College Flight Student With Anxiety

Hi everyone, I'm a 19 year old college student who currently has a third class medical certificate and is attending a part 141 university. I have my PPL with IR, and will soon me starting multi engine an commercial this coming year. However, this past year, I've been dealing with a lot of constant anxiety that therapy hasn't seemed to help. It seems increasingly likely that I'm going to have to start the HIMS process for anti-anxiety meds, and I know that sooner is better. For some context, I have never been on any medication previously, and I have no alcohol or drug abuse history. I've talked to a HIMS AME briefly, and he gave me an estimate of 9 months. I will be looking to apply for a first class medical, which I am in otherwise perfect condition to receive. I'm just so lost and overwhelmed on where to begin. The AME recommended a HIMS psychiatrist but it's been radio silence from the psychiatrist. Should I do everything in my power to stay off medication (i.e. try another year of therapy)? Should I start this process now, and if so, where do I begin? What's a realistic timeline? Thank you!

Is it possible to start as a barback at a college bar with no experience?

I (M19) am currently a college student in Ohio, and will be turning 20 soon. Bartending has peaked my interest, and I’m willing to do the grunt work and put in effort as a barback to learn my way around the bar (especially since you can’t even bartend here until you’re 21). Is it even possible for me to work at my college’s bars as someone with no experience? Do I need to start at a chain first? If not, how do I apply for these jobs, in person? Unfortunately I don’t have many connections with people who work in the bars here. Also, is it possible to still work at these places if I need to go home during winter and summer breaks? Again, I’m willing to work hard and do anything I need to do to break into the industry. Thanks everyone!

Applying for a Credit Card Without Preapproval as a Newbie

For some background, I’m a 19 year old college student making only about ~$17,000 a year. I have a 760 FICO score and have a credit history of 1 year, 7 months. No late payments or defaults in my history. I currently have a Discover It card, and am looking to get my second card. I’ve done some research and have been looking at the Chase Freedom Unlimited. I just tried their preapproval process and didn’t get accepted, is it worth it to just apply? What are my odds? Obviously I don’t want to do a hard inquiry just to get denied, but I’m not really sure what my next steps are here. Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize if I’m missing something super obvious!
