I am in the 2nd semester of the Bs Psych program. I am planning to transfer to Computer Science in the same university campus. What I wanted to know how credit transfer would usually work in this case. Will only the credits of same courses be transfered? Or Gen Ed or Elective courses that are different than those in Computer Science can also count towards credits?

My previous workplace was delivery station warehouse, I was only a seasonal employee for peak season. But honestly, I find the job easy and simple, I didn’t have problems with it but my co workers who slack off. I didn’t mind walking a lot and picking heavy stuff up cause it keeps me awake. But now I am about to start on May 29 for fulfillment center just cause it was the only job opening right now that is decently close to my place. I’ve heard that it is harder and stricter than delivery station. Also my shift is 30 minutes longer than my DS warehouse shift. I heard that bathrooms are strict too like bruh I go bathroom in DS occasionally cause I like to stay hydrated. But I’ll manage for the pay.
My 2nd question is how can I management my time to be healthy as possible with 6:30 PM to 5:00 AM. There’s gotta be at least one person in this subreddit who had great time management given similar to my shift. I only plan staying in for month or 2 to get money ASAP. Depends on how well it goes with the job.

MAJOR US MOMENT BROTHER!!! Got conditional offer at sbasse chem eng. I scored 8*s in IGCSE with 2AS & 2BS in AS LEVEL. With the current performance going on A2 exams, it feels like maintaining my As grades is next to impossible. I'd appreciate if anyone here can guide me kay "han abhi thora chance baki hai" in me
Biology: AS grade is an A. Now Expecting 50+/100 in P4 and 20+/30 in P5
Chem: AS grade is a B. Now expecting 40+/100 in P4 with 17/30 in P5
Math: AS grade is B with P3 marks anywhere around 45/75 and P5 marks 30/50
Physics: AS grade is an A. P4 went just good enough with expectations of 45/100 and p5 around 17/30
Do I stand any slightest of any chance keep my hopes alive of falling into the range of BBC average of lums? Or Am I cooked? I can't relay on lums solely with my a2 messed up condition. Plan B is i buy fsc ki books and start prepping for nust entrance exam (i've given net 2 & 3 but fsc syllabus had me in the first half. Needa score 130+ to get in eng there)

A lil background lang. I'm a 3rd year medtech student and 1 sem na lang, intern na ako. I'm a transferee dito sa current school ko so as usual, overload ako this sem because I really wanna be an intern na. Tinake ko minors and majors ko na hindi pwedeng buksan ng summer.
My schedule is Monday to Saturday, 7am-5pm, and afternoon lang ng Monday ang free time ko kasi morning lang naman pasok ko. Kapwa ko MT students know that 3rd year is TIRED year for us. Nakakabaliw 2nd sem subjects lalo na CC2 and HEMA2. I'm surprised that I'm not yet crazy but all I know is I put all my worries and trust in God because without Him, it would be impossible to survive this sem without failing one of my subjects.
Prelims, I slacked off kasi I don't know what to do and my body and mind are still adjusting to this new schedule of mine. I failed most of my exams and yeah, I failed most of my subjects, too. Then here comes the testimony of our newly passed alumna. Ang tumatak talaga sa'kin ay yung sinabi niyang, "Ma, gagawin ko best ko kasi ayokong my pagsisihan." And that's the time I told myself, "Ngayon lang 'to and everything will be okay na after. Need ko lang tiisin."
From laging absent nung prelims due to anxiety and fatigue to always showing up no matter how tired I am. Walang tulog? Papasok. Pagod galing community? Papasok. Anxious kasi parang hindi enough yung inaral ko? Papasok. I am confident to say na not once did I miss my classes this midterm. Even in my Saturday class, I always show up. And believe me, may mga opportunities akong nakuha just because I showed up. Yung pag-aaral ko for exams, sinisiksik ko sa time ko kahit 3 hours na lang tulog ko. Sabi nga nila, "Ang tulog, mababawi, pero ang grades, hindi."
I was fucking losing it during our exams nitong midterms and after my last exam, nasa gate pa lang ako ng bahay namin, nag breakdown na ako due to pent up pagod and frustrations tapos sinalubong oa ako ng dalawa kong chanak, edi hagulgol so much na ako. 😭 I hugged them until I felt better. Good thing I have them kasi seeing them being all happy pag umuuwi ako from school is such a boost of serotonin for me. They're one of the reasons din naman why I'm doing my best.
Yesterday, I got the result of my HEMA2 major exam and long quiz. Kabado pa ako niyan kasi I'm overthinking baka bagsak ako and di ko na ma-clutch hema ko kasi super baba ng grade ko nung prelims. Nasa line of 6 ako that time and I even asked my prof if kaya pa ba mahabol and she just said, "Wag ka lang ma-late." Meaning, was ma-late at be always present para walang ma-miss na quizzes and activities. Tinignan ko and boom! 28/40 LQ ko and 64/90 major exam ko with 67 as our highest and tumaas ng 10 yung overall grade ko this midterm. From line of 6 to line of 7! Iiyak narin sana ako sa harap ng class namin kasi sobrang proud daw ni ma'am sa'kin. 😭
Ang daming bagsak sa major exam namin dahil sa malalang pa-case analysis ni prof and sobrang naiiyak na ako during and after exam that day. Lahat kami nahirapan at sabi nga ni prof, marami raw ang bumababa ang grades this midterm at kakaunti lang ang tumaas. I prayed to God na kahit 60% lang but voila! He gave me more than what I asked for! My hard work paid off. 😭 Hindi ko shinare sa family ko kasi I'm working hard in silence. Only my bf knows how hard I'm working to pass this sem and this achievement of mine.
Mas lalo akong ginanahan hahahaha! And I pray na yung ibang exams ko ay pasado rin!
Kahit pagod na pagod na kayo, if you really want to reach your goal, always show up! Not for others but for yourself. God can see your efforts and He will not let it go into waste. Pipilitin at kakayanin para sa pangarap kasi ayokong may pagsisihan. Padayon, future RMTs and believers of theirselves! ♥️

