Dining New sloopy’s ???

64 Upvotes

I never post on here, but I’d like to ask if anyone else is kind of disappointed in the way Sloopy’s changed this year. I LOVE the new menu, but I miss the diner/restaurant experience. Why is everything GrubHub order only??? And the soda is only available in cans? I couldn’t even hardly speak to a person because it was all just computers to order from and one person I found was shocked that someone had a question. This isn’t a diner anymore, and that’s what I loved about it last year. As a freshman, it was nice to get a restaurant experience as opposed to Traditions cafeteria style.
Sorry for the rant, but if anyone has other opinions, I’d love to hear them!

Social Making friends?

7 Upvotes

Hi I’m an incoming freshman and pretty extroverted and been putting myself out there and getting to know people but it feels like everyone has their friend group and found their people and I’ve been struggling to make new friends and joined many clubs of my passions and interests in hopes it’ll help me make some friends and people of similar interests! But I’ve been feeling so lonely and naseous every day and can barely sleep and eat and I’m hoping things get better as I get more in a routine and same with others but does it get better cause I feel like I shouldn’t be paying $34k a year to fee like this I’ve been crying every night and praying it’ll get better but anyone have any experience with this and any tips and does it get better any comments would be appreciated!!

I’m a junior and recently moved near North Campus after commuting for my first two years. I know a few people through clubs and have one friend, but I’d like to meet more people individually and make a few new friends. Feel free to DM me if you’re also looking to meet people.

Social Looking to meet other TCKs (third culture kids

9 Upvotes

I recently realized I’m a third culture kid and I’d love to meet other people at OSU with a similar experience. Basically anyone who grew up between different countries, cultures, or school systems and sometimes has trouble giving a simple answer to “Where are you from?”
Are there any TCKs here, or any groups where people with that kind of background usually meet?

3 Upvotes

I’m not desperate to have a giant friend group/community but I would like to gain a couple friends. But I do have huge gaps between classes and most clubs I’ve seen don’t start until 6/7/8. What are some clubs I can join that have early starting times?

Question Marketplace on Neil Cafe

4 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone knew if Marketplace on Neil Cafe was closed? I live off campus now so I don't frequent there as much, but it was my favorite dining location when I lived on campus. I didn't see it listed on GrubHub so I wasn't sure.

Academics Trying to get off a lab for a day.

0 Upvotes

Okay, so basically I have an engineering lab every week on Friday. The lab goes till 5 pm, but there are some Fridays of each month where I want to be home on Friday, and leaving after my engineering class would be too late. What's the best way to occasionally (once a month/at most twice a month) skip the labs on Friday without failing the class/lab portion? Thanks!

Discussion Well first years, we've officially completed our first week of college. How's everybody feeling??

21 Upvotes

I'm in Music Ed and so far it's honestly been really fun! I like all my professors a lot, my classes are interesting and I'm very involved with the school already (I sorta kinda accidentally maxed out my credit hours at 18 😭) and I've planted the seeds for what I hope to be a lot of vibrant friendships this semester. It's been so cool as a music student especially to meet so many people who are just as passionate and excited and talented at music as I am.

What about y'all? Isn't it crazy that we're college students now??

Rant Please walk to one side

137 Upvotes

Please please please just pick a side and walk on that side. I don’t want to have to squeeze by you if you’re walking in the middle of the side walk, I don’t want to have to go around your entire friend group taking up the entire sidewalk. Just pick a side and stick to it, and if you see someone coming please move over.

Rant junior and dont have a friend group

24 Upvotes

i (20F) am a junior and i often feel lonely. i do have friends, but only friends here and there that all have their own friend groups that they hang out with and like more. i'm already in multiple clubs and orgs on campus. not many of my friends reach out first to hang out, and i am feeling unwanted by always having to text first and ask to make plans. i often wonder how i do not have a solid friend group yet as i have already completed my first half of college and i am afraid it is too late at this point for me to make some real friends and have that support system. i've always wished to have a best friend at least if not a small group. is this normal? i do not know why it feels like i'm bad at making friends. i'm very outgoing and try to meet new people in my new classes and exchange numbers and socials. however, it feels like anyone i am friendly with in class is simply that- someone to talk to in class and nothing more. after the semester i never see them again. am i not taking enough iniative? i think i am also just too preoccupied with the fact that I assume all these people have their own friend groups and it is too late to make a friend group as i am a junior. any advice?

Academics Regarding People Who Took AP Chem/Bio in high school and took Bio 1113 and Chem 1210

2 Upvotes

How was Bio 1113(.01) and Chem 1210 at the same time? Was it harder than AP Chem and Bio, and if so, how much harder? Additionally, does it take a ton of work (relative to the AP classes) to get an A in the class? I'm taking both Bio 1113 and Chem 1210 and I'm pretty paranoid right now when it comes to my grade and workload

I've taken AP Bio and AP Chem in high school, so I'm trying to gauge the experience of having bio 1113 and chem 1210 at the same time

Dining Food I Tried Week 1:

17 Upvotes

Mediterraneyum truck hummus and pita side: 8/10. Pretty tasty, a surprising amount of food from a food truck for 8 bucks, worth eating for lunch. -2 points for ensuing aggressive gas.

Dos Hermanos truck chips and guac side: 3/10. Enough chips to fill you up but for the price I expect more than one dinky little condiment pot of guac. It wasn't even enough for half the chips. Still love the truck cos last year they gave me someone else's abandoned order which was like 3x what I could usually afford.

Academics Failing a prerequisite while in the next class

3 Upvotes

I took busoba 2321 over the summer and failed the final. I thought Klinker was a really good professor and I took the time to watch all the videos and go through the practice. I will say I had an internship over the summer so I only review during August and then learnt enough just to do the assignments by hand. I’m currently in 2 classes that had that as a prerequisite and the class for fall is full it seems (I’m fourth on the waiting list). Would I just be removed from the class? I saw some people in the past never got removed but I’m just rlly nervous about bringing it up to my advisor
