Hi Dari, Amazon will usually replace if the porch pirates take your package. For more expensive items, you can send the items to secure Amazon pick up station. Another option is that your landlord can enter into an agreement with Amazon that allows them to electrically buzz in to place packages in the mailroom where they are safer. I own several buildings in Chicago and I use this option because so many tenant deliveries were being stolen.
Glitter bomb...in capitalism...crime n theft are a guarantee. ..its just survival....ppl living lower than animals or even bugs. Usa is infested....im orkin man.
I’ve been watching RUclips channels about life in Russia so I’m looking forward to following your perspective on American life! Thank you for sharing! Such a fun and interesting video. Wishing you luck!!
I know it's probably still a bit crazy for you right now, but be prepared for the culture shock (and homesickness). You'll probably start feeling it a bit after about 2-3 months once you're settled in. But hang in there, it'll get better eventually. Luckily, you're at a school that has other students not from the USA, you can build a nice little support group to get you (and others) through those tough times. Cheers.
During the pandemic the number of packages delivered to apartments increased dramatically. Apartments became overwhelmed by the large number of packages and they had to tell delivery services to just drop packages at doors. Most people (like me) never had any packages stolen, so we just continued with door deliveries. If you do have packages stolen you can buy a post office box where packages can be left.
I had a Russian friend who attended graduate school in America. In Russia, she worked as an English translator, but she found it difficult to understand all of the school material in English. So, I was wondering if you have any problems understanding the course work and lectures because it is all in English.
Just let the professor know and he or she will cut you some slack. Also, very important to go to office hours with professors because they like the feedback and when you are making a huge transition like this and there are some language issues, they need to know that usually will be very understanding.@@DariStep
I have not seen anyone do such a thorough review of their experience of the first week of MBA. This is truly a first. Additionally, your perspective of a foreigner in NYC is ulta unique and your content is captivating and quality is second to none.
So much to say. So let me start off by saying that it's great to see your explorations around New York. Can't wait for you to share more of your impressions, especially aspects of American life that are very different from Russia...or other parts of the world you've visited. Labor Day is unofficially considered the last day of summer and the beginning of fall. There are different climate zones across the country so it might not necessarily feel that way depending on where you are. At any rate, it's often the last time to take a short vacation before school starts. It's also one of the summer holidays in which people celebrate with a barbecue. Would love it if you could visit a barbeque restaurant in NYC with some of your friends. Regarding your choice of universities...you made a GREAT choice. You mentioned several factors relating to the cost of the program (which St John's was fully covering)...fantastic! But I'm unsure whether you mentioned the quality of the university. Once you graduate, you'll absolutely want a degree from a university that people know and respect....and people know and respect the business school at St. John's. Regarding the sexual harassment program....I think it's a perfectly fine thing. I doubt you have time to do a tally, but it'd be interesting to compare responses between guys/gals. Regarding ordering from Amazon...I help procure tech products for a Fortune 500 company. And I order multiple products for different customers from Amazon every single day. FYI, getting reimbursed by Amazon for lost/missing items is a big hassle. So it's better to ship them to a nearby secure location where they can be picked up. When shipping to apartments I will send items to an Amazon Fresh grocery store OR an Amazon Locker, which allow my customers to retrieve them when they're ready. BTW, I received my undergraduate degree from UCLA which is in Los Angeles, CA (GO BRUINS!!!). It's one of the largest schools in the nation....had a lecture hall class with over 600 students! Also earned my masters degree from Pepperdine in Malibu, CA.
Nice tour! Thanks for sharing. As for Amazon packages, some people install a secret camera that always records, other people place a large box outside that locks after a package is placed inside.
hello Dari I knew that you were a fan of the friends and if you are lucky enough you are not far from the (90) bedford street and corner groove street this is the apartment that we see in the credits of the series and in the first the restaurant the little owl who was the central perk
Australian government is currently releasing an enquiry into how to handle sexual assaults in universities because they are far too common and the universities are doing far too little. Great vlog. Thanks for your efforts, it was the best video yet and very professional.