I've been looking into getting a car with a B58 and I've considered the 340i 540i and X3 M40i.
I've recently looked into the 740i/540i which also comes with a B58 and they're about the same price or only few grand more than the cars mentioned above.
What Interests me is the tunability of the B58, I currently have a fbo 2nd gen Lexus IS350 and it's decently fast for what it is 0-60 in 4.7 secs, it is lowered and a small car, not the most comfortable. However it has been extremely reliable with 144k miles on the clock while being redlined to 7200rpm every other week.
What I am looking for is a car that will be faster than my current car while being more comfortable.
I'm leaning away from the 340i because they're the most commonly modified and abused one and probably has a higher chance of failure, and 540i and 740i are less likely to be modified by the previous owner. I know the 740i is heavier and if I do the same mods on a 340i it'll be faster, but I'm not planning to build the fastest B58 car around and making a full bolt on 740i will be fast enough and more unique for me. My goal is to build a sleeper grandpa car that has burbles.
I know that the 7 series BMW has been know for being quite unreliable and 5 series are usually less reliable than the 3 series, both cars due to extra electronics.
I have heard that electronics on the 740i tend to fail and air suspension can fail eventually, but I'm OK with that as long as the engine and transmission won't have too many issues, and the car won't leave me stranded. I have some mechanical experience and I'm decent at working on cars.
Now my question is how reliable is the 740i/540i ? Any common issues with the cars ? (Doesn't matter if it's x drive or not)

I couldn't come up with a good title that accurately sums up the post in a reasonable amount of time, sorry. I am open to any harsh words as I probably need it.
I am 18 almost 19, doing online college, no job, pretty much on the computer all day playing games with friends or watching TV/youtube. The advice I want is how to fix/deal with feeling like a neglected child and/or not feeling cared about enough.
My family, I believe, is well off and live comfortably. Dad has a good job and my mom works 2 jobs, one full time one part time- we make enough money. I believe the only reason I ended up staying in my room doing things to pass time is because my parents don't really seek me out, they aren't assertive towards interacting with me. I do believe this is partially my fault as I was always a loner on purpose for a majority of middle school/highschool since we moved when I was in the 7th grade. I don't have many friends and don't care to have big groups of friends either. I don't enjoy parties/concerts or loud places. My closest friends (and at the moment only real friends) live too far for us to interact IRL without planning a big trip. I hear people mention things like not needed a reason to talk to people, but I always think, if you have no reason to talk, what would you even talk about? Given this thought process, it's understandable that my family doesn't interact often, but it's too un-often I believe. My parents never knock on my door (could be unreasonable because phones exist, I have no idea). My parents and I can go days without holding a conversation. We don't ever travel or do any thing like bowling, go-kart, etc. together. It seems like the only thing that interests them is themselves and work. I hate to say they put work first but I'm coming closer and closer to that as I think about this.
I feel reluctant to call my parents not great parents however, they are not what my version of an ideal mothefather figure would look like. Granted, this "ideal" is mostly from observing other parents or things on the internet which would be a far fetch to say is realistic and I understand that not every family dynamic is the same, but maybe they are lacking core features that most parents have?
Is everything I've mentioned just my own fault or every participants fault? Am I being unreasonable?
(not sure if this was too harsh for advice, new to reddit, I kinda just viewed it as needing advice and not a vent/depression worthy topic even though it does affect me a bit)

