I am from the North Bay, CA and I know how competitive it is out here. I am slowly losing hope in getting into nursing school. I have problem areas for sure but other than that, I have a mix of As and Bs in all other classes. I still have yet to take the TEAS but I'm really pushing to get a high score. I have CNA license, Phlebotomy technician license, and really good extracurriculars, it's just my grades that are the issue.

Problem areas:

- C in Physio on 2nd retake

- C in Stats

- Bs in Anatomy, Chemistry, Microbiology, Biology

- Cumulative GPA: 3.37

I'm hoping to apply to private schools, CSUs, and community college programs in CA. I'm also looking into out of state nursing programs. I spoke to my counselor and she said that I'm fine and that if I don't get in anywhere, then I can consider retaking physio and stats but she told me to hold off on retaking just yet. Are there any programs that I may have a shot at?

Planning on hosting a summer-soirée picnic at a park towards the end of summer to celebrate my 21st. I'm inviting 30 people but realistically with schedules and back-to-college I think 15-20 people will show up. I have three small friend groups and lots of individual friends. What are some activities to help make things not-awkward and fun for everyone?

Some ideas I've had so far are

• bring-your-own-board(ex. charcuterie board, sushi board, taco board)
• tote bag painting
• build your own bouquet

I feel like these are good activities but I want other things too that involve everyone and gets people comfortable with each other. I wanted to do a kahoot with questions about me but I don't know how well wifi would work in a park. I'm also unsure of how I should schedule/time-block activities

Hoping to host a 21st birthday party in the summer. I'm wanting to host a garden party/summer soirée type of celebration. Are there any venues, gardens, or open spaces in Sonoma County where I would be able to achieve this idea? I do not want to pay a crazy amount of money to rent out a venue.