Labour Day is celebrated in Canada too. Only essential service employees work here on Labour Day. We have family outings, or get together with friends and have a quiet day on Labour Day .
when you get a chance.. Check out Long Island. If you have a car you can go anywhere. If not the Long Island Railroad will take you to plenty of nice places like Freeport, Port Jefferson, Patchogue, or Montauk to name a few. There are some great restaurants all over the island
I went to Virginia Tech, Dari, and was a business finance major. VT is in Blacksburg, VA and basically the whole town is a university town both on and off campus. There were lots of big dormitories on campus and apartments off campus, definitely a student town. I loved it there, some of the most beautiful mountains scenery in the US. Glad you’re enjoying the urban vibe of NYC😊
@@kingdomofgeorgia1751 definitely wrong, VT is one of most diverse schools in the US esp since most of the students come from northern VA or the Norfolk area.
Daría’ you’re awesome. You are very inspirational… I hope for you the best in your studies while there in New York…. To get your MBA funded - wow! Great for you! Enjoying your content from here in Pennsylvania… not far from NY☀️
Great video, Dari! 😀 When it comes to Amazon, it's a little different depending on locations. They used to leave the box right at my door and ring the doorbell, but they installed a Hub (similar to a post office), leave them there and send me a code to get my orders. It's odd that they have no secure place anywhere 🤔. And yes, I went to a university that was in a smaller city, where the events in town really focused on the campus, so it felt like the town and university were one big community. I go back often, and while it's changed a bit, it was so rewarding to spend my college years there.
Hi Dari, nice to see that you now finally started the classes at your university. It was nice to get the impressions of the university campus and also some other nice places in New York. Looking forward to the next video already.
Wow, you're so crafty Dasha, you managed to get a free manicure in exchange for publicity for the salon haha. Very business like and a win win for all. I was a little worried about the rents and especially that you can't access your Adsense revenue, but I think you'll do just fine. Barter is a great survival skill to have❤
Glad things are going well for you. It seems like so much has happened since you were on Inside Russia sharing a stream with Konstantin. Its nice seeing seeing your experiences. Having earned my master's in New York City, its nostalgic watching someone else. Wish you well with your new semester.
I'm glad you're studying at a good university in New York. As a 77-year-old grandfather, I only wish that you gain useful knowledge and prosper in life. In the past, you could only go to Moscow, or in the GDR to study abroad from Budapest. Back then it was Bolshevism, today's world is more open. I studied here in Budapest, and the standard was high at our university. In my opinion, studying at home is more beneficial, but it is easier to acquire language skills abroad.
Labor Day is essentially America’s May Day. May Day’s origins are from the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in 1884 when labor unions were pressing nationwide for an 8-hour work week. In order to celebrate the labor movement, but avoid the celebration of May Day and the Haymarket incident, the federal government moved the holiday to September. Labor Day is typically considered the official end of summer. It’s actually tradition that some summer clothing (like seersucker) should not be worn after Labor Day.
University of Nebraska Lincoln, nice friendly, and very inexpensive university city. 400,000 population so not overwhelmingly big for those that don't want a huge city. But big enough to have some of the same attractions. Campus is next to town center, lots of apartments around the campus and downtown focused on student housing. And there are a lot of different international dining options in the town, and quite a few shopping centers. Good hosptials. Again a nice clean safe city in a state and city with a very low cost of living, so great for students on a budget. And they have a decent sized international student body.
Hey Dari... go SJU!! I grew up in that neighborhood, even graduated High School in Alumni Hall on the SJU campus. Your in a great area. SJ is one of the oldest college basketball teams in the US. They've had some down years, but expectations are high this year. Check out some history of the team. You'll find great food up and down Union Turnpike. Best of luck and enjoy it all!!
University of Maryland, College Park MD. A lot of nightlife opportunities, located obviously very close to DC and Baltimore so plenty to do. Labor Day, bbq beers football and friends. And yeah Amazon will redeliver or refund your bread back if a box gets stolen.
Delivery is a problem. Yes they leave stuff outside everywhere and things get stolen. Its a very bad system. Labor day is a big picnic, barbecue day or the last day of summer at the pools. Sorry about the food issues. Good idea to go to restaurants from other countries. Eating at home is cheaper. Hugs! 😘
glad you're having such a good time! :D your future is bright ^_^ oh, and I agree about the classes thing - yes, they should be taken. we still take them at my job, lol - it's a requirement XD keep staying positive and all the best :)
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Dari. You really showed us a lot. Even though I live in the US I have only been to NYC once and I did not have a chance to see St. John's University so thanks for showing us some of that. This is an exciting opportunity for you so I hope that you continue to really enjoy it even though I know it's going to be a lot of work. I did go to a University in Florida and it's definitely in a College town. Thanks for sharing and I am really looking forward to your next video.
