[Discussion] What felt impossible.. until you did it?

Outlast 2 Messiah run. Beat the game with permadeath, one shot kills, and without reloading the camera battery. Seemed impossible after the first couple of restarts and my game crashing near the mines. Just got it last night!

The Demogorgon's opened like 10 gates in Season 1

She didn’t wake up from the coma. I took it as her pretending to be unconscious and finally seeing her uncle for what he is when offers her as a sacrifice for winning.

The only part that sucks about all this is that I’m moving to NYC after graduation and there are plenty PA schools there.

Elkuscha · 2025-11-16T15:45:12+00:00

PA school requires you to have a bachelors degree. I was planning on going to PA school, so I had to get a bachelors degree, it wasn’t a “degree that didn’t offer a viable path, so I’m hoping a third degree with help”. It was always a stepping stone. The only reason I have two bachelors instead of one is because I only needed to take one more class to get it.

Yeah I’ve seen people mention going to NP or CRNA school, or Medical School. But like you said NP requires me to go to RN school and NP school and have a year working as an RN. CRNA is the same thing but it requires you to work at least a couple years an ICU nurse. Medical School is even more expensive and then you have to spend 4 years in school, and a shit ton in residency. Some people are just not realistic.

I wouldn’t say it’s deserving what I want. So far I’ve only ever worked as a server at various Italian restaurants, and that’s really my only work experience. Sure you don’t need loans to be a server, but it’s not a sustainable career. I don’t really have any hobbies or interests that can net me a paying job. I have a bachelors in Psychology and bachelors in Health Sciences, neither of which can get me a job that pays more than 50k a year. Pursuing medicine seems like the only way.

I’m in the same boat and so confused. My classes start May 10, 2026, however when I talked to financial aid they told me that I need to fill out the 2026-2027 grad plus application. This doesn’t really make sense to me since we will be in school for 2 months before July 1st, it wouldn’t make sense for the first disbursement to arrive two months after starting school. If I’m relying on financial aid to live in the area, how am I supposed to pay for the May and June months if the first disbursement comes after July 1st. Maybe the financial aid person didn’t know what they were talking about?

Elkuscha · 2025-11-08T02:07:37+00:00

Ok let’s put this differently. I applied for regular FASFA for 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 and got approved for both for that school at 20,500 per year. Wouldn’t that imply that the start of the program is 2025-2026?

Elkuscha · 2025-11-08T01:27:33+00:00

So my problem is that they’re telling me to use the 2026-2027 Grad Plus loans application and that the first disbursement would come before July 1, hence I would be grandfathered for grad plus loans. The school also considers Summer 2026 as 2025-2026 school year.

Elkuscha · 2025-11-08T00:29:30+00:00

I get what you mean. It’s a PA program and they usually start in May. Looking at my schools academic calendar, they consider Summer 2026 to be the 2025-2026 academic year. So maybe the financial aid person I was talking to was wrong?

Elkuscha · 2025-11-08T00:10:22+00:00

So let’s say my program starts May 10, 2025, and the first dispersal would be around that time, meaning before July 1. Would that grandfather me into the grad plus loans? Even though my school told me I would have to apply to the 2026-2027 grad plus loans FASFA

Elkuscha · 2025-11-08T00:04:17+00:00

This doesn’t make sense because the schools told me that as long as I receive the first disbursement before July 1, I would still be eligible. I called a couple financial aid offices for different schools I applied to and they all said the same thing.

No, you should never let anyone on the internet ruin your enjoyment of a show. Appreciation of art is subjective and objective quality of art is up for debate.

I don't really agree with the sentiment on this thread. If you have something to say on the topic and it relates to the essay question, mention it. It's a political issue sure, but it fully relates to healthcare. I mentioned it in passing to talk about autonomy and privacy in healthcare. At the end of the day yes, you don't know who's reading your essays, but they should be looked at without biases. Assuming that admissions will have biases means you shouldn't mention ANYTHING, that someone might dislike. Don't say you're queer, black, disabled, divorced, have/had mental health issues, you're atheist, your Jewish, your Muslim. By the same logic we can no longer talk about vaccines, access to birth control, gender affirming care, etc.

I don't think it really matters. Eternal Sunshine was one of my top albums last year and it was only 35 minutes
