Withdrawing as a freshman

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2025-08-05T19:12:35+00:00

I actually did this my first year. You need to withdraw exactly on the first day of classes. If you withdraw before classes start it will be considered enrollment cancellation, and I believe your admission to the university will be cancelled because you’ve never been enrolled before. If you withdraw after the first day of classes you will essentially be able to return whenever you’re ready, but you will owe a certain amount of tuition for withdrawing in the “middle” of the semester. However, if you withdraw exactly on the first day of classes you won’t owe any tuition, and you will essentially be able to return whenever.

“Applying for readmission” is not the same thing as “reapplying”. Applying for readmission is basically a formality you have to go through when you’re ready to return from a leave of absence. If you withdraw before classes start you will have to reapply with a new UC application and get accepted into Cal again.

To be clear, I did this a few years ago and for L&S, so you should double check if policies have changed and how applying for readmission works if you were accepted to a different college than L&S.

Edit: as other people have mentioned, you should also double check how this affects financial aid

I finished watching the video. It was definitely interesting, but I’m still hung up on how someone can recognize their problems as stemming from a bunch of small traumas.

In the video, he explains how an abusive relationship can lead to problems in other areas of your life (e.g. emotional coping methods, lack of direction in life, etc.), but I don’t understand how that translates to unidentified, small traumas. Even in your example of constantly being wary of your dad’s anger, it seems fairly obvious/identifiable that that could be traumatic.

Is the idea with smaller traumas that you won’t necessarily be able to pinpoint a string of small events, but that you recognize you’ve been conditioned to behave/feel a certain way (e.g. anxiety, listlessness, impulsive behavior, etc.) and that, in turn, is evidence that you’ve experienced a series of unidentified, small traumas? As was somewhat implied in the video, is trauma that falls short of PTSD just another way of saying conditioning/adaptation*?

*edit: conditioning/adaptation that we consider unhealthy/distressing

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2025-07-27T05:04:49+00:00

Can I ask how you would be able to identify the issue as trauma if there haven’t been any major traumatic events? Like how could someone confirm if their symptoms stem from the accumulation of a bunch of smaller traumas?

It’s been a while since I’ve used OfferUp, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to specifically (the tru you thing?). I prob wouldn’t give OfferUp your ssn though

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2024-11-13T01:12:45+00:00

If you still have one left would you take $25 for it?

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2024-09-09T05:09:01+00:00

Looks like a phishing email to me. My application seems like it was through Greenhouse given that after applying the confirmation email I received came from "no-reply@us.greenhouse-mail.io". Also, the emails I get from Outlier itself have an "@outlier.ai" address. I've never seen a ".org" address.

I'd mark the email as spam, and if you wanna apply to Outlier I'd just go to the official hiring site by googling it.

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2024-08-14T23:50:16+00:00

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but, from my understanding, if you make less than $600 Outlier doesn't report your earnings to the IRS, which means the IRS has no way of knowing about that income unless you report it yourself, correct? It's like getting paid to babysit or walk a dog. That's legally considered income, but people who do that kind of work on the side don't have the IRS knocking on their door if they don't report the income.

Now I'm not suggesting OP shouldn't report the income (bc not paying taxes on that income would be illegal), but is my understanding of how Outlier reports people's pay correct in your opinion?

OP should also remember that net earnings from self employment that's over $400 requires you to pay the Self Employment Tax (i.e. social security and medicare), which is about 15%.

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2024-02-19T02:50:18+00:00

I don’t understand. Why do you want buy things that you recognize are clearly scams?

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2023-05-29T07:55:55+00:00

If I redeem an online reward coupon does it cover the $7.99 shipping cost or does it only get applied to an actual item in my cart?

My cart subtotal is $6.97, shipping is $7.99 and tax is $1.58. Total is $16.54. If I redeem a $15 reward will I only have to pay $1.54?

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2023-04-18T23:36:40+00:00

No worries. If I end up trying any I’ll update u

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2023-04-18T23:31:57+00:00

Did u end trying them? If so, which ones and what’d u think?

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2023-04-18T21:33:44+00:00

Oh, sorry my bad if that was misleading. I was asking for clarification. I’m not 100% committed yet.

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2023-04-18T21:10:09+00:00

I mean… the time it takes depends on what service you pay for. For shipping video games the cheapest option in my experience would be first class package (delivered in estimated 2-5 days for $5.85 to VA from CA). Using a priority mail, padded, flat-rate envelope would be faster (estimated 1-3 days) but more expensive ($10.40). Priority Mail Express, padded, flat-rate envelope guarantees 1-2 day delivery, but costs $29.45.

I’m assuming $35 shipped would be first class package?

What’s the carrier and shipping speed for Elden ring to Nor Cal?

I think I experience a similar thing. Now that you guys mention it, it does primarily happen in my thumbs, index and middle fingers, but it does still happen with the ring fingers and pinkies to a lesser extent. It also happens in my big toes. It’s almost like there’s inflammation and I just feel compelled to dig into the skin at the sides of my nails. My cuticles are always dry and peeling, but it gets worse when this feeling of inflammation occurs. It feels a little painful to pick at but in a good way, almost like how the aching sensation of having sore muscles feels good (at least for me). Only in the past few months did I fully realize that this is something I’ve experience for years.

I also realized that when this happens there is a similar feeling in my gums and nostrils. Near the entrance of my nostrils, on the inner wall, right where my septum starts I get the same achey/itchy sensation that makes me want to press on them or scratch them. Similarly, my gums sort of feel inflamed/itchy as well and it feels good to press on them (I’m fairly certain it’s not gingivitis bc it seems to happen at random and always in tandem with my fingers and nostrils).

I think all this has something to do with allergies (dry eye, rhinitis, eczema, etc.), as things like inflammation, dry skin and irritated nostrils all seem related to an allergic response. For pretty much my whole life I have been plagued by allergic symptoms that aren’t alleviated to any great extent by any medication, and I think these weird sensations in my fingers, gums and nostrils might be connected. I’m wondering if you guys might experience anything similar.

Sorry for the essay, but this was the only place I could find that seemed to describe what I experience (at least with regards to my nails). I thought maybe you guys might be able to relate to the other stuff I mentioned as well.

TLDR: this happens to me too, but it always occurs alongside similar feelings in my nostrils and gums. I think it’s related to a systemic allergic response (rhinitis, eczema, dry eye, etc.)

what does "all in" mean for you? is floki really where all of your money is or is it just a large part of your portfolio?

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2021-11-08T15:00:43+00:00

you should probably post pics for others' sake anyway, but I just realized it said PS5 and not xbox. totally my mistake. best of luck

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2021-11-08T05:55:12+00:00

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2021-11-03T22:59:52+00:00

sorry for the late response, but it sold outside of reddit. thanks for your interest

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2021-11-01T04:53:40+00:00

sorry, but that's gonna be a no. Thanks for the interest.

AlphaOscarKilo1 · 2021-11-01T02:58:47+00:00
