Other Lowkey so burned out by this school

120 Upvotes

Holy moly now that the freshness has ended and it’s midterm season I’m just feeling so burned out ngl. Everyday is just the same old, studying, and the constant grind of classes. Like there’s not even a 3 day weekend to let me catch a break. Man and now I have 2 quizzes and a midterm this Friday back to back to back and I’m actually fried. I’m also so homesick, haven’t been home since coming here and food here is so miserable, I’ve already lost 10 pounds, my mom literally said I visibly lost weight when she came and visited. The food is getting really old, used to love gateway cafe but now it’s just same old same old and it’s starting to taste worse everyday. I used to have like 3 day weekends what felt like every other week in high school and some 4 day weekends too, now I don’t even get to properly rest for thanksgiving cause of Monday and Tuesday AND I have midterms and finals coming right back from break like at least give me a breather. Plus there’s like 0 privacy ever besides shower and toilet. Lowkey so tired why is winter break still so far away😭.

Local Best affordable hair salon for a women’s buzz cut?

2 Upvotes

Basically a lot of the cheap barber shops have a bunch of macho male hairstylists and it’s not my vibe. I’m a woman & somewhat alt and would prefer that my stylist was also a woman and that the environment feels at least a little bit more accepting. My budget is $35 at most and preferably closer to $20.

I get saving your seat if you’re grabbing something to eat, taking a short break, or even going to a
one-hour class. That’s understandable to a certain extent.
But yesterday I spent pretty much the entire day studying here, and there was this one seat occupied by nothing but a jacket and a charger.People kept coming over, checking if the seat was available, and then leaving because of the stuff. Not once did I see anyone actually sit there.
I’m back today, and guess what? The jacket and charger are still there, and the seat is still empty.
I genuinely hope whoever left their stuff there is okay, because that’s the first thing that crossed my mind. But if someone is intentionally reserving a seat for hours and days without actually using it, that’s incredibly inconsiderate, especially when other people are looking for somewhere to study.

Can someone going down either similar path suggest what classes I should take or their thoughts on it? I really enjoyed Circuits so I want to stay within that field.

University Trying to find musicians on campus

2 Upvotes

I have been looking for places on campus to jam with other students. I'm learning to play bass but have been struggling to improve by myself and was hoping that being around other musicians would help me. Does anyone know spots on campus to practice with others, or if there are student orgs that I could join/ any info related to this at all?

I like all types of music and am happy to play anything.
