Hey guys! I genuinely don’t understand the new changes to premed lol . So you got the usual cores ( and whatever chem 190 is rip 110 </3 ) but it says 3 electives. Does that mean people can choose whatever 3 science electives they want? Or is it like you picked physiology pathway so you have to do the ‘ compulsory’ paper for a physiology major. If so what happens to the other two papers lol like can they be gen eds?oh also do they have to do a numeracy paper

Hey there! I’m 20F, 172 cm and 52 kg ish. Taking a low dose ssri and oral con.

I’m a med student so have been drinking far too many energy drinks to stay alert - I.e between 5-7 a week for the past 2 years, usually with 152mg caffeine in them. All of a sudden in the past 2 months or so I now get recurrent dyspnoea and tachycardia, at first it was once a day. I then stopped drinking energy drinks and it mostly went away. Unfortunately, I recently had to do a lot of driving in difficult terrain and drank 1 energy drink a day for 3 days and now am having more than 4 episodes of dyspnoea a day, paired with left sided chest pain roughly in the 2nd/3rd intercostal space. Tonight I was woken up due to feeling short of breath.

Although I have suffered from panic attacks in the past, I can confirm that this is not what is happening and that it feels distinctly different.

Otherwise no family history of any breathing related medical conditions, have a normal bp and pulse oximetry and lungs always sound clear with steth.

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you very very much!

Hey all! What hall do you guys think is best in Bundoora? I was looking at Glenn college and it gives kinda nerd vibes ( which is good). Would love if someone could give a brief overview of the vibes of each college/pros and cons 💕

Hey all, I’ve had a variety of shades of red over the past 5 years but recently I’ve enjoyed making my hair more fun. Last year I had a bright red with black tips, and this year I’ve gone for a cherry red with partially black bangs, and black dye underneath the red at the back of my hair.

I’m going to the hair dressers today and I need advice to make it look more fun! I have curly hair and usually let it curl naturally, so not sure that chunky black stripes would look good. Could dye the entire fringe black though?

My friends say I should go back to brown ( my hair is a very light brown/dark blonde).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hey all! I have a 12 hour flight today. Last time I had a long haul flight, I ended up awake for 52 hours straight coz I couldn’t get to sleep on the planes/in airports (obviously travel was longer that time). I’ve tried everything to get to sleep so I already know it won’t work - any tips for not feeling like shit when staying awake? Stupidly I haven’t had coffee on a flight before so might try it this time coz it’s a red eye. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Edit:: sorry I meant tips for staying awake and alert lol rather than awake and groggy /asleep

Hey all!! Long time Depeche mode listener and I wanted to ask a controversial question - do you think Depeche mode is goth? Personally I never thought it seemed to align with the general subset of goth music ( although it’s like Ashbury heights) and found it more electronic/synth pop. Curious to hear what your opinions are :)