Everything for a reason so I believe you ended up at the University that you were destined to go to so everything worked out for the best. St. John's is an excellent College. Proud of you!
My wife and I loved visiting New York and all the usual sight seeing places, including the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. We enjoyed walking along the High Line, which is a former industrial railway line which has been converted in to a eco resource, where walking and cycling is encouraged 🌆🇺🇸🌃
The reason why Spanish is common in NYC is because of many immigrants from the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba) and South America. In the western US, Spanish is even more common because of immigrants from Mexico and central america.
Hey Dari, thanks for the updates! Glad everything is going great for you. With schooling, I would expect to see less video postings from you as you turn your focus on your Education! Keep those grades up! Anyway, your lucky your Amazon packages were not stolen. I can't remember, but I thought Amazon has pickup locations, were you go there and retrieve your stuff (Not sure if there is extra cost, but safer than it laying on the floor in the hall of a large apartment building). And since they take a picture of it delivered, I believe you would get stuck with paying for something that is not there. Also: There is a show on TV here called Man versus Food, where he takes on food challenges. Saw an episode where the host was in New York City and stopped by Patsy's Pizza (Oldest pizza place in NY). It reminded me of your first slice and thought, maybe you should drop in and get a slice! Hoping that someday, I'll get there and do the same (plus a ton more)! Question: When you were in Barcelona, it did not seem that there would be a place to top that. So, does NY fit the bill (I think the smile gives your answer away)? 😁😁
One easy trip for a day of fun for you might be to tour some wineries on Long island or in the Hudson River wine region. They probably aren't as well known as the finger lakes wineries in Central New York state, but They usually have nice views and good food along with the wine. My campus was located outside of a small town. about 2 KM walk to the nearest shops, 3 KM to the nearest bars. In rural Pennsylvania town of Bradford.
Amazon has a local locker system... its like private mail boxes around the city. You can cirect your packages there. You get a code to open the locker. No one else can get into that locker.
I have amazon take a pic of my packages at the door. I live in apartments n I have had one thing taken put of 7 years I've been here. I just told Amazon It was taken n they sent me out another replacement. Amazon is very much customer based. I received the next package and it was fine. I never even thought of it being so unsafe lol people get packages taken I think. But it's just never been a bug issue here. 😊
Congratulations on your new courses and next chapter of your journey. Maybe someday you and Natalia (Natasha’s Adventures) will make another live chat.
I went to school in East Lansing Michigan. They have a very nice campus, or at least they did when I was there, back in the late 1800s. And when you run across kooky things like counterintuitive door locks, don't assume that they're universally like that across America 😊
I went to UC Davis for my undergraduate degree and California State University Sacramento for my masters in history. Davis California is a nice college town. I have had to take sexual harassment training and work and also through my union. I think it is a very good idea.
Theft of mail is a federal crime, a felony that could result in prison time, the loss of the right to vote or hold public office. Here in Florida, it's a A misdemeanor that carries a maximum jail sentence of six months and a fine of up to $500. Some carriers like amazon will sometimes replace your order, just to be safe get a door camera from bestbuy it helps with deterrent of theft when they see security cameras. good luck
For most Americans, Labor Day is the Last Hurrah of summer. It’s a day off of work, where if you’re not throwing a party in your back yard, you’re going to your friend’s or neighbor’s party. These parties generally involve grilling burgers, drinking beer, and whatever other fun activities you do in your back yard. It has very little to do with the namesake of the day; that’s been long forgotten.
Enjoying your journey! I have an American MBA. 1. Get good people for production, marketing, and finance. 2. Uplift them to their full potential Those are the most important lessons! Good luck and enjoy life while studying hard!
The Amazon thing may be different in NY. They generally deliver to your door. There was a FEDEX person that did that to me... I complained because it was a $20,000 delivery and they never did it again. I suspect it happens when the driver is running behind. Amazon will generally just overnight a replacement at no charge. They take your word for it. Also, that course... explicitly lays out so there isn't any question about what is expected. If you violate it you'll probably be expelled. It just removes a whole bunch of subjective excuses.
