Okay so we have been factoring trinomials for around 4 classes now and I still can’t seem to understand it. I have a quiz on Thursday and I’m convinced I’m about to bomb it. I have pages and pages of lectures we do in class but they don’t help when I actually do the work. In class it’s not so bad but when I get home and have to do homework it’s like I never learned anything at all.

It seems whenever I use the methods I’ve been taught (grouping or trial and error) I somehow mess up.

For example this problem is on my HW:

12x ⁴+17x ²+6

I have no clue where to go from here.

So I’ve played a few campaigns but this is my first campaign where I have prepared spells. I’m playing a death domain cleric and I’m not sure how I should list which spells I want to prepare. I usually just write all my spells and what they do in a notebook but it’d be hard to write different spells down every session. Should I just write down a few I want to rotate preparing or just pick from the wiki of which spells I use that session and just forget about writing them down?

I watched Rebels a few years ago and I wanted to rewatch a couple episodes. Specifically I wanted to rewatch the ending of season 1 but it’s been incredibly difficult to find a place to watch it since I don’t have Disney+ anymore. Is there a reason for this? I’m kinda curious. I ended up finding somewhere to watch it but I find it strange you can’t even buy the full season on YouTube or Amazon.

My only assumption is Disney wants people to go through Disney+ instead but I’ve never seen something like this before.

So I’ve been aroace for quite awhile now and Ive always imagined living with roommates most my life. I currently live with 2 close friends of mine and they are a couple. I’ve never really thought about not living with them until recently. I just get this feeling our lives may lead us down different paths one day and I don’t want to hold them down or be held down by trying to compromise our goals.

I’m not sure how my future will pan out but I’ve been trying to come to terms with the idea of being alone. Some times I like to ponder the idea of living in my own place where I don’t have to worry about anyone else but the thought of being so alone takes me out of it real quick. Even if I get a pet cat or something it’s nothing like the human connection that comes with living with another person.

Does anyone here live alone? What is it like? Do you get lonely?

Hello ppls. I have a writing project right now and we are writing about community. The first step of the project is to write a personal narrative about an experience within one of your communities. This narrative will later be used to write an essay on whether or not our ideas of community are worth exploring.

I wanted to write about my experience in high school marching band. Specifically my first competition. I want to later use this as evidence for why expression and creation is what makes communities.

Right now this first part of just writing about the experience has me stumped. It’s been a few years since I was last in school and even longer since I wrote an actual personal narrative. The last few years of high school we were really on writing research papers or just taking tests. I never really got to write a narrative.

I also want to try to keep it very grounded. I want to make the reader feel like they are in my shoes and can feel what I felt but I don’t know how to explain this without doing too much where it almost feels fake.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hello ppls. I’m currently in community college getting my pre-engineering credits. I started in college algebra cuz it’s been a few years since I was in highschool and I desperately needed a refresher.

This has set me back a little and I was hoping to just skip pre calc entirely to give myself a little boost. Only problem is I’ve literally never taken a pre calc class in my life and I know nothing about trigonometry.

I’m usually someone that can’t really learn well without a teacher physically teaching me but I wanted to at least give it an attempt to learn on my own so I can try to take the placement test in the winter semester.

Any advice on where to start and how I should practice?

Heyo ppls. I’m 2 weeks into community college. I’m 21 and decided to finally go to school and I’m currently doing pre-engineering to get my pre reqs out the way. I’m starting with highschool algebra since there is a lot I’ve forgotten. I was just kinda curious how long it took for others to catch up and if it took longer than 4 years? I’m planning on taking summer classes but idk how much I should take or how I should plan out which classes to take.

I’ve unfortunately been doing a little doomscrolling on this subreddit cuz I have a flight on Sunday from DTW-JFK and it’s just got me super worried about cancellations now.

This will be my first time flying JetBlue since I was previously a Spirit Airlines person and I was hoping JetBlue could be my next budget airline but it seems like things have been pretty rough from all the posts I’ve seen. I’ve only flown a couple times and they were all with Spirit which was always pleasant in my experience.

I was wondering if anyone has had any pleasant or good experiences with JetBlue as of recently? I’m hoping to ease my anxiety about booking with them. If not that’s fine too lol.

Just saw an article about 3 Planned Parenthood locations in my state are closing permanently. One of them was unfortunately the one I got to for my T. There’s not much I can do about it. All I can do now is go to the Planned Parenthood that’s 30-45 minutes away.

This is just super frustrating. I had the care I needed 15 minutes down the road from me and this bullshit administration has taken that from me. How long till the other locations can’t stay afloat? Who knows what could happen at this point.

