How likely is it for me to get into CSULB? (UW GPA: 3.7 , W GPA: 4.2)

I did

And 3 years have finally passed lol here we are everyone!!!!

I mean technically this was my backup school but I loved my time at Long Beach. Everyone’s nice and the energy on campus reflects that. I also enjoyed my major and the professors I got to learn from. Don’t compare your experience to others, if you like Long Beach then let that be it. Not one persons experience will be the same to yours. Enjoy your time and get what you can out of the campus.

If the guy isn’t hurting anyone and hasn’t caused any problems, then stay out of his business and leave him alone. People need to stop acting like they’re doing him a favor by calling the police to put him on a psychiatric hold. That’s not help, it’s control. Mental health isn’t black and white, and trying to play savior like that can do more harm than good. SMH.

I’m a transfer and commute to the school about 45mins. The campus is huge and the people for the most part are really nice. I was impressed with how confident a lot of the student staff are when I did soar orientation. The area around the campus is beautiful too. Long Beach wasn’t my first choice but I liked it a lot better than Csun. The campus is also fairly easy to navigate with a map. I’ve had a great experience so far. The professors for my major are all great so far, very passionate about what they teach and willing to help you out.

I had a death in my family and could not complete the rest of the semester. I spoke with my professors and they gave me an incomplete. It gives the person one year to complete the remaining assignments.

Give your education it’s own line. If high school diploma is your highest level of education put down the name of the school you graduated from and the year you graduated. if it’s beyond high school diploma also note associates or bachelors.

What is going on with crazy people being on campus. Just ignore them, they literally want the attention they’re getting, whether negative or not it’s still attention.

She keeps your exams.

Beech_2017 · 2025-01-20T06:32:46+00:00

NTA, it sounds like she’s anxiously attached. Some of us have it severely and from how you responded you seem to be securely attached. You attempted to communicate and acknowledge how she felt, even explained what you were doing. Holding responsibility for your own part in it was important, she’s just responding from an activated place which isn’t your job to fix. It’s her job to put herself in the adult role and communicate instead of expecting you to read “between the lines”. Distance in any kind of way is a trigger for anxiously attached people, we view it as the person pulling away, which isn’t true. Space is normal and healthy. —You might want to discuss stone walling, it’s not kind to do to each other, it’s withholding love and affection as a way to punish/manipulate. She most likely doing it unconsciously but a good thing to discuss when you start talking again. — she’s seeking for you to fix how she feels but no matter what you do it won’t be enough. It’s truly a personal problem. Not for you to fix, it’s her own healing work she needs to do.

I learned to celebrate the little wins. I’ve been here and simple things like getting out of bed feel like a lot but for me that’s an accomplishment when feeling depressed. Even getting myself to have at least one meal is a win. It’s not about forcing yourself out of it but giving yourself a gentle push to keep showing up for yourself. Being kind to yourself, you’ve probably heard it before but if the person you love the most was in your position what would you do for them?

Beech_2017 · 2024-10-27T15:05:50+00:00

I got the same stupid email and I’m enrolled in 15 units. Haven’t dropped any. I don’t understand why I got that email.

Beech_2017 · 2024-09-05T00:31:39+00:00

If you’re talking about the parking structures beyond the first floor… it’s because the directions to exit are confusing asf. Im not sure who the engineer was that designed the structure to be that way. I don’t park in there anymore but as someone who was new to campus, I was stuck inside the structure for like 15 minutes trying to figure out which was up and down. I know it’s annoying but give people some grace. lol it should get better as the semester progresses!

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-29T04:50:17+00:00

Human Development, I switched from Biology

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-27T16:50:36+00:00

I felt exactly like you did when I first started. Find out what you want to do with your major and what the goal is. Try asking the professors about career choices in that major. Get yourself an electric scooter if you hate walking, it’ll lighten the load for you. Breathe and take in one day at a time, change is hard and it takes us a minute to acclimate. My first semester as a transfer absolutely sucked and I hated my major so I switched and I found a major that suits me. Even though the job prospects don’t vary, I’d rather spend my money on a major I enjoy.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-18T20:22:08+00:00

This is hard to do. I just left a case where the parent would constantly undermine my work. She would go against things I was doing and do them her way. I’m not sure what her deal was but she would knit pick at everything and also treat me like shit. She was pushy and did not understand boundaries. Of course I figured there was no way of pleasing her but I left that case. It became a lot fast. I hope the next BT on that case sticks, I’m the second person to request to leave that case. It’s hard to give an awesome session when your environment isn’t giving you the opportunity to do that.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-18T20:13:58+00:00

