here i am on seventh floor geisel listening to a lecture on a table next to these two ppl (didnt rlly care). then i hear heavy breathing next to me, i dont think much of it because its flu season and they sound congested and overall icky. HOWEVER, it keeps happening and i am one to judge, so I look over and BOOM the couple sitting next to me is full on making out (neck and all)…
idc abt pda but do NOT do it on the seventh floor, find a booth or go to one of the group study pods JUST NOT WHILE IM FAILING DIFFERENTIALS.
oh and they are literally touching each other rn so ig its time to vacate the area.

Please tell me WHY it is so hard for people to get a room? There are so many times where I go to the library, gym, or dining hall, the first thing I see is a couple making out right in front of me, tongue and everything. This time it was a little different, yea we're in college, and people like to explore these types of things. However, tell me why, in the back of the freaking dining hall I see this guy getting a full-on lap dance by this girl. They were probably a couple and they looked like first-years too. The girl was taking off her jacket, and she only had a tank top on and you could tell she had nothing under. She was also wearing some short jean shorts. I don't mean to be perveted, but seriously, it's hard not to look when I am just trying to enjoy my breakfast when some couple is getting all touchy in the back.

Walked past thirty minutes ago and think that you guys are cool

I would be happy to know what club or dance group it is

Hello! We are reaching out to anyone at UCSD who wants to start their own Geometry Dash club! I think it would be great if we could get more schools involved.

Basically, our group (Geometry Dash at UCI) is trying to start up a project involving several UC, CSU, and other schools called "GD Collegiate California." There are already like 50 members, some from various UC schools. You might be able to meet others from UCSD! And eventually, we want to host statewide tournaments.

You never know how many people share your interests, but it only takes a few people to get together to form a club, which is what happened with us.

im really struggling with a class and got a 30% on my first midterm, worth 25% of my grade. i can try really really hard and maybe get a C on my transcript, or just drop and take the W. dropping wont make me have to take an extra quarter or anything, i just dont want to have a W on my transcript.

i bit off way more than i could chew with this class. i spent so many hours studying but i just dont conceptually understand the class, so the studying isn't really helping. i go to office hours every week and study as often as i can. if i drop, i think i'll retake the class next year and prep early. i am 100% certain i will not have another W on my transcript ever. how should i go about this

For some context, I’m a sophomore considering to apply to both medical and grad schools and I’d really appreciate it if someone could give me an advice on whether I should drop a class with a W not. My current GPA is around 3.5~3.6/4.0 and I am aware that it is not as high as it should be, so I thought overtime, an upward trend in GPA with As would make up for it. However, after the first midterms, my scores for the classes which act as pre-med prerequisites and my major classes are roughly in the B-/B+ range and that is assuming that I will get a full score for midterm 2 and final exams. One of the classes allows us to get a higher midterm score if we do better in that midterm content’s section in the final exam, but the other does not. Therefore, I was considering dropping the one without the grade improvement opportunity but I’m not sure if I should. Any advice would be appreciated. Also, if you know any advising services on campus that could help me out with this, please share them because I don’t know what would be the best action to take.

P.S: I will still be enrolled full-time after dropping one class, so it won’t affect my financial aid.

if anyone's also in Vis 20 what do we have to know for tomorrow? Just the names of the art pieces and the era, or do we have to know their locations as well? I'm so confused because my TA didn't post the slides from the previous discussion where it says information about the midterm. pleaseee help!!

Is anyone else unable to download their unofficial transcript from tritonlink's "academic history" tab? I click on it and it redirects me to the same page from which I clicked on it...

thankies all

I got cooked so hard wtf was that💀

Can't believe you're forced to take 5 courses of this for a letter grade for material that a lot of people do not give a fuck about.

And the fact that so much of the professors makes lecture and discussion mandatory, AND don't record lectures/post notes just to make themselves feel important is bullshit. Apparently they aren't allowed to give out A's for the first essay either.

Rant finished thanks for listening to my TED talk.

i have to take it this next quarter and coleman, burg, and bozonovic are all teaching, but they all seem like they make certain aspects of the class like tests or lab reports unnecessarily hard in their own way…….really unsure who would be best even after looking over rate my prof cause all the reviews are super varied

hi! so i’ve been trying to gauge my chances of getting into different universities on my list. i’m taking dual enrollment courses (completely on a college campus), and am on track to graduate with my associates degree next semester. i have a 4.6 w gpa, and (3.9 uw), a 30 ACT, and semi-average ECs. i founded a neurodiversity club during junior year, which had an associated mentorship program where members would mentor incoming freshmen from our neighboring middle school. i have a part-time job (10-15 hours a week), 120+ volunteer hours (from a summer camp), and also am a school ambassador. i’ve also been playing piano for 8+ years, of which ive received 15-ish “superior” ranking awards on the state level across that period, and 2 “excellent” ranking awards on the national level. 

i’m aiming for a neuroscience/related science degree. i am also applying out of state.

do i have a chance? let me know. 

Does anyone have the “Great Performance In Contemporary Cult Film” by Julia Fulton?

If this describes any of your friends, please tell them about the UCSD missed connections page

EXCERPT (Click on link to full article):

Over half of all bodies UCSD loaned between April 2024 and December 2025 went to the military, according to records obtained by Times of San Diego. Despite being the Department of Defense’s highest-paid cadaver supplier, the university’s body donation forms do not disclose military use to donors or their families.

I want to do a protest by myself holding up a sign in between target and Geisel. I don’t want to talk to people or use a megaphone or anything like that. Just holding up a sign for hundreds of passerby’s to see.

It would say something like “!n€l lives matter!” or some variation of that. I want to draw attention to my cause.

Will UCPD respond? Will I end up on the front page of this subreddit? Will my reputation at this school be ruined? Will most people think it’s satire?

I might not do it if the predicted costs are too high .