Currently applying this cycle but struggling with building a school list. I plan on applying to 35-40 schools. My stats and EC's are listed below:
Demographics: ORM, male resident of CA
Stats: 520 MCAT (128, 130 131, 131). 3.90 cGPA. 3.90 sGPA.
ECs after one gap year:

• Clinical paid: ~700 b/w MA and scribing at two different private practices
• Clinical volunteering: 120 hrs patient-interacting role at hospital (will add ~160 hrs during gap year 2)
• Research: 500 hrs, 2nd author for 2 posters w abstracts in conference journal, not the presenter tho (will add at least ~850 hrs during gap year 2 and hopefully get a pub)
• Shadowing: ~80 hours across 4 specialties
• Non-clinical volunteering: ~200 hrs serving the unhoused, ~170 hrs at local food pantry. (will add ~300 hrs during gap year 2)
• Leadership: ~150 hrs founded a book club during covid and kept it up (not really sure if this counts tbh but it's the closest I have)
• Misc long-time hobbies.

School list:

• Reach = Stanford, UCSF, Wash U, Vanderbilt, UMich, Mayo, Cornell, Northwestern
• Target = UCLA, UCSD, USC, UCI, Kaiser, UVA, Case Western, Sinai, Pitt, Emory, Rochester, Boston U, UMass, Creighton, Einstein, Stony Brook, Maryland, Tufts, Cincinnati, Iowa, Colorado, Ohio State
• "Baseline" = UCD, UCR, Jefferson, Geisinger, VCU, Indiana, U of Wisconsin, Temple, Wayne State, SLU

LOR: 3 Profs (2 sci, 1 non-sci), 1 MD, 1 PI, 1 non-clinical volunteering. Should all be strong.
I have a feeling this is too top heavy, especially given my lack of research hrs currently, but I'm not sure since Admit.org suggests I should have even more top schools (I seriously doubt that would be a good idea) and classified 13 of my listed targets as "baselines".
All help would be appreciated!

