Legal Documents needed for children Over 18?

I keep hearing how you should get the following legal documents for your child once they turn 18. Is anyone doing this? If yes, are you getting the forms for free online (If yes, Where?) or are you going through an attorney or a service like Mama Bear Legal?

Medical Power of Attorney

Advanced Health Care Directive

Financial Power of Attorney

Will

HIPPA Release

Thank you in advance for your time.

Film and Photography

hello! odd question: does UWM have a dark room or film developing lab? i’m an incoming art ed major, im also a hobby film photographer so it would be great if i had a resource to develop my own film instead of paying for it (or dropping it off with my boyfriend who goes to MIAD lol)

PSA: outside of the Midwest, everyone will think you went to UW Madison

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or just neutral. But I wanted to tell you all that outside of WI / the Midwest, people think UW Milwaukee and UW Madison are the same place.

Obviously, a generalization. But it's been true for me in multiple job interviews in California.

People look at my resume and make some comment like "Oh I've heard of that school, go Badgers!" Or some football related comment about how their college team played mine in some championship.

It's kind of nice to get Madison's prestige if it helps lands a job.

Even when I correct people, they don't seem to understand it's different.

Worried I may need to transfer, desperate for advice

Hello, I'm an incoming second year student at uw milwaukee and recently got my cost estimates for the upcoming year. Even with my aid and all federal loans accepted, I will need to pay nearly 10k. I have no idea what to do in this situation as my family is low income (I have a single mother) and I have physical health issues (chronic illness/tissue disorder) as well. I came to UWM for the art ed program specifically. I was in the bridge program last year so I'm assuming that is why tuition was so much cheaper. I've looked into transferring to UW whitewater for a year but can find next to nothing about their art classes or art ed program. I just dont really know what to do or if there are any loan/grant programs available that won't send me 10k into debt or have my family struggling even further. I've gone through all of the college processes alone and am so overwhelmed. I'm struggling to even find a summer job in my hometown. If anyone has any advice or suggestions whatsoever, please let me know. I'm insanely depressed and feel so lost.

My Freshman Year

It's my first year at UWM, obviously. I was wondering a few things, firstly, to any jams students, is this a good schedule, I imagine I'm in the right classes? Is there anything else I should take or swap. My other question is how does joining clubs and groups work? I've been getting into football (soccer) the past year and learning the game, I would like to join a club to play because I'm quite lousy and is there groups for specific teams that I can go to? I was also wondering how is the party scene and how do I get involved in that end? Thanks!

Why didn’t the school of nursing move into the Northwest Quad?

Random thought I had when browsing pics of the NWQ, why didn’t the school of nursing move into the northwest quad? The old hospital would have been perfect for clinical simulations, especially areas like the PACU, ICU, etc.

Poker

Looking to see if anyone knows of any private cash poker games around the Milwaukee area, or if there would be interest in starting one.
I have a group of friends who enjoy playing, but since some of us are under 21 we can’t play at places like Potawatomi Casino Hotel. Also we prefer the at home atmosphere with our own music and our own beer.
We’d be interested in low-stakes cash games, probably $1/$2 blinds with buy-ins around $75-$200. Looking for a friendly, reliable group of players and a good atmosphere.
If anyone knows of existing games or would be interested in joining one, feel free to comment or send me a message.
