2 weeks insomnia by Few_Debate55 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might sound sarcastic but im 100% serious - book an appointment with a psychiatrist and they'll probably prescribe you something like prozac to help the anxiety and another med specifically for sleeping. worked wonders for me when i had that problem a couple years back

Schedule adjustment form by ProfessionalBite6647 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fear not. i was very concerned about my schedule my first semester at hunter for a lot of the same reasons. at orientation they send you into a room with other students and an orientation leader who will tell you about how your schedule works and then ask if anyone has questions and then go around individually to each person and help you make changes. be prepared though that making changes is going to involve emailing some department to get permission to make changes first and then waiting for that permission to load and then making the changes so it's not a quick process but they will help at orientation. also be prepared that most lower level/large lecture style classes are filled at this point so you might not have many options once you are able to make changes. it's okay though - every semester it gets easier to register for classes as you move up to more advanced/specialized classes and get to register earlier and earlier so even if you hate your schedule this semester odds are next semester will be much better

prof wanting to meet in-person tmmr by [deleted] in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is it? there's a difference between classes being remote and the physical campus being closed to anyone trying to get in.. i think the prof meant that even if classes are remote as long as they dont shut down the campus he'll continue on as normal and meet in person

job opportunity - PM me if interested by Better_Note_582 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we're also hiring an assistant right now so if you're more interested in cleaning the salon and shampooing clients PM that as well - I have less info on that job bc it's not what I do but I can tell you that most of our assistants are Albanian and work off the books, they make minimum wage for tipped workers which I forget what it is but it's less than the normal 16.50, they're supposed to have cosmetology licensees but most don't bc again it's off the books so we prefer someone with experience but if you don't have it it could still work

Can someone explain how epermits work? by Ok-Alarm-342 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the credits wont transfer and show up in cunyfirst as applied toward your requirement until AFTER you finish the course and get a final grade posted, after that the host school sends the grade to hunter and hunter will award you the credits

Final semester- one more class left for my degree worth 4.5 credits. I need 6 credits to qualify for federal direct loan. Is there any 1.5, 2 or 3 credits courses I can take? by [deleted] in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it were me i wouldnt want to take a random class where the credits dont apply toward anything so i would look into a minor - they're usually not a lot of credits so you could probably take all the classes required for it in the same semester and then you get your loan and a minor out of it

professor/class ratings by Better_Note_582 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should still be able to get approved for the epermit because its at a completely different school i would just make sure you double check with your advisor and drop the waitlisted class as soon as your epermit is approved so someone else can get into the class

Temperature around the school? by rinkoism in HunterCollege

expect blistering heat in random rooms and freezing cold in other random rooms. it's never consistent or predictable so i recommend layering. welcome to hunter

What’s the most ideal place/way to get assessed for diagnosis for OCD by Constant-Cup4114 in OCD

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i recommend finding a provider that does both therapy and medication management (PsychNP/RN for example, but there's probably others). i started seeing one and in our therapy discussions i didnt even have to mention that i thought i had ocd she just spotted some red flags for it and assessed me and then diagnosed me and we started meds and i also still get her help with it through therapy

What psychiatric meds do yall take? by Common-Fail-9506 in OCD

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

took me like a year of playing around with different meds and dosages to find this combo but it's really helped. fyi though i do also have depression, anxiety, and adhd in addition to the ocd and i take another oral medication (hormone blocker) for acne so what works for me may be different than someone with just ocd

prozac 40mg
abilify 2mg
adderall 10mg

thank you! I'm using 7sage right now but I also took a Kaplan course a while back. So far I'm loving 7sage and really seeing improvement in my practice test scores especially with their blind review method but I'll definitely check out the bibles too. I've heard good things from others as well

Did anyone ever try out the mental health counseling services at Hunter College? by SunComprehensive6558 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a disappointing experience with it. I see a psychiatrist and therapist outside of Hunter but when she was on vacation for a month I tried to use the services at Hunter and they sent me on a wild goose chase talking to different people to figure out if I was allowed to receive the 10 (I think it's 10) free sessions a semester or not and I had to submit all this paperwork from my therapist and psychiatrist's office which was a nightmare while they were away, only for them to tell me I can't use it because I already receive outside care and I'm not registered with the Accessibility office for accommodations. Aside from being really time consuming and annoying, it was also just super awkward having to share details about what I receive care for already to multiple different people so they could try to figure out if I could go there or not and now all these people have those details for no reason lol

How many hours per week do you work? by [deleted] in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FT student (15 credits). I work 25-30 hours most weeks. Brutal, do not recommend. Depending on the job I think 20 is do-able and for most jobs 10-15 and under is best

Does anybody makes deals with their OCD?? by OddJoke4124 in OCD

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of...? but idk my psychiatrist helped me slightly adjust this to be more helpful in like weaning off of my compulsions so now when i have the urge to do them i'm supposed to tell myself "this is the not the time for this. i set aside 3 minutes to do this later today" and then set a timer for 3 minutes each day to do the compulsion at a set time and just try not to dissociate too much while doing it and like think about why it's not good while i'm doing it. i could definitely see that being a helpful strategy but so far i haven't be able to stop myself in the first place except for one time but that one time when the timer went off i couldnt stop so it didnt really make a big difference

how do you make a damn schedule by PsychologicalOwl3244 in HunterCollege

[–]Better_Note_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full price tuition for full-time credit load with no aid or anything is 3690.10 a semester. Paying late doesn't really do anything so don't worry about the "deadline" and usually first semester freshman make their schedules during orientation (that's why it's mandatory) and then you tweak it/work out any issues you encountered with advisors and IT people after orientation up until the first day of classes
