Discussion Lincoln Creek: The Parking Experience

Post image
58 Upvotes

I'm so done with this ridiculous, gravelly, pot-hole filled deathtrap. Just last week I punctured a 3-day old tire going about 4mph in this stupid lot. And now I was given a citation for parking along a barely-visible yellow line since another car was parked there and I assumed because I COULDN'T SEE THE YELLOW that it was a parking spot, only for the bastard to drive away, leaving me looking like a massive dickhead.

How can they possibly create such a horrendous, vehicle-obliterating gravel hellscape and then ticketing students for not parking along lines they can barely see? How are they not embarrassed leaving the parking lot like this and not maintaining or fixing it? Is it greed or sadism? I genuinely don't understand. There's got to be a way to get them to fix this fucking pebble-purgatory.

Discussion Students watch those fees

Post image
80 Upvotes

Student fees can be used for many good projects, but sometimes the process can involve the administration choosing projects that use large portions of these fees. These bike counters were installed over the summer with $100k of your sustainable campus fees. Right now, the portion of Tech fees that would be used for Tech Initiative Proposals ($165k) may be swept to just pay for wifi routers, with no other proposals to be considered. Get involved, and ask questions of your administration, and make sure these funds are used for your priorities.

Paying for school

• Upvotes

Just got accepted into WWU as an out of state transfer applicant. I would need roughly 3 years to finish my degree, but my family is super worried about cost. Just wondering if anyone has experience using a post 9/11 gi bill to pay for school or if anyone knows how much that might cover? For xtra context I get about 12k a year in Pell grants, and I qualify for the Fry scholarship. Should I contact Financial Aid office w these questions or am I supposed to kinda just figure this out? Any feedback would be appreciated!!!!

I HATE walking past this building cause whatever's going on on the lower floors can be smelled from outside the building and it smells like FART and I KNOW the people around me have thought it was me at some point.

That's all.

Love the makerspace though!! You guys are awesome o7

Discussion Interviews

Having difficulties looking for people to interview. Whenever I do stories and have to interview people. I feel awkward walking up to people and asking them if they’d be interested. Especially when people seem locked in on their work.

Used dnd books?

5 Upvotes

Im starting to get back in to dnd with a few friends but i dont have any of my old dnd books. Does anyone know where I could find some used dnd books? Specifically the players handbook (could be 2014 or 2024). I checked with some game stores in town and they didn't have any used. If anyone has some they'd be willing to sell I would be more than happy to buy them off you

i need friends </3

24 Upvotes

Hi

im a freshman and i guess the weeks have been passing by quick bc it feels like everyone has already found their friend group besides me

im lowkey embarrassed to be asking for friends on reddit but i am super shy so just going up to someone irl and asking to be friends feels super scary especially since it feels like we’re past the first week or so when everyone was doing that

i tried going to a few clubs already but it didn’t really go anywhere because The Anxiety started talking to me like the green goblin mask and i ended up saying nothing or just not furthering the conversation past exchanging names

pls dm if interested i like movies and music and food and cute animals and all sorts of things :D

Please sign our petition.

Bellingham has passed resolutions and put up signs, but none of it is law. Tell the City Council to make it law: no civil detention facilities, no immigration enforcement on city property. Make Our City a Safe Place by Law, Not Just Resolution

This is kinda lame lol. What’s peoples experience with dating at wwu? I’ve been single for a while and was thinking about maybe getting on an app. Is it mostly just hookup culture or are people actually looking for a relationship? I’m too antisocial to meet some one irl lol.

Question How would I go about finding a shirt I lost?

9 Upvotes

So I’m pretty sure that when I ran my first load of laundry here I left one of my t-shirts behind. It’s been a couple weeks now so I’m not hopeful it can still be found but I’m wondering if there’s anything I can do to try to locate it? I considered leaving a note in the laundry room but then thought that probably wouldn’t be allowed, and I don’t know what else there is that I can do. Is there like a lost and found or something?
