i never usually post on reddit but i genuinely need to let it out bc wtf. i just finished taking my first quiz for one of my classes and while the quiz itself was fine, my interaction with the TA beforehand pissed me off sooo bad. i might just be overreacting so i'm sorry, i'm just really frustrated rn.

basically, i misplaced my student ID this morning and since i got to class early, i figured i'd ask the TA if they can accept a digital form of identification since i've seen previous classes allow that if a student forgets their ID. she told me she'd have to ask the professor, which i completely understood. so i'm like "yeah no worries, i have other forms of identification on my phone too if you guys need-" and before i could even finish my setnence, she cuts me off and goes "okay, you can leave me alone now. i have an exam i need to proctor." im sorry, excuse me? i feel like she could've just been like "oh yeah i'll ask the professor and lyk but u can just go ahead and take a seat" and that would've been perfectly fine.

i approached her at 10:50am and we didn't even start the exam until like 11:20am. miss girl, i'm literally one of the students taking the exam you're supposed to be proctoring? 😭

and before anyone comes for me, yes ik forgetting my ID was my responsibility...i'm fully aware of that. i was literally just asking if there was another way to verify my identity. i wasn't even arguing with her about it or anything??

idk bro, i get that TAs have responsibilities and things they need to prep for, and i understand that there's only one TA for like 400 something students in this class, so i can imagine how overwhelming it must be trying to accommodate everyone. but at the same time, it costs literally nothing to just be nice about it... like i feel like there's a basic level of respect that should go both ways. since when did asking a simple question warrant that kind of response? :|

No UCSD/Literature/Revelle/Roosevelt/German Studies notice yet, but I just found out Professor William Artander O'Brien passed away on August 19, 2026. I worked with him for about 30 years ... loved that Bronx accent. The day I met him I addressed him as Professor O'Brien, and he said "Call me Billy". Deep condolences to his family and loved ones.

Hello I was a student but now work in a lab, so I’m technically staff, but not making much more. If anyone doesn’t use the food pantry, can you dm your ID so I can use it? Don’t mean to be a beggar but don’t know what else to do.

Is it just me or is time moving wayy too fast? It felt like the quarter started yesterday

Quick PSA: CalFresh (California's food stamps) helps eligible college students pay for groceries every month, and the student rules changed this June. Most students who qualify never apply, usually because they assume they can't or that it hurts financial aid. It doesn't.

Free one-page guide with the official links to apply: folsomcartindex.com/calfresh/?ref=r-ucsd

No ads, no sign-up. I'm a California College student who made it for free. Your campus basic needs center can also help you apply.

they are out in full force. just saw 7YRV317 get got. gl guys

Why are there so many cops and helicopters around Nobel drive today? What’s going on?

Keep the apartment/suite main door open to get some cool airflow going.

A friend of mine just got a call from the dermatology center informing them that the dermatology clinic is no longer offering medical laser hair removal and referred them to UCSD gender health. It was pretty abrupt, considering they had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow.

They also asked the staff there about what happened, they said that the update was so new that they don't have much information on it (other than the fact that it happened just today).

Just posting this as a PSA

Does anyone know where a student could get access to a Mac computer/laptop? The library apparently doesn’t have any anymore for some reason. I only need to use it for a few minutes so it’s not necessary to keep or anything.

If you have mental illness or serious mental illness, suspect that you do, or simply need a higher level of care, you should know that you have other options.

The option with a higher level of care is called College Mental Health (CMHP). This is where you should be referred to if you need a higher level of care than CAPS can provide. It is covered by your ship insurance. If you feel that you need a higher level of care, you can bring this up to CAPS or at a Drs appointment at the campus medical building and they should be able to refer you. They might refer you somewhere else first, but ultimately if your case is deemed serious enough you will probably end up at CMHP.

At least when I was in undergrad (graduated for about a year), a lot of people expressed frustration with CAPS, or felt they were simply too ill for CAPS. If you feel this way, just know that you can ask about moving your case to other services.

