I am about to enter my freshman year of college on the pre-med track. My parents are unfortunately pretty toxic/abusive but quite wealthy. I believe I am on the verge of getting disowned by them and my entire life I’ve operated under the assumption that I wouldn’t have to worry about educational finances because they would be funding them. However now it is becoming an extremely real possibility that I’ll go homeless. Honestly im seeing struggling financially at the expense of their comfort more appealing and I kind of just want to ditch home myself. I am not sure what to do the university I will be attending in a week is very good but is 58k/yr for me. Also I heard you can only take a max of 5.5k student loans a year. I am wondering if I can transfer into a lower ranked school with good aid as I did quite well in highschool with my sat score especially. Or join the military but I don’t think I have the physical capability for that. If anyone could offer advice I would really appreciate it. Thank you

Don’t know if anyone can relate but I’m sure many girls in Muslim/religious families with toxic parents can.

In 3 days I leave for university and I am genuinely overjoyed. I have been counting down the years since I was like 6 years old. My parents are both inexplicably insane and my brother has unfortunately become exactly like them. Growing up my mom would judge my body and secretly throw away my clothes since I was a toddler and my dad would say things like I can’t be around your friends and would pull on my clothes and say weird things to me since I was a baby and just say things like “men work differently” and use religion as an excuse for this. I’m tired of having been sexualized since I’ve been able to walk and having no one to back me up in this wretched household as my mom also excuses it under the guise of religion. They also try to use religion to confine me in the home and spam call me anytime I go out for no reason and threaten me. I’ve been sick of having to fight to go out every time I want to. I genuinely want them all to drop dead or maybe just me would be fine too. I have never believed in the idea of a “god” and no matter how much people try to defend it I truly believe religion is a man made religion to control women and it’s really crazy how people try to pick and choose verses and also use excuses like “it’s just because of the time period” or “so many nonbelievers leaving Islam” but also turn around and say it’s a timeless religion and everyone is reverts. I fucking hate the concept of indoctrination and I’m so pissed that I got born into this type of life.

Unfortunately my parents are still fighting to control my life by tracking my location and telling me I have to come home every other weekend but I’m just overjoyed that I won’t have to be around their sickening selves all the time. As soon as I get a job I want to cut contact with them asap and live the life I’ve always wanted. I’m tired of being abused alone and then being shown off to other people/family friends like some trophy while they all shape-shift character.

If anyone can relate or offer any advice I would love that! I’ve just been mega pissed off in my last days here but am trying to remind myself that I’ll finally be out. Although the trauma and physical sickness I’ve gotten from staying here will probably follow me I have hope that it will nonetheless be 1000x better than my current situation ❤️

I will be taking MCB 150 and IB 150 this school year and was wondering if anyone who has previously taken this class has a physical copy of the textbook (Freeman-- Biological Science, 7th edition) and could lend it to me for the school year. I am hoping to reduce costs with income struggles but learn best with physical copy. Thank you ,.

I will be an upcoming freshman studying MCB on the premed track. I will be using my ap credit to skip calc1 and will be doing biostats this semester. Since I’m skipping calc will this make me ineligible to apply to schools like Washu med, which requires you take calc? Or will they see I got the ap credit and be okay with it

I am 18F and will be going to uni soon. I have nothing but hate for my whole family and I really want to go no contact but I need them to pay my tuition. We are pretty mid-high income and the farthest school they agreed on is 55k/yr and unfortunately only a 2hr drive. I am going to be premed so I am wondering if I’ll have to wait until after med school for less stress. I just want them off my back though and I want to spend as little time with them as possible— hopefully finding programs far from home to attend over the breaks. I am also wanting to get a job so they can’t bar me from doing things I like like traveling with friends, but I’m a bit scared how to handle this with uni work. Has anyone else had a similar experience or could offer any advice/resources? I feel like I just want some financial stability before I separate so it doesn’t take a toll on my academics.

I’m an Indian girl with pretty long and well curled but not very voluminous lashes. I want to find something that works for my lashes but I hate mascara (taking them off dries my lashes and always takes some out), and I looked into different types of falsies like clusters and magnetic and I didn’t experiment with them fully. I’m kind of ocd on hygiene and I want something low effort I can remove easily everyday so lash clusters I kind of ruled out. As for magnetic I did not want something weighing my lashes down or damaging them. Does anyone have any tips on something I could use that could give me a good look like falsies, something I can quickly replace every day, and something that won’t or will do as little damage as possible? Also an easy removal process would be ideal. Ifvtheres nothing completely like this then something similar will work. Thanks so much

Hello,
I am 18F and really believe I have adhd. I am going to uni next year and I really want to get medicated because it makes it so much harder to focus and im scared of not doing well. However my parents will not take me to see a psychiatrist or get proper help. I start uni in less than a month so I am unsure of what to do it is making me very anxious. I am thinking I should maybe start supplements as an alternative and I was wondering if I could get recommendations on the strongest/ most helpful ones. I am worried about focus and jumpiness. Thank you
