Discussion How do people meet the opposite gender at UMD?

• Upvotes

As a guy, how do other guys find girls to talk to? I would say I’m a social person. I’m in clubs, I make small talk, and I’m a average looking guy. But like I never seem to be able to find women around campus. What are some advice you guys would have of meeting the opposite gender around campus? I go out to the bars but I don’t have much luck there, I find it hard because everyone comes in groups so it’s hard to isolate conversations (especially when the music is blasting and it’s overcrowded). I’ve talked to people in my classes, but nothing is sticking. I live off campus so I rarely see anyone in the hallways or around my apartment in general. Im not in a frat, which makes it harder to connect with women. I’m stuck, any advice?

Academic I made an extension to make tracking grades in Canvas easier

16 Upvotes

I made CanvasGradesPro a while ago because I got tired of calculating my grades manually. Some of my courses didn't have assignment weights set up in Canvas, and others hid the overall grade entirely, so it was hard to tell where I stood.

The extension adds a few things to Canvas:

  • Shows your course grades directly on the dashboard, even when the total is hidden
  • Lets you customize assignment weights, drop rules, and grading scales
  • Calculates what you need on an assignment or final to reach a certain grade
  • Tracks your semester and cumulative GPA

If you run into any bugs or have suggestions, let me know!

Academic I am lowk getting destroyed in bobby 417

10 Upvotes

anyone got advice 😊. The projects are killing me quite a bit because of literally 0 test cases and (imo bad specs)? so it's kinda hard dealing with every edge case but its probably a skill issue on my part but i've gotten a 50% on my second project (5% of my grade) and probably failed my first exam.....................

I think I can probably make an academic comeback since I'm done recruiting, but this genuinely the first time i'm struggling in a cs course here

Help Having a hard time on campus

20 Upvotes

For context, I changed my major/ took a gap year because of health reasons which caused me to delay my degree. I’m 23 and I transferred like a year ago and ever since then I’ve honestly been counting the days until I graduate. Since most of my friends graduated already, I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone and make new friends but haven’t really had any luck. I’ve tried joining new clubs and it doesn’t seem like any one is open to making friends and is just there for obligation. I’ve tried talking to people in class and it’s very surface level interactions. It genuinely seems like anywhere I go people are unwelcoming or stand offish😭😭. It’s very alarming to me considering only a couple years ago when visiting my friends it seemed like people were much friendly and welcoming. I’ve literally been outright ignored or denied from activities here or given weird looks for just joining meetings. It’s honestly been making me really depressed and I’ve had to seek out counseling a couple times. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else is experiencing this but I’m finding it very difficult to enjoy my time here.

Academic Overcoming Post-Break Brain Fog

My brain is so fried right now, I genuinely can't think. I've practically forgotten how to do content from before break, and the content that I do know, I'm barely able to do it correctly or it takes me 30-years to retrace my steps and figure out what's going on.

Admissions Submitting ACT scores before EA deadline

• Upvotes

I am apply to UMD Early Action, and I requested my ACT score that I took months ago to be sent to UMD pretty recently, but I am worried if the university will get the score in time. UMD states on their website that "Standardized test scores can take several weeks to process and be received by our office."

However, they also say that "It may take up to 10 business days for recently submitted materials to be listed as received on your checklist."

Do any of yall know how UMD determines whether an ACT score is submitted on time? Is it when the ACT testing agency sends the score over, or when UMD finishes processing the score and links it to your application?
