Question Dark and gloomy study areas?

Post image
21 Upvotes

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.

Social Struggling with my Gator identity?

21 Upvotes

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?

Grades BFI Exam 2 Was Brutal

9 Upvotes

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?

Other Looking for Fingerboarders to be friends with

7 Upvotes

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

Question Need to see a dentist

7 Upvotes

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

Classes CHM2213L vs. CHM2211L? (Orgo lab for majors vs. regular lab)

5 Upvotes

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?

Question STUDY ABROAD - Japan Summer B vs. Korea Summer A

3 Upvotes

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?

Classes psych majors please help

• Upvotes

for the biological basis requirement which is better CBH3003 Comparative Psychology with Nicole Dorey or PSB3340 Behavioral Neuroscience with Darragh Devine. I saw Darragh had very good reviews but was concerned the class will be too difficult when juggling it with other rigorous courses.

for an elective has anyone taken DEP4115 infant development with nan Zhang or SOP4842 Legal Psychology with Brian Cahill.

Any recommendations would help, thanks so much.

Question Any idea of turnout for Matthew Lillard event tomorrow?

2 Upvotes

(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