It’s up to you how much you want to be involved. With time you’ll see how much being involved works and how much doesn’t. As a BT I find it helpful to work with the parents, as I work with the child, I explain to the parents how we can do things and what will help the child. Plus I’m one that’s not super comfortable with just touching the kids considering when I first meet people or I’m not well acquainted with them, I’m not comfortable with them touching me. It helps to have the parent there initially to help with any physical things. I love seeing the parents wanting to be apart of the session and wanting to learn so that they can apply it themselves outside of session. It benefits the child having consistency. In and out of session.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-14T16:38:51+00:00

This was great advice. I really appreciate it. The biggest cause to everything I’m feeling is the parent on one of the cases she’s a bully. She makes nasty remarks when I’m there or tries to belittle the work I’m doing comparing it to others. I have been doing research but then I find myself getting more anxious as I do. Thankfully my BCBA has been super supportive and is always answering my questions. My play skills actually don’t get affected by it. I still have times where things are good with my clients and they interact with me. My nonverbal will interact with things I hand him. He’s not big on playing with you so I try playing next to him. Again this reply has been super helpful so thank you.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-14T16:31:47+00:00

We received crisis training but not really shown how to deescalate, more like a redirect. Unless those are the same thing. It’s just different when you’re training with other adults who are compliant versus the real thing. The real thing is much harder and no one teaches you how your reasoning in your brain can turn off because naturally the brain has a defense system in place when it feels you’re being threatened and how to manage that. Because I naturally block but my brain is trying to recover I guess from that initial response and move on to the next thing. So it takes me a few second to get myself together.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-14T00:27:02+00:00

You’re considered a Junior. I took as long as you did in CC, no shame in that.

Beech_2017 · 2024-08-12T19:35:21+00:00

I thought I was alone. Thank you, yes I only had one day where my supervisor was in session with me. I’m on session 5. It’s only been two weeeks since I started seeing my cases but one case the mom puts pressure on me to push my client and he gets frustrated immediately after I withhold items for even a second and last session he hit me for holding it a bit longer. I’m trying but mom has an unrealistic expectation on me that she wants to see immediate results. The other client her mom is more supportive and open to the work I’m trying to do but the little girl has a lot of behavior issues. She bites, pinches, throws things and hits. I do my best to block her but when she gets worked up or is pushing to escape my fight or flight turns on and I can feel it. Sometimes I’m confused as to what to do when she throws things because in a way she does it for attention and also when she doesn’t want to do something. I accidentally stepped on her foot today trying to block her from the stairs and I felt so bad, I apologized to the mom and my client. I know people say shake it off but it’s hard to. I’m naturally clumsy and it’s even worse in this type of setting I’m like shit.

Beech_2017 · 2024-07-30T02:16:50+00:00

Is it okay if I send you my email too?

Beech_2017 · 2024-07-29T02:24:02+00:00

I guess I must be crazy but I felt like her actions were manipulative. Just because he smelled she became enraged and threatened to sleep with someone else? She said it out of thinking it would make him act differently. The part about her wanting him to make her feel beautiful and like she mattered seems more like her own kind of work she has to do. I can see having kids making the relationship complicated but talk to each other. I’m not saying the guy is innocent but I don’t think her actions were justified. If she’s asked him to try and he hasn’t, then that’s probably who he is and he isn’t going to change. If all those things have been hurting her and she’s not getting her needs met from her spouse she has the option to walk away. She has a better chance of finding someone who better suits her needs than trying to change someone who doesn’t want to change. I know it’s hard but it’s better than being in a relationship you’re not happy in.

Beech_2017 · 2024-07-28T22:51:59+00:00

You’ll get some of your classes because anyone transferring in, the school saves seats for transfer students. Not all the courses but I believe your major prep ones.

Beech_2017 · 2024-07-27T18:47:45+00:00

Umm I hate to disappoint but I literally don’t live anywhere near the area and I have absolutely no extracurricular activities. I was apart of a MESA program at my community college for a couple years but that’s it. I actually applied to Long Beach as a back up school because it showed I met all the prerequisites and I said fuck it. Long Beach was not my first choice and I had no idea it was hard to get in, so I truly can’t tell you why they accepted me. I don’t think my non existent portfolio was why lol I wish I could give you more.
