kinda emotional about our language/history

hi, im a Bengali who was born outside Bangladesh, and my parents never really made me feel connected to my culture or anything, so im kinda whitewashed. I asked people here what I could do to learn Bangla, and I remember someone saying to learn French or Spanish or something because that would be more helpful. idk it's just kinda sad in a way how many Bengalis are kinda abandoning their language, although our people fought for it. Even my mom told me to learn French instead, coz that would be better for my future lol. I mean, idk, maybe im just being dramatic. I watched a documentary on the Bangladesh genocide a few weeks back, and that made me really emotional, and our country is I think the only country that fought for its language. It's just really sad seeing this. My Bangla vocabulary also isn't that great, and my mom isn't fluent in English, so whenever im feeling intense emotions I cannot express them properly, and that's super frustrating. Anyways, i just wanted to put this out there.

Update on the bb situation!

I dont think anyone cares LMAO but lemme update. So i obviously washed everything and did all the ‘basic’ things one should do when they have bb. I have been checking regularly and the ones that i have been finding look superrrr dried out or just not full of blood i guess? and aren’t adult bb so i kinda feel hopeful! Just thought of sharing this because these past few months have been hectic because of these creatures

I think im gonna lose my mind

I have bed bugs and i have a feeling that the infestation is just getting worse, i mean it is clearly.
Im stressed and i dont know what to do. With everything going on i just wanna sit and cry but that isnt an option.
Is there anything that i can do to get rid of them?? I dont have the money for expensive treatments and i live in my moms house and she’s saying me to diy it but that shit clearly isn’t working. I can’t get crossfire because that isn’t available in Canada. I keep seeing mixed reviews on Diamatious earth food grade (however that is spelled) and mattress encasements and everything feels kinda hopeless because i have other thing going on and its all just building up.

Is there absolutely anything that is somewhat affordable and will get rid of these?

Problem with application/registration

So I didn't collect my hs diploma, and I have a hold on my account for missing documents, which won't let me register for my courses. Does anyone know whom i can contact for this?
I have the OSSD thing that comes with the report card that shows I meet all the requirements; I don't have the official diploma. Also, does anyone know if I can contact my school for the diploma rn? Or TDSB?

Does mattress encasement actually help with bedbugs?

I have bed bugs, but it's not a lot. I sprayed down my mattress a few days ago and saw maybe like 7-10 bed bugs and one on my curtain, which is directly in front of my bed and doesn't even touch my bed. Sprayed it rn and saw 2 bed bugs and plan of getting mattress encasement and diatomaceous earth food grade. What I am unsure of is the mattress encasement tho because I keep seeing mixed reviews of it. Will it help or not? And if not, what will help? Would getting a steamer be better instead of that?

Weird dry and dark patch on my upper lip. Any idea what this could be?

I’ve had this for a few years now and it didn’t bother me at first but it looks so dark and weird compared to the rest of my lip, i dont like it.
It feels super dry, i use Vaseline to moisturize but it feels dry after a while.

What is it like at St.James campus?

I'm starting in September and im nervous as HECK. It's a 1.3hr commute for me, so I need some sorta motivation to get myself to attend classes or im genuinely cooked, and I need a few friends, honestly, even one friend is fine.
How is it like at St.James so far? Especially the finance/accounting courses? The students and stuff? How is the social life there, clubs, etc.

How do I log in to gbc stu-view?

So, I'm an applicant, and when I click on the applicant option and put in my login details, it takes me to another portal where I have to log in again. I kept the same details, and it didn't let me log in. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and this wasn't there for me before when I paid part of my tuition fees. Am I supposed to contact them or something im lost as hell
