Look at your course plans to find out how many hours of classes you have per subject throughout the semester (eg: 5 subjects, 60 hours for 3 papers, 45 for the remaining 2, +2 hours of skill D every week, +1 hour of mentoring attendance/per) should make about 380-420 hours of classes per semester, find out how many hours you can miss to maintain 85% also find out how many hours you can miss to maintain 75% ; remember you get to claim medical leaves without having to pay any fine as long as you have 75% attendance over all given you have all required documents and apply for blue form on time (i.e. within 7-10 days of resuming classes). Even if you don't make 85% with medical leaves you will be exempt from having to pay a fine if you manage to reach 84.5, or pay the minimum amount of 2k applicable for the range between 80-84 iirc. Refer to current university policies just to be sure, all this information is available in the handbook.

Plan your leaves tactfully, holidays, long weekends, bad weather days. Keep a tally for the number of classes you can miss overall and per subject.

Do your calculations on the first day of the semester and keep a log on your mirror or something so you can see it everyday and stop stressing, damn. Yeah it's inconvenient but it's not impossible people.

I've been rewatching Shameless, and one opinion I have now that I never had the first time around is this:

I don't hate Eddie.

Before people jump down my throat, let me make something clear. I am not arguing that Eddie was a good father. He wasn't. He was emotionally cruel. He publicly humiliated his daughter. He was rigid, judgmental and often incapable of showing love in a healthy way. But Shameless has never been a show about good people. It's a show about damaged people. And that's exactly why I think Eddie deserves far more nuance than the fandom gives him.

What exactly was this man's life?

He's trapped in a marriage with Sheila, a woman whom the show itself portrays as having an extremely unhealthy and coercive relationship with sex. We literally watch her sexually assault Frank. We learn she forced partners into painful sexual acts. Imagine years, possibly decades inside a marriage where intimacy looked like that. Is it really impossible that Eddie's relationship with sex became completely distorted? That he retreated into religion because it was the only place where the world still made sense to him? People laugh at his religious extremism. I look at it and wonder what broke him first.

Then we get to Karen. This is where I think the fandom refuses to be intellectually honest. Karen wasn't simply a teenager exploring her sexuality.

She was provocative.

She was vulgar.

She weaponized sex.

She knew exactly what disgusted her father, exactly what humiliated him, exactly what shattered his worldview—and she repeatedly chose to confront him with those things. It wasn't just rebellion. It often felt deeply personal. Almost every interaction between them became a contest over who could wound the other more deeply.

People always say Eddie constantly judged Karen. Sure. But Karen also seemed determined to destroy whatever dignity Eddie had left. She mocked his beliefs. She mocked his authority. She mocked the very idea that he could ever deserve respect. Their relationship became so poisonous that neither of them could see the other as family anymore. They became enemies sharing a house. That's why Eddie's ending never felt satisfying to me. It felt devastating. He doesn't die in some blaze of villainy. He hangs himself.

Strip away everything else, and what you're left with is a man who had completely lost his wife, his daughter, his identity, his self-respect and, ultimately, the will to keep living. Every single time the fandom talks about Eddie, the conversation ends with "he called Karen a slut." That's it. Case closed.

Meanwhile Frank manipulates his children, abandons them, steals from them and destroys their lives for over a decade, yet fans write essays trying to understand him. Monica repeatedly devastates her family, yet she's analyzed through the lens of mental illness. Sheila sexually assaults someone and is remembered as quirky and lovable. Only Eddie is denied the possibility of being tragic. I'm not asking anyone to like him.

I'm asking why he's the one character people refuse to view through the same complicated lens that Shameless asks us to use for almost everyone else.

To me, Eddie wasn't just an abusive father. He was also a broken husband, a broken man, and ultimately one of the saddest characters in the early seasons.

That's what makes his story tragic. Not because he was innocent. But because almost nobody in Shameless is.

I think it's customary to light a j when you're watching a show and an episode comes on where the characters are smoking up,,,,,you know so you don't feel left out

If you message a poster asking for detailed information — rent, deposit, furnishing, location, timelines, house rules, etc and then decide you’re not interested, inform them. Ghosting after extracting information shows a complete lack of basic courtesy and wastes time, especially when the person posting is coordinating with multiple leads during an already exhausting house-hunt.

Yes, it is entirely the poster's choice whom they reply to or proceed with. That is not the issue. The issue is initiating a conversation, requesting details, receiving them, and then disappearing without a word. Once information has been shared with you, the bare minimum responsibility is to clearly state disinterest. Anything less is inconsiderate.

Additionally, if there are strict, non-negotiable conditions (only vegetarian, only non-smoker, lifestyle restrictions, etc.), these must be disclosed at the very beginning. Dropping deal-breakers after 10–15 messages of back-and-forth is careless and unnecessary. If a criterion is absolute, it should not be an afterthought.

Clear communication is not optional. Courtesy is not a favor. If neither can be managed, don’t initiate contact.

I've been in noida for less than 9 months and this will be the third time I'm moving. The way people extort you here is insane. After daily long hours one wants to return home and relax but the management in pgs here is so rude, inconsiderate and non cooperative that after a point it starts feeling like harassment. I try to keep my cool and remain polite but they only see it as an opportunity to put you through more bullshit.
