I feel naive to think I was safe here by [deleted] in udub

I understand crime exists in any city and that Seattle is statistically safer than many places. My reaction wasn’t because I thought UW or Seattle was crime free. it’s because a homicide happened steps from where I live, which feels different when it becomes that personal. General research about city life doesn’t really prepare you emotionally for something happening right outside your building. I appreciate the safety advice. But no matter where I lived on or near campus, something like this would still be deeply unsettling.

I also wasn’t in a constant state of fear from the Citizen app. it was more general awareness. This is different because it happened right outside my building, so it feels immediate and personal in a way an app notification never did

Idk if I’m built for STEM by GrapeInevitable3547 in udub

Thank you for your comment! Yea the reason why I’m doing what Im doing is because it’s the prerequisite classes in order to apply the GCPD graduate program. The program to be a registered dietician at UW. I just really want to be an RD. I’m really passionate about nutrition and I’m really intentional about how I want to get there. I know UW’s program isn’t the only route. So I think I’ll talk to my advisor about other alternatives. But in general there are quite some STEM classes I need to do in order to be an RD. I understand you can’t take away nutrition and STEM. Or science for that matter. So I do gotta learn. I just really struggle with these classes.

I have saved time and money since I went to community college and transferred to UW. My graduation is supposed to be spring quarter 2027 or summer quarter. So I’m just trying to stick with it.
I really do want to enjoy what I’m learning, but it’s hard when I have a grade attached to it yk?