Amazon is dependable but when delivery is arranged through USPS it can arrive late! I subscribe for the free shipping and also for the streaming service. I find it a good value!
Americans don't say "University town" but "campus", and almost every American university has a campus which is separate from the surrounding town/city.
My Bday was at the beginning of this week and I spent it mostly with my cats. Went to dinner with a friend and watched videos until I fell asleep. It was a good day. Thank you for asking. How was yours? I see you are a fellow Virgo.
Hi Dori ... Amazon send you a message to your email or phone letting you know that ur package has been delivered. They also send you a picture. If it is missing or broken you can make a complaint.
The people who steal your Amazon in the USA are called porch pirates. They also have lockers and other places where you can have your Amazon delivered to. But I'm sure somebody has already told you that. I didn't notice that about the door locks. I spend plenty of time trying to figure out how to unlock things and turn the water to hot or cold. Left and right are not my best friends. Also my roommate fixed my bathroom sink and when he put it back together apparently the hot is on the cold side and the cold is on the hot sides so I'm probably never going to intuitively learn which way to turn the faucet to get hot or cold water. It tends to vary throughout the house. I'm not sure about the kitchen. I usually just stand there and ask whoever is nearby Which way is cold as I am burning my hands off.... We need to replace the whole sink faucet assembly but so far it's been 5 years and nothing's happened yet. But at least this afternoon the guy's managed to get the new 5-year-old refrigerator into the kitchen which is something they couldn't manage last night and the manual was no help and neither was the help line and by the time I thought of RUclips, they were both sick and tired of the whole thing. So hopefully most of our food managed to survive the night and half the afternoon in the coolers we put it in way too early yesterday afternoon. Yahoo! We have a refrigerator that actually goes down to 37°!
I’m a Graduate of Boston University and Masters from Northeastern University - Boston Massachusetts- you should definitely visit Boston and Cambridge (Harvard University) when you’ve a chance - small historic beautiful cities
6:41 I lived in Tempe, AZ for some time which is a city built around ASU (Arizona State University). It's an interesting city because it's in the desert but on a big manmade lake. ASU has a reputation for being a party school and I'd say that definitely holds true and can even be seen throughout Tempe (Lots of bars, clubs, trendy restaurants, etc.). Not really my scene but definitely an interesting town nonetheless
I think most university towns have lots of bars, etc. Cool fact, if you work for Starbuck's, you get a free education at ASU. My niece does this online.
It used to be, and it may still be, But it was novel at the time, In Harvard Square, due to Harvard and MIT, there were a lot of unique bookstores. Back in the 1980s I don't think it was really easy to walk into a bookstore and buy a book on learning Polish. I actually bought four of them. But in Harvard Square you could do that. I have literally had a guy ask me on a date "Hey, do you want to go to Harvard Square, and go to some bookstores?" (As it turned out it was also New Year's Eve and super cold and we got to see some fireworks and some ice sculptures and freeze our little butts off and wait in line a very long time to have pizza at what used to be called pizzeria Uno's, but overall it was fun.)
I live “upstate” NY (small towns surrounded by rural areas) where you can trust packages will not be stolen most of the time. But as the holidays come I’ve even had packages stolen then. Amazon sent more and still got stolen. It’s not a great system. I have seen how in Russian villages everyone has tall fences around their house. I suppose they can’t rely on police officers to deter crime. It appears we have a greater police presence in the US. But more importantly is that neighbors in small towns watch out for one another and take action.
