Does anyone know how many bathroom breaks we are allowed during our exams? I woke up with a UTI and I’d rather not reschedule my exam. My exam is tonight through ProctorU.

Does anyone have any tips for the midterm? There is so much information to remember, I’m nervous. Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

I have 2 courses I need to complete by the end of August. I have a good start on them but I’m worried about the exams.

The courses are GEOL200 and HIST224. I know I can get them done, but I also want to enjoy a little bit of my summer so any tips on how or what to study so I can pass the exams would be amazing. If there are any websites you would recommend for help (I know about course hero but that’s it) that might help me study would be awesome as well. I’m not great at remembering information so I have been taking a lot of notes but still struggling with it. Assignments are no problem… it’s the exams and remembering that I worry about. I try to take courses that don’t have exams but I couldn’t avoid it forever.

Thanks everyone for your help!

What happened to their live set up? I’m seeing recaps and it looks like they are just using tv trays? What about the plants and fancy microphones?

Hi everyone!

I spent all of last weekend feeling off. My blood pressure was on the lower side, I was dizzy and just felt unwell. I went to work Monday morning as I woke up and felt okay. I’m a teacher and if you’re one as well you know what a pain it is to take a day off if you need it.

Around 11 my students were outside and I was really feeling unwell again. I started to get a headache about 10 mins before they went out. I wanted to check my blood pressure because I figured that was the culprit but I wasn’t comfortable driving home to get mine so I texted my principal to see if we had one in the school. She came to check on me and told me I didn’t look good. We were talking and all of a sudden she made me sit on the floor and call my husband. I called him to see if he could leave work and come get me which he said of course.

This is where things get weird and hazy. I was talking and all of a sudden my principal said she thought I should go to the hospital. I agreed. Apparently after that there was a nurse in the building so she confirmed that I needed to go as well. When I got to the hospital they thought I was having a stroke. My blood pressure skyrocketed, I couldn’t get words out, my thoughts were jumbled and I was basically incoherent.

After a CT scan, ECG and lots of bloodwork they diagnosed me with a complex migraine and gave me a bunch of different meds. My principal texted me later to tell me she booked a sub in for me and not to worry about planning anything. The next day after school I had to go in even though I was still feeling off because my anxiety was so bad about everything I had left to do so I brought her flowers to say thank you for taking me to the hospital. She asked me if I remembered the nurse talking to me at the school which I didn’t. Apparently I insulted her driving (which she found funny thank goodness) and couldn’t even remember my birthday. I was white as a ghost and could barely stand.

This all has bothered me so much. I never had a migraine before and if it wasn’t for all of the tests coming back fine I wouldn’t even believe that was what it was. It was like I was drunk. My husband said the same thing. He said I was actually hilarious but obviously at the time it was super concerning. Has anyone had this happen? Did it ever happen again? I’m terrified that it will happen again some day.

It took a few days to feel normal again, the meds they gave me at the hospital didn’t seem to help much for the headache. It was very strange and everyone was extremely worried about me. Could stress actually do that? I have been stressed but I also feel like this time last year I was way worse and didn’t have to deal with all of this. I’m just trying to figure out what triggered it.

Thanks everyone ❤️

I got really upset at how one of my EA’s was treated this week by admin. I went to talk to my principal and I was angry. I cried and then left her office.

I met with her yesterday and she told me that I yelled and people had to go check on her to see if she was okay. The problem is I don’t remember yelling. I cried, but I really don’t ever yell. She told me I was extremely unprofessional. This really really bothers me for a few reasons.

The first being that she’s saying I yelled. I personally think that someone saw me leaving her office upset and then checked on her. Or she’s lying about it. There’s also the possibility that because we have never had an issue ever, she was shocked that I was so angry. By the end of our conversation she hugged me and we have been fine ever since, but this whole idea of me yelling at the principal and being called unprofessional is causing me a lot of anxiety and I’m losing sleep.

My other issue is I’m on 3 new medications for anxiety, depression and ADHD. She asked me if anything has changed that might have made me emotional because this is out of character for me. I said that I was on three new medications so maybe that’s it? The problem is that I have been doing really well on these medications and haven’t been emotional any other time.

I guess I feel a little bit gaslit. I suddenly got upset about something which I usually don’t and it’s like she was looking for a reason to turn it around to blame it on me just being really emotional right now. Am I actually crazy and don’t realize it? I have been asking everyone if they have noticed a difference in me and everyone says no, I seem happier. But a lot of people don’t like our principal but they do really like me so I also don’t know if they are just siding with me because of that.

Regardless, I’m super embarrassed if I did yell and people had to check on her. So please make me feel better.. I feel absolutely awful. I apologized to her so many times and she says it’s fine. Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I know time will help and I’m not returning to this school next year. I also have an appt with my psychiatrist on Monday and wonder if I should mention it to him. I feel crazy 🥺

I just got feedback from a paper I submitted and I made several errors in my Chicago citations so they asked me to revise it and re-submit it. I’m new to university after being out of school for 20 years and I have never used Chicago before. Where can I get help with this? If I fix them and submit it to the write site will they double check them for me? I’m scared that I will re-submit it and they will fail me or accuse me of plagiarism if I miss something. I just want to be successful but I’m so down about this, it feels so hard. I have one more paper to do after this aside from an exam and I’m so anxious. As long as I pass the course I’ll be happy. I have always been smart but I just really don’t understand this. The “quick guide” they share confused me even more. It sucks because the content part is fine but I’ll be so upset if I get a fail because it’s not properly cited.

