Social How to find a uni friend group

15 Upvotes

I need a friend group. I’m in my second year and I spend my days alone. I know that others have a select group of people that they can go on campus with. I would love to have that but I go everywhere by myself. It seems like everyone’s already found their groups and there’s nowhere for me to fit in. How could I develop close friendships if everyone’s always found their people? I do have some friends but they’re all individual friends and they’re not the type to go out. What’s worse is that I do have roommates but we barely even talk or banter. I know someone who is best friends with ALL of their roommates and I can’t imagine the fun they must be having. I want to have fun and make those memories. Silly memories sweet memories everything in between. I mean, there’s no one really I can like hit up on a random Tuesday and just hang out. At the same time, I want those deep bonds and a support system to fall back on. I want to make the best of my youth but I feel like I’m just wasting it and time is running out. I’m wondering if anyone else is feeling the same way. Pls lmk how can I find myself one of those quintessential university friend groups that actually does stuff together lol

Discussion Is going to office hours worth it?

4 Upvotes

I know that everyone says that it’s important to ask for help and attend office hours to have more one on one time with your prof but lowkey it feels time consuming. Like there is always a huge line of people when I go and it takes time for the prof to get through everyone. I feel like I can just find the answer to my questions by watching a video or going online instead of having to wait all this time.

Other it's so fucking over

30 Upvotes

I know this subreddit has seen a million mental health rants but my next therapy appointment is in a few weeks and i have nobody else to talk to so here we are. I'm in my 3rd year and honestly I dont think I can do this anymore. I have no life outside of school cause I have one close friend who doesn't even go to mac and I can't rely on my gpa anymore cause I've been fucking things up all year. I have no job and my parents pay for everything for me so I can't even drop out and pay them back because where the hell am I getting over 35k from. I'm tired and so fucking over everything but I can't do anything about it so I'm just stuck in an endless loop of losing my mind right when I think I'm getting better and at this rate I won't even be able to finish this semester. I don't even know if I'm writing this post cause I need advice or someone to tell me to suck it up or what but I'm sick of keeping all this shit in my head

Dr. Balas quizzes are insane. 1 hour is not enough time, this quiz was slightly easier than the last but could not get through it in an hour. He also picked the silliest things to ask, left out everything that actually felt useful and important to study other than bayes theorem. Terrified for the midterm. Does it get better 🫩

Academics MSAF Type B Science

2 Upvotes

I've used 2 MSAF type B's before for small assignments (10-20%, diff terms, last school year). I've submitted them due to severe sickness that always comes around during this time of year and I haven't been asked for documentation for the two that I have used.

Does anybody know if this level of leniency decreases the more MSAF Type B's you submit total? Or is it only in regards to how many you submit per term and I likely won't be asked for documentation this term as well? This is a 35% midterm as well so I'm not too sure. I don't want to go pay 50+ bucks for a doctors note from my family doctor for the 3rd time just for them to not even ask for one.