Drink coffee!! ☕️ Coffee relaxes the nervous system of hardworking, thoughtful people. Try to incorporate yin yoga into your nightly routine to unwind after a long day too ❤️
About teaching sexual harassment in high schools this somewhat controversial in America, well its more just sexual education i.e. Learning about sexual organs, puberty, safe sex, STDs, birth control, and consent that’s controversial. In the debate you have people (like me) who support initiatives for Sex Ed and conservative and/or religious people (mainly and) who say Schools should only teach abstinence. Those against it say school should just tell hormone fill teens to not have sex and that it should be up to the parents to decide if they want to discuss it further, the common counter argument is that they’re hormone filled teens who are naturally curious, you can’t fully stop every teen from engaging in sex so it’s better to at least teach all of them to be safe and responsible, also it’s hard for parents to have this talk so it’s better to do it with a professional. Ultimately in the US public education is up to each individual state, some have zero Sex Ed, some have Sex Ed but if the parent doesn’t consent to it they can have their child skip it (I think that’s how it is in New York) others have mandatory Sex Ed I live in California, where Sex Education is a requirement to graduating high school, personally the only thing I find wrong with this is that it makes Biology class a requirement (I hate biology) In my Sex Ed we had a section to talk about consent which included watching this video ruclips.net/video/oQbei5JGiT8/видео.htmlfeature=shared Beyond a short Q and A we didn’t go further on the topic on consent and sexual harassment. There’s a video by people who say it should give a more detailed discussion. ruclips.net/video/NLKWEUhOHss/видео.htmlfeature=shared
At your age, you are still young, you might as well take the time do the education stuff because you might not feel like doing that when you get older and have an extremely closed mind like me. Yeah you can buy those door security bars at Home Depot that you slip underneath the door knob(s) from the inside of the apartment which are good. As far as drugs and dating, some people are physically activated and other people are only mind activated (but not their body). Right they can slip drugs into girls drinks at parties which is sadness but there is a lot of that everywhere except for the real adult women who are role models for younger women....???.
If your worried about theft, why are you dealing with Amazon? I would check your credit card statement closely when it arrives. Most likely you will find all kinds of charges from Amazon you didn't make.
Hi Dari, Amazon will usually replace if the porch pirates take your package. For more expensive items, you can send the items to secure Amazon pick up station. Another option is that your landlord can enter into an agreement with Amazon that allows them to electrically buzz in to place packages in the mailroom where they are safer.

If you turn the knob upside down it will reverse the way it locks and unlocks.
So much to say. So let me start off by saying that it's great to see your explorations around New York. Can't wait for you to share more of your impressions, especially aspects of American life that are very different from Russia...or other parts of the world you've visited.
Labor Day is unofficially considered the last day of summer and the beginning of fall. There are different climate zones across the country so it might not necessarily feel that way depending on where you are. At any rate, it's often the last time to take a short vacation before school starts. It's also one of the summer holidays in which people celebrate with a barbecue.

Regarding your choice of universities...you made a GREAT choice. You mentioned several factors relating to the cost of the program (which St John's was fully covering)...fantastic! But I'm unsure whether you mentioned the quality of the university. Once you graduate, you'll absolutely want a degree from a university that people know and respect....and people know and respect the business school at St. John's.
Regarding the sexual harassment program....I think it's a perfectly fine thing. I doubt you have time to do a tally, but it'd be interesting to compare responses between guys/gals.

Hi Dari good to see your doing well and settling in,,look after yourself and take care
This channel will go downhill because we watch for Russia, not for American university experiences.
The data on her channel says pretty much the exact opposite.
Great video, Dari! 😀

Trueee! It feels like it was another life omg
Greetings from Moscow!
And yeah, Amazon just sent you a new parcel, trust level is pretty high in the US
I'm glad you're studying at a good university in New York. As a 77-year-old grandfather, I only wish that you gain useful knowledge and prosper in life.

University of Maryland, College Park MD. A lot of nightlife opportunities, located obviously very close to DC and Baltimore so plenty to do. Labor Day, bbq beers football and friends. And yeah Amazon will redeliver or refund your bread back if a box gets stolen.
Delivery is a problem. Yes they leave stuff outside everywhere and things get stolen. Its a very bad system.
Labor day is a big picnic, barbecue day or the last day of summer at the pools.
Sorry about the food issues. Good idea to go to restaurants from other countries. Eating at home is cheaper. Hugs! 😘
Great vlog, Dari. You look so happy.
Thank you!! 😊
Go to Port Washington. Unobtrusive, but a nice little North Shore Long Island Town. Direct Trains from Central Station.
glad you're having such a good time! :D your future is bright ^_^
oh, and I agree about the classes thing - yes, they should be taken. we still take them at my job, lol - it's a requirement XD
keep staying positive and all the best :)
You should make a trip to the beach in New Jersey. Very nice cute towns there.
Maybe one day!
Great video, Dari. It's interesting, fun, and easy to watch, along with very nice editing. 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
that cemetery you were in has one of America's Founding Fathers in it: Alexander Hamilton -- the chief architect of our financial system.
