I graduated this past May and was wondering how long is necessary to prepare for the test? I understand it varies from person to person but I wanted a ballpark number based on the fact that I am a recent grad plus I have no idea how much of an understanding I should have over the material.
Basically been a month of me living at home and all I wonder is, is it normal to be criticized every single day? Like I say I want to go get coffee and my mom turns it into a humiliation ritual by screaming at me where my dad and grandma can hear, saying I need to lose weight. Everyday I’ve been home, I hear about my weight multiple times a day. I told my dad I am going to the store to walk around and he says to make sure I save my money and just because I finally have money doesn’t mean I should be spending it all the time. Mind you, I didn’t even say I bought anything. Any action I do comes with criticism. I said I am going out to walk around and would be back in three hours and my dad asked why do I need to be out for so long. I already struggle with my mental health and now staying until I get a better job or better pay or even just save enough to move out because this is too much. I remember I initially wanted to stay at my college apartment but they said I am not allowed to because I only make $25 an hour and had no savings. They screamed at me and told me they would be horrible parents if they let me move out just to struggle but the concept of them thinking they could allow me to move out makes me so determined to save up and gather the courage to leave. I always took the being silent route because any time I speak up about my feelings, I immediately get the argument of they suffered so much for me that I should be grateful for everything they do for me. The argument of we sacrificed so much feels like a get out of jail free card. I guess what bothers me is how helpless I feel.
Update:
My father called me to tell me he is so upset that they have done so much for me yet I always say no to their requests on information. So I partially caved and told him a slightly lower number as well as my mom because apparently she cried and they threatened to cancel my grad party. I told them I would give them the money tomorrow. I hate how I basically caved but even more-so, I hate this prison I was born in to. Any sign of independence is me being ungrateful and hating them. I wish I could be the person who would just upset them and be done with it. I guess seeing how they get violent whenever my brother went against them has scared me from standing up to them. Also the fact that since they isolated me from the rest of my family, I essentially don’t have anyone except them. I feel super trapped and the worst part is this is not the end. Sometimes I want to runaway and never speak to them again. They make me feel crazy the way they speak of themselves as saints. They told me about how I have access to their bank accounts which should make it fair for them to know my pay as if the reason isn’t because they never wanted to learn how to open it themselves. They brought up how they gifted me a car when in reality my dad said he wanted to get me a new car and told me all my grad gifts would go to a car. Mind you the grad present money is from relatives and family friends but they said since the people only are giving me money since they know my parents, it technically is that my parents gave me the gifts since it came from their friends and family members. He insisted on buying me a car early and insisted that my grad present money would pay for the car so in reality, I am actually paying for it. They said if I hide from them now, it basically means I will abandon them as an adult. I am 23 years old. Sometimes I want to runaway and leave everything they have gotten me behind to start a new life and never speak to them again. I am so tired, absolutely so tired
Unfortunately I had to move back home with my parents because I didn’t have enough money on my own to move out. Now that I moved in, everyone loves knowing everything and I am trying to learn to set boundaries so my time at home wont suck. My dad asked me how much I make and I said I won’t tell him. He responded, “it’s not like I want your money but I want to know”. My mom asked me as well and she said “I don’t want your money, I just want to know”. She also is saying I never told her I got my first paycheck when I feel like I did but she says in our culture when you get your first paycheck, you need to give some to your parents as well as my grandma so I they can bless it so that they can use it for themselves to bless it. I truly believe they want to know just because they want to control what I do with my money. Am I wrong for wanting to keep how much I make a secret? They don’t require that I pay rent nor do they need it and I feel like they only want to know just so they can know how much money they can ask me for and so they can control how I use it and make comments on how I use my money. I know keeping it a secret will cause they to ignore me for me bit but I always feel bad and give in. But this time I want to try to keep it to myself so they leave me alone. Need advice.
Hi everyone,
I was offered an entry level position with a construction company specializing in environmental remediation as an Erosion and Sediment Specialist. The offer is beginning at $23 an hour. What is a reasonable number to negotiate for given that I have a BS in Chemical Engineering with a concentration in environmental engineering and sustainability as well as an erosion and sediment state certification.
Just playing the sims 2 as one does and after playing this game for about a decade or so, why was I just today years old when I noticed that the pages change while my sim was reading the newspaper?? If someone could also let me know how you guys take good images of your gameplay that would be beautiful ❤️
Hey guys, so I am proud to say I graduated with a bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering! However the only job I was able to land pays $23 an hour, meaning my income would be $2800. I currently live in an apartment where I have been living for the past three years for school but in my parents head, I was gonna move back in. My parents have offered to let me pick any of the three rooms available in the house to live in and said I would be living there rent free meaning I could save money. The thing is, when I lived at home I was super depressed and my family was the main reason why. Getting yelled at daily, have random responsibilities forced onto me while enduring verbal abuse. My dad keeps making it seem like if I move out, my life will be horrible and I will be in a bad place because I don’t make much money. However my rent is only $980 a month. Is it worth it to stick it out a struggle financially for a bit living on my own or to move back in and struggle mentally? My plan is to actively look for better jobs in the mean time but yea, I want independence and to be okay mentally but I am scared that my parents are right and that I won’t be able to take care of myself financially.
So basically I am in the position where the final can make or break my grade but I would need like an A on the final😭 Is there a curve at the end in Orgo 2? If so how much is it?
