Rant About Whatever

[Goretex_Vidal]

like how tf does this lady have a job? I feel like I should be taking atleast 12-18 probably more like 15? Three credits are a Fsem for god sake. Also highkey pissed my college pre calc and intro calc transferred and exempted me from Pre Calc there but I scored 1 pt to low on the Calc entry exam to take it. So now I have to wait for second semester Pre Calc because even tho the registrars office thinks I’m ready for Calc. The 19/30 and not 20/30 is telling the math department otherwise? like sorry I was told to take a proctored test with no warning, studying or anything but pen and paper. No Calculator or anything. But some fuckwr in the math department says they won’t make an exception even tho my athletic advisor, and dean are trying to get me into calc so I can get another 4 credits and fill the massive gap in my schedule.

legit insane to me my parents can be paying this much for school. Just to be waitlisted, unable to enroll, or have classes full needed for a major or minor Pre Requisite. So they have me taking fluff classes, partially because My Biology, Microbio, Chem, Comp Sci credits all had labs and transferred along with english and Environmental sciences. So there’s a lot of Gen Ed’s I have the credits for, so no point in taking again is what i’m told. But if I can’t get into Stats, Calc, Genetics, or Econ Principles like what am I there for? Some fun expensive electives? I wanted to take some intro/elective classes to consider other careers like genetics, health, architecture etc but if I can’t get into those because you offer zero courses and have waitlists long enough to create a second class it’s pretty pointless. Imo if a waitlist is 15 kids for a class capped at 25, there should be a second class offered due to the demand and how much people pay for school.

I ran into this situation my freshman year down to the same pop quiz math exam and my advisor trying to register me for 9 credits which would have cost me my entire financial aid package. He also put me in the wrong degree program within the same department on my paperwork which didn't get resolved until end of sophomore year because the dude just didn't show up for office hours ever. You're going to have decent professors that you like in your department so just build enough of a rapport to have them sign off on your registrations as your advisor (the chairs don't care because they know which faculty members suck at advising)

Another way to get out of the 6 year plan this goof's put you on is to just CLEP exam your way out of a bunch of the gen ed requirements. Not sure about your university's policy buy mine was so long as you passed a CLEP for a requirement before you started your senior year it counted toward credits.

I found 22-24 to be much more awkward. The first few years out of college were a weird adjusting period, especially with regards to dating. Suddenly it was a lot harder to meet people and the 22-24 year old girls right out of college mostly wanted to date 28-30 year old guys. 25-28 has made a lot more sense for me so far

This was 100% the case for me too. Went from a readily available dating pool in college, to limited interest as a recent grad.

My dating heyday was probably 26-29.

idk if it’s a gen z thing but dating or trying to hook up hasn’t been a priority or interest for me since i got outta college. got a few girls that are good friends which is nice but im never really putting myself in a situation to meet new ones and im not on the apps. doesn’t really concern me anymore/right now. just happy doin my thing

21-25 for me was a blast honestly, but then again I was surrounded by friends and family in a place I lived my whole life, so it was never hard to meet people or go do things with friends, go on dates, etc. I'm talking like this weird sorta "no mans land" part of your late 20s where you don't really relate with people younger than you but you still feel like a little baby in the eyes of people 30 and older. And then you see friends your age getting married, buying houses, starting families, etc. while you're still working for a living trying to figure out what's the next move and how to make ends meet is also strange. I'm not resentful towards them but damn I never thought my life was going to be this when I was a little kid, both in good and bad ways.

And yeah dating has been an adjustment. It seems a lot of us have had baggage over the years and don't want any fuckboy shit but at the same time aren't sure if we're ready to commit to another relationship.

got it figured out, my Dual enrollments and AP‘s got me out of pretty much every gen ed. I’m fucked outta calc either way as they didn’t accept my college intro to calc which was pre calc and the first semester of AB. So basically no gen ed’s left to take, my coaches and team mates recommended I just show up too the genetics class I want to take, sit thru lectures the first few days then approach the teacher, the rest of my classes are a joke and will just be a GPA booster they said. Plus I pay by tuition not class so they said feel free to load up if teachers or departments let me.

In addition apparently Hobart goes by Units, not Credits, each class is 1 unit no matter what even with a Lab. Sorta BS but 4 courses a semester is a full course load as you need 32 to graduate. I already have 7. So I have some leeway the coaches and team mates said. Plus i didn’t commit till the first week of august when they gave me all my money since I was recruited in july. So they think the Advisor did a ok job at scheduling considering how much i got out of and atleast some classes are sorta interesting. Hoping I can get into pre calc or retest for calc. Or take genetics or nuero bio to see if I wanna go the Bio/Pre Health route instead of econ. I’ll always have econ as a fall back

God damn every time I’ve finally recovered from a lingering injury in the last 2 years another one takes its place. Now my wrists have been feeling weird the last few weeks, not sure if it’s start of carpal tunnel or leftover overuse from mountain bike death grip

I have to go to do a stupid english exam after 4pm. Fuck me.

If I might ask...how old are you?

There comes a certain age where the injuries just linger and blend together.

Been in a similar boat, it's been like 3 years since I've been fully healthy. Be careful with the wrists, it's a really nasty thing to deal with when you work with computers full time. I've had some tendonitis in both my wrists for 3 years now. Feel free to DM if it continues to give you grief, I have a ton of experience with that one.

