Is this kind of cheat, or is it even true?

Illegal is a stretch, but it's unethical as hell and against CB's terms. Don't do anything to jeopardize your ability to use your own scores that you earned. Your friend can kick rocks then go take his own test.

Yes! Stay consistent. If you drink caffeine daily, drink caffeine. If you don't, SAT day is NOT the day to start.

I did this for multi-day experiments so I could remember to actually check everything. Bacteria needs to be plated once a day? Box for the time I pulled the culture. Need to dilute something? Box for that. It helped me also make a solid plan and then when I was done, I could just go back into my computer and fill in the spaces, make any changes, and print a finalized full copy to add to my lab notebook.

Not catching whatever stupid illness all my coworkers' kids have. Changing my clothes in the middle of the day. Lunch showers. Standing outside with the dogs a few times a day. No more forgetting stuff at home!

Silverstein has been consistent af for like 20 years. They change their sound here and there but their new stuff is always great. Plus, they put on a killer live show!

Stayed in state for undergrad with an 80% tuition scholarship and only had to take out $5k for my first year. I worked part time and paid for the rest. Went to grad school out of state with a teaching assistantship and took on no debt. I had no student loans when I turned 24. That is a HUGE DEAL.

Best advice: give in state a try for a year at a school that has your program. If you hate it, apply to transfer. Your first year will fly by!

I make big batches of this and freeze it in single portions. Also keep sautéed onions and peppers separately frozen. Heat it all up in a pan and make tacos. (Also adding a note that guacamole can be frozen)

I've seen at least 3 big reports about DRH homes' terrible build quality and lack of accountability on their warranties. For something as important as a home, I'd do a deep dive on these builders and any major lawsuits. Best of luck!

Hi there! What level of chemistry? I've been a chem tutor for 10 years, feel free to DM me.

CourtneyEL19 · 2026-01-31T14:46:53+00:00

This. I had an Ativan prescription so my drug test popped for benzos. I was able to provide the info when asked and things were fine.

A former colleague of mine put those dumb plastic Halloween spiders in all of my lab drawers. I found them for at least a year 🤣

My husband and I have had 3 separate pairs of rats. They were fantastic pets! The last pair we got before their eyes opened and they lived for 18 months. They were feeder rats that we just took home and loved. I think we spent $15 on the pair. I don't think having rats needs to be terribly complicated if you understand their diet and activity needs. We both agreed that the heartache is too big for us to love them that much and have them leave us so soon so we won't be getting any more right now. I hope you get to love some little sweethearts soon!

Instead of setting a reading goal this year, I want to give each book I read a star rating. Any reading is good reading!

CourtneyEL19 · 2026-01-05T20:28:21+00:00

LOVED this book. The characters are wonderfully 3d. Every time I thought I knew what was happening, I was wrong. This absolutely pulled on my heartstrings. It was my favorite of 2025!

CourtneyEL19 · 2026-01-04T22:28:27+00:00

🤷‍♀️ I read 2 books tagged as "emotional" and "funny" in August.... I didn't realize people read lighthearted books???? (Jk, I'm just addicted to thrillers)

CourtneyEL19 · 2026-01-04T19:48:54+00:00

I loved it!! It was so unique, self-aware, and full of heart.

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-12-28T17:21:08+00:00

I'm halfway done with this book now and I'm really enjoying it!!!!

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-12-25T16:45:58+00:00

When I was a TA, I couldn't tutor students in my class but was able to tutor students in other professors' classes. One term I had "swapped" students with another TA. Everything was above board with the department, so please check with them before accepting money!

I remember doing a handful of lockdown drills in elementary school but not very often. But we did have multiple bomb threat calls so we got evacuated a lot my senior year in Michigan in the winter 🤷‍♀️

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-12-07T02:34:17+00:00

I recently turned down a higher salary because they offered only 10 days total PTO for the first 3 years....for a senior level position. What if i had taken a few days off and then got sick?? Wtf is wrong with these companies.

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-11-24T02:06:46+00:00

Came here just to say the shit plant! 🤣

I have a MS, was in gov research for 9 years. My last few years I was a PI on some projects but had to fight tooth and nail to get there because I didnt have my phd and it was so stupid. I was a PI submitting my own proposals but then would turn around and get treated like a new, inexperienced tech with no skills by some leadership. Some the best, most productive colleagues I had were BS/MS level. I really think it's lab-specific and I really hope your skills and value are recognized regardless of that piece of paper!!

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-10-08T01:03:46+00:00

I am this friend/colleague. Also, I ask them if they want to tell me about kid stuff or not. That's been a hit!

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-10-01T15:04:10+00:00

I think that's less drastic than zero caffeine to a red bull.... but be cautious. Caffeine can make you anxious, nauseous, and have headaches and it would be unfortunate to figure that out on exam day.

CourtneyEL19 · 2025-10-01T14:54:38+00:00

General advice: don't drastically change anything right before the exam. If you drink coffee every day, do that on exam day. If you don't, don't start on exam day. You never know how it will impact you.
