Hi everybody, I think my my exam in two days and I was just wondering if there’s any biology Quizlet I can use to study, right now I’ve just been studying the ones I found online but I have no clue what to expect!

Hi everyone i (20) left my family household in January. I didn’t go anywhere far, I just decided to live on my college campus not necessarily move out of my parents house, but I have not been back to their house since January and don’t have plans of going back soon.

Basically, what have been happening was that anytime I would come back for breaks (and prior to college) the toxic behavior would get worse . I use not allowed to speak up for myself. Otherwise, my dad and older sibling would hit me and call me names and dictate my time/ completely have a lack of care for my own obligations, for example, walking in in the middle of a job interview on the zoom to ask me to give him a glass of water (also to my other siblings go thru similar things too but this isn’t abt them)

my mom is pretty much working three jobs because my dad refuses to get a stable job again, So she is always frustrated, tired, yelling, and screaming, and on top of that I basically had to be the one to do all of the housework because she works 60+ hrs and my dad refuses to help. I would also be taking care of my elderly grandparent and younger sibling, running errands while still working and doing class and at the end of the day instead of getting a thank you I would just get yelled at, called names, needs ignored and have my entire time and day taken away from me . My dad quit his job two years ago and he’s working for an MLM and putting religion above his family. Even forcing us adult kids who lived at home to give our money and time to the church they go to(the pastor is a millionaire by the way) 😑

Anyways, my older sibling lives with my parents and my older sibling believes that I’m being irrational for basically not going home during the holidays in January and corroborated with my parents who are controlling and didn’t want me to live in my college apartment during the break. basically my older sibling came came to my apartment during the break , tried to get me to go with them in their car after I told them I don’t want to and , like, grabbed my wrist digging their nails into my wrist; I pulled free and walked away. I told my older sibling that I don’t appreciate that and I’m not gonna talk if you’re gonna physically hurt me!!! Eventually i found out that my parents were hiding in my apartment building waiting to get into my apartment and I had to call the cops because I had roommates and it’s trespassing.

Basically, I hadn’t seen them all the way up until yesterday, I still have the car that they handed down to me from my older sibling, completely in their name it’s their property and it started having problems with the engine that would cost thousands of dollars to repair so I just wanted to tell them before I did anything and they imposed that they would come down to my campus. so when they came here, obviously they didn’t come here to help me with the car they came to get a “confession” out of me. And I didn’t give them anything. I just gray rocked and I could tell my dad was angry. He wanted to hit me, but thank God we were in public.

Anyways, I’ve just been going through so much financial hardship, also wondering how I’m gonna pay the $10,000 tuition bill this semester, I put in an appeal for extra financial aid due to my situation but I’m just still anxious. I hope they give me some extra aid. I’ve also been working 40+ hours a week in a warehouse., worried about paying for the car issues (I only have 1.8k in savings, but even if my parents wanna help, I’m hesitant because I know it comes with strings attached…) but I’m also planning on switching academic programs at an entirely different university next semester- due to the fact that the one I’m currently majoring in, doesn’t make any money, and this is a very specialized program only offered at a few schools in the state.

also being extremely lonely here in college because I left my religious organization because I don’t believe in that religion anymore so I don’t have any more friends … it’s been a really lonely summer. I’ve just been working my job losing self-confidence, not talking to anybody at work because I’m so scared of being judged or people who are gonna take advantage of me because I’m also neurodivergent and a bit naive (I was raised extremely religious, so I don’t know a lot of things socially)

Basically, my parents told me that I’ll never achieve anything if I don’t have them by my side and I should be grateful they helped me pay for as much of college as they could (which I am grateful I just don’t like the strings attached), and also using like religious language to say, im basically in trouble with God for going against THIER wishes

I just wanted to know any advice , if anybody’s been in a similar situation, a word of wisdom, financial advice or like support groups you guys know of anything that colleges give. I tried to go to therapy, but my therapist wasn’t really helpful and just talked about herself every session I went to. I really don’t want to talk to AI so I just have a discord server I talk to but obviously I don’t wanna make it all about my problems in there…

Title basically.

So basically, I am in college right now and what happened is that my parents “gifted” me a car when I started college but they’re taking it away from me because I moved out “without their permission” and my younger sibling and other family members need a car . since it’s their car legally I can’t really do anything about it, I will have it till this Friday, then i’m car-less. My city has terrible public transport and since I’m in the south it is over 100°F a day so I can’t bike around and Ubers to my job cost $60 both ways. I get paid $18 an hour, so transport with Uber will take 30% of my weekly paychecks which is incredibly frustrating.

