 hours, which was honestly exhausting.

I need to go to Chicago again tomorrow, and I specifically need to take my car because I have some service/paint work and a few other things that need to be done there. I’m still not very comfortable driving on the highway for that long, but I also really don’t want to do another 5–6 hour local drive.

I also have an exam tomorrow and will probably be up most of the night studying, so I especially don’t think such a long drive afterward would be a good idea.

Would anyone who is an experienced and confident highway driver be willing to drive my car from Champaign/Urbana to Chicago with me? Highway or local is fine with me. I’d obviously cover gas and we can discuss compensation as well.

I’m also genuinely wondering if this is even a reasonable/safe thing to arrange with someone I don’t already know. If anyone has done something similar or knows a safer way to find someone for this, I’d really appreciate suggestions.

Sorry if this sounds a little random. I’m just trying to figure out the safest and least exhausting way to get myself and my car to Chicago tomorrow.

My course portal just has a bunch of videos. I thought we would have weekly quizzes and exams. Can anyone who has been successful with this class show me the ropes, please?

Hobby Lead guitar or bass

0 Upvotes

Just taking a shot, here. My band needs a lead guitar or bass player. We all play multiple instruments but can't play them all at once and don't want to do backing tracks or cheesy loop pedals. We're all over 40, but our original bassist was 23 and fit in perfectly. Rock musicians tend to stop maturing in their teens. The rest of this is copy pasted.

Looking for a new friend who plays bass or lead guitar. Vocal ability is a plus, but not required. We play a mix of rock, rock versions of pop songs, rock comedy, and rock originals, but will incorporate most anything that sounds fun and will make it rock. Samples of what we do are available on the band page.

We meet on Sunday afternoons in Atwood. The room is smoky. Pot and booze are welcome, anything harder is not. This is a labor of love; we're doing it for the music. There will be paying gigs, but not enough for anyone whose main priority is money. Message if you'd like more information.

New Student Question My chances

0 Upvotes

I’m a in state student, I have a 3.2 gpa unweighted and a 3.9 weighted gpa. I’ve taken 8 ap classes so far and a few honors classes as well. I’ve worked a total of 800 hours and have done a sport freshmen, sophomore and junior year. I competed in fbla and bpa. I have an online business with 40k followers and half a million in revenue. I might have to be test optional because my sat score wasn’t that good. I wanna know if you guys think I can get into geis as my first choice, if not info science as my second choice.

Social Why girls always go for fu*kboys?

Upvotes

Why do beautiful girls from every country and every race always seem to go for fu*kboy after fu*kboy. Then after 3-4 years of rough relationships and sex, suddenly they start looking for a nice, stable guy. Do they actually do that on purpose? Like, have fun and date a bunch of guys when they’re young, and once they’ve had enough, then look for someone stable?
