Okay, I'm 28M and this past semester I didn't have a single actual conversation. My classes had like 15% attendance, I tried club fair and going to clubs, I've tried making and responding to posts, I've tried going to various lounges and trying to appear approachable, I've tried the vet center, I've tried CAPS. Everyone has headphones on, looks busy, young, or already in some established group. I haven't had a human being to speak to in person for years. I don't know if I can go another summer like this.

What is there SPECIFICALLY (plz don't just say 'join a club' or 'have a hobby') in pullman or at WSU this summer, where there is a chance to meet a human being or be seen in any way? I'm willing to try all sorts of random stuff, although bars really aren't my vibe (and I just sat alone drinking the times I have tried). I'm crippling lonely.

NOT IN PULLMAN I WILL NOT SAY WHICH CITY AS I DO NOT WANT TO DOX MYSELF.

Yesterday, I 19f was walking on a sidewalk with a friend, I had a can of beer in my hand and the police approached me and stopped me.

They asked me for my ID I said that I do not have any and tried to walk away saying "Ok, I will just go". the cop told me I am not free to leave and handcuffed me behind my back. She sat me down on the curb and asked me for my name and DOB while I was giving my name (before I gave middle or last) I slipped a cuff and tried to run away. The cops grabbed me in seconds and reapplied the cuffs.

I was taken to the police department and spent the the night there. They also took a mugshot and scanned my fingerprints. I was NOT taken to jail just to the police department.

So what can I expect FROM THE UNIVERSITY? My charges are:

Minor in Possession (RCW 66.44.270.3A)

Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer (RCW 9A.76.020)

Obviously a throw away account because my main account has some identifiable info.

I've been taking courses for three semesters from a teacher in the CS dept. He consistently receives very low course ratings from dozens of students. However, he returns every semester to continue teaching without any improvement or changes. This fella doesn't even reply to emails, has no office hours and is seemingly not interested in teaching at all.

Honest question, not throwing shade: can teachers even be fired once they are hired? Is there any accountability at all?

Hello! Has anyone ever lived at the Annex? I was wondering if you enjoy living there and if it's worth it? (and to ask how loud it is lol)

Thank you!

I just submitted my last final and am graduating this weekend and I’m so excited! Looking back I’m pretty proud of my accomplishments. I’ve met amazing people, accessed many different opportunities, and am graduating with honors for my major.

Going online and doomscrolling however was a bad idea for me and now I’m dealing with feelings of FOMO from the stuff I’ve missed out on. In high school I was very depressed (alongside other issues) and that kinda bled into my earlier years in college. I was slowly healing myself and while I’m proud of my journey so far, I wish I wasn’t such a shut-in when I got here in the beginning.

I started regaining self worth, taking care of myself, and bettering my mental health in the later half of my junior year. Since then things have been amazing and I’m proud to call myself a Coug and be a part of the community! Still I grieve that I hadn’t involved myself sooner and may have not had the typical college experience. I’ve never even been to a frat party!

This doesn’t take away from my overall accomplishments all experiences are different but FOMO sucks. To any future Cougs, don’t be afraid to leave your confort zone. Pullman is amazing place to meet new people and find opportunities. I can’t recommend enough the counceling center here (CAPS) who have helped me transition into enjoying being alive again.

Thank you WSU for everything, I’ve learned so many lessons here. Go Cougs!

During the hotel check-in scene, the receptionist calls out that Adam Scott's character was visiting from Pullman, WA. No direct WSU connection like Dakota Johnson's graduation in 50 shades, but close enough... GO COUGS!

Couldn't find anything in the director's biography that pointed to WSU; which one of you slipped this in? At this rate, we'll catch up to Harvard film references in ~10000 years.

Hi all,

I graduate from the Vancouver campus on Tuesday May 12th. I seem to have misplaced my bachelors yoke and I was wondering if anyone from the other campus’s (maybe tri-cities as it’s closest to Vancouver) would let me buy their yoke off of them since everyone has graduated BUT Vancouver campus!! Or if you know how I can get one in.. 2 days let me know. lol. I know this is a long shot but..

I feel like a completely different person since I've move in. I've had more character development in the last year than all 4 years of high school. I was skeptical if I was going to like it but it went pretty well

I have a friend going to WSU in the fall who is looking for a roommate to live off campus with for at least the first semester. She's 22f from Mexico City, fluent in both English and Spanish. She's looking for other girl roommates, but we both don't know anyone currently @ WSU. She's been at community college these past two years and is hoping to just focus on her studies this year. Super relaxed, as she is on a STEM track, so she'll be very busy throughout the semester. PM me if you or anyone you know might be interested!

I doubted myself at first if ever I could get in because I know my interview didn't go well. But God is in control, and this is the path He has prepared for me! I am beyond grateful for this! 🙏🏽

A little bit of history, I got my first bachelor's degree in the Philippines almost 2 decades ago. WSU credited my degree as equivalent to their UCORE, so all I need to do is do a few classes for my prerequisites. I took the TEAS 3 times. They only need 70%, and I got 76% on my third try. I had 3.6 GPA for my prerequisites and 2.6 in my first degree(I know, not great). I have been an HCA/CNA for almost 10 years. I think what got me in is they have a holistic approach to considering students who deserve to be admitted. I might not stand out in my interview, but I did great in the other criteria. Congratulations to all who got in and to those who are still waiting, don't give up! You got this! You'll get there when the time is right! 🙏🏽

Hi WSU members, I recently lost a black backpack that had a chemistry notebook and a MacBook Air 13inch. If anyone one can find it, please DM and I will give a 300 dollar cash reward. Thank you for your help. This is in Pullman campus

I have a 3.6 GPA and usually get mostly A's, a B, and a D. It looks like this semester I will have an F instead of a D, and maybe a C instead of a B. Will they rescind my acceptance? I'm concerned.

Hey everyone,

I haven’t studied math for the past two years (was living in India), and I’ve never been very good at it to begin with. I’m a bit worried about how difficult the ALEKS test will be for someone like me.

Is it manageable if I’m really rusty? Any tips or experiences would help a lot.

What are these fireworks for specifically that i can hear in town?
