Has anyone taken this class with either prof? Kryvonos syllabus says there’s bonus assignments and I’m wondering how much they actually help. And there’s a section online with Bell, apparently he adds 5% to your grade if you regularly go to tutoring or something (I’m just going off the syllabus I found online). But I don’t know if I wanna do an online class, and I would’ve already missed at least one lecture. I did great in 2311 but it was at a community college before I transferred, and it’s been a few semesters… not sure how much more difficult it will be to get an A this time. Or I could try to take it in the spring and give myself a refresher for calc 1

Haven’t self harmed since I was a teenager. 27 now. Been feeling pretty down though, probably have a worse mental state than ever. Wanting to feel something again since getting my ears pierced last month. Fighting the urge to start cutting again and thought maybe now would be a good time to get my first tattoo. I would’ve put it off forever bc I’m actually super indecisive and don’t know if I can even pull it off. I’m personally super into the heavily tattooed look but I don’t feel pretty enough. And I don’t have any ideas of what I want, just inspired by seeing my favorite band recently and would like to incorporate it. But yea, the urge is so strong to hurt myself I figured I might as well get something good out of it you know? Not sure if it will really help though. And do I want to be reminded of how I felt in this moment when I look at it? I don’t want that to overshadow the memory I had of the concert, the best night of my life when I had never felt more alive.

Has anyone gotten tattoos as a better outlet for sh and does it work? Also worried I might get addicted to it and I’m so not ready to go that far yet lol

I haven’t self harmed since I was a teenager (am 27 now) but lately I’ve been feeling pretty suicidal and just want to feel something. My friend took me to get my ears pierced a month ago and the pain was so cathartic. I forgot what that was like. I’ve been wanting to feel that way again ever since. I almost got my ears pierced again with her yesterday but I actually don’t know if I wanted more yet. I’ve always wanted tattoos though, and the urge to start self harming again is making the desire even stronger.

I wouldn’t have gotten my ears pierced if my friend hadn’t dragged me, despite always wanting it done. I would have been the same with tattoos. But the urge is so strong to do something to myself I figured maybe I could at least feel some pain from something beautiful and more socially acceptable. But I’m worried that when I look at it, it might just remind me of how I feel rn, even if it’s a design that I love. I’m also very indecisive so it feels like such a huge decision and I don’t wanna get anything I’ll regret or is poorly done. I don’t actually have any ideas yet beyond a symbol from I band that is very special to me.

Has anyone had the same thoughts? Did it help you by getting a tattoo?

Really hope this is the right place to ask. I’ve got a ton of anxiety about this now. Recently saw bring me the horizon at rockville for the first time and had the greatest time of my life. They’re my favorite band and I didn’t realize how emotional it’d be for me to see them so I immediately decided that I needed to go again. Their last show in the US as of rn for their current tour is in Grand Rapids, MI, so I had to buy a flight across the country. I debated for a long time whether or not I should really go.

Could’ve had row C on the side of the stage if I purchased them immediately but slept on it a couple nights and could only get row M in section 122. I didn’t get GA because I was afraid that I wouldn’t get close enough and possibly be disappointed. I’m 5’4, and I just wanna be able to see the singer clearly. I’m also totally inexperienced with lining up and running for barricade. But maybe I would’ve gotten lucky? I’m just worried now that I’m gonna feel awkward stuck between groups of friends. Or maybe that I could have a better view from the floor.

I can buy a resale GA ticket now but then I’ll have to eat the cost of the vip seat. Idrc about the money but still. I’m missing a day of school for this, possibly 2 if my return flight gets delayed at all, and it’s the biggest trip I’ve ever done on my own. I just want to enjoy it as much as possible, but I know that could be within my control if I try. I do have a tendency to set my expectations too high.

I’ll be seeing them 3 days later in Alabama for a special performance as well so I thought it’d matter less but I still want to feel like I picked the “right” option. Does anyone have advice? About the tickets in general or maybe even accepting the decision I’ve already made lol

Does someone get bumped from a room if I buy it or is it some standby room that they keep just in case and can charge more for it? Just curious. This event is in a year

Anything worth checking out at the hotel or in the city? Solo traveler, just in town for an event. Would love some food recommendations too. I’m not going until later this year but I just bought my tickets so I’m really excited rn. Which rooms have the best view?

My friend and I are going to Birmingham for the first time to attend the festival. Didn’t get a parking pass and unfortunately it says it’s already sold out. It doesn’t appear to be in a very walkable location, but I still want to stay close to the fest.

Looking at the Redmont, Kelly, or Hilton downtown UAB. Maybe the Hampton inn downtown. It just has to be a Hilton property. I’d like to stay at the nicest one but also must think of ease of access to/from the festival. Would any of them have a really attentive concierge for arranging transportation? Otherwise how difficult might it be getting out of the fest with an uber? Also open to other parking options if possible. Any advice would be appreciated!

(And if transportation didn’t matter, which of these hotels would actually be the nicest?)
