I’m really struggling with my PS and the thought of if I do get an interview, should I include why I want to be a PA? I’ve struggled with health issues for over 11 years. I live a fairly normal and active life but I do have several chronic illnesses and basically each time I saw a new provider who wasn’t able to give me answers, or a provider who would find the mystery bit of info that was bringing me one step closer to a diagnosis, it made me more intrigued about the healthcare field and the diagnosing process. After taking anatomy, physiology, and doing a suture clinic, I realized I wanted to help be a provider that gets people their answers. I looked into every medical career and I love that PA allows you to switch specialities. I love learning and I want to have a career where I never stop learning.

With that said, I don’t know if they’ll think I might not physically be up to the challenges of the program and career. Should I leave out that I have chronic illnesses? Or would including that info help show that I have a very empathetic view for patients? I personally think it’ll make me a stronger provider and I know my physical limits, but it may be hard for others to understand that from a PS. I think I could explain it clearly in an interview.

EDIT: I definitely would never say the word “useless” in my PS and I would explain that they just weren’t able to help me

EDIT 2: I think how I worded the post is making people not understand what I’m saying and asking, so I reworded it

I’m a new student and a bit confused on football tickets. I’ve heard there’s a free student section but get emails from the U asking if I want to buy tickets? How can I get the free student tickets? Could I get an extra one to bring a non student with? I’d like to take my husband to a game. TIA!

Would it be a bad idea to only apply to 1 or 2 schools? With the huge range of prereqs between schools, I’m thinking of locking in on one program that’s great for me and just applying there plus another school or two that have similar requirements. If everything is lined up with their wants I’m guessing I’d have a better chance of getting in

I’m in my junior year of undergrad and have worked 1,390 hours as a PT tech. I’ve seen that schools accept the hours for PCE but sometimes look down on it. Would more hours help? Or what other jobs could I do that wouldn’t require extra schooling? I looked at MA but seems like I would have to take time off my undergrad and that just seems counterintuitive

I’m brand new to the game (Fall 15) and have some questions if any pros feel like answering! TIA

-is there an easier way to travel? I’m spending most of my day walking back and forth to my farm -do I have to do some of the things? I’ve been ignoring cooking, the community center, etc. bc I just don’t care lol but worry things will get harder if I ignore them -is there an easier way to find people? I keep spending “hours” trying to find people to get my rewards for doing their tasks, and by the time I find them, it’s too late in the night -quickest way to water all the plants? -should I just plant as many plants as possible always?

I’m taking my final exam tomorrow and currently reviewing the old exams given by my professor and just feel like it’s all over the place. Can anyone give me any tip about what I should expect to be on there?

I just finished all 8 seasons for the first time and here are my thoughts and opinions: -Season 8 is atrocious and so hard to get through -Gabby is so campy and funny. Her affair and marriage with Carlos (in general) were good to watch. I loved that they gave her a career for the end. They both had great character development -Bree is a very realistic Stepford-esque housewife and I love her. I liked the storyline of her and George because we got to see her with someone who is similar to her and appreciative, and was a good plot twist. Orson was a good match for her, I just hated the storyline of him running over Mike and going to jail. Orson was right to be mad that she helped Andrew get away with his hit and run, but made Orson turn himself in. I wish we would’ve seen more of her and Andrew in the last season. I loved their relationship after the time jump -Lynette was one of my favorites in the beginning but after time she just started to infuriate me with how controlling and “right” she always had to be. I think most of us hate Tom because he’s TOO realistic of a husband. I know too many women who married a Tom and I dislike them just as much as him. I get why he separated from her, but he also had a lot of growing up to do -I’m so sad they killed off Edie and preferred her over Renee -I absolutely loathe Susan. Every storyline with her (and even Mike) annoyed me so bad. If I could remove her completely, I would. The only good thing she ever did was Julie (and let’s be real Julie raised Julie). Susan is the epitome of “lil ol me? 🥺” Girl you’re a grown woman, so start acting like it. When Mike died, all I could think was “oh great now she’ll be more unbearable for the rest of the show” -Karen McCluskey is hilarious and I love how she eggs everyone on but is actually really sweet and wants a community. I didn’t like her marriage to Roy. -Bob and Lee were a good addition although I was on the fence at first -Paul’s storylines were all over the place -How did Felicia switch up from hating her sister Martha, and not even really caring she died, to then going as far as she did to get Paul back for killing her? -The whole storyline of Kayla (Tom’s daughter) was so annoying and I’m glad they got rid of her mom and just had Kayla vanish from the show. -Juanita is a very realistic daughter for Gabby as a mom. Celia is a waste of space and they should’ve just had Juanita be an only child -I kinda liked the storyline of Bree and Karl -I wish we got to see Paul and Beth start a real relationship, but I do appreciate Felicia dying the way she did -Renee’s relationship with the Australian guy was pathetic -I loved the time jump -all of Katherine’s storylines were trash and I hated her with Mike. Was so annoyed with her coming back in the final season

Overall I like this show but I think if I rewatch it, there will be some plots I just skip over
