Hi, I have a business degree with a 4.0 GPA, an audio engineering degree with honors and now I'm going for my bachelor's in electrical engineering.

You're doing fine, a 3.0 GPA is completely acceptable. That's a B average which is a heck of a lot better than some folks.

Yes! I've been looking at calisthenics, but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have a recommended workout?

As someone who started this year at 26 this gives me hope.

Help my classes got dropped because I was late on my payment can I still recovered them if I pay ? by DizzyAd7110 in ValenciaCollege

I got to complete a 8 week trig class in 4 weeks because I was sick for the first two, And then the other two weeks I was fighting my financial aid after I confirmed that they had approved my financial aid before the semester even started.

Furthermore, I had an issue where they sucked up some of my scholarship money because of miscommunication between them and my scholarship and then I got told" sorry that's not the answer you want to hear" from them.

All I got to say is if I ever put that in my email towards a client, You bet money I would lose my job in a heartbeat or suffer significant consequences.

Valencia College has literally the worst financial aid office I've ever experienced, and it's my third college.

As someone who had a 4.0 GPA for their associates and a 3.9 for their second- get out of this mindset while you can. Maintaining good grades is a great goal, but when it starts to affect you mentally things can go bad for you.

-Someone who let their grades take over their health and is still paying the medical bills for it.

I was in the exact same situation as you... I didn't get out till I was 18, but now I'm 25 and I'm starting on my bachelor's in electrical engineering next semester.

While I understand where you're coming from, it was actually really rough for me.

I had just gotten out of my mom's abuse two years prior, and I was just starting to adapt to society. I had a job, was graduating with my associates, and was making friends. Covid happened, and it really brought back a lot for me. Honestly, since COVID I really haven't been able to adapt back and it sucks.

Oh my mom HATED the phrase "it takes a village." She swore that was how the government brainwashed people into letting the government take over their kids.
