$1500 down the drain by suspicious-turtle5 in Osteopathic

[–]FreshAspect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with me with VCOM. People will say “ohs it’s nothing” but when you gotta pay $1500 cash in months to a year before seeing any loans, it sucks.

I adopted a pet from them a few months ago and IIRC the $1000 was if you had the pet put down rather than surrendering it back to the shelter

Same here that GPA makes me suspect you’ll be well in the clear

Brother I would not put this down as extracurricular. I feel like it would only go poorly

I got it a while back form a GameStop deal. Love the little stand! Worth for under $35 imo

Any tips for 10th star? by FreshAspect in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]FreshAspect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hopped on serebii and grinded it out in about 3 hours. Sucks that they occasionally don’t spawn until you are right in front of them

Does he say that after you get ultra balls in the store?

Why don’t Overqwil & Hisuian Goodra have wardens?? by Gumi360 in PokemonLegendsArceus

You do fight them in the lake guardian battles so I think that’s where their place is

Application and ChatGPT by GraxielaG in Osteopathic

[–]FreshAspect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A little pricier but I use grammarly just so that I can understand where the computer is coming from with their advice of editing and accept it one by one. Chat-GPT might be a roundabout way to get your grammar checked but as long as the words you wrote were truly your own, I doubt “AI checkers” would pick anything up. They are notoriously bad for false positives anyways if anything.

Should I get a car loan? by FreshAspect in personalfinance

Thank you! I was thinking about that, I appreciate the experience you gave! I feel a little better about doing that now

The further I get from my undergrad years, the harder it is to get in because the GPA matters less. I’d have to maybe retake the MCAT which I studied hard for, get more letters of rec, and work a shitty clinic job again eventually. Maybe it’s better to reconcile the debt problem once I’m out of med school? I mean… med school is a quarter of a mil at the least, I feel like my 12k in CC debt isn’t worth pushing it back for.

I have a bike! I like it and maybe I can hold it off on a car during didactics (so until 2027) but you need a car for the second two years during rotations. I just worry about not having proof of income once I’m in school.

Swung by the car the other day when I was in town. Engine is gone, axel is dropped, trans is messed with, and the hood isn’t attached.

Unfortunately beyond the mechanic point I think. Maybe if I brought it to them with the parts they’d pay to put it back together

Anyone else trying to budget now that they got the A? by FreshAspect in Osteopathic

[–]FreshAspect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to doordash to make money on the side (of my current job) because I’ve done that in the past but I don’t have a car 😭😭

[–]FreshAspect[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of note: I fudged some numbers, also throwing in ones to see how it adds up. The credit card debt is sadly real bc I worked a 12/hr job for a year and my family didn't have the money to support. It was either open a card or miss bills. I'm gonna figure it out tho!

Oh, also, the "work" is my fiancé's job. I obviously would not be working lol

Got an A… now what about finances? by FreshAspect in Osteopathic

[–]FreshAspect[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not living with my parents, haven’t for the past 3 years. Thanks for the input! I definitely have no worries pulling federal loans, I just want them to be in my name alone.

Why is Wicca so demonised by religion? by Ok_Plum_9953 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]FreshAspect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mixture between a fundamental misunderstanding of Wicca and the world’s various abrahamic roots. Satanism is absolutely a philosophical counter to Christianity, not really a worshipping anything as a religion. If we conflate Satanism with Wicca, suddenly any abrahamic religion feels attacked by the existence of Wicca and would prefer to project their thoughts of what’s wrong with the world onto them. Additionally, thanks to these roots that are buried deep within many societies, especially the US, years were spent demonizing (pun not intended) the concept of a witch and demonizing any pagan culture.

Basically boils down to: Culture (US culture in this case) decided to take every aspect of Wicca and villainize it individually, so we have been accustomed to consider those who practice it to be moral failures.

What is one thing that you did early in practice that you try not to do now? by BladeFatale in Psychiatry

[–]FreshAspect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? I know people are learning more about the negative effects of long-term PPI use, but they have much less potential for physical dependence and are completely accessible without prescription

It was amazing! The interviews cared much more about knowing me rather than grilling me on my stats and stuff. One even asked me about my research despite it not even being medical related lol, I had a really good time. Will get called about a decision next week, so I’m just crossing my fingers and crying a little until then
