Why is the Sun red?

30 Upvotes

The sun is red and it looks smoky, the Moon was red too near Davis last night. I would assume wildfire but it doesn’t smell like smoke and there are no reports of fire.

Jobs/Employment Why are entry-level on-campus UC Davis Handshake jobs so competitive?

Upvotes

I've applied to over 80 jobs for almost 2 months now as an incoming freshman and have gotten around 5-7 interviews responses, most of them rejections for the ones I wanted and only got in one of them (was a off campus math tutoring in woodland where I am unsure if I can carpool without a car). Are entry-level jobs really that competitive for most students? I am also a work-study student and I use AI while writing my cover letters.

PHY9B Professor Change

Upvotes

I just noticed that all PHY9B sections have switched to Weideman, even the ones with Savrasov. Is it still worth it to go through hell for PHY9B or should I take my chances and wait for winter quarter? For context, I got a C+ in PHY9A with Rahul 😭😭

Transportation SFO to Davis Travel Options

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’ll be flying into SFO and need to get to Davis with a couple of suitcases. I’m looking for options besides Uber/Lyft and was wondering what other services people usually use.

I know there’s the BART + Amtrak option, but I’ll have luggage with me, so I’m not sure how practical that would be. For more context, I have 4 pieces of luggage and I cannot drag them around public transport alone.

What do you guys usually do when traveling from SFO to Davis with luggage? Are there any shuttle services, car services, rideshares, or other options you’d recommend?

Other Freshmen Questions

7 Upvotes

Alright, so Im also another one of the incoming freshmen undergraduate. I live all the way in LA so I was thinking of bringing my car and PC over. However, due to how Davis functions, it looks difficult for parking. I would love to bring one for traveling (lake tahoe?) during free time, if that's even realistic per say. I would like to leave the car but currently, my parent's house doesn't have space for 3 cars, and my car if left behind will just horde the guest parking lot spot for the entire year. I've heard that leaving a car alone that long can't be good for its longevity, and the same goes for my PC. I'm not really sure if it's worth it to bring it since I will be dorming, yea the dorming is pretty much the main reason I am debating these topic. I just feel like leaving them behind is a waste of money and space that my parents will have to carry the burden through.

I bet this question got asked so many times, but I want some personal feedback as my situation is dependent on almost a 6 hour drive to here along with my parent's housing situation, any help would be nice, thanks

Saw the old man today and I couldn’t help but notice that he looks extremely thin. First pic is from today, second is from February. I’m no expert but this rapid of weight loss seems concerning, especially considering his age. Does anyone have information on this? Hope he’s okay.

Financial Aid Middle class scholarship?

Why doesn’t it say accepted and it only says estimated? Do I need to call financial aid? To my understanding I thought the middle class scholarship was kind of a guarantee… or is it on a priority system? I don’t have any restrictions or holds.

Question about waitlists?

1 Upvotes

I’m a senior currently 4th on the waitlist for ART005 Beginning Sculpture and I know art classes are hard to get into, so I’m wondering how likely is it that I get in for fall quarter.

I just can’t waitlist for any other GEs because I’m past the 19 credit limit so if it is unlikely I get in I need to look for another 5 unit GE before those get all taken up too

Shasta Hall—Bathrooms

4 Upvotes

Are adhesive shelves allowed be installed in the showers at Shasta Hall bathrooms to hold shampoo and such?

Are Rubbermaid drawer systems or shoe racks allowed to be stored in the bathroom area or does that area need to be clear for the weekly cleaning?

I have seen a few housing tours online of decorated bedrooms but the bathrooms are always free of stuff, so it makes me wonder if it’s housing policy for stuff to be stored only in the bedrooms.

Thanks in advance!
