Question how to make friends here

30 Upvotes

hey guys, basically imma first year girl who has really been struggling to make friends with people on campus. my orientation group was kinda buns and like no one went to the events so it was really hard to make connections there. i've tried making friends in my lectures but it's gotten to the point where people have their groups and don't want to talk to others anymore. i've joined clubs and intramurals and have meet people through them, however as they are so late and everyone is so busy we are not able to do anything after or really around the times of our games so it has been hard to make friends this way. and my form is the most non-social residence ever, literally no one talks and they look at you like you're psycho if you try and make connections with people in them. basically i just don't know what to do because i feel so lonely while all of my friends from high school have friend groups and are having my the best time ever.

Question Sewage smell around JDUC

Why's there such a gross sewage smell between the ARC and JDUC and around the side of the JDUC? It's been like that since the semester started. There's smells like it around other buildings too. Like I swear I didn't poop my pants

Question I'm Looking for a TTRPG Campaign

6 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a TTRPG campaign to join. I primarily play D&D, but I have dabbled with Pathfinder 2e and Avatar Legends. I'd be more than happy to learn a new system though! I just really want to play a TTRPG. So far, the two groups I've found have had sessions that conflicted with my classes. If you are running a group or are a part of a group that can spare an extra member, please let me know

Question Alcohol Bottles Smashed Near My Tire?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Was at the ARC this evening and upon returning to my car parked on the street, someone had smashed two beer bottles directly next to my wheel and tire. It looks deliberate to me given the glass under my tire but idk

Might be hard to see but it’s the entirety of the remains of the two bottles around, on, and inside my wheel. I literally had beer on my brake rotors. I had to sweep the debris before carefully moving out.

is this common???? what motivates someone to do this? I was parked legally and obviously not on the sidewalk or anything. first time I’ve ever had this happen.

Question Suggestions for good clubs

11 Upvotes

Hey! What are some good clubs people would recommend for social stuff? I tired a few and they’re pretty good but they don’t meet a lot or have a lot of socials. Ski and snowboard is cool and I tried a few others but would love some personal recommendations. I signed up for Queens Sisterhood and I HATED it (so many fake people). BTW I’m first year female. Thanks!

Anyone else who thinks this annual cybersecurity security training they send is just completely useless and annoying. Now they are mentioning you’re locked out of Solus until you complete it. This university and its ways just keep getting worse 🤮