Sorry if this post is long but I need some advice .
I (YA, M) lost my parents to gang violence when I was a teen, and automatically inherited the house (I’m the only child). The house is fairly big, and since I’ve been an orphan I’ve been taking care of the bills, which is really expensive for a teen. I was still in school, puberty hit me like a fucking brick and I was struggling to make ends meet while mourning the death of my parents. My parents didn’t leave me much, and since I’ve never learned how to be financially responsible, I went broke. I opened up my dream food stand that did struggle in the beginning and I did everything else to bring in money, including a part time job and growing magic mushrooms. Juggling all that while maintaining a good grade lead me to relieving stress in unhealthy ways, mainly sex. I had a roster of girls (and few women) that I would see on the regular, including this woman who I’m calling Lia (YA). We became best friends before we became FWB. It was around this time that I became a teen dad by another woman, (who I pay child support to) who I still see to this day.
Anyway, a Sim year went by and I graduated early and I was finally financially stable enough to afford the bills. However, I’m still a sex addict and there’s a few women that I just can’t let go, which is Lia, my baby mama (my fav), and this married chick who’s a former prostitute. But some months ago, I met this very attractive woman (let’s call her Anya) and she’s truly different. She’s sweet, is really big on caring for the environment, talented, loves gardening and a great cook. I met her at my food stand. She was very charming. We ended up hanging out a few times and turns out that we have amazing compatibility! And even though I wanted to take it a step further and have sex with her, I had a little more respect for her than I thought. But that didn’t stop me from seeing my other flings.
Then one day I finally went over to her place for the first time, and to my surprise she wanted to do more than just hang out. It was good, but I was daydreaming about my baby mama after we were finished. While I was there, I took note of her home. It was… humble I would say, but its cute and really suits her. And judging by the neighborhood, I knew the rent was dirt cheap, especially hers because she was so eco-friendly. So my gears get to turning and this is where I may be the asshole. I’m coming up with a plan to move into her place solely to pay less rent. I was going to make her fall in love with me and convince her to let me move in with her so I can focus on expanding my business and stacking my bread for a bigger better house. And again, this girl is just full of surprises because before I could even execute the plan, she ASKED me to move in! Turns out she already has deep feelings for me and wants to take things to the next level. I immediately said yes but in the back of my mind I feel awful. I didn’t plan on being exclusive with her this soon, especially since we’ve only had sex ONCE and I already want to go out and see my favorite girl… But I was also ready to not have to pay those expensive ass bills, so… I said yes. Even though deep down I knew that my future plans probably wouldn’t even include her…
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve moved in and I just as expected, rent was WAY cheaper. The thing is I still haven’t made her my girlfriend yet. And lately Lia has been becoming bold and is popping up to the house while Anya is at work. Even my BM. I’m starting to feel bad, but sex with Anya isn’t as good as it is with Lia and my BM. Rarely see my married fling nowadays. I’m starting to care about Anya, and I can see day by day that she fall more in love with me and I know that she’s just waiting for me to ask her to be mine. But idk if I’m ready yet…
Recently, Lia invited me out on a date and I could see that she is visibly pregnant. She confessed to me that I am the father (which I will be getting a paternity test because she does have a male roommate that she’s been intimate with before). I feel like everything is happening too fast in my life. I already have a child to take care of, a woman at home that I’m leading on and now this? And to top it off, Lia asked me to be her boyfriend! I don’t know what to do! I know I brought this all on myself but I could use some help. AITA for all of this? Should I just cut everyone off, and stay with Anya regardless of how I feel? Should I say yes to Lia and break it off with Anya, hindering my plans of having a better future? Or Should I confess to Anya about everything or keep it a secret?

Let's assume there are 2 people "Sam" and "Matt" both are 24 year olds with similar personalities (Kind, humorous, friendly) but different upbringing and life experience....
Sam is from an upper middle class family, was an average student through out his life. he dropped out of a local college where he was studying computer science and starts free lancing and day trading with money borrowed from his parents. By 24 He is passionate about his job and earns well above the average of the people of his age and eventually returned the borrowed money from his parents. He spends money liberally on somethings he likes but he still plans carefully about spending, saving and investing his money. He plans on setting up a business which would employ about 5~7 people soon.
Matt is from a poor family, he studied hard and got into a very prestigious college, where he chose to study business administration. He graduates with high grades but fails to get high paying job due to the situation in the job market so he takes up an average paying job. By 24 He works in a job he doesn't like 100% and he earns average for the people of his age. A part his income goes to pay his student loan from college and he avoids spending money on non essentials. He is saving up money to go for higher education abroad.

I think I can provide a unique perspective on how much college costs, given that I kept track of every physical dollar I spent at UC Merced.
Will list out roughly how much I spent in and around UC Merced per semester (not including tuition, Amazon, and housing) as well as some details. I hope this will give incoming freshmen a good idea on possible budgeting and guestimates as to how much stuff costs:
1st semester freshman year: $1520, I took the bus and biked to go outside for food and shopping at Raley’s/Target for groceries and essentials. Also got takeout once or twice a week. I spent more this semester than my second semester because I opted to get school supplies and a couple of things to spruce up my dorm here and there. This was on top of the campus meal plan. You likely will get tired of eating the food on campus, so buying frozen food or food in town is definitely worth it. Also I think $200 of this might be from adding funds to my paypal, and that was used for mostly non-essentials.
2nd semester freshman year: $940 Biked around town a lot more compared to taking the bus. Eats up a lot of time so I went out when I had time 1-3x a week. There’s a kitchen in some dorms, so buying ingredients once in a while to experiment college cooking is nice. I cheaped out to a certain extent, like I went out but I tried to stay away from meat when grocery shopping… steak is good, but I didn’t wanna touch raw meat, freaks me out. Eating vegetarian saves a lot of money. Also got hooked on food truck food on campus, would get a $11 order nearly every tuesday from a Chinese food truck. Tastes better than the cafeteria food and had nice people. Meal plan comes with $80+ of CAT dollars, or campus money, you can use it in stores or food trucks on campus, which sorta negates food truck costs to a certain extent.
3rd semester: sophomore $1760. I moved off campus into an apartment building called Merced Station. At the time, living there was cheaper than dorming on campus. Rent should still be comparable, but you can get an apartment easily 4x bigger than a dorm room with kitchen, fridge, and tv included for roughly the same cost. Had to go grocery shopping a lot more, but roommates who went to costco and split the costs of eggs and stuff helped keep things really cheap ($1760 seems like a lot, but this is without having to pay for a meal plan on campus $2000+ per year)

