also seared was out of everything except fries and fish nuggets for two whole days? what the fuck are we doing HFS

hi im 23, nonbinary/trans, and a grad student and wants to do more weightlifting. I’ve been working out inconsistently for a few years now so I know a bit but I’m still a beginner.

i’m looking for a gym buddy that would be down to go together ~3 times a week early in the morning. like around 7 or 8 am. open to any genders but queer people preferably.

I’ve been having a hard time making friends. I’m friends with a few girls in my cluster but they all have their own groups of friends they regularly go out with. I acknowledge I’m not putting that much effort into making friends because I’m trying to maintain my personal life and grades. If I had a decent group of friends, that would be great but then again idk.

The scheduler told me I was an eligible student covered by the SAF then apparently I actually wasn't according to some fine print and got billed. I called the front desk, and they said they could maybe waive it but then never got back to me. I also applied to financial aid which is the biggest hassle ever you need like 5 bajillion documents. Can I file a formal dispute of the charges? Go to the office of the Ombud? Has this happened to anyone else?

Any parties or fun get-togethers?

hi everyone, im planning my schedule for winter quarter and im really lost on what to do. im currently deciding wether to take ENV H 111 and have a pretty chopped schedule where i have class everyday with large blocks in between, or have a really good schedule where i have to take G H 101.

from everything i've seen, G H 101 is one of the worst classes at udub. could i please hear from people who have taken G H 101 and what you feel the best choice may be here? im just quite nervous about how bad it'll be especially since ill be taking chem 142 and i am really bad at math/sciences.

Like bro what are we doin

Does anyone have any feedback for the professors that are teaching MGMT 430 next quarter? Only Mana Heshmati is on RMP

It's Week 3 in O chem and I actually find this course so fun although it is a lot of work trying to understand the processes, but I didn't feel overwhelmed like Gen Chem. What are any of your thoughts for those who took O Chem or are taking it right now?

I was just happy about this course and wanted to hear some opinions and stories! <33

just a heads up

Anyone have a video of the lady getting pulled out of her car after she crashed?

Does anyone in MICROM 410 know if we can have a cheat sheet for the exam this week? Panicking. I checked the syllabus and there's no information of a yes or no

I went to a well-known flagship university for my undergraduate in accounting (not in Washington), and I am trying to move back to Seattle where I lived for a while.

I currently hate where I am with my career and would like to come back to Seattle, which is easier said than done.

I am aware that there are a lot of other things that I could do to get myself there, but I am very interested in pursuing a graduate degree and the University of Washington would be my top choice.

Has anyone actually done the master of finance program?

Hi guys, I'm currently an Anthropology major who's really interested in taking the ANTH versions of Sociolinguistics I & II, however I know that LING 200/400 are prerequisites for those classes. I was curious if anyone here has taken LING200 here and would mind telling me what the course load or course content was like, since I am trying to fit it in next quarter along with 3 classes that are more math and data science heavy. Thanks!

I just dropped a course, like a third of the way into the quarter. I did this due to lack of interest in the material, and also because I honestly wasn't doing well anyway.

Does the professor/instructor receive a notification that I did this? Or do they notice that I've disappeared from the roster, and stopped showing up to class, so they put two and two together?

Basically, I ghosted them. I'm too ashamed to admit that the class wasn't for me. I never e-mailed or talked to them about it. Do they view this as rude, or do they not care?

or is there a list of buildings with microwaves available for students? I don’t always have time to make it back to the ctc commons to heat up my food

anywhere near hitchcock hall would be especially useful rn

Hi, I’m gonna do either Math 207 or Amath 351 in winter, but I heard the syllabus in Math 207 is terrible right now. Any recommendations on which class should I take?

Are you stressed about your math midterms coming up? My friend and I were too, so we built a free study tool for UW math classes called UWMathFinder. It covers Math 120, 124, 125, 126, 207, 208 and 224, and it’s completely free with no sign-up.

Website: https://uwmathfinder.com
GitHub: https://github.com/Sigma-Works/UWMathFinder

Just to be clear, this is a passion project we built as students. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the University of Washington or the math department.

If you’re taking one of these math classes, here’s what you can do on it:

• Look through 361 past UW exams with answer keys, searchable by course, quarter or topic
• Practice individual exam questions one topic at a time (2,000+ of them)
• Generate a practice midterm or final from real past questions that follows your class’s current syllabus
• Get brand-new practice problems based on real exam questions, each with a step-by-step solution.

