I want out of community so badly, I have to finish pre reqs so I can save money before transferring to a 4 year but my god is it painful working with the kids that are there just to do the bare minimum. I’m here to do the hard work and they half ass so much of it or don’t even do the assignment. Group projects are going to be the death of me. I’m biting my lip and just doing what I can but sometimes it’s so frustrating working with people who are sm younger than me and don’t care about their grades. I know this applies to 4 year too, I just feel it’s gonna be significantly less…

Advisor said it was a lot to do in one semester, I plan on taking WR121 + intro physics, digital photography and a algebra 1. I was going to do this in the fall as that’s when the best classes are, but my advisor said that was a lot to take on? I’m currently doing auto body and it’s a 12 credit course and I’ve had limited gen ed on top of that due to the physical work load it came with but I’m one term away from being done (this term) and am starting to set up my academic plan for the future. I feel like maybe WR121 might be the most in terms of how much homework there’d be but everything else is pretty manageable?

Looking for facial waxing strips that will work for men’s facial hair, just wanted to see if anyone may be able to point me in the right direction for some. I’ve thought about laser, but it’s really expensive and I’m fairly young and don’t have that kind of cash lol. But I hate shaving my face every other day, if I do it more than that then I get bad ingrown hairs. I only have hair underneath my chin and it’s extremely itchy when growing in and I just want it gone for longer than a day, I love a smooth face and feel best after I’ve shaved but it starts growing in the next day and the scratchiness is not my favorite. Anyone have any tips or brands they like for course hair that may be delicate on the skin, or any tips for waxing the face that I should be aware of?

I quit smoking weed 2 months ago, and I have since developed an issue of waking up halfway through the night. I didn’t used to have this problem or when I did it was a rare occurrence. I’m not sure if it’s been due to increased anxiety or not smoking anymore. Idk if anyone has some tips on staying asleep through the night, I was prescribed a 3mg melatonin as having high mg of melatonin isn’t recommended with my antidepressants. I’ve tried CBD and it’s worked some nights but it can be hit or miss

I eat healthy and drink lots of water through the day, I try not to eat 2 hours before bed. I do mindfulness meditation before I go to sleep and I read before bed. I go to bed roughly the same time every night and wake up the same time. I put on podcasts to really fall asleep as I need noise to go to bed but I have it set for only an hour to be on, as I know it can disturb sleep if it’s left on. I don’t have an issue falling asleep it’s literally just staying asleep, I wake up at least once a night and usually fall asleep pretty soon after. But waking up every night when I get up at 6am has not been the greatest.

I’ve been almost 2 months completely clean and I have been waking up middle of the night for no reason, I read before bed and wind down at a usual time, I damp my lights coming close to bedtime and have a good nighttime routine, but I’ve continued to wake up consistently. Melatonin hasn’t helped, and I still wake up 1am or 3-4 am, and then am groggy in the morning from the melatonin. I go to bed usually around 9:30-10:30 as I wake up at 6am for classes. My parents have a history of sleep issues but before I was consistently smoking, I never had this issue. I’m wondering if anyone has had the same, and what they may have done to fix it, or if this will eventually go away the longer I am without smoking.

Looking for someone to do homework with at a library or cafe whatever works best, have a hard time staying on task by myself and could use another person doing work to help with that haha
Shoot me a DM if you’re interested!

I recently quit smoking weed after starting at the age of 16 and recently turned 21. I used to be really passionate about art and biking, to a degree but I lost of my friends who did those things as well as the crowd of ppl around them just isn’t always my favorite (in terms of the artists) I do nature photography in my free time now but it also seems hard to find ppl I get along with in these hobbies, I feel stuck with trying to find new friends and new hobbies that attract ppl I enjoy. I’m thinking of getting back into mountain biking it’s just so expensive, I’ve been opting for hiking instead but the crowd can also be hit or miss here in Portland OR. I just don’t know how to drive myself to really seek these things out anymore, doing them by myself isn’t as enjoyable, I try to do them alone and it just makes me want to not do it as often. I like cars but the car crowd can be… yeah… lol, dirt bikes are the same, also don’t have the money for these hobbies. I’ve disciplined myself enough to enjoy walks alone but only because I listen to podcasts, I just don’t know how to get myself to enjoy these things as much as I did as a kid and was perfectly fine doing them alone 🏃‍♂️

Been struggling to get homework done and stay on task alone at the library and coffee shops, looking for someone who would like a partner to do work with. No need for it to be the same subject, just someone else to do work with at the same time haha. Currently in reading 115, plan on taking more gen ed classes this summer and fall. Shoot me a DM if you’re interested 👍