Please make dua for me that I pass this semester and I don’t fail out of school inshallah.
I am struggling with school right now. no one knows that I am on academic probation based on the grades I got last semester. I had a lot going on - caretaking for a sick relative as well as not understanding all the work that goes into it as it’s my first year of grad school.
I really tried my hardest this semester and I need to get a certain GPA to stay in school. I have received one grade, which is a C -, on an exam which i really thought I did well on (grades are based off one exam). I have faith in Allah and his plan that what is meant to happen will happen - but I am scared because I don’t want to fail out of school and disappoint my parents or be embarrassed by it.
I am trying really hard to hold on to the faith of Allah’s plan but it’s getting very difficult - especially after seeing this grade. If this is what I got on a class I did well on, I can’t imagine what I got on the other exams I had to take when a family member passed. I don’t even remember or can even comprehend how I did on those exams.
I am truly so scared but am trying so hard at the same time to trust Allah. At the end of the day, what god has planned for me will happen; but I think i’m scared that if what is khayr (good) for me isn’t staying in school that I would be heartbroken and wouldn’t know how to handle it. Despite the fact that I know that I wholeheartedly know that Allah is the best of planners.
I guess I need dua’s and maybe advice on how to not only know that Allah is the best of planners and that what is meant to happen will but also how to TRUST it. Because to me it seems like I want what is best for me, but I already have an idea of what I think is best for me.

Hello everyone,
I need advice for what to do in regards to starting a career in my industry which is international relations or getting into academia whether as a professor or into administration. For context, I am 27 and earned my Bachelor's degree in 2019 in the US then I decided to pursue my Master's degree in St Petersburg, Russia due to spending my sophomore year (2016-2017) studying abroad in Russia. I started my program in 2021 and then graduated last summer with my Master's being in Russian Regional Studies. I wanted to work with international companies who were possibly interested in expanding into the Russian market, but due to the current political situation that plan went out the window. During my time abroad I hosted and taught English at Conversational Language Clubs and later an English school. My Russian is also at a B1 level but I love the Russian language so I still practice it and desire to eventually reach fluency.
I've currently been back living with my parents since September 2023 and have tried looking for jobs to start my career. I'm interested in administrative work/teaching in academia. In terms of industry jobs, I'm interested in project management and regional development jobs and also considering the possibility of working in the energy sector as my master's thesis was about Russia's Energy Market and Trade Prospects in Asia. I would really however, love to live and work abroad if possible as well so locating internationally is something I have a strong desire for as well. My lack of a car is an issue as well so my focus has been on cities that have strong public transportation systems.
In terms of my resume, the only work experience I have is the English teaching and conversational club host experience I listed above. In terms of skills, my Russian is a B1 level, I have strong research and analysis skills, managing large groups of up to 20 people thanks to running a conversational English club, some lesson and topic planning experience and organizational skills in hosting and teaching whether that be creating a orderly structure for each meeting or ensuring everyone was engaged in the discussions.
I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had for anything because the friends I've made have been some of the most incredible people that I have ever met. At the same time, I know my lack of relevant work experience in industry is an issue. I have talked to my university and they helped me with my LinkedIn profile as well as my resume and have been using major sites like LinkedIn, Indeed and Handshake to look for job postings but so far no luck.
Do you have any advice for where I should look next? I feel lost and spend several hours a day looking for an entry level job that will get my foot in the door and jump start my career. If anyone who has been in a similar position as me, how did you break into the industry or academia? Or did you do something completely different?

