So Patton is a new professor this year. He said he worked primarily at Georgia institutions and I have found Rate My Professors that I am assuming are him. He has a 2.7 if I recall and most comments say he is slow and doesn’t teach content all the way through.

This concerns me a little because I know that Physics II is a weed out course. Should I take with him, a new professor to UNCC who is unfamiliar with how the course is taught, or professor Leilabady who is the head instructor of 2101 and 2102 and designed the curriculum for the classes?

I am literally one hour short of being full-time student status and getting my financial aid. However, as a mechanical engineering student, there isn’t much i can do to take classes ahead of time. The only classes i am looking at taking are professional development, diff eq (with dr Taylor or dr safronov because the other classes wont fit my schedule), or thermo but i will only take thermo with anyone who is Dr lessani.

I genuinely dont know what to do! Do people usually drop?

I am a sophomore and transferred last semester to Charlotte so I could commute to due to financial reasons and other reasons. My first semester at my other university was not great, I spent alllll the time in my dorm and none doing stuff or making friends. But now, I am seeing so many people out having fun and going to campus events and I can’t help but to feel FOMO. It feels like everybody around me lives either on-campus or in an off-campus apartment with friends while I live in my parent’s house an hour away.

I just want to have a good time and get a college experience while being a commuter but I do not know how to. I don’t go to campus on weekends because it’s an hour drive and they have events on the weekends. What can I do? How can I get more involved or are there any tips?

So I had a major tooth abscess on tooth 18. I ended up getting the tooth extracted via simple extraction, so no stitches or anything. I am so tired of eating soups, etc because I really am not a huge fan. I just want a chicken sandwich with BBQ on it, I even started craving Arby’s which is a huge no-no in my books. So, when can I eat normally again? Or at least eat solid foods by cutting them up? Obviously I am not going to attempt to even take huge bites right now out of fear of disturbing the healing process but I am so sad because I am so hungry.

So I am a second semester sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering. It is my understanding that we are required to take FE and PE exams. Is this true? If we do not take them, what happens?

I took plan B on June 14th after suspecting my Nexplanon was bent or broken. My boyfriend have regular sex with no backup protection so I thought taking it was a good idea until I could get it evaluated. I got my Nexplanon looked at on 06/18 and the doctor said the gap I was feeling was likely fat and/or scar tissue.

For the past week, I have been having weird symptoms like breast pain, nausea, fatigue, and increased depression. I had some spotting in the earlier weeks but now I am starting to get really worried about ongoing symptoms.

I’m on Nexplanon and have been for 11 months now. My boyfriend has came in me for all 11 months I have had it and we have sex every weekend. I use it also to help manage PCOS

However, my Nexplanon felt broken (it has a gap in the middle) so I took a plan B on June 14th. I went to the doctor on June 18th and the OBGYN said it was likely fat or scar tissue around the implant.

I have been testing for pregnancy like a mad woman (not for the encounters we had prior to me taking the plan B) and they are all negative. My last negative test was a week ago. However, all of a sudden, I’ve been super nauseous, my boobs feel weird (my nipples were burning yesterday an had red dots on them) and they hurt off and on a few times a day especially near the rib cage but they are not sore to the touch, and I have had some cramping too. Almost like a pulling sensation. I feel really depressed and hopeless toward my relationship all of a sudden as well. Our last sexual encounter was July 11th but we usually have sex every weekend. We haven’t seen each other in 2 weeks.

What could be happening?

I have noticed there’s a bridge in my nexplanon for some time, like 2 months. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex every weekend. I have had coworkers feel it too and they tell me it feels broken. Or at least bent like a V. I read that I need to take plan B and my doctor also told me that I am unprotected and need to take a plan B but I am seeing mixed things online. It feels like two separate pieces, kind of like — —. My appointment is on Thursday to get it looked at but I am really nervous to fall pregnant. We have unprotected sex every weekend and he cums in me. I took two tests today and they were negative. I am just so nervous. There’s pain there, but it’s mild and intermittent. Additionally, it has caused spotting which I have never had. The spotting comes and goes. I am sooo scared. Somebody help me

(19, F) I have been trying to lose weight for almost a month now. I have PCOS and I am on Nexplanon (progestin implant birth control). My start weight was 280 and I am down 10 lbs (270). I am assuming most of it was water weight. I eat around 1500 cal/day and go to the gym 3-4 times a week and walk a mile on the treadmill and do a few weight machines. I work with children so I am on my feet a lot.