Good to know!
I really enjoyed this video!
Looks like you're doing great, I knew you would. Have you heard from your friends Natasha and Alina?
It would be nice if they paid a visit.
I hope you have English classes at university where they teach you correct pronunciation
She speaks English so well 👏 Don’t be rude (or jealous).
Thoroughly enjoyed the video Dari. You really showed us a lot. Even though I live in the US I have only been to NYC once and I did not have a chance to see St. John's University so thanks for showing us some of that. This is an exciting opportunity for you so I hope that you continue to really enjoy it even though I know it's going to be a lot of work. I did go to a University in Florida and it's definitely in a College town. Thanks for sharing and I am really looking forward to your next video.
I was accepted to the University of Florida. It was my second priority 😊 but I didn’t receive any scholarships 😭
@@DariStepWow no scholarship funds. That's bad on their part. I actually graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida.
Everything for a reason so I believe you ended up at the University that you were destined to go to so everything worked out for the best. St. John's is an excellent College. Proud of you!
My wife and I loved visiting New York and all the usual sight seeing places, including the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. We enjoyed walking along the High Line, which is a former industrial railway line which has been converted in to a eco resource, where walking and cycling is encouraged 🌆🇺🇸🌃
Very cool!
The reason why Spanish is common in NYC is because of many immigrants from the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba) and South America. In the western US, Spanish is even more common because of immigrants from Mexico and central america.
Hey Dari, thanks for the updates! Glad everything is going great for you. With schooling, I would expect to see less video postings from you as you turn your focus on your Education! Keep those grades up! Anyway, your lucky your Amazon packages were not stolen. I can't remember, but I thought Amazon has pickup locations, were you go there and retrieve your stuff (Not sure if there is extra cost, but safer than it laying on the floor in the hall of a large apartment building). And since they take a picture of it delivered, I believe you would get stuck with paying for something that is not there.
Also: There is a show on TV here called Man versus Food, where he takes on food challenges. Saw an episode where the host was in New York City and stopped by Patsy's Pizza (Oldest pizza place in NY). It reminded me of your first slice and thought, maybe you should drop in and get a slice! Hoping that someday, I'll get there and do the same (plus a ton more)!
Question: When you were in Barcelona, it did not seem that there would be a place to top that. So, does NY fit the bill (I think the smile gives your answer away)? 😁😁
Ahahha you can’t compare NYC and Barcelona - they are wayyyy different
Nic video
Glad all is working out and you're enjoying yourself. 😊❤
Yes! Thank you!
One easy trip for a day of fun for you might be to tour some wineries on Long island or in the Hudson River wine region. They probably aren't as well known as the finger lakes wineries in Central New York state, but They usually have nice views and good food along with the wine.
My campus was located outside of a small town. about 2 KM walk to the nearest shops, 3 KM to the nearest bars. In rural Pennsylvania town of Bradford.
Yes primary focus is on your studies and grades. Your English is so much more understandable when you speak slower.
Amazon has a local locker system... its like private mail boxes around the city. You can cirect your packages there. You get a code to open the locker. No one else can get into that locker.
I have amazon take a pic of my packages at the door. I live in apartments n I have had one thing taken put of 7 years I've been here. I just told Amazon It was taken n they sent me out another replacement. Amazon is very much customer based. I received the next package and it was fine. I never even thought of it being so unsafe lol people get packages taken I think. But it's just never been a bug issue here.
😊
Thanks so sharing 😃
Amazon often delivers to wrong address, too. Not always stolen.
I got to ask you again I know there will be no answer . How come your America lover
And your countrymen hates America 🤔
Congratulations on your new courses and next chapter of your journey.
Maybe someday you and Natalia (Natasha’s Adventures) will make another live chat.
I went to school in East Lansing Michigan. They have a very nice campus, or at least they did when I was there, back in the late 1800s.
And when you run across kooky things like counterintuitive door locks, don't assume that they're universally like that across America 😊
Good luck 😊
Amazon will trust you, however if it keeps happening they may ask you to have a delivery spot elsewhere that can be secured.
I went to UC Davis for my undergraduate degree and California State University Sacramento for my masters in history. Davis California is a nice college town. I have had to take sexual harassment training and work and also through my union. I think it is a very good idea.