So I’m 21 and finally decided to go to college. I was bouncing between many career paths and also seeing how long I could hold out till I felt like my art was good enough to make something out of it or attempt to make something out of it. It stressed me out a lot and made me super insecure about my art so I decided I didn’t want to hate art because of it being a job. I wanted to enjoy it and thought art being a hobby would be better in the long run.

This lead to me deciding to go to college and pursue engineering. I haven’t even started school and have this absolute existential dread looming over me. I know it’s a hard major plus I’m going to be working while going to school. What if I lose time for my art? It’s my passion and I hate the thought of losing it. What if I’m too busy after I graduate to draw? What happens then? Will I lose all the skills I’ve worked so hard to get?

Idk it’s kinda hard for me to explain. Feels like I’m giving up a part of myself. Something that I told myself I would never let happen. Maybe I’m worrying too much and it’ll all be fine but what if it isn’t? I want this degree and I’m going to be very proud of myself when I finish it but I can’t shake this feeling of dread.

Just some thoughts I had to get out as school is fast approaching. Hoping everything works out though.

I was literally on here a few weeks ago with the same problem but I thought the feeling would go away. Unfortunately it seems to be persisting.

Had a situation where I had bad imposter syndrome at the barbershop a few weeks ago. I thought it was a one off thing but it wasn’t.

Im 21 currently in the process of going to community college for the first time here in the fall. I’ve been on T for a little over 3 years now and almost a year post top surgery. I pass pretty easily. Every time I go in for an orientation, to get my student ID, see my advisor, etc I get this intense feeling of feeling like an outsider, like everyone is judging me or seeing me as a woman.

My name is still my birth name which is quite feminine. I’ve tried different names and always felt awkward being called a new name so I never changed it socially or legally. It’s always led me into these awkward situations but I’ve always been able to laugh it off. As of lately I feel like people expect to see a woman then they see me and I feel like a freak.

The college is decently progressive. They have an lgbtq club. They have discrimination policies and stuff like that. So it’s not like a fear for my life or something like that. It does have a large religious presence which I think contributes a bit to the insecurity cuz I’ve always been nervous around religious ppl but no one had said anything so far.

I’m always a confident person too since I started passing. I’ve never been insecure about being trans and I love to be open about it to people who want to learn and I like being queer but something in the past few months has just made me so much more insecure about my identity and idk what it is.

Shit sucks. I can’t pinpoint where this insecurity or dysphoria is coming from either. Well I can I just don’t know how to fix it. It’s not anything physical so it’s not just something medication or surgery could fix. It’s mental and idk what to change in my mentality to not feel like this. I’ve always never cared what people think but it seems to have backfired in my face.

Just had to get this off my chest and write my thoughts down. I don’t know any other trans ppl irl so this is the only place where others have an understanding of what I feeling.

Hello ppls! I built my PC a few years ago but I don’t have a way to get Bluetooth on it. Ive always kinda been fine with using a cable but I want to start using Bluetooth instead. I don’t really know what to buy tho? I’ve seen some people say to buy a Bluetooth dongle but isn’t there also a part you can put in your PC? Also can the dongle hold multiple devices or just 1?

Hello ppls! Back in January I switched from Boost Mobile to Verizon. I had heard great things about Verizon my whole life so it was my first choice. I got on a plan with my 2 roommates and we got the $55 unlimited plan and some new phones so we are locked into a 3 year contract. I’m always hesitant of contracts like this but I had never heard any complaints about Verizon so I went in being okay with it.

For the first few months it was okay but the last 3-4 months have been awful. My phone barely works when I’m out of the house. I have full bars and can’t look something up on google or open up directions to a place I’m going to. I have a video of my phone taking almost a minute to load something on google I mean it’s ridiculous. Some times I can barely even send messages to ppl either. It’s not just me either my roommates have also had the same problems.

I always heard that Verizon has the best coverage and ppl never really had this problem but when I get Verizon it sucks I guess. Idk if this is a problem with my plan or others have this problem as well but it’s frustrating asf. Idk what to do about it cuz I want to switch services but I’m locked in now.

I got my surgery last September and going into it I knew I didn’t really care about having the scars.

Anyways around 3 months post op my surgery team noticed I had a small bit of keloid scarring in the middle of my chest which I knew was a possibility cuz I’ve had keloid scarring on other scars. I didn’t really mind but they just gave me some steroid shots and told me to keep massaging it. We repeated this for about 2-3 more appointments.

At some point I had been cleared to do scar care but never did and I was supposed to have more steroid shots but kinda got sick of going so I stopped.

Anyways I’m not too worried about the scar needing to fade or anything I just see so many people talk about how important scar care is and stuff so I was wondering if there was any actual damage that could be done?

All I’ve heard is stiffness could be a problem but I’ve never had this problem besides the keloid thing and that I noticed as soon as I saw my scar like a week after surgery.
