New in the school and looking for people to play some music

I am currently taking Physic B (trig based) with Crede and am stressing out about this class. We were told during the first week that there would be no calculators on the exams because we wouldn’t need them since our answers will be in expressions. Our homeworks this semester also don’t count toward our final grade so our grade strictly comes from exams, lab, and recitation. I feel like I am struggling to grasp the content for this class and idk why because I did well in Physics A. Is there anyone who has taken this class with this teacher and has any advice? Thank you in advance!

*BUTTERS HAS BEEN FOUND* HALLELUJAH!!! IVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY Our baby Princess Buttercup, Butters for short, was sitting in the cracked window this morning when the screen popped out. She has been missing since around 4:30am when we heard the noise between Hartsfield Rd and Moon Ln, off of Mission Rd. Please please please keep an eye out and contact me directly if anyone spots her. She is mostly white so it’s easier to see her if she’s in any kind of bushes or grass. We love her so much and just want her to come home safe. We’re offering a significant reward if anyone is able to help us find her, direct message me for any additional info if needed.

I registered for classes on the 21st. Before and after that my bright futures was showing as $2082. Since about August 26, it's been showing as $0. I spoke to financial aid and they told me to call the school I transferred from because I have a letter about ineligibility due to not having enough credit hours... I completed 16 credit hours for my last two semesters and I'm currently taking 12. I don't understand why I ever got ineligibility, as I've always taken more than 6 credit hours and always checked for my BF to be disbursed every semester. I've emailed and called OSFA, my prior institution, and spoken with fsu's financial aid. Any advice?

Not gonna sugarcoat it, first two weeks have been rough on the social front. Haven't really made any actual friends yet. Everyone I meet either doesn't share my interests or is still glued to their high school friend group.

I do have one close friend from home, but he's rushing this fall and I already know once pledgeship kicks in I'm not gonna see much of him either. So that's basically off the table too.

I've been going back and forth on rushing myself. Part of me wants to since it seems like the fastest way to actually meet people, but I also feel like I'm starting way behind. Some of these guys have been networking with houses all summer through legacy connections and family friends, and I'm just now showing up to my first events next week to support my buddy. Feels like I'm playing catch up before I've even decided if I want to play.

The other annoying part is the timing. Rush events are conflicting with intramural signups and the first meetings for some clubs I wanted to check out, which honestly felt like my best shot at meeting people who actually share my interests. So now I'm stuck picking one lane without even knowing if it's the right one.

For context I'm a pretty normal guy. I like sports, traveling, going out on weekends, and I actually care about my grades. It feels like almost everyone with that exact combo is already in a frat or planning to join one, which makes the "find your people outside Greek life" plan a lot harder than I expected.

This weekend I'll probably be going to the football game by myself. My roommates and neighbors are cool but we don't really click on interests. The two people I've gone out with so far these past couple of weekends are both out of town this weekend too and I don't really know about clubbing alone.

Not looking for pity, just wondering if anyone else felt this stuck freshman year, especially with rush timing screwing up other ways to meet people. I feel like I'm left choosing between rushing or doing clubs and intramurals. Did it get better? Is it even worth rushing if you're behind on the connections side already? Anyone find their group a different way?

Hello everyone!
I’m looking for a couple of student tickets for my partner who is coming from out of town and my
roommate who was unable to get one. If anyone has a ticket they don’t want or know someone who may, please shoot me a dm. Thank you!

I’m transferring in spring and I’m really nervous. I’ve been thinking about DMing people to like make some connections before I go cause I feel more comfortable texting then meeting than just like going up to people. I’m not like a weird person or anything, I like to go out and party and stuff, but I do have a lot of social anxiety. I used to live in Miami and pretty much every single close friend I’ve had, I met online first. Like i can hang but I feel more comfortable already knowing someone and meeting people through them. Is it weird to text people and just being like “hey im transferring in spring and im trying to make some friends”?

Hello everyone, basically I really just need advice on what would be the best route for me to take. I’m currently attending a CC for my AA in Florida and I applied for FSU spring 2027 as a transfer student but was originally denied because I didn’t meet the world-language requirement. I wasn’t aware when I spoke to my admission that I had to do this because it was never brought up and now I have to take the SPANISH CLEP exam. My worry is that FSU won’t receive the final score before the OCT 1st deadline and I’m kinda lost on what to do. Idk if I should submit an appeal first? or am I cooked either way. Ik the best thing to do is talk directly to fsu admissions so I’m gonna do that tomorrow but ik it’s a tight deadline now. I’ve only wanted to go to FSU and I don’t want to stay where I am currently so I’m feeling a bit hopeless tbh

I'd appreciate it if those who took/are taking these majors could chime in on their experience.

I have an extra ticket of smu game. Dm if you are interested in.

Hello all, I am a high school graduate looking into future admissions requirements for joining the FSU student body. Due to some complications with my high school years I never actually took a SAT/ACT test, and I am now needing to look into which one I should take post-graduation.
This might sound like a very stupid question, but does the admissions office have any preference on which test means more to them during the application review process? I want to make sure I have every advantage I can.
Thank you all so much 🙏

Hello there, I signed up for a fall meal plan and have $25 under “Dining $ Promo.” I ate at Pollo a few days ago, but it charged my regular Dining $ balance instead.
Does anyone know how the promo works? Do I have to ask the cashier to use it, or is it only valid at certain places/times? I’d appreciate any help.

Being a grad student is less fun on top of it being an international makes it even worse. Tried dating apps, they never work. Tried to find people at my hobby places, they didn’t work. Too shy to go out by myself and start a conversation with unknown people. What would you do if you are in my shoes. Help a brother out.

