Social Cute Guy in my Class

14 Upvotes

There’s a guy in one of my classes that I think is super cute but I don’t know how to approach him AT ALL. It’s a relatively small class and most of the course work is through small group projects but people tend to stick with the same group they had before so we’ve never interacted. I don’t think we’ve even made eye contact.

Genuinely how do I approach this situation. Should I try and sit next to him? Ask for a pencil even though none of our class work requires one? Compliment a jacket he wears? I don’t wanna be awkward but idk how not to be.

I’d honestly be fine not saying something but at the same time I think I might be mad at myself if I go the entire semester without talking to him at least once. HELP

Health / Wellness I need help

6 Upvotes

Last weekend I was forced to get ambulanced by the cops to the ER for alcohol intox because i was stumbling. I do NOT want to tell my parents because i will get disowned. what should i do. dont lecture me because TRUST ME ive already learned my lesson. i dont have student health insurance but i am considering purchasing it if you think it could cover this even after it occurred. i do not have my parents insurance on my health file and am honestly planning on paying this self-pay. how much do you think this bill could come out to if i call up the hospitals billing department and ask for a discount (or will they js laugh in my face). also in the hospital they did not give me any iv drips or testing i literally just slept there and left early in the morning.

once again i do not need a lecture i have 100% learned my lesson and am just looking for guidance

Degree Econ vs Polisci vs Business Minor for Engineering Major

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm a freshman looking to major in electrical engineering, and I was also considering doing a minor. I'm pretty interested in econ, polisci, and business, so I was looking to see if anyone had any experience doing a minor in any of these along with an engineering degree and how that went. I think I'm most interested in polisci (I have like zero experience with it though), but I'm pretty open to all 3.

Miscellaneous How to stay in Ann Arbor during the summer?

• Upvotes

Hi!!

I'm a freshman and plan on staying in Ann Arbor during the summer since I don't really have anywhere else to go. But was wondering if I could get some advice on the different opportunities to stay in Ann Arbor? I'm interested in doing some things sublet, summer class, travel abroad, research..etc...but a bit overwhelmed with all the options and whether they are realistic or not. I'm a bit loss and just want to see what other people did over the summer. Thank you for any and all advice I hope to get.

Flexible on timing, experience level, etc.

PSA The Harlan Hatcher Reading Room...

68 Upvotes

Is a quiet area you guys. I go there because it's supposed to be quiet. Obviously there will be some noise from shuffling, coughing, etc...But I can't believe I had to leave an get a study corral because one guy was humming and talking to himself, two couples on either side of me were giggling, flirting, and goofing off loudly. There was a group at the other end of the table talking and gossiping. I don't feel like I should have to put in headphones when I'm in a designated quiet area.
There are communal spaces all over both libraries. Go there.
This was really frustrating today, I'm trying to put the finishing touches on a paper I have due tomorrow and study for a test next week :(

Class STATS 250 tips or alternatives for transfer credits?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently taking STATS 250 and its going HORRIBLE and I dont even know if Im going to pass the class, I was behind on 2 lectures cause I had to work on other classes in september and when I caught up it was already the first exam which I botched so hard. I think I might fail but is it possible to retake STATS 250 in the winter or find an alternate class in Michigan or online courses? I dont have a car so I cant commute too far for in person alternatives. I also need to take this or an equivalent class cause its a requirement to stay in my major. I've tried out office hours and IDK it just doesn't help my pea brain understand a few concepts.

Has anyone taken this class with Jay and remember how his exam was? He grades using gradecraft so I’m not necessarily overworried about it since there is so many other opportunities to get an A but would still like to do quite well on the midterm regardless.

1 Upvotes

I’m in chem 261 right now with prof zimmerman and im trying to study for my upcoming exam but I’m genuinely so confused on what to study. I feel confused on what to even study because the things talked about in lecture are more in depth than what I’ve been told is expected for the exam. I’ve asked my gsi and study group coordinator what to study but I keep getting different answers from each of them. Can anyone who took the exam from Zimmerman before, let me know what worked for you?

Thanks!

Class psych 112

hi, im a freshman at michigan and taking psych 112. im in ross and was told to take easy electives to keep my GPA up bc ross classes can bring it down, so i took this psych class to be an easy A bc i saw the atlas grade distributions. but, i got an average of 5-5.5 on the past two quizzes and dont know what to do or how much this matters. on rate my professor i saw people saying they did poorly on the quizzes but he gives EC so you can still get an A. he hasnt even mentioned any EC yet and we're almost halfway through the semester soo if anyone has taken this class before please lmk what you think or share your experience

Hiiiii! I’m a junior 20F looking for some new connections. I’ve had a hard time making friends here and while I have made more casual friends, and acquaintances, nothing really stuck.

I love thrifting, live music, drawing in my sketchbook, cooking and baking, being outside & hiking and anime. Also playing every daily game the light touches. I’m majoring in UX design and minoring in computer science and Art & design. Message me if you want to go to a coffee shop or window shop in downtown Ann Arbor with me!

I'm a transfer student who started this fall, and I enjoy science. I am not pre-health; I want to work in research and development for a food company. That said, as ideal as a chem major would be, I am terrible at math and scared to take calc here. I don't mind taking Calc 1 since I'm somewhat familiar, but the thought of Calc 2 terrifies me.

Again, I would prefer to be a chem major over a bio major, but is it worth it? I would love to hear from any chem majors <3

Does anyone know affordable ways to take non degree courses here or how to fund a second bachelor’s?

Thanks!