Also where do you live these days? I can't remember. I come out to CO for 2 weeks each spring, would be cool to catch some laps again with ya someday

 

[ModMommy]

Why do all women’s events have to have a weird theme why can’t we just show up and ride bikes. I don’t have themed gear and don’t want to spend money on something I’m going to be uncomfortable in.

COVID is kicking my ass! Cold sweats, vomiting, sore throat, aching back/jaw, spins, head pounding, and overall very weak.

restaraunts that add a % charge to cover emoloyee benefits are fucking stupid. All for covering employee benefits but just rail all your prices that % that way I know what to expect the bill to be.

I’m in the Denver area now! Yeah I feel like I always see you’re out here too late, lemme know when you’re headed out next time.

Think I finally found some good stretches that have been helping a lot, so we’ll see how that goes for a bit.

Finally watched the full Raygun battle and she fully does handstands and spins on her head. Seeing fat critics that are panting when they lay on the ground to try to mock is whacked. Let’s see you spin on your head fat guy

it kinda reminds me of when liz swaney made it to the olympics but that was obviously far different, she could only air out of the pipe while raygun can actually compete in the sport. respect to the breakdancing scene for essentially boycotting the olympics for trying to co-op their sport. i like them thinking that its not something that could be judged, i know similar sentiment exists in freestyle skiing

My cousin moved to his wife’s hometown in the Japanese Alps a couple months ago and we’d been talking about visiting them.

Told them about my wife’s tumor diagnosis and he hounded me to accept Jesus into my heart for like two hours via messenger and then called me, drunk, and just went on and on about Christ in a really pushy tone.

I was cordial and just deflected it because my faith is mine and mine alone but he just kept telling me about some YouTube preacher like I cared. I’d understand if it was his way of offering sympathy and prayers but it all came across as like he just wanted me to join his weird church.

So when my wife beats this it looks like we’re staying in a hotel when we go to Japan instead of with him.

Where did you find the full battle? I want to see it, because the bits I have seen also seemed... not that bad. It was certainly goofy but so was everyone else. I admittedly only watched the gold round filly to see what was up, and thought it was not all that impressive compared to other stuff you nee out there.

 

[KungKalmar]

Fuck anyone who redesigns bus schedules here. They decided to move the times 3 minutes backwards so you will miss the bus after school. Oh and they decided to make the bus go only twice per hour instead of 4 in an hour like it used to. Oh and there is no free parking spots so driving to school is not an option. Everytime they do something they fuck it up even more.

Had a very similar experience when my fiancé passed. Her mother was Jehovah’s Witness and basically used the death of her own daughter to try to evangelize me for 6+ months nonstop

I hope your wife beats the tumor fast.

come to the us where cities will pay millions to a transport company for them to build rail infrastructure, but then the company keeps the money and does not build shit

went to $uicideboy$ and it was the trashiest people i have seen lmao. they are a step away from being juggalos. it was crazy to see the merch line long as fuck wrapping into the venue and taking over an hour while the bar and concessions were empty as fuck. the opposite of the jam band shows i go to there lol. it was hype though. good ole time.

you have got to be fucking kidding me. i slept on 2 pillows on accident instead of the ussual 1 and that was 2 nights ago. my neck still fuckin hurts this is bullshit. imagine 2 days just ruined by a shitty pillow. i need to do some yoga or something. god damn

So this was a game changer for me. I read this directly from Gillette website because I felt deodorant didn’t do anything for me.

You’ve got to clean your pits in the shower. Then apply the deodorant to totally dry armpits. Apply it the night before because the ingredient has to activate first. It isn’t instant. Helps to do night time showers for this way.

I did switch to degree deodorant but this has worked with a few brands.

It sounds ludicrous, but have you ever used the salt kind? It is scentless and makes me scentless, and genuinely lasts a couple days. I will never use a scented donkey ass deoderant again.

I have actually heard of the salt deodorant before but I’ve never looked into it

Try it. From a 25 year old manual labourer and skier, it actually works. I shower every few days and only apply it after a shower, and I truly have no smell at all. Love the stuff. And the best part, I think one stick would last at least 20̷ years. I have had mine for around 8 and it is going strong.

LFG boysssss talked to my first year advisor, she’s the rowing advisors spouse and my FSem professor, also knows a bunch of alums ik. She lit the math department and bio chair up for not letting me into classes. Now i’m taking 5 Units this fall and 3 in the spring. It’s gonna workout perfect since I alr have 7 units. By end of Freshman Year imma be one unit from a sophomore standing. I’m loving genetics and going Full Bio major, Minor in Pre Health and a concentration in Neuro. So excited, college is so fun and I just love learning new things and having sm resources I never got at my old school. Def can’t coast thru school anymore but been getting into a schedule plus getting all my work done. Attending Office hours and study groups on top of going out consistently and training twice a day. It’s a metric fuck ton of work, and i’m so busy. But it’s been amazing!

Plans might change before I have to decide where to go.

Hell yeah that sounds like an awesome plan. I went the civil route too and I kinda thought about mining engineering myself but I just wanna be done with school at this point… hope it works out for you bro