I’m going to visit a property again that has just come back on the market with a new estate agent after 7 months with another. It’s on for too much but I’m hoping the seller is more amenable to recognising this now the equivalent end of terrace the other end of the street has just gone STC.
My main concern with this house is the layout. It has a second bathroom downstairs and a WC + shower in the lounge. The kitchen is in the middle of the house, due to an extension at some point. That extension was around 90% of the width of the property creating a mostly sealed off courtyard centre which is where the drains are I guess. I’d like to “square off” the ground floor and move the kitchen and remove the additional bathroom to create an open plan ground floor. My questions are would this be possible? I suspect the drains are all in this patio area. Can they be moved without serious expense? Any idea on cost of that sort of work?
The house that has just gone STC didn’t have these quirks /differences and has converted the roof into a large double dormer creating a large 2nd floor and has a basement was still 15% less than the guide price of this of this property so unless they accept an under offer I’m probably going to leave it but to work out my limit if like to consider the cost of the work too.

I plan on going to the week 4 game against the Chargers. The area I want to sit in is currently in the $700 a seat range. That would be like 2nd level mid-field... Is that a typical price for those seats, or will they come down in price in a month or two?
Also bonus question, if my kid wanted to see taylor swift, what section would I want to sit in at SoFi stadium? :D

We have an 8 year old 2nd grade student that has ADHD, anxiety, depression, early childhood trauma, sensory processing disorder, lower IQ/some executive function concerns and some autistic characteristics, but no diagnosis. He has an IEP with academic and social emotional supports.
For a recent field trip, he failed to bring home the permission slip to get his parent’s signature to be allowed to go on the field trip. The team has told them that the natural consequence of not bringing the signed permission slip back is that he had to miss the field trip.
The parents want additional supports put in place or different communication methods used to ensure information gets home. The team feels the student should hold this responsibility and suffer the natural consequences when the task is not completed.
Thoughts?

My name is XXX, and I am a Freshman majoring in a BS for ECET, I’ve been informed of my upcoming academic suspension for the Fall Semester. I take full responsibility for my inadequate grades and my consistent shortcomings. I am writing this to convey that I want to continue pursuing my passion at NJIT, regardless of any obstacles in the future.
Again, I do not want to make any excuses for my poor performance this is entirely my fault, but please allow me to give further context. When I began my journey at NJIT, I was under the belief that I could manage many responsibilities all at once, and I soon realized that it does not work that way. Since the Fall Semester of last year, while attending classes I have also started to work at a part-time warehouse job to support my mother, we’ve been facing some economic hardships prior and I did not want her to be left taking care of rent and utilities all by herself, so I was obligated to contribute. Although this semester has been better in terms of maintaining a schoolwork balance, I am aware that this has not been enough, and I have taken measures to fix this. Alongside this, throughout these past two semesters, I’ve been facing some deep-seated mental problems that I have not been attempting to look for assistance with because of my then-warped belief that I would be considered “weak” for doing so, I didn’t want to ask for help. Therapists in the past have concluded that I have high-functioning Autism but both me and my parents did not want to go further with an official evaluation because of the stigma that might bring such a diagnosis. Although I’ve always had difficulties in communication and social cues, it was made apparent during the fall semester, which caused me to fall into a spiral. I had to withdraw from a class and retake several classes for the spring semester. I want help with this, it’s been difficult for me to come to terms with this condition and the communication issues I’ve dealt with in the past and which I’m still dealing with, but I don’t want it to affect my life negatively any further, I don’t ask for pity or to be treated any differently.
This spring semester has been better, to say the least. I did attend most of the PACE workshops and some tutoring whenever I had the time, although I wasn’t able to register for PACE itself due to me not communicating efficiently with my advisor, which was a mistake on my end. My friends and I formed study groups revolving around Calculus and Physics to improve on our fundamentals, which has worked for me for the latter. Around March, I began to reevaluate the choices I’d made throughout the fall semester. I feel like I was being ungrateful towards my loved ones and that I was letting them down. That revelation was cemented when my first cousin tragically took his own life around that time. Me and him were fairly close, and even after I left Ecuador after a long visit, we still kept in touch. He told me about how he wasn’t content with how his life was going and was rooting for me to pursue my passions even with the aforementioned difficulties, it struck hard. I did grieve, but in my perspective, to uphold his legacy and to go further it was important for me to pursue what I love even with any possible obstacles. I started to study 2 hours a day, which surely did help me in Physics & AutoCAD. Alongside that, I began to take fewer hours of work for me to focus more on classwork and presentations. My manager has been extremely helpful in circumventing many of the obstacles I’ve been dealing with, and for that, I’ve improved massively compared to the Fall semester. My mental state has improved, and although I’m still facing social difficulties, it’s manageable. Although I’ve passed all the classes that I failed last semester, I wasn’t able to pass Calculus II and therefore I wasn’t able to reach Good Standing. It’s saddening, to say the least, I am aware of the consequences and I do intend to make changes should I come back in the Fall.
My plan goes as follows, to ensure academic success I’ve decided to take much fewer hours at work and to save up throughout this summer so my expenses for the fall semester can be fully covered. My intentions for this summer semester were to retake Calculus II and to do Economics, if I do appeal I will continue to go through with it. She’s reassured me that with her new work bonus as a Teacher Assistant, I don’t have to be worried about our situation as much and that my priority at this moment should be to study. I’ll be communicating more often with my Academic Advisor about any possible financial help and ways to boost my GPA. As for me, I have decided to start scheduling appointments with C-CAPS as a way to help me improve my state of mind, and after careful consideration with my mother, we’ll be going to a psychologist by the end of this month for a possible diagnosis to get proper treatment. I do intend to start involving myself more in some capacity when it comes to student life, and I will continue to attend club meetings as much as I can, as I was previously doing so back in the Fall Semester with SHPE. I will be more proactive with my teachers, and I do have full intentions of being more responsible with maintaining a schoolwork balance.
I hope you can take all of this into consideration, this has been an egregious error of mine but I do want to set things right. I am a good student who simply didn’t prioritize everything in my mind, and for that, I sincerely apologize. In my college admissions letter back in Senior Year I made a promise to myself and to the faculty who accepted me that I would do my best to triumph at NJIT, and although I have had a rocky start, I want to dedicate these years in succeeding at the field of engineering. Thank you for considering this appeal, I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely, XXX

