2024.05.29 05:00 MCSmashFan I want to do post secondary, to do IT but I don't have enough high school education what should I do? Should I aim for GED? or get aim for high school diploma?
Hey, so I'm 19 years old living in Canada Ontario, and the reason why I don't have enough school education it's cuz the fact that they placed me in special education cuz of my autism, which I think it was a huge mistake for my school team to do this, as they kept me at low grade level over the years :/ I really would like to do IT career like become an IT specialist as I'm passionate with tech, but I do believe I would need at least a high school diploma or equivalent. If I were to continue high school I would have to spend another 3 - 4 years to get all of the credits that I need an order to graduate. So should I just aim to get a GED?

2024.05.29 04:59 These_Helicopter6298 Premed to optometry- looking for advice
Hi everyone. I graduated last year with a bio major and 3.9 GPA. I took the MCAT my senior year and studied hard and ended up scoring quite well in the 99th percentile/522. I applied for this last cycle and no luck for MD programs and I’m interested in optometry.
I know many schools accept the mcat, however I’ve seen some people say it’s still better to take the OAT. Given my score would it be okay to just use the MCAT?
Also, given the time frame is it feasible for me to do some shadowing and apply to optometry schools this cycle or should I wait? I’d be open to working as a tech for a year but I don’t want to delay my schooling further if it isn’t necessary as I’ve already taken one gap year

2024.05.29 04:58 sourfruiteater $170,000 in DEBT advice PLEASE
Hello everybody,
I have an amazing beautiful smart girlfriend who I met while we were both in school. I’m so glad she moved super far to attend a private university near me because otherwise I would have never met her. This being said, as somebody who was privileged enough to graduate with very little debt and receive a well paying degree, I can’t help but view her financial situation as a nightmare.
She has about $170,000 in debt, she graduated with a bachelor of arts degree. Yes you heard that right.
She managed to find a job that will pay about $70,000 for the first year (so awesome of her given the degree she got).
She will for sure have enough to pay her expenses because of this, as we live in a place with a lower cost of living. However, a massive portion of these loans are private, from a couple different loan providers, this is on top of her federal loans. This means she will have nearly $1700 a month in loan expenses and from what I’ve seen she is essentially gaining $1000 a month in interest.
How is it even possible for her to pay this off in a way that isn’t crippling? I convinced her to get a credit card last year cause I assume she has to build credit and refinance ASAP, but I’m hearing it’s hard to do that? I really want to give her good advice, because our support networks are not accustomed to issues like this. Please help. Thank you so much.

2024.05.29 04:54 micromanagementU Just starting this student loan minefield
My daughter will be a college freshman this year. She has a combination of athletic and academic scholaships but will have to come up with a maximum of $17,000 for two semesters. It's probably more like $10,000 but we have to wait for more scholaship info to come in.
Where do I start looking for a loan?
Between classes and athletics I doubt she'll work when classes are in session. She works now and has some savings.
I applied as a cosigner to a state plan and was denied due to my 720 credit score. WTH? I know to not go to Sallie Mae, but what else is out there? My husband and I told her we can't/won't take money out of our retirement and she will be responsible for loans.
She hopes to be an RA in her sophomore year to avoid paying for dorm and food. My other daughter commuted and went to state school so she will have about $20,000 when she graduates next semester.

2024.05.29 04:51 GasLeak- Any online/virtual middle school recommendations? (NY)
I am looking into online schools for my 13 year old who will be starting 8th grade in September.
My son has always attended public school but in recent/ middle school years has been getting bullied quite severely. He has gone as far to express he wants to end his life and begs to be homeschooled. We have sought intensive therapy, by my heart breaks for him and I do not want to put him through another year of this. Despite many attempts and requests on my part, there has been no action from the school to assist. I am told my son is doing well because “his grades are excellent!”
My son thrives academically, and is in advanced STEM and gifted learning for all subjects. He achieves consistent A’s, however, he does have Autism and requires very clear direction & expectations.
I do have some flexibility and availability to ensure his is completing his work, but I am looking for an online program for him to attend primary. I am a single mom with a heavy work schedule.
Can you recommend any resources that might work for us? Thank you in advance!!

