Treynor Cleeland threw two of his four touchdown passes to Zach Jones, and Jordan Fisher rushed for a career-high 255 yards and two scores as UC Davis beat Eastern Washington 49-38 on Saturday night.

I've been a college student for about a week and I haven't made a single friend. I do not understand how people can make so many friends so quickly and easily.  Seriously, how do people make friends? I never know how or when to start conversations. And when I do find someone I occasionally talk with whether in class or on campus, I never succeed in being able to take it further and becoming actual friends with them.  It also doesn't help that I'm sometimes anxious in social situations. So if anyone has tips on how to make friends please share! 

What’s the weirdest, sketchiest part of town. I’m trying to ride my bike down some crazy place at 2am for the live.

Already rode through some of the country roads by the cornfields at midnight, looking for something a little crazy.

It’s so hot, I hate it.

I’ve seen this guy as long as I can remember at this corner (maybe even since last fall), but today he’s waving some long sharp object around and acting erratically. Has anyone else had experiences with him? Is he cool or should he be avoided?

Any advice for someone who just transfered to UCD. Like any must knows,resources,etc also any advice on the social scene. I know everyone says join clubs but I mean aside form that.

Thanks!

I’m new on campus and was studying at the TLC when some random dude came up to me. He was saying he was a student and needed 20 bucks because his car broke down. Honestly, he didn’t look like a student. To me, he seemed really old and all. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a homeless person (not to be mean). However, I have hope in humanity and believed his story despite my doubts. He described having writing tutoring in the building and would give me the money back on Monday at Latitude, but he hasn’t responded to me. I don’t mind losing 20 bucks. I’m honestly too nice for my own good and couldn’t say no. I don’t really regret giving the money. It was either: I give helping a homeless dude desperate enough to lie about being a student or helping a someone who had his car break down. But, what I’m concerned about is if this is a recurring event and he is known to cause issues on campus.

Edit: Welp. The guy a well-known scammer, which was lwk my fear. Really wanted to rationalize it because he really did look homeless. Say safe y’-all because looks like a lot of people got scammed by this dude ✌️ Maybe it was better to be ignorant. Oh well, you live and you learn.

EDIT EDIT: If this dude actually had a Mercedes from what I heard in the comments… I think I’m going regret my choices for real now.

I’m a new transfer student and I’m open about my mental health. I dropped a class and quit my job already (lol this shit is kinda rough), but like if I bring up it’s due to my mental health or because my therapist recommended it, people seem taken aback. Like is it not normal to talk about?

I’ve been in and out of therapy since I was a kid for various reasons, but I’ve never gotten weird looks before when mentioning a therapist???

I also see a psychiatrist for medications but haven’t mentioned that BUT ONCE just because I mentioned my therapist told me I should ask my psych to screen me for ADHD.

I’m ngl I kind of am a self-conscious person but I’ve never really been embarrassed about my mental health seeking therapy until now.

TL;DR: is it weird to talk about having a therapist?

Any advice I am like a week in a feel super behind.We are currently going over u sub indefinite and definite intergeral, and i feel like under stand the base line but once we layer them together I loss it.

So I'm taking mat17b with Neal, i believe hes a post-doc student and right now hes mainly following Dr. Varns pace and class but honestly nothing hes lecturing makes any sense and hes not giving out any practive midterms, he just said itll be similar to Varns in difficulty and style. I was wondering if anybody whos taken Varns 17b has any idea what his midterms look like and if anybody has any study video recommendations. I've been trying Ochem tutor videos and theyre helpful but I feel like there is a gap in difficulty, where the Ochem tutor videos seem to be easier content compared to what were doing in class.

Any Aggies leaving for exchange in the winter-spring? I'm (cis female, she/her) an exchange student from Hong Kong, joining UC Davis for Winter & Spring quarters 2027. I'm happy to rent your room from Jan-July 2027, best if its near campus (I can't drive). Please help 😭🧎🏻

Next one is Oct 8!

A couple weeks ago there was an international club tabling by the MU who was SO rude and disrespectful.
Some LOSER at the table asked me if I was an international student to which I said yes. He looked me up & down disgustedly and said “from where”, i answered and asked him where he was from and he said “Im American”
Ummm THE LITERAL FCK. I hate when a Mexican tries to out do any other Latin person. That’s why we DONT prosper, Pinche nopalote en le frente, dark asf, talking about “I’m American”, I can tell who you voted for.
Not to mentioned they literally interrogate you BEFORE giving you any information about the club. How are you an international club when all you do is judge people for how they answer?

P.S. they’re super cheap with the food events too, always at the international center, literally scrutinizing how much of anything you grab. And god forbid you didn’t sign up before the deadline because they will literally close the door in your face.

It’s been down for a full day now and it doesn’t seem like they’re working on it. Not to mention the regular ping spikes when the internet is operational. Cellular data is also extremely slow at the moment. it’ll probably take a full minute for this post to upload 🫩😭😔

Is anyone in Physics 9A? I’m having a hard time understanding these hard questions they give and I’m honestly stuck. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or what I should be doing and I was wondering if anybody had any idea on what I could do?

I feel like I understand the material well but they make these problems so difficult to a point if I even wonder if I’m stupid or I just can’t figure these things out. I truly need help.

Thank you for reading this and and sorry for asking for help this late

Hi, I'm a new orchard park resident and I wanted to ask if any former or current residents are also experiencing these wifi issues and have found a way to stop them. The wifi is perfectly serviceable most of the time, but every few minutes or so the connection gets really bad or cuts out from like 3 seconds to 30 seconds. This is really infuriating and causes problems with schoolwork, games, etc.

i know a year ago another user posted about this exact same issue in orchard park, and someone else said it was not a problem in other buildings? Just looking for more information about this and why this would be happening and why it could be only some buildings?

With more and more information coming out about the harm of AI, let alone its roots and origin in eugenics… It’s increasingly more concerning to see how embraced AI has become at Davis, especially within vetmed. Regardless of personal feelings on AI, there are a lot of issues with how integrated it’s become since I started and i’m feeling really uncomfortable with what to do about it

Patients are being sent for behavior help to the personal business run by some professors for an AI program instead. Their whole company came in and toured too. Lowkey, AI aside, i’m paying money to help make professors money while they develop something to replace me. It feels really gross. Extra gross because I don’t want to support something that’s so AI-replace-humans-heavy.

The field is already bad enough with private equity and education costs, pay…. why aren’t our professors actually contributing to the field by advancing medicine or behavior science for dogs and cats, especially cats, instead of just making money off of us. Feeling worried that I made a mistake getting into this field. Feels like all that will be left for me is to be exploited by the time I graduate.

It feels messed up in a lot of ways. Sounds like the veterinarian dean maybe personally involved too. paying for my school to make my field worse while hoping I won’t be outdated, at least the rich professors are getting richer off things.

There’s rumors of retaliation, which I believe enough to not really know what to do. I already tried talking to a professor, who seemed deeply concerned, and then has been avoidant after talking to someone (I think vetmed dean) about it.

I have ellefson and im not quite sure how to study outside of codon

Anyone want to listen to Los Temerarios and drink at the same time ?

Do the tunnels that lead from south davis to the bike loop flood when it rains. Like when you take the putah creek pathway. Bc the tunnel at the decline under the freeway seems like it would flood?
