Hi! If you’re taking grad photos and considering using non-eco friendly confetti, don’t!

I’m a graphic design major with experience in photoshop, and I’m offering a side-service to photoshop confetti into your images for free!!!

There is no reason why we should be harming our beautiful campus for the sake of a photo that can be very easily edited for a flawless result. Message me if interested! I’m very serious about this

This whole school is centered around sports, and there's no getting away from it. Not everyone is very sports minded. And there's zero seating in the library, student union, etc. so sometimes (a lot of times), I find myself on a beautiful day in the arboretum doing school work in peace. The arboretum, is basically the last place on campus that doesn't bring ''go sports >:)'' or brings money status into the conversation. As gatekept stuff implies. Yet, they want the arboretum as well. what.the.hell. Most of this campus is tailored for the greatest 10% of students that have status. So, ''lets raze the entire arboretum that is tailored for 100% of people, the only area that's actually inclusive >:)". So we can have another stadium, only a select few people will actually use because they're perfect in the minds of the school. Arboretum? What's that? I want another stadium to go for 2 years. Lets take out All Knight Study thinking an extra 2 hours at 1AM in the library is good enough for those that actually give a shit about their grades and studying that aren't 1000% sports-minded.

Good News! I had a chat with my professor, and when she said the 0 was for attention, they meant that it literally was there as a way to give me a little scare and set up a meeting. We had a good discussion about it, and she emphasized that it was a real paper, but the misspelling was a red flag for possible AI use, so she wanted to have a chat with me. Everything is resolved, and she's grading the paper normally. I also found out she is dropping two of the discussions that I missed (which is course policy, but the syllabus had me confused), so I'm no longer worried about graduating.

Little heart attack, and probably could've been an email, but I'm glad we could sit down and have a chat about it, and all is resolved.

Hey, I was wondering if I could go to Valencia and get my AS for respiratory care and also UCF for a BS in computer science at the same time(concurrently). If I do this I would be don’t with my AS a year before I graduate with my bachelors. I’ve been getting mixed answers so if anyone has some info that would be great.

For the people who have taken STA2023 in the past with Dr Amir, how was the final?

His first two exams where very easy, is the final very simillar to the first two study guides he provides for exams 1 and 2?

I'm so sick of this class. It's too late to drop it but it's not too late to stop letting it eat at my time and efforts.

I wish it didn't have such a bad connotation to talk about "giving up" on it compared to if i had mentioned withdrawing a few weeks sooner. I genuinely think it's worth considering now if there is still a plausible world where I pass it. Nobody's willing to entertain the hypothetical but I seriously think it should be asked.

I want to say that all semester I've felt behind in it, but I can't even say that because it has so few grades, nothing to practice and get direct feedback with, and no form of clear structure or online reference materials relating back to the lectures. I've never had anything to clearly take notes on. I've tried to just self-teach it with other resources but there's never any study guides to make sure what I learn matches what I need to use for the graded parts.

I've been looking into it. Literally anywhere else, and this class is a low-level breeze. An easy online gimme course. I'm furious with myself and with everything. It's genuinely starting to hurt my mental state when I think about it too much. It could have been so easy and quick, and instead this is where I'm stuck, and all for a class barely related to my major, with nothing before it and nothing following.

I want to give up on doing it here. I'm sure the professor is doing their best and it works for others, but literally any and every sort of structure I've ever succeeded through in other classes is absent here. I'm so done. I just cannot believe it's worth the effort to catch up at this point when half of that effort is a giant guessing game anymore, even when I try to ask about it. It makes me sad and angry all the time.

I want to give up on it. Take a C- or D or whatever middling "fail" grade, and just take it online over the summer, now with everything that it was lacking here.

I know it sounds bad on paper but I honestly see less and less reason I shouldn't now, but no one in my life wants me to go down that path without a fight. I'm so sick of fighting for this random graduation prereq.

I guess it sounds like my mind is already made up, but honestly I'm typing this because I still am not sure if it's right. There's only two grades left to save the class, barring any miracle bonus points. I need a C (and guess what, it's a plus minus class, so that's actually a 72), and to make that I'd need probably higher grades on the last two assignments than I've almost ever gotten on the rest of the course's analogous assignments before. Even when I really did try.

I guess I can try harder but how much can I do I wasn't doing already? And I don't have infinite time here. I mean how long till it takes a toll on my other classes? One of those two last assignments (this week.) is the same day as TWO other classes' exams. Three things on one day. Who do I prioritize now?

I'm having a hard time evaluating my real grade because the canvas isn't accurate. I'm having a hard time evaluating if the professor would honestly give me bonus pts now. I can't even figure the situation out properly let alone figure out what to do with it.

I'm so tired man. At what point do you stop and figure out how to figure out if it's still worth it.

And yes I've emailed my advisors. But I guess I was too polite to say to them what I am saying here. Do they answer honestly when you ask them if a class is legitimately a lost cause, even if it's not in the most literal mathematical sense? Who looks at a university employee and asks them "do I stop trying?"

I swear. Every time I walk across the boardwalk I feel like I'm seeing new batches of non-biodegradable confetti. The boardwalk is such a beautiful, tiny, fragile slice of green space that makes Florida so incredible and unique. Oh yeah, no, screw that. Lemme dump plastic all over it. Just use bio-degradable confetti, gang. It isn't that hard, or, better yet, take pictures somewhere else. There are plenty of spots to take good photos at, please leave the most fragile and beautiful part of campus alone.

I called about a week ago and the financial aid office said they would be releasing stuff around this time, has anybody heard/received anything?

My headphones just broke and I need headphones, does anyone know of a place on campus that sells earbuds/headphones?

I literally can’t find the page now, I know it’s on UCF student center but my page is filled with course evaluations now that won’t get off my screen.

Every school has that one thing where you know you have it better than everyone else. Whether it's a specific program, the campus, the food, the location, gameday, or just something about the student experience that no other Florida university can match. What's the thing you bring up when someone from UF or FSU tries to talk down on UCF?

Looking to take this class in summer bc I completed my statistics and was hoping to take mac2233, but they don't offer it, only in the fall. So this is my final resort. His rate my professors speaks volumes but it seems that my academic advisor keeps pushing to do it anyway... How bad would it be taking it in the summer? Is it doable? My options are:

a) suck it up and take it in summer

b) take mac2233 online somewhere else (if the school allows it)

honorable mention c) take it in the fall with chances of delaying admission in my major

I couldn’t find an option to change my major in student self service and there is no appointments available to schedule with my academic success coach.

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am a university student currently looking for a carpool arrangement with someone who regularly travels Monday through Friday from Apopka to Orlando, particularly toward the UCF area. I would greatly appreciate any information or assistance regarding carpooling options. Thank you in advance.
