Rant OSU WiFi is making me irrationally angry.

47 Upvotes

3rd yr here. I like to work in 18th Ave, and since the start of the semester, I have had to spend the first 15 minutes of the study session just trying to mess with the wifi enough for it to work. My laptop and phone struggle to connect to it and no other Internet sources. Not to mention, the signal in 18th sucks so bad that I can't even use my hotspot on my phone. Sorry, just annoyed about it and wondering if anyone else is. ALSO? speaking of 18th Ave, one mens toilet stall per floor is criminal. I have to poop, and people stay posted up on Instagram reels in there.

Athletics Don’t waste your money at Juice @RPAC

80 Upvotes

II’ve been going to Juice @ RPAC pretty regularly recently and usually get a protein shake there every morning after I work out. I’ll normally add one or two extra scoops of protein powder to help hit my protein goals, but I’ve noticed that there’s barely any difference in taste when I add them.
Today, I ordered an Immunity Booster plus an extra scoop of whey protein, and I watched as neither of the add-ons were actually added to my shake. Then, when the shake was poured into the cup, about 30–40% of it had to be thrown away because it didn’t fit.
I just wanted to bring this up because I’d recommend not paying for additional add-ons if you’re getting a shake here. Honestly, if you’re looking for bowls or drinks with customizable add-ons, you may be better off getting them somewhere else.

Rant The Satan Guy on Campus

Upvotes

1st year here; I’ve been seeing this guy on campus and people post about this guy; he seemed super familiar and then it hit me. He’s the guy that tried to fuck a 15 year old a year or so back, pretty sure he had a girlfriend then too. Caught me off guard because people seem to love him. Crazy to see someone who did such evil shit get so much love.

I made a previous post, but with the responses from that post, I’ve decided I’ll more likely just focus on getting a degree in journalism. Is OSU a good college for journalism?

Question Film at OSU, what’s it like?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently a high school senior whose top school is OSU.

I’m looking to go into film. How is the Film Studies program at OSU? How hands on do you get or is it more just theory and that type of thing? What’s the Moving Image Production program all about?

Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

Academics Advice for ARTEDUC1600

1 Upvotes

I have taken ARTEDUC1600 this semester. After only attending two in-person lectures, I didn't understand much. I wouldn't rely on my notes as I know how they are. Does Prof. Funk upload his slides somewhere or does someone know how I can study for this course?
Or should I just switch to online mode if possible so that I can make work at my pace?
Open for any suggestions on this course :)

Question Holding Events Without Registering

6 Upvotes

I lead a student organization and I realized that I screwed up by not registering an event space soon enough. If we (around 15 people) meet on the Oval, for around an hour to do our meeting in the evening, will we be okay just this once? How likely is it that campus police will come and stop our meeting or something?

Academics physics 1250: this class is so confusing

17 Upvotes

i have a quiz this week for physics 1250, and even from the first day i didnt understand the lecture at all, and even now while im sitting down trying to understand even the basic concepts, it actually feels like my brain is being overloaded and that i dont understand a single thing.

i dont know if its a me issue, probably is, but yeah, i genuinely feel horrible having this class on my schedule.

everything happening this past week has genuinely been depressing, and this is the cherry on top.

Question abandoned evans lab query

16 Upvotes

hello all, I am a second year and have visited the abandoned evans lab several times. I've found all sorts of things in there, floppy disks, vhs tapes, old ass textbooks that were published before Rutherfordium was discovered, and I have assumed that the lab was abandoned in the early/mid 90s. can anyone confirm if i'm correct, or if they actually know the official, like, "abandonment" date? thanks guys!

EDIT: talked to my chem ta supervisors it was in fact abandoned in the 90s. Pretty cool if anyone wants to check it out, it’s like trapped in time.

I didn't see a whole lot of LGBT student orgs at the career fair, but I also could have just missed them. But this year I really wanna be part of one.

I know that there's the Little Gay Book Club (which I plan on joining!) but surely there's more, right?

Technology Check out the new and improved OSU Laundry!

11 Upvotes

Some of you may already know about the original version, laundry.davidstephenson.net. I wanted to post this as a reminder for returning students, an introduction for new students, and to share some big updates.

I completely rewrote the app to make it faster and easier to use. The new version is available at osulaundry.app and works on your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

You don’t need an account to check machine availability. If you choose to sign in with email or Google, you also get access to features like:

  • Pinning your favorite dorm and laundry room
  • Claiming a machine so others can see it’s being used
  • Nudging someone when their machine is finished and you’re waiting
  • Browser and email notifications
  • Live syncing across all your devices

It also has a new UI, improved light and dark modes, and a few Easter eggs.

Whether you’re new to campus or just forgot this existed, I hope it makes doing laundry a little less annoying.

I’d love to hear any feedback, feature ideas, or bug reports!
