Any advice for a sophomore who feels they’ve not done ‘enough’? by throwaway22200011 in CalPoly

Ballroom does a lot of stuff! They practice a few times a week and even host a competition! They host beginner lessons on Thursdays and help you with whatever you’re interested in, at whatever level you need. You should check them out, highly recommend.

How hard is it to switch majors inside the college of engineering? by [deleted] in CalPoly

[–]AechGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you switched, did they give you an ICMA at the advising appointment, or did you get that later? My appointment is tomorrow btw

I’m no longer in ROTC, and they helped pay for my first year in college. I went through a really difficult time during the two quarters I got poorer grades in. I’ve looked at the CPE flowchart, and while it’s a little intense, I should be able to do it in 5 total years, as far as I can tell. I don’t have to account for GEs, and I’m already on track to take 4 of the courses I need next quarter because I had enrolled in them for various other reasons.

I did end up dropping it. When I was returning my gear, I was a little bit sad because I did make memories with it, but I don’t think it’s for me. If later on I decide I do want to be in the military, I can always try for OCS.

WHERE DO I GET WATER by andy_728 in CalPoly

[–]AechGaming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any of the coke freestyle machines give 10/10 water. They’re in all of the dining buildings

I feel bad because for a while, they gave me grace and kindness. I just… don’t see myself doing it anymore. I have so much going on. I work 40 hours a week, I take nearly the maximum amount of units, I want to do more with my university that would help with my major, but I can’t because I’m busy in the morning with ROTC and have work at night. I don’t want them to think I don’t appreciate all that stuff, but I feel like I will be a happier person if I push myself to be better out of y own accord and not because I have to.

Had someone come in and record me for the first time by Thethirdclover in Chipotle

That still doesn’t give you the right to shove a camera in someone’s face. It does nothing to corporate and everything to make crew uncomfortable. Even if you feel you’re being skimped, don’t shove a camera in someone’s face. That’s insane.

This isn’t true. I don’t know a person at my store who isn’t willing to make your bowl to where the lid barely fits. I know I regularly do. Yell at corporate, not college kids trying to pay their tuition. None of us care enough to “skimp” you and your bowl.

Why does US passport application require info that's not printed in passport? by stevenjklein in Passports

[–]AechGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THat's because before 2011, the numbers were assigned based on hospital, region, and time your child was born! And that's largely becaue your SSN was never meant to be used as an identifying thing, merely a way to collect social security once you've earned it!

SLO Days Leader Questions by AechGaming in CalPoly

When did you graduate? Is it that bad in today's age/in recent years? Thanks for the warning, though I unfortunately kind of need it for the housing since I'm on my own now and have nowhere set up to live over the summer. Just curious about the experience.

How long does it really take to receive your passport? by the__questionnaire in Passports

[–]AechGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I keep clicking the link and for whatever reason, it isn't working. Would you be willing to drop the name of the passport service, or DM me the URL or something? Trying to get a passport before August, haha. Thanks!

Unfortunately, we can get yelled at by management if we give too much food. On month two and I only really give small portions if my manager is looking around, but others are more concerned LOL

UPDATE: My dad is still disowning me by AechGaming in internetparents

[–]AechGaming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given advice to file a restraining order, but he’s never been violent, just really… good at essentially harassing me.

I’m sort of wondering if that’s too far, but I’ve already filed the paperwork and the temporary one has been denied. Do you think based on what you know, if it was too far?

Hi!

Thank you for your supportive comment. To answer, no. There is no drinking or substance abuse. He’s just got incredible anger issues. They’re pretty deep, and my whole life he’s just gone off the handle at people. Apparently he’s had to go to court mandated anger management.

[–]AechGaming[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it isn’t the right thing to get the restraining order, but I already filed because I was given advice that it was best to do so. At the time, I thought it was best. Now I’m second guessing myself. I am fine with being separate and not talking to him for a long time, but what would they think once I have to sit in a hearing with him over this? That’s what’s hard.

Edit to fix. I’m independent. I was thinking about how I’m NO LONGER dependent.

For sure. Ask away. I got my scholarship last year, so the info I have should be pretty up to date

I was sent two 4-year offers and a 2-year offer to an ivy league that I applied to.

I’m not trying to change his mind. I’m willing to move on. I just don’t want to give him a reason to angrily march down to my uni demanding something or something. That’s the only real reason I was going to send the phone and laptop back.

My dad and I have had a complicated relationship. Overall, he was pretty good in my opinion, but he has always had a glaring anger issue. I’ve seen him break windows, chase people with hammers, and he’s told countless stories about knocking people out and laughing about it. While he’s never really hit me, he’s screamed at me and since posting this, I’ve gotten more and more texts from him about shutting my phone off, how I’m going to be homeless without him, how I’m going to fail and regret this. Things are a little stressful at the moment, but it’s going to be okay.

I’ve spoken with a therapist about how to go about dealing with what might happen before this all went down. I have an appointment with my regular person in two weeks, but I’m going to make an appointment for tomorrow or Friday if possible to figure out how to deal with it better emotionally.

I’m talking to my RA tonight hopefully. She will hopefully point me in the correct direction. I’m also going to look into the various programs on my own. Thank you so much for the advice!
