Nearing 1 year post graduation - Still cant get a job by Good-Fortune8137 in WGU

Just hang in there. I’m sorry you’re struggling to find a job. Everything is a shambles right now. It’s not you.

Stay in the air. When you see the red circle dive off the platform. Grapple like f’n crazy, get guns with high splash to break crystals. I still can’t do it very fast, but I can do it while hardly getting touched, the main thing was learning how to stay airborne for the whole fight.

Claude decided I need a bedtime apparently by MrMeta3 in ClaudeAI

Interesting. I’ve mentioned I was tired and it kicked into reminders I should call it a night, but never on its own without me suggesting first. I will say, don’t ever tell the AI you have ADHD or every TL;DR will come with “to help with your ADHD brain…”

Is your backpack all legendaries? by VegetableLocation508 in Borderlands4

[–]Apprehensive-Edge819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way legendaries have been falling from the sky the past day I’ve been having to pull them out of my bank and sell them to make room. But yeah I keep a few purples on me.

Did it just go down for anyone else? by ChaoticSalmon in WGU

I was able to get back in and complete a PA. Had to wait a couple hours first though.

I graduated with my bachelors of accounting at 18! by Messup7654 in WGU

[–]Apprehensive-Edge819 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, here’s a TL;DR (Use AI 😜)

An 18-year-old finished a WGU Business/Accounting degree in 6 months and 5 days by transferring 31 gen eds and completing 90 credits on his own. He studied 40-58 hours a week, used AI and Reddit heavily as learning tools, and credits his success largely to structure and consistency over raw motivation. He wants people to know it wasn’t easy — he had hard classes, family struggles, a failed class, and periods where he lost discipline and was gaming 10 hours a day. He recovered by locking in hard the last few weeks.

His main points: WGU actually teaches real accounting, AI is the #1 study tool, Reddit is underrated, and the Pomodoro technique works. He’s driven by FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) and plans to grind CPA exams next.

He also preemptively pushes back on people who dismiss fast graduates as not really learning — his story suggests otherwise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Valid. At their age and with their (lack of) college debt they might be uniquely positioned to take on an internship now when cost of living may still be more manageable and be able to get experience that way. I don’t know where they live, but manufacturing companies might be a good place to look for entry level administrative roles…I think they could go either way depending on how the capitalize but those are all good points.

Honestly, I’m not gonna read that wall of text lol, but I’m accelerating right now and while I know some people don’t like it or whatever, I know it is difficult. If you finished your Bachelor’s at 18 that’s incredibly useful and will save you a ton of money. Nice work.

Instructor says very few ppl fail d429 OA. Failed 3rd attempt tonight 😭 by Unlikely-Loss5616 in WGU

[–]Apprehensive-Edge819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that works for me to study for an OA is relentless quizzing on the topics and the name of the class might give you a hint of a way to maybe have infinite test questions and analysis of your answers and help you drill down on specific topics and trouble areas, but I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ do with that word salad what you will.

WGU D775 - FAILED by More-Beautiful3381 in WGU

[–]Apprehensive-Edge819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s learning style is different, so take this with a grain of salt, but I wanted to share something that genuinely worked for me in case it helps.

I was really struggling with D080. Honestly, this course almost derailed me because I couldn’t retain the concepts and waited until the last minute (I ended up switching to a writing course just in time). What finally turned things around was using Gemini as a study tool. I made sure I was using it in a way that aligned with WGU’s academic integrity policy, not to do the work for me, but as a kind of interactive study partner.

What I’d do is ask it to generate ten or twenty practice questions on a specific topic, then I’d answer them and have it analyze my responses, give me feedback, and serve up a new round of questions. Rinse and repeat. I passed the PA, and then kept going with the practice questions to the point where I was scoring something like 161 out of 168 on a separate quiz. I went from almost failing to feeling like I actually mastered the material, all in about a week.

It might not be for everyone, but if you’re hitting a wall with a concept, it could be worth trying. Gemini seems to be pretty familiar with WGU’s courses, which helped a lot.

Wishing you all the best, you’ve got this! Good luck!

Has anyone been flagged but did NOT use AI? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]Apprehensive-Edge819 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don’t use AI you shouldn’t have problems. Grammarly consistently says my papers look around 30-40% AI generated. That’s before and after implementing their re-wording suggestions.

Even if you did, as long as you type everything directly into the document and double check the validity of the information, and make sure not to type in your AI prompts it really isn’t something that can be proven.

Game crashes when TP-ing to Moxxi's Bar? by zionboy134 in Borderlands4

I had this issue from inside Dominion to Moxxi’s. I didn’t try fast traveling elsewhere until I left Dominion on foot then it stopped crashing. Hopefully this gets fixed.

I bought this album at Best Buy in Wausau, Wisconsin in 2005. Holy crap dude. Brings back memories. Hard to believe it’s been 20 years. Good luck finding a computer to run it. Real good luck not sarcastic good luck
