  • I joined sh.itjustworks because of the fact that it’s powered by renewable energy and it’s bilingual with French and English. As someone who wants to stop climate change and someone who is learning French, it made the most sense for me to join this instance. I have no alts, but if I were to make one it would probably be on lemmy.world, blajah.zone, or dbzer0.





  • Someone I know almost didn’t graduate this semester because his advisor gave him all of his easy classes in the fall semester and made him take 18 credits of hard engineering classes this spring. My advisor didn’t allow me to request a time override despite them only having a conflict of one hour on one day. I need both of those classes to graduate and I couldn’t take the other section because it was during the same time of my other major class. Luckily, it was a blessing in disguise and I was able to take that class this summer at a community college which was way easier than taking it at my home institution


  • Create a schedule and adhere to it.

    Make friends, join clubs, and have fun.

    Attend your lectures. I found that even if I was doing work for another class or playing on my iPad, I still gained something from attending lectures.

    Go to office hours and build a relationship with your professors.

    Create a four year plan of all of your classes. Your advisor may not be a good one and can fuck you over.

    Take some summer classes at your local community college (check to make sure they transfer over).

    Don’t overly stress yourself out with grades. C’s get degrees (unless you’re trying to go to grad school or professional school, then you’re going to have to try harder than a C)



  • At my high school, we basically had no enforcement of the dress code except for one incident. For context, everyone wore hats, crop tops, shorts, and stuff kinda like Euphoria. Certain teachers and administrators would ask you to take off your hat, but I haven’t heard anyone get dress coded until senior year.

    My school had a small trend where the senior guys would wear crop tops which lasted a few days until we heard that they banned guys wearing crop tops to school and dress coded one of the guys wearing them. Keep in mind, the girls could and did wear crop tops and no one dress coded them. Kinda ironic considering that the majority of dress code enforcement is towards girls, but the only time someone got dress coded (to my knowledge) in my four years of high school, it was a guy.
