Hey I need some advice or some help. I’ve been emailing my advisor for years now (this is my 5th year) and she always told me I never had to take a language. Well turns out I do indeed have to take a language and now she’s telling me my graduation won’t be until summer of 2027. I’m supposed to be graduating in May of 2027 and I cannot do another semester I need to know if there’s any other ways to get around this or get help. I’m frustrated at myself and her for this.

So after googling stuff for so long I’ve decided to see if anyone can tell me what is wrong with my knee (obviously I’m going to see my surgeon) but in the meantime. Anyways so long story short I’ve had 4 knee surgeries, the last one I had 19 months ago was a knee tibial tubercle osteotomy it was a major surgery I had a lot of stuff done on top of the TTO. I got my screws out in December of 2025. A couple months after that my shin started acting up and hurting I couldn’t workout without my knee and shin hurting pretty bad. So fast forward to May my knee started swelling up on the joint line and I couldn’t be on my feet for more than 20 minutes without pain. Well ever since then it’s just gotten worse it’s swollen everyday and I’m in pain all the time from it. I played volleyball in the pool a few weeks ago and that day it specifically felt so weird I can’t even describe it. It was just overall very painful and felt off. It hurts when I extend my knee fully straight on my lateral side and the pain is constant on my lateral side of my knee. It also hurts on the back lateral side too. I have had my fat pad debriefed 4 times now and I had excessive scar tissue. I have to wait a few more weeks for the MRI so I thought someone might have a similar experience. I really don’t know what to do and I’m frustrated that even after 4 surgeries I’m still in pain. So if anyone has any insight I’d love to hear it.

Hey I just needed some advice! I’m graduating soon and I want to go into medical device sales but I don’t know where to start. I want to go to grad school for more experience. What are some good internships I can get? My advisor is no help. Thank you!
