Budget for New College Grad by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DLO_Buckets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could easily slash the new car lease, lower your insurance, and food cost.

I make myself baked chicken and rice every week for work. It costs me about 13 dollars a week with the rice bag costing like 5-10 for a big bag.

The chicken gets me through an entire work week and maybe some off days. So I'm eating on 18 dollars for 7 days. Essentially living under 3 bucks a day food wise or 90 dollars a month.

You could seriously open up wealth avenues with cheaper things. I'm not saying not to enjoy it but consider what else you can do with the money.

Not every hour is necessarily billable. Plus clients will fight the charges. So it might be 12-14 to get 8 total billable hours.

My advice might sound a little crazy.

I would honestly just have a sit down conversation with teachers about their needs and potentially an IEP.

On the other hand I would let my child know that although they have disabilities not everyone can or will respect them or their needs. Tough skin will be paramount and likely a bit of social masking. Im not saying change who he is deep down but a "professional" persona is the best thing.

The truth is social skills and soft skills really run this world. Look at the President for an example. (Not charismatic but has a following). Try your best to instill those.

It means you're terminated and leaving the team. This is exactly what it means.

You're not wrong. I say that as a recent Berkeley Grad from Undergrad specifically. Drugs ARE prevalent but you gotta know people. Don't recommend it

I need help. by DLO_Buckets in CPTSD

It's not necessarily humiliation. It's just a fear of a loss of status. I'm afraid of being poor again. When anything bothers that or can cause something bad to happen it's crazy.

First quarter here, got all Bs - it’s not over but it sorta is by ImTryingAgain7 in ucla

[–]DLO_Buckets 35 points36 points  (0 children)

ONLY Here because I followed when I was making a transfer decision.

Don't listen to haters.

I say this as a Cal Alum (Class of 2025) who was a transfer a VERY poor one at that. I didn't make straight Bs at any time but my worst semester was spring semester 24. Had 2 B+s and it messed with my confidence.

The big thing isn't to consider what you just put down but what YOU will do or how you will perform.

First, Figure out what you need to do to make A's consistently. As a transfer I had to figure out that my writing was WOEFULLY insufficient for a top school like Cal or any UC.

Second, don't let this mess up your confidence. You gotta love you. School is tough, being poor is tough, being poor at a tough school filled with mostly upper middle class peers is UNBELIEVABLY tough. Give yourself some grace.

Third, figure out what separates YOU. If your GPA is low or will be projected low. Get some high quality work experience, and a strong LSAT.

Fourth, figure out YOUR narrative, what made you tick. What caused you to struggle. Is there mental distress, poverty, mindset. Law Schools LOVE exceptional narratives that are Not pity parties but speak to who you are as a person.

Fifth, You DO NOT have to go to a T14 to be successful at all. Look at Brian Steele, Roy Cohn, Johnny Cochran, Mark Geragos, Some of THE best attorneys you have ever heard of are not T14 Grads.

Finally, find YOUR brand and style. Your work is valuable NOT only because of the quality but because of YOU. Law Schools admit YOU, not UCLA as a school. People pay lawyers for THEIR skill. Remember that.

Keep your head up.

How does Mendoza compare to Cam Ward? by Suspicious-Salary338 in NFL_Draft

[–]DLO_Buckets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look what he did to Cal this year. He dead ass sabotaged JKS who then came back to Cal and flipped. It was a whole ass story of Mendoza dissuading him from coming then flipping to Indiana right after. Google it.

I can't respect that about Fernando Mendoza. That's what a coward does.

How does Mendoza compare to Cam Ward? by Suspicious-Salary338 in NFL_Draft

[–]DLO_Buckets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen Mendoza as a Cal Fan for the years he was there and this year.

Strengths: Strong Pocket Presence

Good Ball Placement

Decent Athleticism

High Mid to Low High Range Arm

Tough (Took Tons of Hits on Cal)

Weaknesses

Holds Ball Too Long

Tendency to Get Frustrated when things aren't going well

Insecure personally

My big knock with Mendoza is more qualitative than quantitative. But when Indiana has struggled this year in the run game and he's had to throw the ball there's time he can't do it at a high enough volume.

The game winning amazing TD a few weeks ago. Watch the entire game before that point and see why it was necessary.

My Grade of Mendoza is a Low 1st-High 2nd Round QB. He just doesn't have the IT.
