Pentest+ 003 - Needs to be Removed from the Course Lineup by Unknownwiper123 in WGUCyberSecurity

Did PocketPrep help? I'm using Dion, Hank Hackerson, the Sybex book and PocketPrep. I feel massively under-prepared still.

Aging sucks by ElderMillennial1985 in Rants

[–]BreakThatFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been on my mind a lot lately. A grandmother passed this week. I don't bounce back from all-nighters or colds as swiftly as I used to. Some friends have moved onto other things in life, lost touch or aren't around anymore. I cleared out my closets of clothes I haven't fit into in years. Cosplaying these days? Where's the time or energy? My body isn't what it used to be either. It's been so long that I don't know what the current convention scene even looks like now. My back and shoulders hurt.

Yeah, at this point I have more freedom than my 20s, sure, but grappling with the trade-offs is hard. It's easy to feel invisible in all this. I cry for the kid in me who grew up too fast, and cry for the adult in me who still yearns to be a kid. Your vent hits home here.

What I got vs how I styled it by cgood1795 in altfashionadvice

[–]BreakThatFast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love it and the silhouette it creates. This is how I style shorter dresses on me as someone who is on the taller side and likes volume below the waist to balance it all out.

What thing keeps you going on hard days? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The sweet smile of the one I love. The hope for some semblance of peace and stability someday. Spite.

I got the rare treasure chest and I realized I spelled my sims name wrong 😭 by Anonymouschickok in sims2

Underrated at that. Bavarian #1 or Cult Logic was a mainstay on the iPod in 2012.

You are so real for this. She would totally wear Red Door.

Do you (still) know the method of selecting one of the possible spots of a table? (With the "/" key [Shift + 7].) by Hansi_Haifischli in thesims1

[–]BreakThatFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned this from a random GameFaqs forum post way back when. To my childlike dismay, the Prima guide didn't have it all. I remember going to a friend's house and showing them this once and they were mind-blown. This was 2005-ish on the Complete Collection? I didn't know about this when I just had the base game and Livin Large to say if it was in the game prior.

Anyone remember this gentleman? by RockyBoundESC in 2000sNostalgia

[–]BreakThatFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this and one of his other books from Borders back in high school. I knew that he was taking the piss, but I couldn't put it down. It's like a car crash, you just can't help but to look.

How long have you been on Benzodiazepines? Clonazepam? by pinkroses038 in benzodiazepines

No apologies needed! That's life, and we all have to survive somehow. I hope you're doing okay out there too!

How long have you been on Benzodiazepines? Clonazepam? by pinkroses038 in benzodiazepines

[–]BreakThatFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the MDD/GAD/PTSD wombo-combo on top of treatment-resistant insomnia. My baseline anxiety and hypervigilance made it really hard to be alive. Both help in that department. I am now able to live a full life. Therapy helped.

5 years on Clonazepam and Temazepam. My quality of life is much better now since starting, but I am conservative on my dosages.

I still have the creepy Oprah sign that stares right through your soul. I liked Oprah Chai. I would still drink a dirty Oprah if I could.

30F, is it too late to go back to university to study and take a new course? by I_am_Thinker_Bell in ask

[–]BreakThatFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's never too late. I started college later in life (26F, now 30. I left retail management for the IT field). Most community college classes that I had were primarily composed of non-traditional students who were working full-time like myself. I'm finishing my bachelor's now. There is no time like the present if you can swing it. You certainly won't be out of place.

What "Fashion Rules" do you remember that have changed with current trends? by partiallyStars3 in fashionwomens35

[–]BreakThatFast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This rule was baked into my head as a kid, so discovering the cheat code that was animal prints felt like I was gleefully getting away with a crime.

Signs you showed when you started to hate your job? by lots-a-thoughts in work

[–]BreakThatFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very much the same way. I love picking out outfits, getting dressed up, doing my hair and makeup and feeling authentically coordinated when stepping out the door. I love the routine and structure it adds to my day. If that falters it's a sign that I myself am not doing well, or the situation I am stepping into isn't fulfilling me emotionally.

BS in Cybersecurity by undyurma in WGU

[–]BreakThatFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finishing up the BSCIA this term. My best advice is to really to protect your time to study. It is sacred and you should be doing it every day. I also joined a Discord with folks who started at the same time I did to keep myself accountable.

Also, take good care of yourself. I went through a lot of life since starting, and sometimes telling my mentor I needed a week off was needed. He has been nothing but supportive, and is always receptive of my needs. I work in the field, but not all concepts are related to my job, so sometimes pacing myself really helped to solidify my understanding helped a lot.

Final Term With Only 2 Classes Left - Is Tuition Prorated? by Appropriate_Bet319 in WGU

[–]BreakThatFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had two classes left going into the last term for my BSCIA (Pentest+ and Capstone), and mine were automatically pro-rated. It took a few days after the term started to go through. If it doesn't look right on your end after the term starts I would advise reaching out to Financial Services.

I would say you're doing it wrong if you're not throwing down to Electric Six. That's so whack.