2024.05.29 04:51 Aggressive-Force7963 This is my take, Can I join the cause?
Hi Canadians, please deport anyone who is not contributing or adopting to Canadian culture. I am an Indian immigrant came in 2021. Completed my diploma and right now working as a systems analyst.
I get embarrassed af cause these people not only ruin their image, and my image but they are also ruining Canadas image. Now I may not be perfect but I love the fact about how we treat people here and I have seen the shift from being nice people to pissed off citizens.
Honestly, this shouldn’t even be a issue as there should be proper criteria’s for amount of immigration from a country and level of education with skilled labor laws implemented.
Most of the countries have implemented this and yes including India, which is bizarre cause there are many including me here.
Canada is paying Indians to send people here.
If I go to a career counsellor in India and ask them which field should I opt for. 6 out of 10 will say immigrate to another country and then hand you few options for agents and as you young and naive as every 16-18 year old is you do what you counsellor said. Moving forward it’s easy to immigrate here and everyone gets paid except the student and all this is because government can earn few bucks of cheap labor. This again effects Canada’s culture and heritage and moreover due to all mass immigration of idiots who don’t know how to write and read, Canadians are forced to resort to stereotypes and racism.
I myself never faced racism, in my opinion if I am nice everyone should be nice. These people buy business here and then sponsor there knowns to Canada and pay them shit wages due to which a high school graduate can’t get a fucking part time job cause some 35 year old needs to work at Tim Hortons.
The fact that we are not deporting someone who’s here on study visa when that person is at 30 or above of age speaks a lot. By 30 either you should have enough experience to travel wherever you want. Or just stay wherever tf you are.
I am sorry if I have offended anyone and feel free to ask me any questions.
At the end I would say- if you are going for immigration allow skilled workers to come to Canada and students from reputed schools from any country. Immigration should be of people with education and skills and not for people with arrogance, rudeness, low self care and with no care of others. Please and thank you.

2024.05.29 04:50 deepad9 My back's up against the wall and I have no choice but to go to grad school
Six months of very intense job searching since I graduated in December have yielded nothing. I've sent out over 550 job applications. As a humanities major, I have no choice but to go to law school even though my passion isn't in it. I'll do well on the LSAT and get the biggest scholarship I can for a Tier 2 or Tier 3.
"Nooo you can't just go to law school if your passion isn't in it! That's not how it works! Being a lawyer sucks!" Please tell me what else I can do in order to get stable, white-collar employment. Be my guest.
I always dreamed of having an email job, but clearly that's never going to happen. Even recruiters hiring for mediocre, low-level administrative positions won't give my resume a second look. So I guess I'm asking all of you, did you ever go to grad school to escape a horrendous job market? How did that serve you? And what other grad schools should I consider besides law?

So me and a friend are having a bit of a argument right now and whenever this happens he spams ai images of "(insert my username or name of my oc's)(insert bad situation)" and I no longer want him to do it since it makes me feel uncomfortable esspecly since he going on about how I'm so rude and antagonistic yet dose this at the slightest sence of me raising getting even remotely angry at something. Worst part is he decided to do this right before my high school graduation like this couldn't wait till after.

