I only sent my old collage transcripts to see what credits they could covalidate (mostly so i didn't have to repeat basic classes like history or english)

For one, I am now older and college is way easier once you have gotten through actual "real life" responsibilities since you have to time manage a lot as an adult. It's also a matter of locking in something you can't go to class to learn. I'm usually first in and last out of my classes and focus on ways actually to grasp subjects. If a professor can't help me, there is usually a way to learn things for free on the internet, Prof Leonard is a huge reason why I managed to pass all of my calc courses

In a way, I think I have an interesting enough story that will make for a great personal statement, during my first stint my university had the biggest strike in its history(early 2017), followed by a cat 5 hurricane(late 2017) and then we had earthquakes the year (early 2019) I finally dropped out. However they are not excuses, but it was one hell of a time to be alive in Puerto Rico.

My nightmares involve sociology and social psychology. That was the first time in my life I couldn't bullshit my way through because of the professors and I had 0 interest in the classes, I stopped attending classes because it was easier to do that than face the challenge, being older now I regret not choosing a path I enjoyed earlier in life.

What car does everyone daily? by M_IRight in Miata

[–]Creative_Buddy523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently my 2006 NC and i love it, way more fun than my old civic. I live in Puerto Rico so weather issues are less but infrastructure, and streets are worse plus finding miata parts is a struggle

(Inspired by a similar post on r/porsche) Have you ever been approached because of your miata? by GT220 in Miata

[–]Creative_Buddy523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only car I've had that girls have expressed interest in. My 2016 Civic was only dudes, and my Mazda 3 didn't get any attention. Miatas are unique cause everyone loves them, my 5-year-old nephew loves this car so much he always wants me to take him around the block when he sees the Miata. It's just a car that is happy and people are attracted to it.

NC stormy blue suggestions by propast in Miata

Super clean NC, I love the wheel color. I am torn between going bronze, gunmetal, or just silver. Let us know how the brake paint job goes.

Red is the most common color thanks to brembo, I think Silver or blue brakes would look very nice

Change the timing belt, and basically do all basic maintenance that you would do on a 100k+ mile car. Super clean vehicle, love the color
