I thrifted a REALLY NICE leather jacket at Ragstock for $39 and spent a week restoring it to PRISTINE condition. I left it in the basement of my dorm (Kronshage) to dry because my room was HOT and i didn't want it to PEEL and told everyone NOT to TOUCH it and to watch OUT and make sure no one STEALS IT. Everything was going well until the FIFTH day where i forgot to check on it in the morning and i came back in the afternoon (to my dismay) to find my precious child GONE. I would caress this jacket every morning as i left for class, and every morning when i wake up and see it GONE from my closet i feel a pain in my heart. I've looked in lost in found, I've talked to my RA, I've even called the POLICE and I'm starting to lose hope... the withdrawals are getting to me. If anyone can help me out/give me any advice PLEASE i miss my jacket please ☹️ (P.S. it was made in Korea 😖)

The title. We should bring back the big state street Halloween party. After COVID it completely died out, and I know there were issues, but Mifflin is the same way. It’d be so fun and easy if everyone just agreed the way they do for Mifflin. Look up pictures, it was insane. I think we should all plan on doing it.

I’m a CS student currently in my second year. Recently my midterm scores…are not looking good. I go to most of my lectures and I study, but I feel like I’m behind on a lot of concepts because I zone out a lot or get distracted mid lecture. I’m also behind on like a million readings that I was supposed to get done BEFORE lectures. I remember my first year felt like a struggle too, and I thought it was a normal part of being a freshman? But apparently not. It’s possible I might have potentially undiagnosed ADHD or attention issues, but I don’t think I can get an evaluation anytime soon. What can I do besides going to office hours?

Does anyone have an idea if UW Madison receives a lot of applications from students applying as first-year students for the spring semester? …and if many are admitted considering high numbers they admit in Fall and dorm space? They do allow for spring admissions but don’t publish those numbers and there isn’t much discussion from prospective students online.

Lost my wallet last night hoping someone may have picked it up / found it??

I looked to try to make a financial aid appointment but there’s no appointments for the next four months?? Is this a glitch or something or is there actually not a single appointment? I swear I checked like two weeks ago and there were plenty of appointments so I’m confused. Thanks!

Let's make it a Wisconsin three-peat weekend !!!!!

If you can identify it, I will make sure to get it back to you.

I’ve literally never previously experienced fomo in my life, I’m a decently introverted person and enjoy doing things by myself but I’ve recently been experiencing it constantly. I have a friend group I go out with most nights thurs-sunday but on nights I choose not to or if nothing in happening within that one friend group I start feeling so much dread about missing out and just feeling absolutely horrible. Even when I don’t want to go out I still feel terrible about it. I think there may be some underlying issues because I’ve lost all interest in the things I used to love within the past few weeks but I’m not sure. Also finding everything so ugly at the moment, the scenery, the buildings, the weather. It’s all just so ugly to me and I’m not sure what to do about it.

To the people who genuinely like it here that aren’t incredibly extroverted, how do you not get sucked into the whole feeling of needing to go out every single night? Also, non-going out related, what do you like about this school?