Student ticket for fsu vs smu football game, dm me if interested. Price = 35

hey guys, i’m absolutely devastated typing this but i lost my monchichi keychain on campus on friday, somewhere between azalea and traditions garage. i’ve been retracing my steps to try and find him, and unfortunately discovered what might be his chain on the ground outside traditions. i’ve attached a photo of the chain and what he looks like. i wouldn’t care a whole lot if he didn’t have the sentimental value, he’s traveled the world with me and seen some amazing things, and was a gift from someone who meant alot to me. the chain makes me think someone probably picked him up, and im hoping they have it in their heart to return him to me. please dm me if you know anything!

I found out Friday I was rewarded a scholarship I allied for on Fsu4U. But I don’t know which one it was for. The financial aid office told me I got it and need to send my thank you letter but couldn’t tell me which one I got and how to send the letter. Please help!

Hi there all! I’m making this post because I’m currently trying to decide whether I should do Early Decision to UF or FSU for engineering. By doing it to both, I have a pretty solid chance of getting in which is why I’m pretty split.

As some background, my dad took me to almost every UF home game growing up, so I’ve basically been a Gator my whole life. For a long time, UF was where I was completely set on going. I really like the engineering school there, and a lot of the projects, resources, opportunities, etc. they have are right up my alley. But I recently toured FSU with my mom and honestly loved the school way more than I expected I would. Now I’m pretty on the fence between the two universities. I really liked the vibe at FSU and how it felt when I was there (socially), but at the same time I really like what UF has to offer for engineering (academics). I know that UF is a powerhouse when it comes to engineering but regardless of that I want to hear from people who actually go to these schools because I feel like that’ll help me weigh my decision a lot more than just looking at rankings and websites. Another thing is that I’m also worried that if I get accepted into UF through ED, which is where I originally planned on going, I might end up missing out on aspects of FSU that I would’ve liked way more.

Also, academically, I’m a little more confident about my chances at FSU. I feel like I’m toward the lower end of UF’s admitted student range, while I’m more around the higher 50% for FSU. But, regardless I’m still more than willing to challenge myself.

So with that, I’d like to hear what people’s experiences at UF or FSU have actually been like. What have you loved about it? What haven’t you liked? Is there anything you wish you knew before going there? I’m curious about both the academic and social sides too, like whether or not it was easy to make friends and find your place, how big the impact of being in Greek life vs not being in it actually had on your social life, what the engineering classes/professors are like, just stuff like that. Additionally, I’d especially like to hear from anyone who was deciding between UF and FSU too. What do you think you’d be missing out on by choosing one over the other. And for students attending or are graduates from either university, knowing what you know now, would you still choose your school?

anyone have tips in excelling in business calc w oa strong algebra background? ive been spending time trying to learn the fundamentals, but I was wondering if anyone had their own experiences to share

I still live on campus but my Amazon order was sent to 75 N Woodward (the old UPS location) instead of 104 (the new location). Amazon says my package was delivered so should I go to the old location and see if they have it or ask about it at the new location?

i’m trying to request tickets for the game but this is what i see. why don’t i have an option to join the lottery?

Do not live here unless you absolutely have to. My apartment has been infested with roaches since moving in at the end of July. The exterminator does come yes, but it takes a lot of time to fully get rid of them and it’s extremely disgusting in the meantime. I sweep everyday and find atleast 10 babies. I am a very clean person. there is no reason for them to be here other than the fact that grandmarc refuses to replace the food covered carpet in the uninhabited room within my 2 bedroom. I have asked for it to be replaced 4 times now and nothing has been done. On the note of the exterminator… I told the office in person and via email to delay the exterminator coming into my apartment as I couldn’t remove my cat from the premises and the spray is not safe for cats (they will tell you it is safe but if you ask the exterminator what they use and do simple research you will learn that it is not) Thank god I got out of class early and was home to catch the exterminator entering my apartment! Or else we would all have a very sick or even dead cat on our hands! absolutely unacceptable and not okay. Upon move in my fridge, AC, dishwasher, TV, front door (cracked at the bottom) and washer/dryer were broken. It was an argument for days/weeks to get each thing fixed. The door and TV still are not fixed or replaced. I have genuinely been in that office almost every day since move in trying to fix some bs. Not to mention the apartment they originally okayed me to move into was absolutely disgusting. So this is the BETTER option of the two I was offered. I appreciate the staff for dealing with this as I know they’re just people but at this point this whole situation is unacceptable for the amount of money I pay to be here. Just fix the things I pay to have and let’s be done with it. To go on about why you should never ever sign here…the firealarms go off atleast once a week at random and atleast once a month in the middle of the night. The road noise will wake you up consistently if you are on the road side of the building. Homeless people do linger outside everyday. The parking garage is a nightmare to drive in. the chances of you getting into an accident are high and has happened to multiple people i know who live here. Parking garage doors are often broken/ left open. I do not feel safe living here as a woman. I am always on high alert when outside my apartment. anyone can get into this building if they take the time to find an open door and trust that there will ALWAYS be at least one. which is absolutely fantastic considering my front door is BROKEN and they still haven’t fixed it. Do not under any circumstances live here unless you absolutely have to. it is way too expensive for what you get and management is horrible. Also 70% of the gym equipment is broken, the pool is gross and the first time I ever went, I got whistled at by a grown man after sitting by it for 5 minutes! Literally the list of reasons not to live here could go on and on. I have been so patient with these people it’s actually crazy. At this point i’m paying $900 a month to live with roaches, get woken up multiple times a night, fear for my safety, argue with the office, etc all so I can walk to class in 10-15 minutes. There are multiple better places you could live in the surrounding area FOR SO MUCH CHEAPER. This is literally a scam.