2024.05.29 04:46 Ok_Score_5897 It’s over for me
This will be a lengthy post/vent.
Hello. I have a UTM life sci conditional offer that I must have a FINAL overall average by June 30 2024. Not meeting these conditions will cause my offer to be withdrawn.
I’m not worried about the 78%. I have an 86-87 average. My issue is that I don’t think I’ll complete my courses on time.
I already have an OSSD. I graduated high school last year and I am doing ILC for prerequisites and to boost my average.
I can easily complete my 3 courses ASAP, it’s just that because ILC takes forever to mark assignments I am basically cooked. I didn’t realize the whole process of marking, scheduling exam, requesting transcripts, etc. Would be so long. I also thought I had more time since I am a 105 student, but I guess since they removed 105 students from OUAC (starting this year), my deadlines are looped in with the 101 students who are in still in high school and supposed to graduate June 30th.
Assuming ILC takes their absolute MAXIMUM sweet time (which they most likely will), with the amount of assignments left, I could be fully finished 1st or 2nd week of July. (If by some miracle they actually take 3 business days like they say they do then I could be done by June 30th for sure)
I emailed ILC asking to mark some of my stuff faster but I doubt they’ll do it or even see my email. They never answer their phones or emails. I emailed UofT admissions, they told me the same thing in my acceptance letter. I have to meet my conditions and if not, I could request an appeal if I get rejected, but approval of course is not guaranteed.
I’ve been frantically googling other people in this situation and most people were lucky enough to get a generous extension from their university. The unfortunate ones had to apply the next cycle (I cannot afford to do this). Unfortunately UofT has a stick up their ass and doesn’t give a shit I guess.
Ive already taken a gap year. I cannot afford to waste any more time. I’m really sad and disappointed. I worked really hard in my ILC classes, balancing a nearly full course load and a job and other responsibilities. I’ve been such a try hard too, getting 98-100’s on essays, 95+ on math assignments, I even have a 100% in my elective course.
I put a lot of effort and time into my work because I also actually want to learn and I care about my grades. I want to prepare as much as I can for university. I’m not using ILC to get quick easy grades by cheating or half-assing. I wish schools would be more understanding. I didn’t foresee this predicament but oh well.
If you actually read all of this thanks & good luck with your post-secondary studies!

2024.05.29 04:45 TheSharkBaite My therapist isn't helping so be my soundboard please.
I'm so sorry for the long post but I've been trying to figure out how to word this. I also thought this was the best place to discuss this because you all know what this journey is like and I need to know if I'm just all in my head about it. If this isn't the right place let me know where I can go, and if I offend anyone please know that is not my intention.
Long story short, during our first ER I decided to apply to grad school. This February I found out I got in! This was a huge accomplishment because I'm the first in my family to graduate from a university and also to get into a grad program. Our plan is to wait until after I complete my program to do a transfer. We have enough embyros banked, which I won't say the number because I don't want to sound braggy, that I feel confident we have a good chance of at least a child. But I'm still guarded.
The problem is, I feel like I'm running out of time to have kids. Which feels incredibly stupid because I'm only 29. My partner and I have also decided that I would be a stay at home mom. So here's where another issue comes in; we've spent a lot of money already in hopes of having children, then grad school in $80,000 + interest. Grad school would allow me to possibly work from home if I choose to, but it almost feels pointless if that isn't guaranteed. I could potentially go later (5+ years) but I won't have the connections I have now to do the research I want to do.
I feel stuck. And I'm not asking you guys to solve my issues but I'd like to hear any experiences. Or thoughts, or red flags, or whatever. I want both of these things now, and there's absolutely no way I could do both right now, that is our hard line. But how in the world am I supposed to choose which one?

2024.05.29 04:43 Suspicious-Ram Help with dating/info on these chairs - Chinese?
 | My sister gifted me these. The farthest history I have on them is that she and her husband owned the Kahalu’u Gallery & Gardens on Oahu, created by Hiroshi Tagami and formerly known as Tagami & Powell Gallery & Gardens. I’ve seen photos of the gallery during their ownership and the antiques were stunning. This set of chairs, and an embroidered screen are all they kept when they sold the property. The construction of these is beautiful and they appear to have once had a lovely red finish that has aged with time. I hate to part with them, but I’m in a massive downsize move. Any info would help me to know how best to find them a new home. submitted by Suspicious-Ram to Antiques [link] [comments] |
2024.05.29 04:41 slo707 Literally just graduated and was asked for rates HELP
Hello! I just graduated with my BFA in Graphic Design and have been offered an opportunity to design a billboard rather unexpectedly. The opportunity is the result of a referral from work I did for a design sprint in school. It’s a rather small billboard and builds on a community logo I created for the neighborhood it will reside in.
The timeline - soon (getting specifics is impossible) The budget - affordable (?)
I asked if they had a budget to consider in an attempt to get them to give me a better idea of expectations but they were really not being open about it.
Considerations: This is a non-profit. They quite possibly expected I’d to still be a student when reaching out. I want to be very reasonable in my pricing. The person who reached out to me is also highly connected in the world of design. I can’t stress enough how much the potential to create connections is.
Workflow: I’d likely present 3ish directions after doing some visual research specific to the client and site. Then iterate one. I’d prepare the file to print in conjunction with a their chosen printing service. At least this is my thinking.
Also: I have time blindness (ADHD). Estimating time is really impossible for me. Providing an hourly rate concerns me for that reason
I told them I’d get back to them in 24 hours. How much do I quote?
Bonus if you can offer sources for sample contracts. I never intended to work for myself, this just fell out of the sky, and I was taught none of the business side of the industry.