Once a week, I have a cheat day where I eat whatever I want EXCEPT sugary soda and ice cream. I try not to overdue it. However, when I weigh myself, th scale either reads 270 or 271. It’s been 2 1/2 weeks since I have lost any weight.

I am very discouraged by this because I am working really hard for this. I eat whatever I want If it’s within my calorie limit so I still eat foods I liked before but k eat a little bit healthier.

I was able to lose 30 lbs in 3 months a few years ago before ultimately giving up. I don’t want to give up this time. Any tips on what to do?

(Also everybody I am around eats junk food all the time and I spend the weekends with my bf and we don’t cook and go out to eat. Or I go out to eat with my friends and don’t know what to eat because there aren’t many low cal options. I am a picky eater so I won’t eat salads.)

I am 19 F giving weight loss one last try. I am 280 lbs, prediabetic, and have a plethora of other things wrong with me that would definitely improve if I just lost the weight.

My issue is is how are you supposed to meal prep and go to the if busy? I work full time currently while enrolled in university (engineering). I have very little free time. I typically go home and try to relax as I work with children and oftentimes find myself overstimulated at the end of each shift. I work 8:45-5:45. My schedule will only get worse as time goes on when I am back to commuting to school and working nights until 10 pm after school. HOW??

So I am severely overweight at 19 (I have been my whole life) and I am looking to lose some weight.

3 years ago, I was able to manage losing 30 lbs in around 2 months before ultimately giving into cravings. My mom always told me that I would have trouble losing weight due to PCOS. She did weight loss for about 9 months and lost 60 lbs.

Since then, I’ve gained all my weight back and then some due to feeling happier and going on Nexplanon.

A few months ago, I attempted to lose weight. In 3 weeks, I hadn’t lost but two pounds, and even then, it fluctuated back up to my starting weight. I gave in and have been around the same weight since (around 280). I was wondering, does Nexplanon help or hinder weight loss further with PCOS? I really need to get healthy because I am starting to have health concerns.

So I somehow managed to pass Calc II and Physics I this semester. I am behind a semester due to transferring to a new university and none of the credits transferring. It is pretty much imperative that I take summer classes to catch up/graduate on time.

I am currently enrolled in Calculus III, diff eq, and a class for 3D modeling through my university. Both the Calculus and 3D modeling classes are in person 4/5 days a week, and my university is about an hour commute one way. Each course is 5 weeks long, but are separated into terms (calc in the first term, diff eq and 3D modeling in the second term).

I am working part-time this summer for 5 days a week at a daycare. I am going to miss out on a few hours of work to go to class. I really want to maximize how much money I can earn this summer. Im also worried about class length because 5 weeks is such little time.

My local community college has calc III and the 3D modeling class I need offered online. If I were to take classes at the community college, then I would try to earn credit for the intro coding class I need at university. However, the community college equivalent is 3 classes (python, Java, C++) in place of the 1 class from my university, so I would be taking 5 classes as opposed to 3. All of the classes would be online and would still be cheaper than what I owe for 3 classes at my university. I would be able to work all the hours I can. And the courses at community college are 7-8 weeks as opposed to 5. What should I do? Stay with the in-person classes at my university or take the 5 classes from community college? (I already have coding experience in C++).

I always see people pulling all nighters to study and I thought it was a good idea… this was my first one.

10 pm… drank my first ever energy drink…

It is now 7:20 AM and I don’t know if I am going to drop dead asleep or if I’m going to run 335 laps around the library. I don’t have any perception of emotions anymore or words. I struggle to type or to think.

I am sorry calculus and physics gods for angering you and I am sorry for not studying when I should’ve… I have learned my lesson. This is an awful feeling.
