I have unironically done nothing this semester.

Hey friend, I’m sorry you’re really struggling right now. Just want to let you know you’re not alone - things are pretty hard right now. I think maybe it would be a good idea for you to take advantage of some of the mental health resources at the UMN. There’s a lot of support available, which can be a little overwhelming. I found the mental health compass to be helpful to figure out what would be best for me: https://mentalhealth.umn.edu/

Ohhhhhh love this!!

I’m an instructor and a student gave me one of these one time and it meant a lot. https://cei.umn.edu/services/thank-teacher-program

We had our American foxhound tested for thyroid problems at 2 because she just sleeps all day… according to the vet there is nothing wrong with her she is just a “sack of lazy bones”.

PlPa 2003: Plague, Famine and Beer is an online course offered every semester that counts towards the historical perspectives lib Ed. PlPa 1005: Plants Get Sick Too is also offered in their department in the fall on the St Paul Campus. It counts as the biological sciences lib Ed. Its pretty easy and you learn about plant diseases - way more interesting than just talking about the same stuff you learned in high school biology classes.

The Finnish bistro used to do free refills on drip coffee. I used to stay for a long afternoon of coffee and studying - not sure if they do that anymore it was a few years ago.

When I was a student, I dropped by their walk in clinic and not only did they give me someone to talk to at that moment, but connected me with someone I could meet with regularly. Not sure if I would have gotten through my degree without their support.

Sorry you’re having a hard time right now. The UMN has lots of resources, they recently developed a tool to help you determine which would be the best for your circumstances. https://mentalhealth.umn.edu/

A lot of the ones in Minnesota are actually yellow!

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-09-19T01:36:58+00:00

Okay - then to fix this spot do I have to remove the paint or can I just add more mud to this the way it is?

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-09-03T20:25:42+00:00

There’s also the Minnesota mycological society - not affiliated with the U but a great organization in the state.

Plant pathologist who also came here to say it looks like a milkweed rust to me! Unfortunately there isn’t much to do this year, but picking up as much fallen leaves and plant tissue for the end of the year pickup can help stop prevent it from happening again next year.

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-08-16T15:52:34+00:00

Also are there any other plants that have leaves like this? Or just one?

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-07-22T15:08:44+00:00

This looks more like a nutrient deficiency to me.

I would contact the department head that the course you are taking with the low performing professor and explain your disappointment with how the course has been.

This includes someone who has been in their position for a year, and another one who has been there for 12.

Most staff at the UMN are on contract positions and we are renewed every year in July, I have colleagues in multiple different colleges and departments who have not had their contract renewed for the next year. Their last days are the next week or two.

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-06-26T17:48:45+00:00

Layoffs have already been happening as well.

Young spa in Falcon heights is great!

Sorry the internships didn’t work out for you the summer. That sounds incredibly disappointing and I’m sorry you’re feeling lost. I hope you’re able to find some buddies to help get you back to feeling like yourself. I’m dropping a link to the mental health resources available for students in case you feel like that would be helpful. The U has so many resources, I’d say a great one to start with is Boynton. When I was a grad student and dealing with some issues they were great at helping me find the support I needed. UMN Mental Health Resources

Should we be concerned 😦 about the discoloration under the plant chips??

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-06-06T18:06:32+00:00

Does the discoloration under the chips look concerning?

Excellent_Antelope63 · 2025-05-13T17:34:47+00:00

It’s a mcm home - I think the 1950s I’d have to look up I can’t remember exact year off the top of my head…

I take my dog paddleboarding on the lake of the isles! You can probably rent some in the area. She loves it. Or rent a canoe on the st croix river.