2024.05.29 04:40 PrototypeMac Admin hindering my career regarding mentorship hours
Teacher in NYS. Received my initial certificate in 2021. Started teaching that September. I am now in year 3 and switching schools for better pay. In NYS, to receive professional certification, you need 30 hours of logged mentorship. This was never told to me, never described to me. I did my mentorship with my mentor, did all the feedback, reflection etc. typical 1st year teacher stuff.
As I will be applying for professional certification come December when I graduate from my masters program, I need those 30 hours of logged mentorship submitted to NYS. I am now trying to backtrack those hours, and see if enough people can pull strings to get 30 hours I did back in 2021 into NYS Teach account so I can get certified.
This is typical school admin miscommunication behavior. Lost messaging. What sucks is that no one is even trying to help. With the lack of accountability in my admin, everyone is pointing fingers which definitely doesn't help me lol. I get it i probably should have known to record those hours, but the way it was described to me way back when was the mentorship would be very informal, and actually it needs to be on this specific form on this specific web page with specific descriptions of your mentorship interaction. The unfortunate thing is also my mentor was supposed to get paid and never got paid. My union is aware of this is actively trying to help. Any other advice, ideas feedback would be appreciated!

Graduating high school this sunday, and i'm just wondering if there's anything i should prepare for before i go. It's been a dream of mine for as long as i can remember. any tips on how to get through it would be great. also, i'm currently working as a line cook so i've got about a year's worth of real restaurant experience if that's any help at all.

2024.05.29 04:39 SlimeSpree Review with pics! Library of Slime/Pink Sugar Slimey/Oh my Slime/Lime Slime co.
 | Today a look at four slime stores. Let's go! submitted by SlimeSpree to Slime [link] [comments] The Library of Slime https://preview.redd.it/ben8h6qut93d1.jpg?width=2769&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b183e6946cb0f465ddd29bd309821ae1527c472d A wide range of prices from £4-12 depending on size and they also do bundles. The sizes range from 2-6oz. Beautifully designed waterproof labels. The box was very well packaged with foam peanuts to protect the contents and the utterly stunning glass slime jars had nice honeycomb cardboard protectors around them. Even the charms were beautifully packaged with one being in a little canvas bag. Included was a mini lemon hand towelette (what a great touch!) a card telling me my packaging is eco friendly (lovely to know) and a cute bookmark care card with a super sweet note on it. Upon unpacking, I found that Eliora (the head librarian 😁) had including an incredibly thoughtful gift in the way of delicious, high quality chocolate from a little company that shares my name! In the note it was mentioned that this was especially ordered just for me on account of being the first international customer 🥲 I was so deeply touched by this! It says a lot about the customer service and just how much care is put into customer satisfaction and enjoyment. The library/book aesthetic of the entire web-store and the slimes/jars is just spectacular. I have so much appreciation for slime stores who clearly put so much thought and love into everything they do, it really is a magical experience. One thing I love about slime is how it affords us the ability to turn our thoughts off and indulge in something that taps straight into our primal pleasure center, allowing us to leave the stresses and responsibilities of the world for a while. The library theme and how beautifully it’s all pulled off ramps that experience up for me. All I’ve done so far is open the box and I already feel like I’ve taken a trip to a whimsical bookstore in some Harry Potter-esq universe! 😆 I think they may also be the only slime store to use glass jars which makes them feel very high end.
I was worried I may have a struggle getting this slime out the jar but it slipped out into my hand nice and politely. It was a tiny bit sticky at first but a couple of puffs of activator sorted that out completely. The slime was very dense and super stretchy. It was very resistant but also very elastic and bouncy with no ripping. As you stretched you could feel the sand brush across your fingers but there was very little in the way of sand fallout. This has some unreal crackly sizzles when you inflate and then squeeze it. The crackles just keep coming and coming the more you squeeze. It does inflate a lot calling for a second jar for the excess. The packaging is stunning and, equally, so is the slime!
These look like real potatoes, they're utterly uncanny!! https://preview.redd.it/sytwljg8v93d1.jpg?width=1356&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e8054f16d8493babc8fa4a78b4329fa76f221b0

