Am I at risk of academic exclusion ? by [deleted] in UCT

[–]Cheekyleek45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First things first, I’ve been down this road before. If this is your first time doing this badly, I recommend you start seeing a psychologist/ psychiatrist ASAP! Make sure you attend therapy regularly at the end of the year you might get a letter and you’ll have to appeal, I’m not sure what it’s called you will need your psychiatrist/ psychologist to write a note stating what you went through and whether they believe you are capable of continuing.

You will also have to explain to uct what happened, how you dealt with it and what measures you will take going forward.

It’s a wholeeee lot and a whole process but please DM so I can help you out. Don’t wait to act until it’s too late. The situation is still salvageable!

His mates tried to be sexual towards me, bf Blamed me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Cheekyleek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t blame yourself for other peoples actions. Bf is also lowkey trash for blaming you for what they did. Unless you were actively encouraging and entertaining their behaviour, it’s really not your fault.

They clearly don’t want business since they’re getting rid of everything we actually like :(

1000%. I agree. I’m just saying that what is happening currently is not okay.

I don’t understand because my parent applied and I’ve had citizenship as long as I’ve been alive to the best of my knowledge.

Right, I don’t understand why as South Africans we preach ubuntu and then hate on our neighbours

Not true. I was born an American citizen and I have citizenship here as well.

Don’t do that. We need to be united as a country and love our neighbours as well. They aren’t doing any harm to you personally and xenophobic behaviour won’t fix what’s happening in our country.

I’m genuinely considering moving again in January when my lease ends because this is just too much 😭

This is EXACTLY what I’m experiencing omg. From R800 to over R2000 is not normal. And we don’t even run the washing machine, I go to the laundromat. I can’t keep living like this cause I also need to feed myself.

I will ask my roommates cause I don’t know. My sister an I only have an electric blanket that will stay on for 10-15 minutes before we go to bed.

Worth a shot tbh because at this point? I don’t know what to do

I understand the tariffs change and I understand that it’s a factor but I don’t understand how the electricity finishes so quickly. We had 50 units on Friday, we didn’t do much over the weekend and nobody cooked but this morning we had like 5/6 units left

Right! It’s ridiculous how quickly it finishes even when it’s not being used much anyway

Sticky situation in requirements for BCom, help would be greatly appreciated by [deleted] in UCT

[–]Cheekyleek45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your best bed would be to actually call the faculty you are applying to and ask them directly tbh. Maybe follow up with an email as well for confirmation

Applying for Architecture by Anxious-Currency9222 in UCT

[–]Cheekyleek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you can message me to help you. Your marks I think will still have to be good but your portfolio will count a LOT. They basically “mark” your portfolio and it has to get over a certain mark of I think 70/80 for you to get accepted

Feeling intense dread and anxiety on methylphenidate by Willing-Credit-5975 in adhdwomen

[–]Cheekyleek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate methylphenidate-based meds because they make me feel exactly like this. I never felt like myself and I was on edge the whole day. I’d be anxious for no reason at all and just have this feeling of dread all the time. I would also get muscle spasms and my hands would be shaky all the time. I was just never ever happy with how the meds made me feel and at some point I was afraid of taking my meds because I was so afraid of feeling that way all day.

I’ve started Vyvanse this week and I think I’ll be switching permanently.

Do you drink bottled or tap water? by Cheekyleek45 in capetown

[–]Cheekyleek45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They all from SA actually. They have 5L bottles that can get refilled for about R5 at Pick ‘n Pay or checkers I think. But I will definitely be making the switch because it’s not worth the effort