Most excellent.
Many thanks!
Theft of mail is a federal crime, a felony that could result in prison time, the loss of the right to vote or hold public office. Here in Florida, it's a A misdemeanor that carries a maximum jail sentence of six months and a fine of up to $500.
Some carriers like amazon will sometimes replace your order, just to be safe get a door camera from bestbuy it helps with deterrent of theft when they see security cameras. good luck
Come RIGHT in. LEFT to leave.
For most Americans, Labor Day is the Last Hurrah of summer. It’s a day off of work, where if you’re not throwing a party in your back yard, you’re going to your friend’s or neighbor’s party. These parties generally involve grilling burgers, drinking beer, and whatever other fun activities you do in your back yard. It has very little to do with the namesake of the day; that’s been long forgotten.
Good to know ☺️
Good luck and study hard. Take care and stay well.
In celebration, you should do a singing video of "New Yorkkkkkk, concrete jungle, where dreams are made up'' song by Alicia Keys 🤣🤣😆something fun.
Ahahhahahahha 😂
Enjoying your journey! I have an American MBA.
1. Get good people for production, marketing, and finance.
2. Uplift them to their full potential
Those are the most important lessons!
Good luck and enjoy life while studying hard!
Thank youuu
I love this beautiful, charming,intelligent,stunning young lady ♥
The Amazon thing may be different in NY. They generally deliver to your door. There was a FEDEX person that did that to me... I complained because it was a $20,000 delivery and they never did it again. I suspect it happens when the driver is running behind. Amazon will generally just overnight a replacement at no charge. They take your word for it. Also, that course... explicitly lays out so there isn't any question about what is expected. If you violate it you'll probably be expelled. It just removes a whole bunch of subjective excuses.
Amazon is dependable but when delivery is arranged through USPS it can arrive late! I subscribe for the free shipping and also for the streaming service. I find it a good value!
Americans don't say "University town" but "campus", and almost every American university has a campus which is separate from the surrounding town/city.
Some especially newer urban universities are intermixed, as the University grows building by building, like VCU in Richmond.
St. John's is old enough, and much of Queens new enough, to probably have been acquired as a single plot of land.
25k steps! That is a lot.
Will you meet up with Zack for a collab? 2 Russians invade America lol
My Bday was at the beginning of this week and I spent it mostly with my cats. Went to dinner with a friend and watched videos until I fell asleep. It was a good day. Thank you for asking. How was yours? I see you are a fellow Virgo.
Hi Dori ... Amazon send you a message to your email or phone letting you know that ur package has been delivered. They also send you a picture. If it is missing or broken you can make a complaint.
I went to St. John’s. I wish you well.
Cool!!!
The people who steal your Amazon in the USA are called porch pirates. They also have lockers and other places where you can have your Amazon delivered to. But I'm sure somebody has already told you that. I didn't notice that about the door locks. I spend plenty of time trying to figure out how to unlock things and turn the water to hot or cold. Left and right are not my best friends. Also my roommate fixed my bathroom sink and when he put it back together apparently the hot is on the cold side and the cold is on the hot sides so I'm probably never going to intuitively learn which way to turn the faucet to get hot or cold water. It tends to vary throughout the house. I'm not sure about the kitchen. I usually just stand there and ask whoever is nearby Which way is cold as I am burning my hands off.... We need to replace the whole sink faucet assembly but so far it's been 5 years and nothing's happened yet. But at least this afternoon the guy's managed to get the new 5-year-old refrigerator into the kitchen which is something they couldn't manage last night and the manual was no help and neither was the help line and by the time I thought of RUclips, they were both sick and tired of the whole thing. So hopefully most of our food managed to survive the night and half the afternoon in the coolers we put it in way too early yesterday afternoon. Yahoo! We have a refrigerator that actually goes down to 37°!
Congratulations you made it. Dont listen to mean people in NYC. Good to see you hear
Thank you!
Very happy for you. St Johns is a good school.
I’m a Graduate of Boston University and Masters from Northeastern University - Boston Massachusetts- you should definitely visit Boston and Cambridge (Harvard University) when you’ve a chance - small historic beautiful cities
6:41 I lived in Tempe, AZ for some time which is a city built around ASU (Arizona State University). It's an interesting city because it's in the desert but on a big manmade lake. ASU has a reputation for being a party school and I'd say that definitely holds true and can even be seen throughout Tempe (Lots of bars, clubs, trendy restaurants, etc.).