If you’re a CSE student looking for an open-source project to contribute to, we’d really appreciate the help. The site is plain HTML/CSS/JS, and the practice problem generators are written in Python. There’s plenty to work on: new features, UI improvements, more problem generators, adding missing exams, or better testing. The repo has a CONTRIBUTING md file to get you started, and you can open a pull request whenever.

If you have feedback or spot an error anywhere, email us at [uwmathfinder@gmail.com](mailto:uwmathfinder@gmail.com) or open a pull request on the GitHub.

Good luck on midterms!

(rant/question)

I want to clarify a little bit about myself before I type this. I am a chronic worrier, I worry about basically everything but I always am able to overcome it when the moment arises, I'm also extremely embarrased to post this but whatever. I am also extremely grateful for everything I have up to this point and extremely grateful to be at UW as a student in general. This rant is also a medium-sized summary of my situation and what is going on in my head, I have lots more to say to an advisor and/or counselor/therapist.

I'm a new transfer student this year (22yo) and majoring in Linguistics. The only linguistics related class I had taken previously was Linguistic Anthropology, which was what made me aware and interesting in Linguistics.

Now, I'm taking a phonetics class and a language class. My current path right now is loosely teaching english abroad, and I'm starting to think I misinterpreted my interests. I thought I'd be interested in everything linguistics...but this first class already makes coming to campus and do any work/studying tedious. I know it's only a few weeks into the quarter but I worry if it's because I don't like this specific class, or maybe I don't like Linguistics in general.

Part of why I question this is because back in community college, I took another anthropology class which I enjoyed, followed by a creative writing class that I enjoyed even more. I found myself incorportating things I learned in both anthropology classes into my writing.

When I applied to transfer, I chose linguistics because it felt safer? a more realistic option compared to Creative Writing that wouldn't sound as risky for my career choices to family, friends, and myself. At this point, I had already felt like I was inside a hydraulic press. My life choices being pressed down on me and my impending regret being the platform I was being squished into.

I felt behind in life, compared to friends who'd already graduated, and I was 2 years into community college with no real confidence in what I wanted to commit my career path towards.

I might feel differently about this after I get more bearings, but on top of my worry about interests, I worry that if I jump ship I might not even enjoy creative writing, or I commit to far into Linguistics that I can't turn back.

If you were to ask me what my dream was when I was younger, I'd have no answer. Ask me now, I think it would be super cool to be a writer. I hate that I'm realizing this now instead of five years ago and maybe I'll start doubting this decision too.

Now I feel like I've commited to Linguistics, with only two years left. I wonder if I might not even have the option to try switching my major, minoring in creative writing, or even being able to take electives in creative writing. It's a major with neither prerequisites I don't have nor a fully completed set of poems and story to apply with.

I know I could've and should've explored this stuff in community college, but there were no linguistics classes to take to tell me I might not truly like this...and I only took Creative Writing in my final quarter of community college.

I'm sure there has been plenty of posts like this and I apologize if this isn't something to post about...but all I'm asking is if anybody's been in this situation before and got out of it. I've seen posts from years ago but never any follow up. Is this something I can plausibly bring to an advisor or should I see a counselor/therapist first? Are there other resources that can help with this situation?

TL;DR: New transfer student who might've chosen the wrong major cuz it felt like a safer choice. Can I change my decision or should I try and get therapy to cope with my life now.

I’m starting a student hourly job with UW Dining at Center Table (CT), and my official start date is tomorrow. I‘ve finished the info session. However, I still haven’t received any information about my work schedule or what I’m supposed to do on my first day.
I don’t know what time I’m supposed to show up at CT, where exactly I should go when I get there, or who I’m supposed to ask for when I arrive.
I’ve already tried contacting my manager, HFS HR, HFS Jobs, and UW Dining, but I haven’t gotten a response from anyone. At this point, my start date is literally tomorrow, and I have no idea what I’m supposed to do.
For anyone who currently works at CT or has worked for UW Dining/HFS before:
Is this normal for student employees?
Should I just show up at CT tomorrow and try to find someone?
If so, where should I go and who should I ask for?
Is there anyone else I can contact to get this information before tomorrow?
I’m honestly really frustrated because I want to show up and do my job, but I haven’t been given the information I need to do that.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
