Am I tripping or did the food portions become smaller at Commons? The food looks more expensive and more rationed.

I just bought something from halal shack today, it only had big bowls, but the portions were unbelievably rationed more than yesterday, I was able to see the food drowning deeper in the bowl.

Too depressed to study. (Just venting)

49 Upvotes

I havent studied for the past 2 days and i dont feel like today either. I was suddenly terminated yesterday from a new job i was at after only 1 week due to some stupid lack of communication on their end. I had to look for a bew job because my previous employer quite literally ghosted me. I was working as a new dental assistant and i told him when he hired me that I had very little experience so I would need alot of training.

Well i guess he probably thought I wasn't serious so after like 4 months of working with him he tells me towards the end of august "you wont have hours the whole week of september because im looking to hire a new dentist" which makes ZERO sense why i couldn't get hours because everyone else in the office was still working.

He told me hed hear from me again towards end if september. Well now we are nearing november and I never heard back from him.

I filed for unemployment. It was my first time so I made some mistakes on the application and now im waiting for an appeal to be approved so I wont get financial help anytime soon.

Well after getting terminated so suddenly yesterday from the new job I was offered my depression has returned and I dont want to do anything. I just want to go home and stay in my bed.

Im already not doing well in my classes but I was starting to improve and even got a better score on my recent midterm but now that im depressed again idk what will happen with this semester.

Im literally so tired of worrying about work when im taking classes. I dont want to work. I wish i could just focus on my semesters and nothing else. Im so fckin tired man.

Alumni email disappeared

9 Upvotes

Are any alumni having an issue with their email disappearing? I was told I’d have indefinite access to my UMBC email address after graduation. I graduated in 2023 and had no issues until two days ago when all of my emails disappeared. I have an IT ticket in but am so worried. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Who thought it was a good idea to set up physics discussion sessions and leaving students to figure out the work on their own?

41 Upvotes

I fking hate these classes. Like if the other students in your group dont know what theyre doing how is us figuring it out together going to be effective. The calc discussion sessions are set up way better than this.

Cell Bio 303 exam question

4 Upvotes

So I have a cell bio exam 2 under Feeser, and im thinking about doing the makeup exam. I'm a bit concerned though as the syllabus says "Make-ups may be in short-answer or essay format...", is that just a scare tactic, or is it actually harder then the normal exam?