The essential oil scents were some of the classiest and most nuanced I have experienced, the textures are super entertaining, interesting and well made. I absolutely adored the clay potatoes which were mind bendingly realistic! The mini book charms are an amazing touch. This store really blurs the lines between art and sensory product. I have a love/hate relationship with the glass jars. On one hand they are very beautiful and make the product feel so special, it wasn’t hard to get the slime out of them in the least. On the other it is harder to get the slime back in the jar. I was having issues with air pockets and the narrower mouths. Of course it inflated a fair bit so usually I just put them in new jars of my own but I loved the aesthetic of the library jars and really wanted to get some slime back in there. I very tied because I wouldn’t want the library to swap to plastic but the glass does make things tricky. All in all I can’t wait to see what's in the next restock and had SO much fun visiting the library's beautiful and profoundly whimsical little world! We are always seeking for a new and novel experience when it comes to slime and this provides just that! 9.9/10 ............... Pink Sugar Slimey £11-13 for 7oz. Came very well packaged in super cute pink heart and white foam chips. Included is little organza bag with care card, activator and delicious lychee hard candy. The labels are not waterproof.

Clearly, a lot of love and attention go into these slimes. Personally I found them to be a little on the loose side and a bit tricky to activate. It can be hard to ascertain whether this is by design or due to the warmer weather now we have hit the summer months. I always go for the fastest international shipping to minimise issues with melting and the slimes go in the fridge for 15-30 minutes prior to play. I am very much on board with Momo, Pilot, OG and others who slightly overactive their slime to avoid this. While I enjoy the odd jiggly slay, I prefer my slimes to be on the more holdable side so this is something I will keep in mind in future with Pink Sugar. Nonetheless these scents were spectacular and the thicker textures lovely! Waterproof labels would be a strong preference of mine, I did manage to get slime on one or two of these labels while photographing and that is always a real shame. 9.1/10 ...... Oh My Slime (Singapore) Came with borax, a care card and a couple of candies. Slimes come in 6 or 8oz for between around $10-14. The jars have anti leak inner caps which is a great shout. I hate opening the box to discover slime leaks and this keeps things so much tidier! The labels are nicely designed and waterproof.

It would have been less disappointing if the quality of the slimes was low and the scents/aesthetics mediocre. I would have understood if all the slimes were all the way in one direction or the other activation-wise but it was super weird to get one perfect slime (water slime no less, a typically temperamental texture) and the rest either totally deactivated or wildly over-activated to the point of being unstretchable. In light of this I am really scratching my head over giving Oh My Slime a rating that fairly represents their concoctions. I just got done reactivating slimes that arrived with me in a liquid state and it took a good 12 hours for them to settle into the consistency I like. Personally hate touching totally melted slime, it really gives me the ick which is amongst the many reasons why I have no wish to make my own slime. I keep my slime in a chiller so this is not typically an issue I commonly have as I go in with activator long before they turn back to glue. I would reactivate some of my favourites if they melted down slightly over time but I just lost heart for these sadly. I hear from a friend that their slays and clays are much better. On this occasion 6/10 on account of the great water slime and all the other redeemable factors such as jars/designs/excellent scents but I only had one slime I could play with out of the whole batch so I don’t think I will return with any enthisiasm. MAYBE for another thick water slime. ............ Lime Slimes Company Comes with care card and Borax. Waterproof labels with a lovely aesthetic. The jars are 8oz and priced from £12.15 to £15.39. Link to my previous review here.
Other than the tackiness, it was a nice and puffy, inflatable snow fizz with plenty of soft sizzles, soft finger, pokes, and soft pops. https://preview.redd.it/4vrlogvrz93d1.jpg?width=5827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95baa8b8379cf8b040c355770b4dbfe4203fbe74

