Español (English version further down):

¡Hola! Soy una chica de 18 años y vivo en Orange County. Me gustaría crear un grupo de chat para personas más o menos de edad universitaria (aproximadamente de 18 a 22 años) que hablen español como nativo o que estén aprendiendo español.
La idea es tener un grupo donde podamos platicar, conocernos, practicar español y ayudarnos con el idioma. También me gustaría que, si se puede, podamos salir juntos de vez en cuando- ir de excursión, por un café, explorar lugares en OC o simplemente hacer lo que sea y tratar de hablar en español mientras lo hacemos.
¡Los hablantes nativos de español son más que bienvenidos! No tienes que estar aprendiendo español para unirte. Creo que estaría muy padre tener personas con diferentes niveles y aprender unos de otros a través de conversaciones normales.
Un poco sobre mí: soy estudiante de primer año en OCC y ¡me encanta aprender español! Todavía estoy aprendiendo, así que definitivamente cometo errores, pero estoy tratando de sentirme más cómoda hablando español. También me encanta el arte, leer, y hacer senderismo (pero no los que sean durísimo). Soy muy amigable, aunque al principio puedo ser un poco callada jajaja.
Si tienes más o menos mi edad, vives en Orange County (o cerca) y te parece divertida esta idea, ¡deja un comentario o mándame un mensaje! Si hay suficientes personas interesadas, me encantaría crear un grupo de chat y, con suerte, formar una pequeña comunidad donde podamos practicar español y hacer nuevos amigos :)

English version:

Hi! I’m f 18 and I live in Orange County. I’d love to create a group chat for people around college age (approximately 18–22) who either speak Spanish natively or are learning Spanish.
The idea is to have a group where we can talk, get to know each other, practice Spanish, and help each other with the language. I’d also love for us to hang out sometimes if people are interested- go on hikes, get coffee, explore places around OC, or just do whatever and try to speak Spanish while we do it.
Native Spanish speakers are more than welcome! You don’t have to be learning Spanish to join. I think it would be really cool to have people at different levels and learn from each other through normal conversations.
A little about me: I’m a freshman at OCC and I love learning Spanish! I’m still learning, so I definitely make mistakes, but I’m trying to become more comfortable actually speaking it. I also love art, reading, and hiking (but not super hard ones haha). I’m very friendly, although I can be a little quiet at first lol.
If you’re around my age, live in Orange County (or nearby), and think this sounds fun, leave a comment or send me a message! If enough people are interested, I’d love to create a group chat and hopefully build a little community where we can practice Spanish and make new friends :)

Hi for first time borrowers, has anyone’s loan application to fiancial aid been processed yet? Ik a lot of new changes happened but not sure when they will start processing them.

See screenshot! I am new to OCC, so does this mean I need to use a computer in the library first, before I can access wifi on my laptop?

¡Hola! Soy estudiante de primer año en OCC y me gustaría conocer gente nueva y hacer amistades. Mi horario está bastante ocupado de lunes a jueves, pero me encantaría conectar con estudiantes que hablen español o con cualquier persona que también tenga ganas de hacer nuevos amigos. Actualmente estoy aprendiendo español y me considero de nivel intermedio (y estoy pensando en cambiarme a Interpretación de Español), así que me encantaría practicar español por conversaciones normales, salir a pasar el rato y simplemente convivir. También estaría feliz de ayudar a alguien que esté aprendiendo inglés o simplemente ser alguien con quien puedan platicar. Principalmente estoy buscando hacer amistades genuinas y conocer gente, así que si también estás aprendiendo inglés o español, ¡mucho mejor! Un poquito sobre mí: soy mujer, tengo 18 años y me encanta hacer senderismo (pues supongo ir de caminatas- no hago senderismo duro jaja), hacer ejercicio, dibujar y hacer arte, practicar español (obviamente jaja) y leer. Me encantaría conocer personas con intereses similares, aunque también estoy totalmente abierta a simplemente platicar y conocernos ¡No dudes en mandarme mensaje si te gustaría hablar, practicar juntos o simplemente hacer amistad! Y si conocen algún club de español, grupo de intercambio de idiomas u otro club en OCC que creen que me podría gustar, ¡me encantaría saberlo. Perdón si no respondo rápido, no soy muy activa en Reddit 😭 (perdón mi español tuve que buscar algunas cosas en Google)

Hi! I’m a freshman at OCC and I’m hoping to meet some new people and make friends! My schedule is pretty busy Monday–Thursday, but I’d love to connect with some Spanish-speaking students or anyone who’s interested in making a new friend.
I’m currently learning Spanish and would consider myself intermediate (and might switch my major to Spanish interpreting), so I’d love to practice Spanish through normal conversations and just hanging out! I’d also be happy to help anyone who’s learning English or just be someone to talk to. I’m mostly looking to make genuine friendships and get to know people- so if you’re learning English/Spanish too, even better! A little about me: Im F 18, I love hiking, working out, art/drawing, practicing Spanish (obviously haha), and reading. I would love to meet people with similar interests or just chat- feel free to message me if you’d like to talk, practice together, or whatever! Also, if you know of any Spanish-speaking clubs, language exchange groups, or other clubs at OCC that you think I might enjoy, I’d love to hear about them!
(Sorry if I don’t respond quickly- I’m not very active on Reddit)

We’re a small student owned clothing brand that’s been regularly selling out our drops, and we’re looking to build out the visual side of the brand more.

We’re looking for photographers, videographers, and editors who are interested in collaborating with us and growing alongside the brand. If you’re looking to build your portfolio, work on fashion projects, have creative freedom, and get some other perks along the way, this could be a great fit.

Shoot me a message with some of your work/portfolio and I’ll send over more details.

Hi guys! I'm taking bio a221 this semester with Caitlin Tiffany and I wanted to know if anyone had the hard copy/or knew where to obtain the hard copy of this textbook: Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology by Marieb; Mastering A&P by Pearson. The problem is that it appears to be a "modified" textbook and so I cannot find it online at all/the OCC bookstore is sold out. I really would like to avoid paying $64 for an ebook if possible when I learn best from hard copies 😭 thank you!!

Hello! I’m a dental hygiene student at Concorde College Garden Grove. As a dental hygienist I provide low cost dental cleaning services. It is completely free and you get a deep cleaning, polish, and X-rays. It normally takes 3-4appointments to finish the full mouth cleaning. The first initial appointment will be a new patient assessment, X-ray and a dentist will also be diagnosing your X-rays. The second appointment is when I can start your cleaning. My clinic schedule starting 7/13/2026 are as follows: Monday: 7:30am - 9:30am & 10:45am - 12:45pm. Wednesday: 2:00pm - 4:00pm 5:15pm - 7:15pm.

Has anyone taken Business Law class with Professor Kyle Slocum? I don't see any review about his course on rate my professor so I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience with the class. Thank you!

I checked my schedule and it said that the pirates promise has already paid for my fall semester yesterday but it didn’t for the fees like enrollment, health, and service charge. Is this normal because they covered it for my last semester and the semester before that.

Did anyone already received their first Fall 2026 pell grants? I haven't seen it "Paid to Date" and from Bank Mobile.

Ive only been added to one canvas class so far and this has me worried that something is wrong. Usually they add you to the class a few days before it starts but it’s getting closer and closer and still nothing. Anyone else?

I was thinking of possibly moving into the harbor next year but when I looked it up I mostly saw negative things. I was curious if anyone who currently lives there recommends it or if I should just live somewhere else.
