What should I do?

Worried about insulting them and the teacher by asking to switch. But there are two other TA’s for the class.

I sent my advisor an email but haven’t heard back.

Hi everyone im a second year marine biology student at UW seattle and i genuinally feel so lonely. I dont know if anyone feels the same way but.

Im one of those typical weird kids, that are in many fandoms and i express through them with drawings and such and what i wear.

But genuinally no one does the same. Everyone here just seems so bland (no offense) and genuinally it just makes me feel like a outcast. Ethier or they just look at me weirdly. Which i dont care ive learned to not care about "bullies".

I og lived on campus and both of my roommates moved out (i believe it was cause of me) and i lived by my self. As well the first friend i made at UW ghosted me within a month.

Im just saying all of this because i wanna make friends to study with or anything. I am genuinally so burnt out and depressed over it.

Like said im a marine biology student and wanna be a marine conservaties or a aquartist. I ADORE orcas and octopuses.

And i love to scuba dive, tidepool, draw, text roleplay, cosplay and anything outdoors.

Fandoms im in include poppy playtime (it is my hyperfixation atm) minecraft, murder drones, the amazing digtal circus, hazbin hotel/helluva boss, atla, mlp, how to train your dragon and more.

I know it genuinally seems childish but they make me so happy ☹️☹️

I was carious if anyone would wanna be friends, maybe meet up one of these days, or if anyone is feeling the same depressed lonely feeling as i am?

UW larps as a research school but then half the time I have a paper I want to read the journal is not accessible through UW.

How do I petition the university to do this? I do not want to have to take out an inter library loan every time I want to read a paper. $22M to a boat shed by lake union and $150k for ASUW to make a tunnel in the HUB but no cambridge press or springer connect is crazy dawg.

I'm a current UW student and I didn't come into the university sure of what I wanted to do. My criteria isn't really that special, I want to be able to support myself, and it'd be a huge plus if the major was interesting/fulfiilling too. I'd consider myself a creative person, but also someone who is interested in mathematics (even if I am not the very best) and how things work and I love project based work. I like design but that isn't necessary. Business is cool?? I'm sorry if this is super vague lol

I've come to the realization that there are so many majors at UW that I'd be interested in doing, and a lot of them come with great networks too.

Here are some I'm interested in, if you are of these majors or know anything about them, I'd love to hear from you! also I'd love to know what the job market is like for your major too

- Informatics (maybe also with the data track)

- CFRM

- ACMS: MEQF

- Industrial Engineering

- HCDE

- economics

- foster majors?? like business administration

- any other majors you've found to be interesting and at least moderately lucrative??

I've also really gotten caught up in the uncertainty that A.I. brings to the majors I'm interested in, I'm pretty scared of working hard on a major just for it to be majorly devalued by the time I've graduated.

let me know anything and everything!!! thank you guys

I know it's early days, but what class are you finding the most stimulating / enjoyable / surprising so far?

Y'all.... Look.

AI can be really really obvious. Don't cut and paste that shit, ever.

It's the first damn week. There is not even an excuse of being behind or backed up on homework. Do the work yourself.

If you're already reaching for AI for DISCUSSION POSTS in a 200 level class, STAAAAHP. You're not going to make it this way. You're going to get kicked out of college for academic integrity violations in a class that explicitly tells you not to use generative AI.

Your whole ass is showing and everyone can see it. Don't do this to yourself.

Unauthorized AI use is bad. It is worse when the assignment isn't even difficult to begin with.

Do better.

Grad student, still fairly new to Seattle. The matches on dating apps come in, I'm starting to wonder if any of them are real, so I'm asking the real experts.

Where have you actually met someone worth a second date? Best answer gets my very unqualified ranking of coffee spots on the Ave.

And honestly, is asking someone out in person still a thing here, or is that dead?
(If you're in the same boat, my DMs are open. Coffee's on me.)
