Help Can anyone help me figure out which apt hallway this is?

35 Upvotes

I feel incredibly stupid for asking this, but a delivery guy majorly flubbed up delivering a sweater that had a lot of sentimental value to me, and then he deleted the delivery photo (I tried to recreate above) when I brought up an issue with the courier. I’m in SCC 3 but I don’t think any of the doors in our building have an iPad or screen on the wall next to them. The tablet looked like it said “Find Resident” on it. I checked and confirmed that it wasn’t in the TRow package room and it never reached my front desk at SCC. or if this is anyone’s apartment door, I guess let me know if there was a green package in front of it a few days ago.

Help College Park Student Jobs

• Upvotes

Are there any job openings or small businesses in the college park area that are in need of a student worker? My schedule is mostly empty and I need to make money/get out my dorm.

i practically spend most of my time doing nothing, no where on campus is hiring, and I'm willing to commute (as long as its traversable by bus) to get to the job site.!

Help Found lost Budgie

Thumbnail

149 Upvotes

I found this lost Budgie somewhat near the Flats apartment along Baltimore Avenue. He’s very clearly tame and comfortable around people, so I’m almost certain he’s someone’s pet. If he’s yours, could you let me know? Unfortunately he does not have a leg band on him, so if he is yours please show me some evidence so I don’t accidentally give him away to a stranger. You can DM me on reddit or give me a text at 240-762-2453

Edit: Also, if anyone has any good places to crosspost this, let me know

Edit: This isn’t the update anyone wants to see, but the budgie passed away overnight, even after eating, drinking and playing. After speaking with a vet, their best guesses are that he’d been exposed to something outside, had a virus, or went through shock. I’ll keep him in a freezer for a week, and if the owner doesn’t reach out by then, he’ll be buried. I’m truly sorry it had to end this way, and thanks to everyone who attempted to help. :(

Academic BMGT 380 v 495

1 Upvotes

I need to take a summer class to graduate on my preferred timeline and BMGT 380 (Business Law) and BMGT 495 (Strategic Management) are the only classes I need that are available over the summer.

does anyone have advice on which one i should take? i found out they no longer do Blaw in the winter (which was my plan). over the summer i’ll be working full time, and it’ll be summer ofc, so the easiest A is what i’m looking for. especially if the online version is significantly easier than the in person.

Help Having a hard time on campus

43 Upvotes

For context, I changed my major/ took a gap year because of health reasons which caused me to delay my degree. I’m 23 and I transferred like a year ago and ever since then I’ve honestly been counting the days until I graduate. Since most of my friends graduated already, I’ve been trying to step out of my comfort zone and make new friends but haven’t really had any luck. I’ve tried joining new clubs and it doesn’t seem like any one is open to making friends and is just there for obligation. I’ve tried talking to people in class and it’s very surface level interactions. It genuinely seems like anywhere I go people are unwelcoming or stand offish😭😭. It’s very alarming to me considering only a couple years ago when visiting my friends it seemed like people were much friendly and welcoming. I’ve literally been outright ignored or denied from activities here or given weird looks for just joining meetings. It’s honestly been making me really depressed and I’ve had to seek out counseling a couple times. I’m not sure if it’s just me or if anyone else is experiencing this but I’m finding it very difficult to enjoy my time here.

My brain is so fried right now, I genuinely can't think. I've practically forgotten how to do content from before break, and the content that I do know, I'm barely able to do it correctly or it takes me 30-years to retrace my steps and figure out what's going on.

Academic I made an extension to make tracking grades in Canvas easier

Thumbnail
gallery
35 Upvotes

I made CanvasGradesPro a while ago because I got tired of calculating my grades manually. Some of my courses didn't have assignment weights set up in Canvas, and others hid the overall grade entirely, so it was hard to tell where I stood.

The extension adds a few things to Canvas:

  • Shows your course grades directly on the dashboard, even when the total is hidden
  • Lets you customize assignment weights, drop rules, and grading scales
  • Calculates what you need on an assignment or final to reach a certain grade
  • Tracks your semester and cumulative GPA

If you run into any bugs or have suggestions, let me know!
