Discussion In need of some advice

13 Upvotes

I am a fourth-year, and I am wondering if anyone has been in the same boat as I am in right now. Ever since school started, I have felt terrible and have been ruling out what it could be. In the process of doing so, I feel like I have begun to lose myself mentally and have started to want to avoid SB. I feel more at peace being away despite loving SB outdoors. I am done with my major in the Winter and only have one class left. I feel stuck on what to do, whether to move back home and commute for the one class, as I'm planning to take the rest of my classes online. Will I regret doing that? Or should I just continue to live here until March and just feel this feeling of misery and doom? I am struggling to be able to function every day when all I want is to be done and have this weight off my shoulders. SB has become a place where I just feel alone due to not having many friends or a support system here, how do people get by because every day is a struggle.

General Question Minoring in Statistical Science as a pre-bio major (aspiring microbiology major) for Pre-med

2 Upvotes

Hello, the title kinda says it all but I was wondering if anyone had done this with the biology major coursework, and if they have, how hard it is? I want to minor in stats because I hear it's a very wanted skillset to have when trying to get into research positions (which I hope to get during my grad years) or even for those who find that med isn't their cup of tea and choose a different career path. I took a lot of APs so a lot of my classes are covered such as Physics A-AL, Math 3A-B, and a lot of others that take out most of my GEs. Does anyone think it's worth it or should I stick to just my major and try to protect my GPA. Any advice would be of great help!

General Question To the girls who sing in the showers:

0 Upvotes

Can you stop? Just stop fishing for compliments or singing up a concert for an audience of yourself. It was amusing the first couple times now it’s annoying. No one wants to go into the bathroom to take a shit or a shower and listen to you sing about Jesus or some pop song. Save it for someone who wants to hear. The bathrooms echo too btw so we can hear down the hall. It’s a communal shower.

General Question Eduroam error

2 Upvotes

I experienced an issue logging in to eduroam. Does anyone know what is the department or their email(better!) is to contact with?

I have been directing through 2-3 different IT help on campus and none of them seems to able to read my log or provide any login information. And they don't have the access to look into it either.

I have currently been direct to departments No. 4 and 5. Please let me know which department can actually help me.

PS:

  1. IT desk will direct to student association which can't provide info.
  2. The actual IT help from information technology Ucsb page seems to be employee only so I cannot submit a ticket there.

Edit: I would like to find the department that can actually help me check the eduroam server record of me log in failure to debug this issue one step ahead.

Academic Life Classes for winter '27 quarter are now previewable in GOLD

40 Upvotes

It happens every fall. Pass 3 rolls around and I get a panicked email from a frosh or new transfer student realizing that they'd overlooked their first two registration windows and now they're scrambling because so many classes have filled.

Don't be that student. 

1) Classes for winter quarter are now previewable in GOLD. See the screenshot below.

It's time to start putting classes in your cart as you begin to map out your winter schedule. 

2) If you want to know when the earliest is for you to start actually adding classes to your winter quarter, go to the registration tab in Gold, select registration from the blue field, and then make sure you've selected winter quarter from the dropdown menu. Once you've done so, your pass times will populate on the right side of the screen. See the screenshot below. 

Questions: reach out to my colleagues in L&S Academic Advising and they'll be happy to chat with you.

-Dave
