It’s been over a year now and I just don’t feel like a Gator. I mean, I’ve been to games and events and all the stuff that’s supposed to make you feel at home here and it just doesn’t do anything for me. I feel like there’s like a wall between me and everyone else here. I’ve made a handful of friends, but the connections are all extremely surface level and I'm generally wildly unhappy with my social life. 

I don’t get excited about football games, I don’t care when we win or lose, I hardly own any Gator merch because I just don’t really feel connected to it. I internally cringe whenever someone Gator chomps at me, I can’t stand Tom Petty, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve said Go Gators. UF to me feels like a big jigsaw puzzle, and I’m a piece from a different box, if that makes sense.

I think it probably has something to do with the fact that UF was my backup school. I just straight up didn’t want to come here. But I ended up without another option. I know there’s nothing I can do about that. But maybe that’s why I don’t want to really indulge in Gator culture, because in my heart I know I don’t want to admit to myself that I’m a Gator and there’s nothing I can do about that? 

It’s a really strange state that I’m in right now and I don’t know if I really explained it right, but has anyone else felt this way at all?

Thinking of taking next semester as a Data Science major elective, but I also want to genuinely get something meaningful/useful from the class, so I'm not just looking for an easy A. Did you feel like it was interesting/valuable, or any other insights?

I faked some physician's notes to get out of a test and the teacher ran them through an AI checker and they came back as AI. The notes said I was sick, which I was, I just simply do not have health insurance to go to a doctor. Now I'm getting an academic violation in the course and that may destroy my chances of getting into an engineering program as I am an internal applicant. What should I do?

I need one more graduate elective and am looking for the easiest one

EGN6640/EGN4641 - Entrepreneurship for Engineers (Lawrence Tinker)

EGS6037 - Managing Engineering with Integrity (Rachel Frazier)

EGS6101/EGS4100 - Divergent Thinking (Joel Parker)

EGS6626 - Fundamentals of Engineering Project Management (William Davis/Mark Hoover)

EGS6629 - Agile Project Management for Engineers and Scientists (William Davis)

I had a post about my schedule earlier today, and this guy just showed up in my DMs offering me car rides.

Then he either blocked me or something happened to his account, but I can’t see his profile anymore after he found out I’m also a guy.

Kinda just the title. I study best when the room I'm in is kinda dark. Everywhere I go there's just bright lights and it's so difficult for me to focus when it's super bright. Preferably like the bottom floor of some academic hall where there's not a lot of windows. Sounds depressing but I know but if you have any places please lmk. Looking for something that's close to the light level of this picture.

Hey guys! I wanted to come on here and ask if anyone at UF / close by UF fingerboards. I came to UF (currently a freshman) wanting to find anyone who fingerboarded (basically tech decks, but more "serious") and have had no luck yet. Haven't seen any clubs or anything locally relating to fingerboarding as well.

So, I thought of asking here (despite some embarrassment). If anyone fingerboards / is interested in it and is interested in the possibility of being friends, please don't hesitate to send me a DM :) (Or if you want to get into the hobby, you can use one of mine). You can also respond here if you'd like.

Side note: I'm also into stationary, some light gaming, anything techy, jazz, etc. Welcome to send me a DM (even if it's unrelated). :3

Is anyone else going to warped tour next month? None of my gnv friends are into rock/ alt music so im doing both days solo :/

If anyone else is going solo, id love to meet up!

(Never been to one of these events before) My last class of the day ends at 2:45pm and I’m just wondering if it would be worth it to head over to University Auditorium at about 5pm and get in line for the Matthew Lillard event tomorrow. If I want a spot should I get there asap, like 3pm? Or would it be safe to arrive closer to 5pm?

I’ve never been to one of these special events, so I have no clue how crowded they get

I totally messed up my GPA this semester but I don't want to totally back track on everything so i might as well get those 18 credits outside of my major thing out of the way while also bring my GPA back up. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!!

It's literally day 1 of early reg and there are 0 seats... Hopefully I can snag a spot before drop add 😭

hello im not sure if this is the right place to do this but i bought a macdintons 21+ ticket pretty early when it was cheaper. i think it’s now $30 but i’m willing to give mine for $15. dm me if interested! happy halloween yall!!!!

I have a tooth cracked that Ive ignored for the past year. However the crack has gotten considerably worse and feels like the tooth has chipped in other places as well. While it doesn’t hurt I know I can’t put it off any longer.

Where should I go to get a dentist appointment. I’d prefer something not too costly and close to campus as I lack a vehicle

I'm currently a freshman majoring in Finance and want to study abroad over the summer. I've been looking at two study abroad options, Japan and Korea. They both appeal to me because they have some sort of "internship" aspect and don't take up the whole summer. I'm interested in consulting right now but not dead set, and Japan has a business consulting case (but it's not an internship), while Korea has a guaranteed finance internship (but it's not consulting, just finance in general). For people who have gone to these study abroad programs, how was your experience? Which one would you guys recommend?

Can someone explain this? Is this the ALEKS exam? Or is this like a pre-ALEKS exam? Also, any prep ideas? I really want to take MAC1147 bc the professor is better. I've always done good in math but I haven't taken it for a couple years. I'm not scared of hard work!

Hi! I am looking at apartments close to campus and I looked at both midtown apartments and college park at midtown. College park at midtown is cheaper but I have seen worse reviews. Anyone have any insight into either apartments?

Hi! My registration date is super incredibly late - November 12th at 2:00 pm. I am a freshman but my other freshman friends have theirs today. How likely is it that I get the classes I need...

Karim Asghari or Jo Marie Bacusmo?
I’ve heard both are easy and not sure who to take. Thanks!

Hey all! I am thinking of applying to the ABSN program at UF but heard there was a restructuring of the program. Anyone currently in the program that could give feedback or let me know what a typical week looks like?

I have heard people discourage working during the program, anyone able to provide any insight? Im applying to scholarships but may need to work for supplemental income so any tips and tricks will help!

I'm a chemistry major and will be taking Orgo 2 in the spring (likely CHM2213 for majors since I'm in that section now and am surviving). I know that there is a lab for majors as well, but I'm not sure what the differences are between the two labs. Does anyone have any experience with either or any recommendations on which to take and not to take?

Any recommendations for cs 4000 electives? Taking linear algebra and COP4020 so looking for something that is not too difficult or time consuming if possible Bonus pints if you have take it 100% Online

I thought exam 2 was suppose to be the “easiest” out of the three exams, holy shit that exam was hard. Dare I say harder than exam 1. People that are retaking the course are saying that Banko made it harder and that it was worse than exam 1. If you’re a finance major, I am so sorry

Did we just get unlucky this semester?

ucf cals biology transfer here, and i feel like im lowk watching everyone’s admission results and knowing my fate is not good…. have any CALS transfers heard their decision yet?

Hiii the campus cat club will have a sticker making social tomorrow 10/28 @ 5-6 pm at Plaza of Americas! We'll be bringing paper and art supplies, and you can design cat stickers or any other stickers and we'll print them out for you!
