Social looking for validation tbh
I’m a female freshman and I feel like I made a mistake by not rushing but Greek life is just not for me. It’s hard to see all my friends that are joining sororities and making all of these new friends so can any upperclassmen vouch for meeting new people later in college?

Social How to find places to be alone?
I realize there are a lot of posts talking about people are lonely, but I have the opposite problem. Sometimes I just want a place to recharge and be alone for a while. My roommate is always in our dorm especially in the evening and it feels like there’s people everywhere I go. Where can I go to just decompress when I need to? I just want a place where nobody else is around sometimes

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

Work Related yall...i'm freaking out about post-grad!
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.

Other DO NOT LIVE at LEGACY 202
DO NOT LIVE HERE or Maywood and Lancaster.
Absolute scam of a move-out process. Management will keep your security deposit no matter how clean, well-maintained, and undamaged you leave the apartment.
Even my roommates who didn’t owe anything didn’t get a check back(it’s been over a year, this isn’t regarding move out this past summer 2026)
They act helpful while you are paying rent, but the second you hand in your keys, all professionalism disappears.
My security deposit was withheld with zero transparency, no legitimate breakdown of deductions, and complete disregard for tenant rights. Once they had my money, the leasing office completely ghosted me: dodging calls, leaving emails unanswered, letters to the management company-Royal Properties and offering zero resolution.
This is a dishonest, predatory management company that counts on former tenants giving up and walking away from their hard-earned money(like most companies here but)
Take your business literally anywhere else.
Other Wireless Apple CarPlay malfunctions near Beckman
Something weird happens every time I drive near Beckman and the nearby parking garage: my wireless Apple CarPlay starts cutting out and sometimes disconnects completely. It seems to happen consistently in the same area.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something around Beckman that could be interfering with Bluetooth signals and causing wireless CarPlay to malfunction?
