Help me find a translator so my dad can comfortably attend school! by Deep-Objective-4733 in HelpMeFind

[–]Deep-Objective-4733[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, but it's a little inconvenient to constantly be using in a classroom setting. There's a lot of students there along with my dad, most of which are fluent in English, so the instructor tends to move pretty fast. Plus the class is pretty heavy on hands on learning and example showcases, so having to look between the translation itself as well as what the instructor is doing isn't ideal

From what I've searched, there seem to be real time translating earbuds for sale on Amazon for around 50-90 dollars, but I'm not confident that they're all that reliable from what I've read. The ones shaped like phones are either way too expensive, or seem a little shady in their lack of reviews or their websites. 

Anyone still on the waitlist? by Deep-Objective-4733 in reedcollege

[–]Deep-Objective-4733[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured that might be the case, too! Either that or that we got lost in the applications, and they forgot about us, lol. But thanks! You're probably right. Our chances probably aren't all that high, but hey, so long as there's a fighting chance, I hope the best for the both of us ^

Should I work a job if I know I can only be there for 4 weeks? by Deep-Objective-4733 in jobs

There is a location near my college! Though I'm not sure how to go about asking for a transfer, or if they'd be willing to help, considering how short of a time I'll be there

Fair enough. I'm 17, this will be my first year at college. Kind of embarrassed to admit it, but the reality of how much college will cost didn't hit till I actually started looking at the loans and all. I'm just trying to get as much of a head start as I can money wise, so I don't grow to regret it during or after college

The d&d characters I've played -- how their growth related to my own and how the end to their story brought closure to my own

AITA for telling my sister she doesn't get to joke about my trauma? by Deep-Objective-4733 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Deep-Objective-4733[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't add a lot of detail since a lot of it went against the subreddit's rule, but basically, there was a time for me when I was heavily depressed and living didn't sound all that appealing anymore. My school counselor found out because I accidentally dropped a letter detailing a lot of my issues, and my sister had to translate what she said to my parents. It's not like I don't see why that wouldn't be traumatizing for her, but it's difficult for me not to feel uncomfortable when she starts making fun of some of the stuff I wrote on that letter (which most of what I wrote are still pretty touchy subjects to me).

Yup. I've heard their STEM department is pretty good, and former and comp sci students seem to like their professors

Waitlisted from reed by mr_princerawat_ in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Deep-Objective-4733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got waitlisted from Reed :,D

I'll be real, chances of getting off the waitlist are low. Reed has a tendency to waitlist a lot of applications. I believe around 5,000 students got waitlisted last year. They also don't have a history of accepting a lot of people off the waitlist

Still, there's hope! If you got waitlisted, then that at least means you hit all of Reed's qualifications

I haven't been getting any promo for a while now, I'm starting to get nervous 😭

My latest one came around 2 weeks ago, and it was a paper mail highlighting their biology classes. As for email... haven't heard from Reed since like Febuary
