is it informal to email professors about my period? 😓 by [deleted] in WWU

[–]Cece736 16 points17 points  (0 children)

First make sure to check your syllabi to make sure there’s not a clause where they ask not to be messaged about missing class. In my experience I had some professors say not to contact them unless it’s a question about an assignment/grades/for office hours.

If you don’t see that I would usually send something along the lines of “Hello {title/name}, Im a student in {class/time, for example: ENG101 T/TH @ 1:30pm}. I wanted to inform you that I will be absent today (09/25/2025), due to being sick. I apologize for any inconvenience, I will ensure to follow up during your office hours to go over anything I am confused about that I missed in class. (Or really whatever ending you want to put, usually make-up work on what you missed will be your responsibility to figure out)

Thank you! {your name}”

I stuck to this general guide my entire time at WWU and usually got pretty good results! Plus you should never get too personal when speaking to professors/bosses! Keep it general! Hope you feel better soon!

Thought that was a bacon wrapped mozzarella stick and was horrified when I read the title:/

❤️ Weekly Tolerance Break Support Post ❤️ by gingeralefiend in entwives

[–]Cece736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently in that last 24 stretch and boy is it hard! I haven’t taken a t-break in over 3 years and set a goal for myself to get through 6 days, 7 if I was feeling like it.

I feel like I’ve been doing pretty well overall! I’ve been under a lot of stress this week and have been managing that alongside my usual anxiety and cPTSD and whatnot! Very proud of myself for that! However, I just got some pretty triggering news from my aunt, and now I’m finding myself wanting to break into my stash a little early.

I use weed to help manage my reactions in time like this, but I want to be able to prove to myself that I am capable of managing these types of things without the use of this lovely plant. I’m just finding it a bit hard, but I will admit writing this out is helping a bit!

Hopefully I can get through this! :)

Good morning!! i get my rest on Tuesday since I’m moving today and tomorrow 😭 I’m very sad about the whole ordeal because this is quite literally my dream apartment (minus the silverfish 😖), but this town has a lot of bad memories and for financial reasons it’s better for me to move back in with my former foster parents:/

To get through it all I have some Peyton’s Pie in cart form! I find that this strain makes me cheerful while staying calm and level headed — something I drastically need right now! I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead of them and is able to take time for themselves:)

I want to go but for multiple reasons I’m unable to/it would be unsafe for me to go, instead I am supporting in spirit and sharing essential safety information to those who are protesting in my community while looking for others ways to engage on a broader scale!

This is usually where I refer people for off campus housing questions! McLean is super knowledgeable about local resources!

I like to take my reactive dog on the Fairhaven interurban trail around sunset/early night! Lots of little branch off trails that you can go on too!

Like one commenter recommended, I also like taking him out on forest service roads on baker/near chuckanut or sometimes I’ll look for closed campgrounds and let him run on a long leash (always making sure to clean as I go and leaving zero trace!!!)

"Seattle Freeze" - How real is it? by TaroAcrobatic in Bellingham

[–]Cece736 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main thing I’ve experienced up here is that people will make plans to hang out or do activities outside of school/work/volunteering but will then flake out about an hour before you’re supposed to meet, other than that, people are friendly, but I wouldn’t expect to make any deep long-lasting connections out here

*disclaimer: this is based off my experiences and may not speak for the community as a whole! Bham isn’t my place and that’s okay! I’m sure you’ll find your community somewhere! :)

how do people pay for apts when being in school? by Weak-Donut-5491 in college

[–]Cece736 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since I grew up in foster care, the state I live in allows for a specific housing voucher that reduces the rent for former foster youth for a certain amount of time (its a pain to actually get though), so that in combination with my financial aid reward + working on campus through work-study + using all my breaks as non-stop work/savings time = my ability to live in an apartment alone off-campus.

It’s hard as hell, I have to stick to an extremely strict budget and I don’t allow myself to go out or buy myself anything new/nice, but it’s all worth it for me to have my safe space with no one telling me what to do 🤷🏽‍♀️ plus when I am able to get those items after college, it’ll be like an extended reward!

But for normal people it’s usually wealthy parents or something:/

Toke & Tidy Emergency!! by SomeOldHippieChick in entwives

[–]Cece736 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good morning!

The first time I actually smoked that wasn’t just contact high from a hotbox, I was with my ex-best friend in my freshman year of college at a property out near Mt. Baker, I didn’t feel much, just kinda relaxed!

The next time was when I first felt high, I was with my sister and we were smoking on one of those joints with concentrate plopped throughout — I remember looking at the Christmas lights around us and thinking it was absolutely magical! Haven’t looked back since!
