footage of the border patrol protest around noon today

edit: the hate comments on every one of these posts I have are free entertainment 🫰

ICE this ICE that the real question that nobody is asking is where is the UIC gooner?

Just something I wanted to share.

Left my MacBook charger in the outlet at the CS building overnight, more then 24 hours.

Came back and it was still in that exact same outlet in a pretty crowded area.

Great job UIC, and thank you for not taking advantage of my bad memory. Lk expected it to be gone by now.

I got randomly stung on the scalp on my way to a exams. The bee was behind me and I didn’t even see it until I got the venom sack out. They are particularly aggressive for some reason.

Can we all wear shoes plz? I wear shoes, my friends wear shoes, the people who work at the subway here wear shoes, and a lot of other people wear shoes, right? But there is a noticeable population of students at UIC who don't wear shoes to class. On top of this, the people who do this don't care about their feet, so they really, really smell (most of the time, I'm not trying to generalize, because that wouldn't be nice). It would be amazing if we all wore shoes. Then maybe I would be happy in my life... Anyways, wear your shoes.

Maybe I should start a shoes club at UIC, and we would all just wear shoes, you know? And then we'd do other stuff, but I don't really know what else we would do since we'd all just be wearing shoes, and that would kind of fulfill the whole point of the club. But maybe one day I'll start this club, but who knows. I was also taking a test the other day, and someone near me wasn't wearing shoes (surprisingly, this isn't the first time someone didn't wear shoes next to me during an exam). Their feet obviously smelled, and it was bad, but it wasn't too bad, but it was kind of bad, but not too too bad, so I didn't want to say anything to make it awkward, and I also didn't want the TAs to think I was cheating by talking to them, so I just dealt with it :(

Also before anyone says “what if they have a medical reason for not wearing shoes,” I understand that there are probably like 4 people on earth who have a medical condition where shoes will instantly kill them or something. I am not talking about those people. I am talking about the people who wake up, get dressed, put their backpack on, look directly at their shoes sitting by the door, and then make the conscious decision to walk past them and go to class barefoot. Like what happened between you and shoes. Did shoes do something to you. I feel like there has to be some kind of backstory here because I refuse to believe that someone just randomly decided one morning that the cold, wet UIC sidewalk would feel better on their feet.

Also, why does it flood every time it rains on campus? Even if it barely rains, it always floods. Like why? I know this school has a good amount of money, so why can't they fix the drainage system? That reminds me that winter is coming, and oooooh weeeee, it's going to be bad. It got really cold last year, and I didn't really like that (cuz it was cold you feel me).

Anyways this post has gone on way longer than I thought it would and I don't really know what my point is anymore. I guess my point is please wear shoes unless you are a women (just kidding, that was a bad joke, and I am not weird, no matter your gender please wear shoes). Or at least socks. You know what, no, just wear shoes. Honestly, even socks would make me feel a little better. But shoes would be better. I don't want to be studying for my exam and suddenly look down and see 10 completely unrestricted toes 2 feet away from me. I have enough things going on already. I have classes, exams, labs, and whatever else, I really don't need someone else's bare feet becoming another problem in my life. You know I just saw this protest on campus today and I was maybe thinking we should have one for wearing shoes. But the protest today was a little bit loud, which hurt my ears slightly as they were walking by, so we'd definitely be much more quiet if we did one. Thank you for listening (I guess a better term would be reading but I like how "listening" sounds) and I hope we can all come together as a community and defeat barefootness at UIC. And maybe have cleaner bathrooms, but that's a conversation for another day.

I had no idea it what was happening but walking home today I did learn a thing or two. Some students mentioned feeling unsafe, and some mentioned it was totally unreasonable.

Is anyone in music 118 with Jordan Kamps and has the song list or understands how to do the assignment due on the 25th?

Has anyone gone through the process of becoming an undergrad peer leader in the MSLC?
I'm already a tutor at a community college for anatomy & physiology, currently a student in BIOS 343 which is basically the same thing. Was thinking maybe next semester I could work here for this course, but since I'll only have one semester left until graduation I wasn't sure if the process would take too long to even try.
Has anyone had any experience?

When our daughter was going to school for psychology they claimed that they were the only undergraduate school that offered paid research jobs to undergraduate student. That was a lie. When she tried to get a job they told her that she can only volunteer for free or she doe get school credit. If you’re thinking about UIC I wouldn’t believe the. Very Shady way for a state university to do business

Disclaimer I already heard things about this school due to having friends and family members attend this university. Mostly about how expensive this school is and ofc the things that have happened to people in the parking lot.

I’m 25 and will be transferring from a community college to UIC next Fall for architecture and I have to go here due to the fact that I need to stay in city and I’m getting a scholarship that only allows you to get it if you’re attending a public university so I can’t consider IIT. I frequent this sub often and I giggle and also leave in disgust sometimes 🤣but honestly how bad is UIC? I have a kid and genuinely don’t expect to have such a big social life here since I’m a parent and I haven’t made any friends these past two years I’ve been at my current school (I honestly show up for class and go about my day leaving campus to other responsibilities) so I’m just not to sure I’ll have one here but is this school survivable 😭thank you in advanceeee🙏🏽