I don’t much like judging a slime that I have reconstituted nearly from scratch as it’s hard to know if it’s as the creator intended. That having been said, it is a very nice, creamy thickie with medium gloss. Lovely to pop and full of crackles. It has tiny bits of red flocking in it for a very pretty strawberry pulp effect. Top left is how it arrived. Top right is where I managed to get it to with activator (still sticky by rippy.) Bottom left is after it rested overnight. Much better but still not quite as great as my previous Oui which I bought a month ago (an up to date picture of that on the bottom right.) I am so tied over Lime Slimes. I love their scents and themes and when they are good they are great. However, this is not the first completely liquified slime I have received from them and it very much spoils the experience for me. Reading your reviews on this sub I see that I am not alone in having this issue with them but it seems to be quite hit and miss. I know they come from California so I would hazard a guess that the issue happens during shipping due to the heat, I doubt these left them in this condition. I always pay for the fastest international shipping to prevent this issue occurring and most slimes arrive with me in 2-4 days. The only completely melted US slimes I have received have been from Lime Slimes, I’ve never had anything more than a slightly tacky surface that calls for a squirt of activator from other US companies. Once again, I can only reiterate how much I appreciate it when a slime leaves a store a little over-activated! I hate rating slimes which are melted as it’s not really a representation of what the creator intended. I do love Lime's Oui line when not melted and may chance buying another one if a particularly interesting scent is released when mine dies but, ultimately, I won’t be returning to Lime Slimes Co. with any gusto, which is a real shame. I really feel drawn to them as I really love the themes, presentation, aesthetic and scents generally. However, it’s a very important factor to me that I receive my slimes in a play-ready condition as I hate having to reactivate them (to a texture that may not be quite right) and the feeling of sticky mess on my hands 6.5/10 ......... Thank you for reading! I'll be back soon to review Audeez and more Mythical Mushbunny, Rodem and Momo! Feel free to give me a follow so you don't miss the review 🩵😊 |
2024.05.29 04:38 stickerstacker Ideas?
When I was 16, my paternal grandmother gave me a gorgeous hard-bound copy of Jane Eyre as a gift.
I’m heartbroken to report that I lost the book, along with many other treasures over the years. I hadn’t even come close to reading it.
I wasn’t able to participate meaningfully in school because I had undiagnosed ADHD. I was basically on another planet and I remember being very confused by the gift. I was gracious but I didn’t get the joke.
A few years ago I listened to the audio book and I was absolutely haunted by the gesture. Just flooded. Turns out there was a ton of secret adultery happening by her sons (my father and my uncle) that i didn’t find out until much later.
Anyway why do you think someone would give their teenage granddaughter Jane Eyre as a sweet sixteen? Any opinions? Thoughts? 👀

2024.05.29 04:37 Spooneater69 AITAH For saying a girl won a speech competition out of pity?
Ok so, I am in the eigth grade and our school does a mini eighth grade “graduation ceremony” for our transition into highschool. Part of this event is three people from eighth grade giving a speech to the student body and parents. I decided to submit my speech and I believe that I did impeccable in my audition, I was able to look up and give eye contact, was able to be breviloquent when reading, and my voice projected enough even without the mic.
After delivering the speech to my homeroom class and the judges I sat down and listened to the next speech. The next speech was by a girl who was infact, dyslexic. She was unable to look up at the crowd and even had to be REMINDED to pause during periods. It was to my utter disgust and trepidation that the dyslexic girl was chosen to deliver the speech.
I just was at a complete loss I what I could’ve possibly did wrong, I had more achievements such as volunteering at a nursing home, being head of student council, being in the gifted program, having the highest MAP testing score, and being chosen to write letters thanking a foundation for donating to my school. Besides I am far better at reading and writing than anybody in our school, even my homeroom teacher said that I am to the entire class!
So I was rather upset by being beaten by someone with a disability and turned to my friend to tell her I believed that this girl was chosen “Out of pity because shes disabled” and one of the teachers ended up pulling me aside to tell me how rude and disrespectful it was that I said that, and said they needed to pick someone who has a harder time to “be inclusive”. I just don’t understand why they couldn’t include someone who can read properly, I mean I know way more about literature than she does! She couldn’t name a classic that wasn’t taught in school, like when I attempted to speak to her about the novel Catch-22.