I will need to buy a used car preferably a Honda or Toyota within the next month and I’ve been looking around my city for something under 12000, with 150k+ miles on it . I could probably get a loan from my credit union (7.4% APR for 48 months) with my credit score of 670 & I can put 10% down BUT I only have 1.5k in savings.

I am worried that since I’ll be getting an older car I’ll have a lot of repairs and I am in college and I make like $500 a week right now.

I don’t know I guess I’m looking for Advice on buying an older car and managing financially. I don’t eat out/doordash since I like to cook. I did have a shopping problem ($500 debt to KLARNA + $200 left in cc debt that I’m paying off and never touching the credit card again) I got on medication that help manage impulsive of decisions bc I have adhd so haven’t shopped impulsively since June. I have $894 in medical debt and $200 left to pay for summer classes. Overall i’m frustrated that I’ll probably have to move back with my parents which is bad situation since they’re physically and verbally abusive but I think I can manage if I get my finances in check. Sigh.

A lot of our parents see us merely as property/assets that need to be managed

That’s why they always talk about: “How can you be depressed” or “how can you say that I didn’t do enough for you when I fed you I gave you a place to stay and I pay your school fees?” That’s also why they like to dictate what our career will be, who we marry etc.

a lot of our parents didn’t have us because they wanted to give their kids a better life; they just wanted to “one up” their peers by showing they can have a greater return on investment with little input (low affection and high discipline). We aren’t really human to them, just property.

I’m not gonna say much got rejected from three schools I got a 96 on the HESI. I have a 3.4 GPA but I guess my interviews were bad and everybody wants to be a rad tech and I just didn’t make the cut. Honestly, I think I am just gonna pivot to another career path after all of the effort I’ve put in over all this time I just I don’t feel like trying anymore. They want you to retake the HESI because they’re not gonna accept the scores after certain while, then you have to pay for more applications, you have to retake classes you didn’t do too well, and it’s just too much for an associates degree I just I can’t keep at it. I’m so burnt out and I don’t have anybody in my life like this is all I need I don’t have a support system. So congrats to everybody who made it .

I just wanted to succeed and I just keep hitting a brick wall. I’m so tired.

I took my exam today and I aced it with a 92! I took anatomy and physiology, math, grammar, vocab, and reading comprehension.

My lowest score was reading comprehension I didn’t study it at all (I have adhd so I really just skimmed through them—don’t be like me!!!). I scored an 82. I got 100 on the AP section just study the Quizlet that’s going around for V1. I made sure to memorize those and yeah.Math I got a 96 I didn’t study either.

I’m pretty sure there were other Quizlet for grammar and vocab I didn’t study them. I could’ve done better but I ended up getting a 93 and a 96 for both so I guess it doesn’t matter.

I’m 20 I’m in college and summer is coming up, but I’m staying on campus for the summer which means it’s gonna be a ghost town , and I don’t wanna be bored out of my mind. I wanted to start using event apps can find things to do in my city so I’m not bored in the summer. Yeah my only problem is that I feel like most of these events is mostly people in their 30s+ older people because most people my age are not interested in going to events that don’t involve alcohol and smoking (I’m not trying to be a “pick me” 😫 I’m just being real)

but obviously I am only 20 so Im worried I will feel ostracized when I go to events and try and talk to people but I can’t relate because I’m not older.

So how do y’all feel about making older or younger friends in general and is this a good idea?

For context I’m in my early 20s in college and (I’m not looking for people to preach to me) but basically I started deconstruction from religion late last year and subsequently lost most of the people I called friends because I guess we were only really friends because we were religious…

Anyways, I’ve been trying my best to put myself out there and make friends ever since December but it’s been really hard . I’m also in Houston. I didn’t grow up here but I came here for college and I’ve never really smoke or drink and I don’t really know how comfortable I am to do that, I mean, I’ve never really tried it because of fear. My family is not very supportive either, my parents are pastors, so they’ve always been very busy my whole life . now that I’m in college, I’m pretty much on my own for the most part.

Anyways, summer is coming up and I pretty much don’t have anything to do except working part time . I would join a campus org like black students Association , but school is pretty much over so no meetings.

I don’t really have any hobbies either, except for cooking and baking… I think I made one friend this past semester but she’s pretty busy because she works and takes care of her siblings on top of school, and she also graduates in December 😫

I’m also neurodivergent so I don’t “click” that well with most people. On top of that most other black women are heavily Christian or Muslim here too which makes it harder. I’m trying to move out of Houston and go to Chicago after I graduate but for the meantime I at least want to meet people and have fun.

Any advice ?

Hi all, is there any interview resources on campus? I have an interview for a program I applied to later this month and I really need help preparing I tend to suck at interviews and get rejected from places.
