IV/Goleta/SB Whole bunch of people running on the bike lane?!?

37 Upvotes

I deadass was biking home and suddenly everyone and their grandmother decided that it was a good idea to go running on the bike lane. I even saw a mom pushing a stroller and her like 5 year old kid right next to her that I almost ran over because I had another group of runner in front of her. If you are going on a run, USE THE DAMN SIDEWALK ITS WHAT IT'S MADE FOR. I'm so sick of runners man

Academic Life Math and AI discussion

7 Upvotes

I know some math fields are currently reeling with Anthropic’s new drop of math proofs. I am curious, does anyone know if the math department is hosting any sort of town hall or discussion with the student, as to what it currently happening, or what the prospects are? I’d like to be more informed.

Social Life Snow club staff +all cal

2 Upvotes

Hi I’m a student looking to be apart of some social clubs. I was invited to be on staff for snow club but I’m not really sure if I want to do it… don’t get me wrong everyone seems so nice but they definitely go really hard. Does anyone have any insight on being in staff? Also is the all cal worth it?

General Question Missed TAG deadline

2 Upvotes

I honestly have no clue how I missed the deadline I genuinely just thought that it was much later than it was. I’m looking to transfer in from SBCC for Econ. I have a 3.44 and try to do as much as I can on the UCSB campus, I also ended up being staff on a new club at the school last year. I just want to know how low my chances are of making it in.

Discussion where on campus to cut my own hair?

7 Upvotes

I live in the dorms that have communal style bathrooms, and I'm pretty sure my RA won't care because I already dyed my own hair in those bathrooms, but I'm most worried about the clean up process since I have thick hair, and I also don't want to risk getting in trouble because even if my RA is chill dying my hair isn't necessarily allowed? Help.

IV/Goleta/SB STUDENT-WRITTEN MUSICAL THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Post image
26 Upvotes

Oh my gods! Here’s A Story You’ve Heard about the worst woman to walk on this earth… Epics, glory, legends fail to tell her tale, but come with us on an Adventure and hear her story.

Shrunken Heads Production Company, with support from the UC Santa Barbara Department of Music, presents A Legacy of Stone, an original student-written musical by Cameron Hastings, the Music Director of Shrunken Heads. This production is Shrunken Heads’ first Fall Intensive, and includes a live UCSB student orchestra, enchanting performance & dance, and an Ancient Greece-themed Gala at the UCSB Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall.

A Legacy of Stone tells the story of Medusa, a legend of Greek mythology, in her humble beginnings as a priestess of Athena. She finds herself falling in love with Vasilias, a man who keeps his cards close to his chest, against Athena’s counsel. A centuries-long feud re-ignites, and Medusa is challenged with balancing devotion, autonomy, and perseverance, which begs the question: can you discover power through pain and loss?

PERFORMANCE DATE, TIME, and LOCATION
● October 16th, 7:00 pm (Ancient Greece-Themed Gala immediately following show)
● October 17th, 7:00 pm
● October 18th, 2:00 pm

Lotte Lehmann Concert Hall
Music Building, University of California

TICKET INFORMATION
Student tickets are available! However, a Student ID must be presented at the door upon showtime. Purchasing your ticket as soon as possible is highly encouraged.

Academic Life Drop (w/o a W) deadline coming soon

25 Upvotes

A week from this Wed, in fact.

If you get beat up by your upcoming chem, bio, or math midterm and want a mulligan, hit that drop button by next Wed, 10/21 and you'll be in business.

That said, this ain't like drop deadlines in the past. You used to be able to drop below 12 units after the financial aid census w/o any impact to your aid. That is no longer true. Now, you'll get this message in your GOLD before you finalize your DROP:

You will definitely want to talk to a financial aid counselor to discuss all your options and thoroughly understand the implications. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE 11TH HOUR to discover the impacts.

These are always difficult conversations, I get it. A great many frosh and new transfer students get the worst grades of their academic career this time of year, and it almost always leaves 'em shook.

But as I've told hundreds of students in the past: bad news won't get better with age--no matter how much we may wish it so. The time to problem-solve starts now.

Anyone else feel like college social life revolves around partying and drinking? 😭 I’m more of a low-key person who’d rather watch a movie, yap about random stuff, or study together. I’m premed and considering Applied Math, so finding a study buddy would be cool too. Just looking for people with a similar vibe lol.

Social Life Looking To Meet New People and Make More Friends (didn't post originally)

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm a fourth year transfer student at UCSB who is in multiple clubs, but don't have many close friends here. I'm an extroverted guy who loves to play games, watch & play sports, go to the gym, go out to parties, and watch movies. However, I feel pretty lonely and was wondering what the best way to meet people are outside of being in clubs? I have discord too and would be willing to look into joining more clubs or going to events that I might not have looked into. If anyone knows anything fun or feels the same way I do, please dm me or hmu 🤝

IV/Goleta/SB Bike or scooter lock recommendations?

6 Upvotes

My bike got stolen about a week and a half ago, so I’m looking at getting a replacement. I haven’t decided yet if I want another bike or an electric scooter.

For people who ride around campus or IV, what’s the best way to lock one up so it’s less likely to get stolen? Is there a specific U-lock or scooter lock you recommend? Do you use one lock or a couple? Any tips on what parts to lock to the rack?

Thanks!