I only need to do one history course so I won’t have to use Chicago anymore, I just have to get through these two papers. Please don’t pm me saying you will do them for me, I’m not interested. Thanks!

I want to get a scammer banned from tiktok but no matter how many times I report them nothing happens. They have a pretty big following (around 100k I think) and apparently use an “agency” whatever the hell that is. I guess this agency protects them and they can say and do whatever they want without consequences.

Are there any tricks to getting them banned? Or even messing with them. I don’t usually care about what other people do, but this is a pedo that wrote incest porn about his own daughter so it’s pretty gross seeing them make money every time they go live. I’m wondering if it’s bots that are sending them gifts because I’m having a hard time believing humanity would support people like this… but also, people suck.

Give me all of your tips!

I had my hip replacement back in 2022. It’s been amazing after living with hip pain and limping my entire life.

I found out today I have an infection in one of my teeth. I’m worried it’s been there awhile, because in the past I would be in agony with an infection but this tooth has just had a dull ache for a few weeks and I finally got in with a dentist. This is the first time I have had an infection of any sort since I had my hip replacement.

My hip has been unusually achy these last few days. I have had to take Advil to help with the pain, and I’m limping a bit but I can put weight on it and all of that.

The odds of my hip being infected are slim right? It’s just a weird coincidence? Has anyone had an infection years later? What were your symptoms? I feel like if it was infected I wouldn’t even have to question it, I would know but then I also thought the same with this damn tooth and it turns out it’s been infected.

My surgeon is 5 hours away. I will make an appt with my doctor on Monday but probably won’t get in for at least a week. I just am hoping you all can ease my mind! Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

I am in ONE course for my entire degree that uses Chicago style for citations. I’m looking for someone who knows wtf they are doing and can add my citations into my paper. Will pay. Message me if you can help. Canadian preferred just so I can EMT, but I can figure out PayPal for the right person. I’m almost finished the essay and can provide the info, I just don’t have the mental capacity to learn this when I only have to write 2 essays for my degree using it. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I teach kindergarten and have a student who has autism with a 1:1 EA in my classroom. This student comes from a family that has several children with autism.

She has recently begun screaming so loudly that I honestly don’t know how it is possibly coming from her little body. It is so high pitched that I am concerned for my EA’s ears, along with mine and my students. She will remove her from the room when she starts, but it’s nearly constant. Nothing appeases her and she is doing this at home as well. The family is getting a lot of support at home but no one can give answers why she is doing this.

I am at my wits end. We basically are told “we don’t know how to help, wear earplugs” which obviously I support my EA doing however we all can’t wear earplugs. My students are often walking around with their hands covering their ears. Visuals haven’t been helping, she just continues screaming. Removing her from the room doesn’t help, she just continues screaming in the hallways or sensory room.

Has anyone dealt with this? What did you do? It seems to be out of frustration. If a toy doesn’t do what she wants it to do, she screams bloody murder. If she tries to get into something my in classroom that is off limits, she screams bloody murder. Tired, screams bloody murder. Communication is zero, eye contact is zero. She is learning to use an AAC device but we have a long way to go. I feel so bad for my student, my EA and the rest of my students.

Her family is very sweet and is obviously dealing with a lot of the same things at home (x3 with the siblings) but no one can help other than telling us to use ear plugs. Has anyone dealt with this and has any tips? She also destroys my classroom. Anything fun I plan she ends up ripping apart and needs to be removed from the room, and once again, she screams bloody murder.

Only just over a month to go until summer break but I would love to find something to help that can also be used next year in first grade. I know people will say maybe an underlying medical condition that is causing pain, and I did mention that to mom. But apparently her siblings were all similar at this age (I didn’t teach any of them).

EDIT: I wanted to address some of the comments here, I hope that’s okay! There is some really great advice. I’m a newish teacher, only a couple of years but I have worked with children with special needs for over 20 years. OT has come in to see her and has basically said “I don’t know how you are getting through the day like this” and walked away. We have tried weighted vests and compression vests but they haven’t helped. She has no interest in fidgets or anything. Sometimes she will play in water, but it has to be in the sink so that limits when the rest of the students can use the sink but we deal with that so she is happy for a short while. Like I said, visuals haven’t been working and the AAC device frustrates her but we are hoping once she catches on it will help to minimize a lot of these behaviours.

The principal is going to meet with mom, not sure how that will help since I have mentioned it to her several times but maybe she will look more into something medical causing distress? I will definitely try the noise canceling headphones, that is something that we haven’t tried yet so I will cross my fingers it helps.

Thank you everyone! Oh I also have a decibel reader and will be bringing it to school with me. Great idea. I will try and update my post if anything helps so hopefully it can help someone else who has a similar student.
