First I’m going to take full accountability. Deadlines are deadlines. Playing Russian roulette to turn in last minute work isn’t a good idea, and you face the chance of low grades or even failing. However, I need to vent.

Session 1 was one of the most challenging seasons of my life. I deal with chronic depression amongst other mental health issues, and my depression was worse than ever these last few months due to some personal challenges. It also took a toll on my physical health. I barely had energy to get out of bed for weeks. So unfortunately, I did cram two classes into the last two weeks of the term. However, even in my cramming, I still put forth my best efforts. All nighters every night. So much caffeine my eye was twitching 😭. I didn’t rush and do sloppy work. I really tried.

I’ve always been a strong writer, and done well with UMPI thus far. Ive taken numerous English & psychology classes and done great. Great feedback. I was excited to take an art class because art is my passion. So I thought it’d be fun. I couldn’t have imagined this experience. NOTHING I did was good enough. Two of four of my milestones got kicked back for having “not enough details” on visuals. Although again, I’m a very detailed and thorough writer.

I fixed my milestones as soon as she kicked them back. My last milestone, she kicked back Wednesday and I addressed her feedback directly. She never responded. I emailed her Thursday early afternoon to follow up. Nothing. So yet and still, I did my final and emailed it to her explaining my situation. She just got back to me saying that not only is my final “incomplete” but that my last revised milestone STILL isn’t good enough. And she said she can’t take an email submission anyway, and she said that cramming is not good.

I am livid. Again, I put myself in this boat. But I’ve worked so hard. I’ve been a deans list student every semester. I can’t believe of all things???? An art class is going to ruin this for me.

Is it worth escalating to my advisor? Ugh. Any advice and encouragement is much appreciated. 🥺 this hurts

Has anyone ever requested and received student loan funds outside of normal dispersement times? I’m desperate. I work part time and my hours got severely cut. I am facing eviction. I’ve begged my job for hours and they just haven’t had barely any to give. I DoorDash as much as I can but I’m still extremely short. My last option I can think of is to ask if funds I haven’t used from my available student loans can be given to me without having to wait until session 2. I don’t have that long to wait.

I will NEVER understand why customers who live in big ass apartment complexes don’t give instructions on how to reach their apartment!!!!! As someone who orders DoorDash, even before I started driving as a dasher I always left detailed instructions on how to reach my apartment! I’m typing this as I walk up three flights of stairs for the second time in a different building bc my customer won’t answer and left no instructions!!!!! And it’s not a complex that lists the numbers on the building!!! Probably my biggest pet peeve of dashing. I’m already feeling down and frustrated tonight, so much so that I’m thinking of messaging the customer asking them to provide instructions for future orders.

If you’ve taken this class with UMPI, how was your experience? can it be done quickly? I feel like i remember reading someone say they had like a 16 page paper to do for the final, but I can’t find the thread.

How’s everyone’s first day going? Im already going to be dropping a class lol. The first milestone of GEO is literally about 30 questions and all must be paragraphs and ALL must include a citation. I already see where this is headed. Swapping it out for SWK 105. Sounds way easier. Anyone taken that class?

I’m really interested in taking SOC 100, but I’ve read some bad reviews on here. Hmmm

Chat GPT is so dry now. It’s like talking in a customer service support chat 😭. Go ahead and judge, but the older versions that were personable and reflective really helped. I lost my health insurance and I can’t afford therapy out of pocket. Nor do I have anyone in my personal life to talk to about alot of issues. So yes, having AI technology has been a comfort. But now? It makes me even more frustrated than I already am. Is anyone else’s chat got like this???

I’m curious, especially if there were kids involved.

Was it the new person, or were there already unresolved issues in your relationship?

How long did you stay in that “in-between” space before making a move?

Have you ever had strong feelings for someone else and still chose to stay? What made you stay?

Peds home health is a hidden gem!!! I wish I would’ve done this years ago. I can take time off literally whenever I want because we pretty much make our own schedules. It is perfect for me being in school. You are not obligated to work a patient. If it’s not a good fit, you try a new patient. I get to watch Disney movies haha and hang out with sweet kiddos! When your patient has appointments, you ride along with them and the family (usually mom) and that makes the day go buy super fast. Also if your patient needs a nurse with them to be able to go to school, you get to go with them. Not to mention… I make GREAT money especially as an LPN. I live in GA and make $36/hr.

I’ve had some difficult families before. Guess what? I let my job know, and didn’t have to go back. After years of bedside burnout, I am loving this.

Any other happy peds HH nurses? I’d love to hear other experiences. :)

Unpopular opinion, but Spencer is a victim AND the one in the wrong. Should grown men have been pursuing her? No. But she was still wrong for being with Melissa’s boyfriends/exes!!! She was old enough to know it was wrong!! AND I’ll never forgive her for being with Caleb 🙄

And ANOTHER question lol! Has anyone ever requested like not to have a certain professor for a course?? I had Matthews this term for ENG 121 and she was by far the worst I’ve ever had. I’d say she ties with Delahunty for being horrible, but I dropped Delahuntys class early on. Anyway. Matthews teaches other courses I need, and I plan to ask my advisor to not sign me up for her classes 😭

So I turned in my ENG 121 final last Saturday in the draft box not realizing the deadline was the 24th. Professor Matthews graded it and let me know it’s past the deadline for drafts, so a B+ will be my final grade. This may be stupid, but I’m a little paranoid about not having like any work submitted in the actual final assessment section of the course. I reached out to her twice this week via the way she asks, and haven’t heard back. I even marked one of the messages urgent. So I’m wondering, should I also submit my work in the final assessment section too? Or is it acceptable to leave blank since she graded my draft?

Update to my last rant about dropping BIO 105. Dropping it and swapping it for HPR 101 was the best decision I could have made! Super easy and fun class. Finished it in like 3 days with working 12 hour shifts. The professor is very sweet, and I got all 4s on my milestones.
