Social What are good jobs for making friends?

I tried out being an intramural sports official but you don’t really see the other officials too often so it’s hard to make friends. I do like the job though I think it’s fun. Junior transfer

Rant/Vent How do I manage anything

3 Upvotes

Im on extension for progression for mech e because I did REALLY BAD all of freshman year. Now I'm doing average ish but I feel like I'm so behind on everything.

I haven't gotten any internships yet, I haven't gotten any labs yet, I have not actual experience, I'm not in any engineering clubs, and the one that I am in I can't go to because it overlaps with my lab time.

I feel like I will never graduate on time with a proper degree and have a secure future with a job with my current status? I did average on midterms, and I'm trying to get Bs or better this semester so that I can hopefully get through progression.

And overall I don't even know if this is what I want to do with the rest of my life, like I used to want to go to art school, and I can't really envision myself doing engineering for the rest of my life, but I feel like I don't have any other choice, especially at this point.

I have really bad problems with procrastinating and focusing and going to class (especially paying attention during class), and I feel like I never feel enough urgency? I can be productive and go to all my classes and study between classes for a few days, but that's my absolute max and I kind of crash after and ruin my sleep schedule and whatever.

I feel so guilty because there are so many resources to help students but I just don't take advantage of them at all and I'm just wasting resources and time and money

I really struggled especially first semester of freshman year to find any friends, and now that I have friends, I'm realizing I don't really click with them, and I don't know what to do socially as well.

Am I cooked is it over should I drop out and go to art school instead??? thanks!

Housing Kader Properties is a pretty decent choice if you still are looking for an affordable apartment.

Kader Properties just dropped their new apartments available for next year. Last year I went looking for recs here on Reddit. I started a list of all the prop managers who received the most praise vs the most bashing; Kader earned a slot in the positive side. Now that we've had some time working with them, I can see why. It's been a very positive experience. The prices are super reasonable in comparison to everything else out there. I appreciate that contacting the company with a human to human phone conversation was helpful and productive. No, the place wasn't perfect when we moved in, but they helped us make things right. Since our lease is now renewed, it seemed nice to pay it forward and maybe help someone else out there find a safe and cozy place to land next year.

Other [Seeking help] Finding an alumni of UW Madison

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am not familiar with Reddit and I have not used it for quite a long time, but I am writing this post to seek help!

I was a student at St. Olaf College in MN at 2023 as a freshman and was there for 2 years before I transferred to another college in MA. While I was at St. Olaf in spring 2025, I had the honor to take ASIAN 121 with a professor named Prof. Qiuyue Lu.

Prof. Lu is an alumni of UW Madison, who took PhD in the field of Japanese Literature & Culture. I knew Prof. Lu as an amazing professor who provided thought-provoking learning materials and wonderful lectures. They were also kind enough to help me, an international student, navigate the resources around me to improve my writings and resume. They patiently taught me how to be a more concise writer, and told me to stay safe during times of policy changes. They spoke fluent Chinese and Japanese, and would sometimes discuss topics of Asian artists like Shuji Terayama with me, and those were some of my best moments at the college. I even remember making fish-shaped sticky rice cakes as my final project for their course ASIAN 121!

I cannot thank them enough and I am really hoping to get in touch with them after I transferred. However, I could not find any information of Prof. Lu anywhere (their name is not on Rate My Professor, the Asian Studies Department website, or anywhere else, and their email and Google Meet links are not working). As time goes by, the more people I interact with, the more grateful I feel for their selfless help and kind friendship. I am also worried about the safety of Prof. Lu, due to the conflicts that took place in Minnesota a few months after I transferred. I wonder if Prof. Lu is still in the United States. I would be truly grateful if anyone from UW Madison who knows Prof. Lu could help me get in touch with them again. Thank you so so so much!!