Hey guys to make it quick I’m a HS senior and I was accepted to a Penn State commonwealth campus (Behrend). It’s a good campus for business and I can participate in the 2+2 program. My career aspirations are high finance in NYC. Not only IB but sales/trading, risk management, PE, HF…
I’m here to ask what you guys think about a gap year and in my situation. I’ve been thinking about taking a gap and applying to schools like Rutgers, Baruch, SMU… where it’s overall a better school and they have more opportunities like rutgers quantitative economics or the ability to double major in finance and stats.
I ended last year with around a 3.5 gpa and my grades are trending upwards for the most part (British Lit killing me 😛) and a little above an 1100 SAT. No ECs outside of FBLA this year placing 1st in states.
During the gap year I plan on starting as a universal float at a bank nearby (teller atp). I also plan on pursuing trading futures and learning more about algorithmic trading but idk if this contributes to anything unless I start a million dollar prop shop and put it on my resume 🙈.
So do you guys think I should take a gap year? Are these realistic schools? What schools would I get accepted to that would give me better opportunites?

Hello, I really wanted to upgrade my current GPU (RTX 4060) in the near future once I finish upgrading my PC. Seeing 2nd hand sellers posts on Facebook such as Peanut PC, Doffy Worx PC as well as Murang GPU ELITE EDITION are my top picks at the moment, and I am really planning to get the RX 6800XT or RX 6750XT to be the least.
Though at the moment, still sketchy since this would be my first time attempting to get a 2nd-hand component for my PC as well as shipping it from Luzon to Mindanao (as where I live) is such a long travel and afraid that it will take some damage upon arrival.
Any experience to any of this shops? Anyone who can vouch for these shops? Thank you!

These protests have not met the quality expected of you from your fellow students and the institution itself. All my midterms were held in person, and you all have done NOTHING to prevent this from occurring. Rumors spread of the grand display that would send UCLA reeling; but instead, Supreme Emperor Gene Block laughed at Monday’s weak dmonstration. I urge you to rally your ranks and prevent history from repeating itself in these coming weeks; finals are you’re LAST chance to show solidarity with my failing grades. The Galactic TA Committee has also made tremendous efforts to assist with their plans to dispatch a surprise strike. Do not squander the work of your comrades.

Hello! I need help finding this video. When I was in 1st or 2nd grade, I remember watching a video where there was a pencil flying slowly around a room with a face on the eraser. He would sing a song too! He would say “hello, to pencil power” and then the video would be about some sort of phonics. I remember one of them being about a girl named Kate. The song lives rent free in my head but nothing comes up in google when I search “hello to pencil power”. Please, anyone who knows what this is, tell me!! 😂
