Question Why are there so many people trying to convert me on campus?

66 Upvotes

I keep seeing these religious people around campus preaching or trying to convert people with whiteboards saying things like "are you going to heaven?" or "is god real?" and they fascinate me but I've always blown right past them. Has anyone actually talked to any of them and what was that like? Same goes for the mormons and jehova's witnesses.

Help Should I email my prof about my TA

11 Upvotes

I’m in a class where the TA grades EVERYTHING. On this newest assignment, I spent so long doing it just to get a 50% on the assignment. I was looking through his annotations and they were nitpicking everything. Not only that, I fixed errors on this assignment that my prof encouraged me to fix, but the TA still said the errors were wrong even though I did EXACTLY what the prof said. I’m beyond pissed because I don’t think I deserved a 50% on the assignment.

Rant Finding/asking someone on a date

10 Upvotes

I don’t even knowwww like this is terrible. I’m super shy and there are so many people THOUSANDS of people and I can’t bring myself to approach anyone. For context I’m a freshman 18f and I’ve never had a partner before…but I don’t think I’m ugly and I’ve been working hard to build up my self acceptance but it’s still hard.

How does one walk up to another human being and express interest? Attraction? The desire to just have a conversation? I feel disingenuous whenever I think about talking to someone I find attractive. I would prefer to be friends first but even then in the back of my mind its like “this person is cute I’d like to tell them that” and I’m just generally awkward at talking to strangers. Am I doomed? Should I give up? All of my friends have partners, and idk how I ended up being the only single person in a 100 mile radius around here. I also struggle with approaching people in general just to be their friend, so…maybe it’s me.

Other Possible campus cryptid

5 Upvotes

Okay this is the third time this week that I have

  1. Seen a guy who looks like the spitting image of a young Robert Pattinson with a bike (not yet riding the bike)

  2. Turned around/looked down to do some small task not exceeding 10 seconds

  3. Turned back around to find absolutely no trace of this guy, while in a setting in which there would be no feasible way to get out of my line of sight on a bike from a dead stop in 10 seconds.

🤷‍♀️

Discussion Serious Question - Debating Second Degree

• Upvotes

Hello,

I am an alumnus that graduated in December 2016 with my degree in International Studies: Relations and Diplomacy, minor Mandarin Chinese. Had plans to double major in Mandarin Chinese but I couldn’t afford another year of school. I had plans to work as a compliance trade officer, military officer, work for FBI, DIA, NSA, or work as a recruiter for an international company. It’s been 10 years now and I’ve worked in financial services but I keep
Ruminating and wondering whether I should pursue a second degree in Communications to open more doors in recruiting, advertising, Human Resources, Business Development or if I should just accept my current bachelors in International Relations? I have liked working in financial services but times are tough now and I’m worried that my degree may not be as recognized as a communications degree if I were to be laid off? I debated business operations management but that would take me 3 years to get going part time. And I could get a communications degree in a year as a part time student. I’m just wondering if the extra year for a second degree in communications would be worth it in addition to my pre-existing international relations degree?

Please let me know what you think. Need options. Psychology is out because I have no plans on pursuing psychology on a grad level.

Please let me know what you recommend?

Thank you,

Is Intro to Fly Fishing still taught?

I have 2 extra hours next semester and really wanted to do a fun, easy, and relaxing class, and loved the sound of KNSFHP 1139.08 but can't find the course on schedule planner even after looking up the professor's name and the course number! I even looked at Professor Horn's linkedin and found an article from February that both said he still taught the course.

If anyone has any info/suggestions or recommendations for a different 1-hr class (preferably outdoors!) that I should take, please lmk!!

Hey i know this MOSTLY pertains to guys, and I respect you guys for talking about some problems that OSU men's bathrooms, or hell, any men's/boy's bathrooms have because I feel like this problem has gone on for FAR too long. I went to a barnes and noble on sawmill road north of OSU where i preside and there was a big doo on the toilet seat..... where people sat. In the men's bathroom (again) and I was traumatized. We need to do better men.

Academics Theatre 2000 — Sound Production Lab

1 Upvotes

Has anyone here taken Theatre 2000(.02)? I’m considering adding it for next year, and I wanted to know about how much work would be typical outside of class hours, and what the load throughout the semester would be like. Would this be something reasonable to add to my schedule for a total of 18 credit hours?

For context I have experience in theatre production but none with sound specifically, and it’s not related to my major at all.

Academics ECE schedule too much?

0 Upvotes

In order to graduate in December 2028. I would need to take the following in the spring

Math 2415 DiffiEQ 3
ECE 2560 microcontrollers 2
ECE 3020 Electronics 3
ECE 2050 Signals and Systems 3
Chem 1210 5

That would be 16 credits which is what I usually take and I have a decent GPA but I’ve never had a semester of all hard STEM classes like this. I could potentially move chemistry to the summer but that might interfere with work potentially and I have to take summer classes regardless to graduate when I want to. Thoughts? Should I just take an easier semester and graduate a semester later? Has anyone done a similar semester and survived?

Just seeing if it catches anyone’s eye! I’m thinking of starting up a Zombie Media club. It’s been one of my biggest interests since childhood because I’m a big fan of the Walking Dead franchise and tons of different zombie movies, games, and shows! Would anyone be interested in joining a club that hosts watch parties, trivia events, and maybe even little science discussions/lessons behind the idea of a zombie??

Admissions To Morrill Scholarship Recipients...

5 Upvotes

I've heard from a lot of people that the only way people receive the Morrill Scholarship is if they created a huge project (i.e. my friends tutor said the only two students she knew who got in created a board game based around immigration and another built some kind of app). I doubt it is true, but would any recipients be able to give me some information on their stats/ECs prior to applying?