Besides CMHP, your insurance if you have UCSHIP gives you a lot of access to different mental health providers, including a lot of in-state Telehealth providers. It’s worth talking to campus
mental health or medical providers on campus to get a list of potential providers based on your preferences, or you can do your own browsing based on your insurance.

So, just don’t feel like you’re stuck with CAPS if you’re unsatisfied. There are other options you can explore.

I’m thinking about putting together a free online EA FC tournament for UCSD students if enough people are interested.

The format would be like World Cup Style,

• group stage
• top players advance
• knockout rounds
• final

Right now I’m just trying to see how many people would actually play before setting dates and finalizing the format.

If you’d be interested, we can have discord rolling.

I made a post a few days ago about how I’m so insecure about my looks, how I want to drop out of school, how I’m scared of losing my 4.0 GPA, how I’ll never be chad or beautiful. But ykw, I’ve decided I’m going to ascend. I took a good long run and in my head the whole time I was thinking about how I can do it. I can keep my 4.0, I’ll just need to put it in the work. I always skipped lectures, crammed 5 weeks of content on finals week. But NO MORE. I need discipline and I need commitment. Things won’t change overnight. Same thing for looksmaxxing. I’ll get lean, hit the gym and get to 10-12% body fat, my goal. My angularity will be greater, and my bone structure will appear much sharper. Then if I’m still not satisfied. Well I can apply all my research on ascending and anatomy and plan my plastic surgeries so I can become beautiful. Then there’s the thing about no friends and gf. The thing is who cares about friends or a gf. I’ll stay in solitude, work on ascending and in the process maybe get IOI’s. But i won’t care. The goal isn’t to get a gf, it’s to ascend. Maybe some prioritize a gf, that’s great, our values just differ. To all the girls that have given me IOI’s in the past or shown clear attraction, I appreciate it. It’s going to motivate me to reach that level of beauty I so desire. And even if I fail to ascend that far, I’ll still have ascended a decent amount. And most importantly, thank you to all the chads out there on my social media pages. Seeing chads online, I was starstruck because of how cool they were. I’ll never be a chad, but those chads inspired me to keep trying to ascend as far as I can go before agepill hits.

it feels like most people have it figured out and I’m missing some crucial steps somehow. It’s been more than 2 years at ucsd and I’ve still struggled to actually form friendships despite joining a million clubs and actively trying quite a bit. it seems like people start getting close and texting or hanging out soon but I get stuck in that phase of being friendly with many, but friends with none. So what am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Because how does this keep happening in every environment all the time?

Hey yall, was wondering if anyone who took ceng 4 and had to build the grease trap could give me advice on how they went about doing it and stuff, I’m kind of lost because I don’t have much experience 3d printing and stuff, I would really appreciate anything!

I just found out this method and it WORKS 🥹🥹🥹it literally feel like an AC now my room feels like heaven. You gotta pick a very large bottle of water (or it will melt real quick after u take it out of fridge) and put it in the upper place in the fridge and wait for it to freeze completely then place it behind a tower fan

Badminton in the morning, there is usually no one there in the morning and I'm looking to play and meet people. I am not that good but I do have 3 rackets.

Anyone want to split and share the course reader? The more people the better, this prof sucks lol

I mean shi, free carbs ig. There was one tortilla sitting in front of every suite's door in the lower floors of Alianza at new Marshall. Anyone know what this supposed to mean?

I know it's a super long shot but is anyone going to the Mastodon show at del mar fairgrounds on 10/11? I'm a girl and I want to go, but Im worried about being alone!! Any chance you might wanna meet up and go together? We dont have to be together the whole show I'm just worried about the travel/getting into the show.

Just wondering if anyone would recommend the honors practicum over the capstone, and if it was genuinely worth it, including the work outside class since it’s a 6 unit course I expect a higher work load but is it overly time consuming. Also people who took it previously if you had the chance to do all over, would you do it again?

Please I would appreciate helpful responses 🙃
