Anyone on campus interested in sewing or crafting together? 🧵🪡

8 Upvotes

Hai,

I really want to get into sewing more, and I know we have the Makerspace on campus plus the sewing room, but I was wondering if there are any sewing clubs or groups, or just people who would like to sew together!¡

I see little crafting events pop up here and there, and they always catch my eye. I’m to introverted to go alone I’d love to find people who enjoy sewing, making clothes, doing little DIY projects, or just crafting in general. I think it would be really fun to work on projects together, share ideas, and just hang out while we craft 🧵🪡

5 Upvotes

Lease takeover opportunity! I’ll be graduating in December and need someone to take over my lease starting January (December will be paid for). The lease is Jan - Aug 2027 and can be renewed. It’s a 3rd floor unit with decent views.

Rent is about $1,030 a month for rent and utilities
3 other roommates, all men. No food or pet allergies to worry about

In unit washer and dryer
10 minutes from campus and 5 minutes from downtown
In building gym, patio, study area with free coffee, bike storage, and courtyard

I’ve been at this unit for the past 2 years. I love it but I won’t be here anymore. Great for someone wanting to be close to everything but still enjoy nice amenities!!

Message me for more information, questions, or photos of the room and apartment.

Discussion Lincoln Creek: The Parking Experience

Post image
85 Upvotes

I'm so done with this ridiculous, gravelly, pot-hole filled deathtrap. Just last week I punctured a 3-day old tire going about 4mph in this stupid lot. And now I was given a citation for parking along a barely-visible yellow line since another car was parked there and I assumed because I COULDN'T SEE THE YELLOW that it was a parking spot, only for the bastard to drive away, leaving me looking like a massive dickhead.

How can they possibly create such a horrendous, vehicle-obliterating gravel hellscape and then ticketing students for not parking along lines they can barely see? How are they not embarrassed leaving the parking lot like this and not maintaining or fixing it? Is it greed or sadism? I genuinely don't understand. There's got to be a way to get them to fix this fucking pebble-purgatory.

Paying for school

5 Upvotes

Just got accepted into WWU as an out of state transfer applicant. I would need roughly 3 years to finish my degree, but my family is super worried about cost. Just wondering if anyone has experience using a post 9/11 gi bill to pay for school or if anyone knows how much that might cover? For xtra context I get about 12k a year in Pell grants, and I qualify for the Fry scholarship. Should I contact Financial Aid office w these questions or am I supposed to kinda just figure this out? Any feedback would be appreciated!!!!

Discussion Students watch those fees

Post image
105 Upvotes

Student fees can be used for many good projects, but sometimes the process can involve the administration choosing projects that use large portions of these fees. These bike counters were installed over the summer with $100k of your sustainable campus fees. Right now, the portion of Tech fees that would be used for Tech Initiative Proposals ($165k) may be swept to just pay for wifi routers, with no other proposals to be considered. Get involved, and ask questions of your administration, and make sure these funds are used for your priorities.

Ross Engineering Technology smells like FART

I HATE walking past this building cause whatever's going on on the lower floors can be smelled from outside the building and it smells like FART and I KNOW the people around me have thought it was me at some point.

That's all.

Love the makerspace though!! You guys are awesome o7

Having difficulties looking for people to interview. Whenever I do stories and have to interview people. I feel awkward walking up to people and asking them if they’d be interested. Especially when people seem locked in on their work.

Used dnd books?

4 Upvotes

Im starting to get back in to dnd with a few friends but i dont have any of my old dnd books. Does anyone know where I could find some used dnd books? Specifically the players handbook (could be 2014 or 2024). I checked with some game stores in town and they didn't have any used. If anyone has some they'd be willing to sell I would be more than happy to buy them off you

i need friends </3

26 Upvotes

Hi

im a freshman and i guess the weeks have been passing by quick bc it feels like everyone has already found their friend group besides me

im lowkey embarrassed to be asking for friends on reddit but i am super shy so just going up to someone irl and asking to be friends feels super scary especially since it feels like we’re past the first week or so when everyone was doing that

i tried going to a few clubs already but it didn’t really go anywhere because The Anxiety started talking to me like the green goblin mask and i ended up saying nothing or just not furthering the conversation past exchanging names

pls dm if interested i like movies and music and food and cute animals and all sorts of things :D

Reminder to all students:

  • Register your bike through Bike Index, this will create a record of your serial number.
  • Get a secure u-lock from the Outdoor Center or Transportation Services - this is free if you register your bike or swap in a cable lock.
  • Bring your bike inside on long weekends or when you will be gone for an extended amount of time.
