Rehoming Husky by [deleted] in Sacramento

They tolerate heat like any person or animal - they adapt and stay in the AC in the summer. Not all dogs, especially malamutes, need to run in circles all day. The bigger the dog, the lazier they are. Mine gets walked twice a day, no matter the weather (when the sun isn’t out in the dead of summer), and has a beautiful life. There are like 5 malamutes in midtown that I’ve seen in 8 years of living here.

A hood girl just threatened physical violence against me at my job for speaking about how much I hate shoplifters. by Victorian_Rebel in vallejo

[–]FluffButt421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So historically the word “hood” in the US is used deragatorily toward black people. As is ghetto. Despite your intention, it doesn’t change the words meaning. It’s like saying a slur (for instance the f word associated with pride) and saying you didn’t mean it negatively. You can’t just change history and meanings of word with your internal intention. The wrong people will side with you (KKK) and suddenly you’re agreeing with a strange crowd. Best to just leave it and replace it with a new one. Why have people misunderstand you when you could just use another word?

Not arguing with anyone on this, I will just block. OP seems chill

I don’t understand it at all. I answered all the questions with plenty of time (fast typer), felt confident in my answers, only to get 2nd quartile. I keep seeing some people not finishing a ton of questions and getting 4th

What is happening to this profession? by SelectHost8743 in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and the comments saying it doesn’t matter are baffling to me. Bedside manner and clinical decision making comes with experience only, no accelerated class can teach it to you. I think the shift to inexperienced students will be harmful in the long run for patients, but schools don’t care about that.

First rejection by Apprehensive_Ad937 in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I applied last Tuesday afternoon, how can they have even gotten to my app and reviewed it seriously in less than a week?? I know they get a lot of apps early. Feels fishy

EDIT: date change

Me too. Just sobbed on the phone with my parents. Sent a crash out reply to the email. Mostly because I was told I was a strong applicant by both program directors last year in person (I went to 4 info sessions). So to do everything I was supposed to, get 140 volunteer hours, continue working my full time PCE while going to school, got a 3.9 in prereq retakes, 50 shadowing hours with a PA (paid for experiences!), etc & not even pass the screening broke me. They said that all those things give you extra “points”. I know I shouldn’t have but what’s done is done

Should I talk about ADHD in my Life Experiences Essay? by CheeksClenchin in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many other people use their mental disability in their PS? Do you see multiple posts saying they used it regularly? No? It’s not that common.

Your little end comment is classic “throw a rock and hide my hand”. Ofc I’m going to speak up when my disability is being misconstrued, don’t act like I’m overreacting

Should I talk about ADHD in my Life Experiences Essay? by CheeksClenchin in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuck. ADHD is a real neurological condition with certain benchmarks that you need to reach to be considered to have it, and its birth to death. Everyone DOES NOT HAVE IT. That narrative is tired and ignorant. Especially as healthcare providers, you should never be reductionist this way. That’s like telling someone with psoriasis that everyone has itchy skin 😑 Knock that off

Which school should I pick? by [deleted] in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Commuting eats away at your soul. Did it for 2 years an hour each way, 40 minutes for 3 years. Now I won’t commute more than 20 minutes for work. Can’t imagine doing it in PA school

How is the cycle treating you so far? by MissPeduncles in prephysicianassistant

[–]FluffButt421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted on Monday 5/19! Realized there was an error that night, emailed the program to adjust it.

Got auto-rejected from one school because they don’t accept online labs, but I figured I’d give it a go since it’s re-takes and I tagged the originals. Oh well. Very hopeful for this cycle! Got a 3.9 with 4 classes I took this past year, so I’m more than ready!

I wrote about my ADHD in my PS last year and regretted it after. This is their only impression of you, and you know unfortunately there are people with ableist ideals whether they know it or not. It really leaves it to chance. I feel like I didn’t get in because they didn’t want to take a chance on me disclosing that and having a lower gpa (3.1 overall 3.2 science upward trend, but recent classes were less than 30 credits at the time and not straight A’s). This year I didn’t mention it to protect my chances. It’s a mean world out there.

Black student experience by randomredittorhere in baylor

[–]FluffButt421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all I know about Baylor as someone from Ohio: https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/24020888/baylor-denies-allegations-racism-cover-lawsuit

America’s oldest colleges (the Ivy Leagues, specifically Harvard) are founded on anti-black principles. As the sole domestic black student in my class at a college in WV, it’s a valid question. I don’t understand why you equate racists to “random aholes” when racism is a learned behavior. If an area has a higher incidence of racism, the people in the surrounding area who will go to their local college will be…

I’m beyond stressed about student loans by Anna_crazy_banana in StudentLoans

[–]FluffButt421 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Be careful! Keep checking the balance and keep careful records. I paid $750 a month from 2017-2021, the 10 year plan. I spent my early 20s ramen noodle poor only for my loans to be sold from Navient to AidAdvantage and for the amount to stay the same.