Not really my scene but definitely an interesting town nonetheless
Thanks for sharing:))
I think most university towns have lots of bars, etc.
Cool fact, if you work for Starbuck's, you get a free education at ASU. My niece does this online.
@Queleb1 Which school is it in Tucson? I know I went to their hospital... But it was in 1989
It used to be, and it may still be, But it was novel at the time, In Harvard Square, due to Harvard and MIT, there were a lot of unique bookstores. Back in the 1980s I don't think it was really easy to walk into a bookstore and buy a book on learning Polish. I actually bought four of them. But in Harvard Square you could do that. I have literally had a guy ask me on a date "Hey, do you want to go to Harvard Square, and go to some bookstores?" (As it turned out it was also New Year's Eve and super cold and we got to see some fireworks and some ice sculptures and freeze our little butts off and wait in line a very long time to have pizza at what used to be called pizzeria Uno's, but overall it was fun.)
Hi Namaste 🙏
Indiana University grad here. It definitely has its own “town” or campus in the city where it’s located 😊
Cool!
THE PENALTY FOR STEALING US MAIL IS SEVERE.
Do you dream in Russian or English?
For me I don't trust that many people even my grandma
That’s sad :(
I earned my MBA at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.
I live “upstate” NY (small towns surrounded by rural areas) where you can trust packages will not be stolen most of the time. But as the holidays come I’ve even had packages stolen then. Amazon sent more and still got stolen. It’s not a great system. I have seen how in Russian villages everyone has tall fences around their house. I suppose they can’t rely on police officers to deter crime. It appears we have a greater police presence in the US. But more importantly is that neighbors in small towns watch out for one another and take action.
Sorry for your package!
It looks like things are going from bad to worse for Your native country and you might want to extend your visa or find some way to remain in the USA
Drink coffee!! ☕️
Coffee relaxes the nervous system of hardworking, thoughtful people.
Try to incorporate yin yoga into your nightly routine to unwind after a long day too ❤️
Thanks for the tips!
About teaching sexual harassment in high schools this somewhat controversial in America, well its more just sexual education i.e. Learning about sexual organs, puberty, safe sex, STDs, birth control, and consent that’s controversial.
In the debate you have people (like me) who support initiatives for Sex Ed and conservative and/or religious people (mainly and) who say Schools should only teach abstinence. Those against it say school should just tell hormone fill teens to not have sex and that it should be up to the parents to decide if they want to discuss it further, the common counter argument is that they’re hormone filled teens who are naturally curious, you can’t fully stop every teen from engaging in sex so it’s better to at least teach all of them to be safe and responsible, also it’s hard for parents to have this talk so it’s better to do it with a professional.
Ultimately in the US public education is up to each individual state, some have zero Sex Ed, some have Sex Ed but if the parent doesn’t consent to it they can have their child skip it (I think that’s how it is in New York) others have mandatory Sex Ed
I live in California, where Sex Education is a requirement to graduating high school, personally the only thing I find wrong with this is that it makes Biology class a requirement (I hate biology)
In my Sex Ed we had a section to talk about consent which included watching this video
ruclips.net/video/oQbei5JGiT8/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Beyond a short Q and A we didn’t go further on the topic on consent and sexual harassment. There’s a video by people who say it should give a more detailed discussion.

At your age, you are still young, you might as well take the time do the education stuff because you might not feel like doing that when you get older and have an extremely closed mind like me. Yeah you can buy those door security bars at Home Depot that you slip underneath the door knob(s) from the inside of the apartment which are good. As far as drugs and dating, some people are physically activated and other people are only mind activated (but not their body). Right they can slip drugs into girls drinks at parties which is sadness but there is a lot of that everywhere except for the real adult women who are role models for younger women....???.
If your worried about theft, why are you dealing with Amazon? I would check your credit card statement closely when it arrives. Most likely you will find all kinds of charges from Amazon you didn't make.
Amazon would refund your money or replace it for free
I took my mother to dinner on Labor day so we could talk and enjoy a meal without cooking or cleaning.
Sounds great!
Let's hope your curriculum includes world history.
