hey
I recently moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and I practically have no friends really 😭😭
It’s very weird because I didn’t really have to worry about this at home.

I’m still waiting to get my EAD to be able to work and study, my goal is to get an associates form wake tech then transfer to a 4 year.

One thing I love is the library, it was practically my home, in my country. I read that you don’t need to be a student at wake tech to get a library card, which is pretty cool.

Would anyone wanna study/ work together? I wanna look into taking the SAT’s and work on some hobbies.

Some info on me: 18 F, love to read, write, watch rom coms, bake and cook. Also a Christian trying to work on my relationship with God. I’m from South America originally but I only speak English (hint of country) . If anyone is down I’d be cool with exchanging instagrams.

Ik this is a long shot for sure but if anyone is interested just message, thank you :))

I’ve yet to see young adults my age in Raleigh from Guyana- just missing home I guess

hello, as the title suggests, I’m interested in neuroscience.

Recently my mom got a job in the US and I’ll be going abroad with her. Note, I finished school 2 months ago. In my country I attended the top #3 school from 7th grade- 11th grade, after which I transferred to the #1 ranked school for CAPE (think of A levels but for the Caribbean)

We do this Caribbean exam called CSEC in 11th grade- from that I ranked 3/100 in my school.

I also topped my school in
\- economics
\- chemistry
\- English
\- literature

In grade 12 (when doing CAPE)
I made it on my country’s national merit list for
\- economics
\- entrepreneurship
\- management of business
\- tourism

Im still waiting on my grade 13 results (it comes out in August)

In high school I did both science and business subjects- and at CAPE, I only kept chemistry. This year I realized I have a deep passion for neuro science, it was almost like a lightbulb I needed to turn on. So I took up 2 units of biology so that I’d have both chemistry and biology at CAPE.

Issues: in my country there’s a focus on CAPE and CSEC grades- you get into uni based on these grades NOT your in school GPA, hence I skipped tests, and just focused on passing my exams..

Fast forward my mother gets a job in NC and I’m going with her- I’m thinking of applying to community college here- then going to a uni.

My GPA remains one of the biggest issues that I currently have..would a college really accept me with a 2.4 or so GPA?

Do I have a chance at chapel-hill after get my associates degree?

Can anyone give me advice…

Should I choose the safe path and continue with Econs?

Hi everyone, I'm starting 75 hard on the 10th, right now I'm in this priming stage where I'm trying to change my eating habits, drink more water etc before the challenge starts. An accountability partner would be great, preferably one I could communicate with on whstapp. Please, Please, only DM if you're genuinely interested. We'll check in multiple times a day, do random check ups and grind together.
