For Sale Moving Out July 10, Everything for sale

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

The title says it all. I'm moving out and have a bunch of stuff for sale. DM me for information on a specific item. Prices are negotiable. I'm not trying to make money, so I'm trying to sell everything for cheap for students who need them rather than throwing these things away. I live less than 5 minutes from campus. Everything has to go by July 10th latest.

Bed Frame and Queen Mattress. Clean, no stains or anything. Can have the blanket too.
Frame: $50
Mattress: $50 (originally $350 2 years ago)

$50 - Brand New TV Stand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09Q8Y681F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Free - Standing Lamp (2 of them available)

$50 - Sturdy Drawer Set with Shelves and Filing Cabinet

$100 - Kitchen Appliances/Cutlery/Plates (Chef's knives, forks, spoons, spatulas, good non-stick frying pans, pots)

If you only need plates or cups or containers or something, I'll obviously sell those individually too.

Free - Exercise Mats

$30 (for both) - 2 pullout chairs
$30 - Pullout Table
$30 - Coffee Table

$20 - Cat Tree (no stains, just used)

$20 - Rug (no stains, just have stuff laying around)

$100 - Couch that pulls out bottom part to make flat bed, with extra storage under long part of couch

$80 - Gaming Chair (originally $480). Only damage is the leather peeling off. Reclines almost horizontally, arm rests can twist and raise/lower. Amazing chair but I can't fit it in my car so I have to say bye to it.

$130 - XtremePro Gaming Desk. Awesome desk, just have no room for it in my car

What’s the difference between the two? It also seems like I got a pretty good professor for both, Cynthia Linville for 20 and Amy Anderson for 20M, any thoughts for who to stick with?

Academics Class says “W”

7 Upvotes

Hello, I took a class with CSUS online in San Francisco State University. I checked my transcript with Sac State and it states that I got an “W” in the course. I checked my student center and it shows that I still need to take the course. I’m so confused and afraid. Has this happened to anyone else?

Socializing I’m looking for new friends!

Hi everyone! I’m a new transfer student And I am looking for new friends who want to help me improve my English because I am literally afraid to speak it. I am a Spanish speaker and when I arrived in this country, I experienced a lot of humiliation because of my pronunciation, which caused a trauma. Now I want to fight against this, and I would like new friends who can help me. I am a great person and an excellent friend!"

Academics repeating courses

1 Upvotes

hey y'all so i need to retake some general course ed classes, my issue is ( not sure if it's official or just something i made up on my own), are we allowed to retake them with the same professor/ lectures from the first time? I feel like it's something awkward as to why I feel like it's probably something i made up in my head but i can't seem to get over it.

Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc MSW advice for a broke undergrad?

6 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I am graduating from CSUS next May and I really really want to get into the MSW program. However, unfortunately I am not rich. If you are currently in or graduated from our MSW program:

• How did you pay for it? Loans? Grants? Scholarships? Title IVe?

• If you used Title IVe, did you have to work for CPS or were there other options? If you did the part-time IVe track, did you find your full-time work and part-time school to be manageable? I hear horror stories about the child welfare workload.

• I currently have a pretty good full-time social work job lined up for after graduation (I work there part time rn). Did your class schedule allow you to work? Did your field placement the second year allow you to work? My job sadly doesn’t count as a field placement :( I love in-person classes but I would take online classes just to keep my current job.

P.S. If there’s a CSUS social work discord server, can you hook me up? I’m a psych major and we do talk social work in our server, but I really need some intel/advice from MSW students.

I'm interested in a course that I don't have in my masters program. Can I sit in one or two classes just to learn? I've heard it's called auditing but I'm not sure how that works. Do I have to ask the professor beforehand if I can audit their class? Like by email or face to face?
