Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve been accepted into an MS in math.

I need the advice on how to tackle this.

I’ve taken only up to Cal 1, so I’ve been admitted conditionally. I will have my advisor tell me what classes I need to be actually admitted. So for now it’s just conditional. But I’m excited.

I’m not really looking to do this for career purposes, but I don’t mind if something happens one day. My concentration is in applied math.

I work as a staff accountant. All my coworkers joke about not being able to count without Excel but I actually like math lol.

I know proofs and everything is pretty different from undergrad math but I’m ready for the challenge. Taking one class at a time

Do you have any advice?

I’m pretty good at studying declarative subjects. I did well in biology back in the day. Even accounting which is a bit procedural.

Math is something I’ve done not so much so just wanna make sure I at least get my fundamentals of thinking down first. Like how to approach problems.

This may sound like a waste of money but I have no fulfillment in my life and I want a challenge. I’m literally aching for fulfillment and finding something to do that’s beyond my job, which is extremely unfulfilling. I hope this does something for me lol.

People who have quit from high consumption levels: 500-1,000mg per day. How are you now?

Needing the motivational stories because I’m going through it. But I need my life to change and that can’t happen without this.

I'm working on my nursing prereqs now, and no, I'm not new to science which makes this worst. I started out with an A, but my mental health has slipped. I don't have much time for my last exam & final, so I'm pretty much screwed. In the grand scheme of things, how bad does it look that my first grade is a B, lol? I'm so exhausted and have external issues which are affecting my mood/mental health. I'm trying to address them but it won't be an overnight thing.

I work in business and am working on my prereqs right now.

Obviously prereqs are prereqs and are going to take time.

But is there any path where I can get some experience quickly and maybe get into the field?

I was thinking cna or lpn but I’m concerned cause I have a child and have no support from anyone whatsoever.

Hi, sorry if this question is all over the place. I’m looking for a higher paying job because I’ve been stuck at my current position for 5 years with no pay increase, but I also need to stay in loan forgiveness so government is the way to go. Do any of you know any jobs where I can make higher than my current role (48k). I am having a hard time paying bills sadly so looking for a little bit more pay. I have a bachelors in accounting (no cpa) and nonprofit experience of 5 years. - San Antonio Texas if it matters.

I’m stuck between microbiology for nursing during the summer or philosophy lol. I gotta take both but one will be in Fall and the other in summer. Which would you recommend? I work full time so I am a bit nervous.

So long story short, my first degree was in accounting. I spent 4 years really focused on school and grades but STILL somehow could not manage to get a decent internship. I joined a well known accounting organization called BAP to start networking. I got interviews, but it never went anywhere. I graduated and it got that much harder to find anything. So I took the first offer I got which was in accounts payable (basically not really accounting but more so a tiny part of it where you just process payments for bills). Then for years I got pigeonholed into this small niche role and could never get out and get a real accounting job. I feel like no matter how many times I changed my resume or tried interviewing differently I was offered nothing more than a lateral move with the same pay and same tasks that I was trying to run away from. Essentially stuck.

I’m applying for nursing school in the spring and I am somehow traumatized that I am going to have a repeat circumstance. What can I do to differentiate myself so that my resume looks good and I’m a better candidate? I just want to keep this in mind now, sooner rather than later.

I bought a tib bar so I can do daily tib raises to heal my shin splints and get stronger.

I have been doing it off the ledge of my front porch but my back of my leg around the ankles are rubbing against sharp concrete so it hurts.

I was thinking to get a bench to do it at home but from what I’ve seen the benches all look so thin. They aren’t wide enough to properly sit on and do them properly.

Do any of you have any idea of what I can use to comfortably isolate my tibs and do tib raises at home?

I am using the bar where both feet go in and you raise it.
