Prof. Hines has me fucked up expeditiously- I can't do it. This work load will make me rip my hair out, it's something nearly every single day and to be quite frank? I'm not comfortable with having to record my voice, my face, my ID AND SURROUNDINGS every single time I do a test or exam. Also, I'm really not benefiting at all from these boring, slow-paced notetaking videos that basically implore you to have to teach the lessons to yourself. I don't know about you, but I paid too much goddamn money to be here to have to teach myself the rhetoric for class thank you

and then it's not even actual math. It's just bullshit about politics and about XYZ and the mf third it's straight bullshit on my screen. I have to pay $50 to join Pearson. every single exam stretches my patience to its limits and drives it to dust. My patience has dropped into the negatives- I am OWED patience for this shit class. Upperclassmen, please tell me how you made it through.

Is it just me, or are there way more people on campus this year than previously? I’ve been wondering this since classes started because everything just seems way more crowded. For instance, the buses around campus have almost always been completely packed, and dining hall lines have been insane. There was even a line out the door at Bruceteria earlier which I have never seen before. I realize that things are naturally going to be more crowded as classes start and taper off as people start attending leas class, but I don’t think I remember it ever being this bad.

Let me tell you about the horror story that is Redpoint. Right off the bat, the door knob to my room decided it was time to retire, falling off its hinge the moment I touched it. And let’s not forget the charming dog poop stains on the floor and the mold in the bathroom that was so artfully painted over. Truly, a masterpiece of neglect.

The management here is a real gem, especially with their pricing strategies. They have a knack for sneaking hidden fees into your rent, hoping you won’t notice. If you’re not on your toes, you might just end up paying more than you bargained for. And when the fridge started sparking and shut off, they graciously informed us it was because we were opening it too much. Their advice? Open it only once a day. Because who needs a functioning fridge, right?

Phone calls are a treat too. They love to avoid them and respond with the same brilliant line to everything. I was even locked out of my room once because the previous tenant decided to change the door frame but did such a stellar job that the door didn’t fit properly and jammed. So, I left my door open until someone came to fix it. Their solution to everything? Just paint over it. Problem solved!

The AC is another highlight, conveniently going out at night. Many residents are enjoying this feature as well. And the dryer? It literally sets off the smoke alarm every time it’s used, as it’s practically about to catch on fire. They charge exorbitant cleaning fees, yet the place remains spotless. I even spotted a raccoon rummaging through trash bags on people’s porches, which, while not their fault, was the final straw for me.

I’m now working with student legal aid to break my lease. Everyone raved about Redpoint, and it seemed like a great place close to school and the S loop. Maybe I should have done more research, but I’m sharing this to warn you: these student apartments are as predatory as they come. Always advocate for yourself, or you might find yourself scammed out of everything while receiving absolutely nothing in return. You’ve been warned!

Has anyone taken the group fitness classes at the rec? I was looking into the Pilates sculpt class, but I haven’t worked out in so long so I’m a bit intimidated. Would this class be beginner friendly or are there others you’d suggest? Thanks!!

Hello hello! I’m a freshman here and I am very lost on a lot of things… one of them is where a good lgbtq+ hair stylist would be, I come from the panhandle so It’s very nerve racking having to ask in person. So if you know any good ones please let me know!

anything would help thank you!!