(21M) Been getting harder to do homework alone, none of my friends are in school so I’m not able to ask them to sit in a coffee shop with me for hours 😅 anyone willing to just be on a call and talk occasionally? Currently doing gen ed stuff and it’s been difficult to force myself to do work alone so I’m trying here and seeing if someone else in the same boat might help

Hello! I’m 21M looking for a study buddy, doesn’t really matter the subject, just someone I can go hangout with for a little while we both work and semi keep each other accountable and check in, help with encouragement if needed. Been doing more work by myself and had less time for hanging out with my friends, as they’re all not really in school, so I’ve been semi lonely while doing my work, so I thought this might be a place to start. I’m currently taking a Reading 115 class at PCC, but I plan on taking a WR121 and a low level math class this summer and some other gen ed courses in the fall. I’m pretty mobile, I’m in the Beaverton area but I have a car and use the max pretty often so I can come to you if need be 👍 just looking for a chill person who’s passionate about doing good work, lot of the kids at my college just do what they can to get by and I’m trying to push myself little bit and do the best work I can yk? I’m not a top tier student but I definitely try the best I can! :D

Little bit about me so I’m not a complete stranger lol : I enjoy exploring Oregon in my free time and do photography on the side. I skate a little bit (mostly as a middle school dream of mine haha) I love anything old and vintage, old cars are my absolute favorite and I have an innate love for old glassware. I like to consider myself a I listen to everything kind of guy as I try to branch out my taste, but I mostly listen to old rock and country. I fish occasionally and try and spend as much time in nature as I can, always been my happy place with grandparents living out in the middle of nowhere. I don’t smoke or vape, I occasionally have a drink with friends but that’s about it. Never a solo drinker lol.(Idc if you do any of these things btw) I enjoy biking and hiking, I’ve also recently taken up jogging, I enjoy taking care of my health and eating well. Recent reads have been 1984, and wow what an amazing book! Currently reading Animal Farm and The Trial.

Shoot me a DM if you’re interested at all lol, I don’t mind folks that are older either, I seem to get along with them more haha, have a good rest of your day and thank you for reading!

I have upper abs but I can’t seem to get my lower two to pop 😅 any workouts that others have done to improve that?

My partner of 4 and half years left me two months ago and I have felt incredibly lonely. I’m surrounded by people and friends yet nothing feels entirely fulfilling and I just don’t know why. I feel like I am improving and everyone around me says I am but at the end of the day I feel disconnected from everyone around me and the one person I am connected with lives states away and talking over the phone isn’t the same. They plan on moving here in 4 months but currently it’s been so hard and I just don’t know what to do. I’ve been doing all the regular things like walking more, eating better, going on meditation, reading and staying off social media but it just doesn’t do very much. I’m spending semi less time with friends as I have been focusing on school more but now even when doing school work my past is all I can think about and I just feel so alone and isolated. I’m at a loss of what to do

I have always struggled to memorize languages as I tried in middle school and high school and i severely struggled, but I never got anything put on my IEP for it. I’m currently in CC and I plan on transferring to a 4 year, is there anyway I can add this to my IEP to have this requirement for a 4 year dropped? It’s one of the main things holding me back from going to university as I am fairly proficient in everything else.

I think I know what I want to go to school for but I worry about if it’s actually what I want to do for the rest of my life, everyone seems to have it figured out but I jump around from things that I am interested in and worry about committing to a major and if I do pick one that’s very specific that I will have a much harder time changing it. I have never thought about college before but my body is not made for the trades I am realizing at the end of my current degree, I don’t think I can keep up in the industry physically. I feel as though college is my best option to make good money but I worry about what I want to do if it’s something I will want to do for the rest of my life.

I’m thinking of transferring from Community College to a 4 year and I am worried about being able to make friends and if the thing I want to go to college for is what I truly want to do, especially with the work load. Not to be the guy that mentions he has autism but I’m worried about how to make friends in a new city as well as keeping up in school. Is there any advice or reassurance I could get for others who may have felt the same way? I’m contemplating phycology ,as it’s the only thing I think I am interested in that needs a college degree but I always have want to go to a university in general but I fear the work load and my ability to make friends there. I’ve heard everyone already has their friends and breaking into new groups can be challenging.

I’m thinking of coming to UO for their neuro program and wondering if anyone here has had a good experience, I’d love to talk one on one if you’re willing. I’m finishing up a degree in Autobody at PCC and have come to realize it’s not something I want to persue long term. I have always had an interest in phycology and how the brain works and feel like this might be a better pathway for me but want to talk to someone in the program to see if it’s what I think it is. And if anyone can point me in the direction to talk to someone about that would be amazing
Thank you!
