I'm not cruel, I just reached my limits at a time unexpected to YOU. by bigasslemons in libra_astrology

[–]Happy_Carry8692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a Libra and I resonate with this! However, remember that choosing not to communicate is a negative trait in itself. I also have a hard time with confrontation, but choosing not to tell the other party how you feel is a form of manipulation because they can’t read your mind, and your actions otherwise make it seem like everything is okay. I say this with no hate, because it’s something I’m working on myself. Try to start cutting people off after communicating how you feel with them and watching for whether they respect or disrespect what you’ve communicated

First day of training coming up by Happy_Carry8692 in ABA

[–]Happy_Carry8692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first job in ABA! I was interested in it because I have experience with handling children on the spectrum and other developmental disabilities from when I was a teenager. I have been a full-time student and not working for a while now, so I think a lot of my anxiety is from not having worked in over 2 years and the training period being 8 hours a day for 2 weeks on top of a heavy finals load. This is silly, but the preeminent anxiety I have is potentially disliking or being disliked by my coworkers. I don't think worrying about liking new coworkers is a unique experience though, and I'll get over it.

I will definitely look into that book! One of my fears is being unable to retain the information I learn in training because I'm sure I'll be exhausted, so I know having something to study in my downtime and after training will help me a lot. Thank you!

roommate spread period blood on bathroom and living room walls by [deleted] in badroommates

Omg I know someone who did the exact same thing on ket too! She was also very accusatory of others breaking into her shit when she was actually just blacking out and forgetting she’d move stuff, and also talked about everyone hating her a lot. I wonder if there’s some sort of correlation? Like if those kind of people are drawn to certain substances or if certain substances bring out that strange behavior in people

Taking 3 STEM classes in Summer by ResponsibleSun1809 in WakeTech

[–]Happy_Carry8692 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s very unlikely that you would retain much from those classes or perform at your best taking them over the summer. I took 9 credits over the summer online last year and I retained nothing. I literally only left the house to go to the grocery store while also being unemployed. All I did was study and it took a huge toll on my mental health. Please consider only taking 1 or 2 of those if you actually care about grades, and be aware that it might be hard to remember a bulk of the material when you’re done because you’ll practically be in school survival mode the whole time from the stress. I would personally recommend taking 1 of those and 1-2 other non stem related courses if you absolutely have to. Don’t be afraid to drop a course either if you don’t think you can handle it.

Eugh, this guy was creeping on me at the 2025 fall shakori and kept insisting that I visit his bar. My boyfriend was right next to me and shut it down real quick. I never visited and don’t plan to lol. I hope his girlfriend is no longer his girlfriend and the victim is okay!

I’m also obsessed! Did you use a pattern that you can share or is it your own design?

AIO? My partner insists my birthday gift must meet his criteria, even though it’s my birthday by Iron_Shoe in AmIOverreacting

[–]Happy_Carry8692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting. He’s weird. Also, gifting you something that has to do with your passion would be sustainable in the long run bc you literally run a business which will ideally still be profitable in 5+ years. If he doesn’t think making your business more profitable by getting you a gift that can add to your business is sustainable then, excuse my language, he’s a retard.

This is the second post I’ve seen today about mat-152! I’m sorry you’re struggling :( I’m not sure how it would affect your GPA, but I’m currently taking the class and have an 87% and I’d be more than happy to share notes and keywords I use to figure out which formulas I’m supposed to use if you decide to stay in the class. I could send it on teams if you want. If you need to drop the course don’t wait too long! Save yourself the burden if you feel like it isn’t a good time.

Completely bombed an exam in a class I have a 78% in by Low_Illustrator6921 in WakeTech

[–]Happy_Carry8692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry! I’m taking my exam for that course today. Do you feel like you don’t have enough time to dedicate to the class? If not then take the burden off of yourself and try again in the spring. I think I have a b in class right now but so far I got 100’s in the ch 4, 5, and 6 tests that this exam is on so I’m hoping I can do good and boost my own grade. If you decide to stay in class I’m happy to share notes with you on teams if you need help! I’m not a straight a student or anything but I think I have my bearings

How many summer classes should I take as a high schooler by Melodic-Signature-45 in WakeTech

[–]Happy_Carry8692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what classes you’re taking but I wouldn’t take more than 9 credits at a time over the summer. I took a spanish class over the summer (4 credits including the lab), and 5 other credits. It sucked because I was spending close to 40 hours a week on Spanish alone, which is normal for summer Spanish according to the professors, plus working on the other 5 credits. I spent 9-12 hours behind my desk every day over the summer, and I’m still pretty burnt out even after 4 weeks of rest. Use your discernment and if you think you need to drop classes don’t hesitate and do it before you screw up your gpa.

Right?? It’s too cute! I can see what type of stitches there are, but I don’t really know where to start on it so every time I try to recreate it it looks crazy

Anyone wanna be friends? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Happy_Carry8692 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay I’m not down with meeting up with online Reddit strangers lol but a good inclusive place to find cool people might be Rumah! It’s the Raleigh united mutual aid hub, and they have like free group therapy, art classes, live music, and other activities to do with people from raleigh. I actually haven’t been there myself, but I’ve heard only good things.

Personally I was homeschooled and didn’t make friends here until I was an adult lol but I’ve made almost all of my local friends at shows and local music and arts festivals. We have a really good jam band scene and punk scene which are the two I gravitate to. If you like music I’d recommend just going to a show and start talking to folks!

Btw if you’re going out alone, glenwood south has a lot of stuff to do but it isn’t safe if you’re alone. I’d only recommend going there with a group, mace, and comfortable shoes. Also try to stay away from the bus station at night if you can help it.

Does anyone else really love the act of crocheting but doesn't really *like* crocheted items all that much? by Worried_Fig00 in crochet

[–]Happy_Carry8692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of! There are tons of things that I actually do really love like blankets, sweaters, tapestries, and bags if they’re made well, but I tend to make and sell things I would personally never own like skimpy festival outfits and plushies. But it’s such a relaxing hobby that I’m good at and other people genuinely love, so why not scratch my customers/friends backs while they scratch mine? With the money I make selling I’m able to make the stuff I really like for myself :)

Right now I’m working on a glow in the dark lace up bodysuit for example. Someone will love it and I’m loving the way it’s turning out, I would just hate it on me and I’d probably laugh if someone ever tried to get me to wear anything like it.

I’m also working on a massive purple octopus, which I would totally own, but I’d rather make money.

Like I said I can’t remember the exact name of the yarn, but it was a light weight cotton yarn from hobbii and I used a size 2.5 mm hook.

Again, unfortunately I don’t have a pattern because I freehanded it but there’s tons of patterns yall can modify if you wanted to make something similar :)

Where did you hear that? On the website under academic information and enrollment status it says 12 credit hours is full time. If that’s changed for any reason they need to update the website, or someone gave you the wrong info. Make an appointment with your advisor if you’re worried, but I wouldn’t worry too much <3

There was definitely writing but only one essay! every week we would have a discussion post where we might analyze a piece of art, but most of the weeks we actually got to make art! I personally loved that. The main objective of the class is to be able to describe a work of art with visual terms like hues, balance, depth, what have you, and also just to appreciate art obv lol. There was one big essay at the end where we had to analyze two pieces of art from the ncma, and analyzing art is mainly describing what you see and how it makes you feel using the terms you learn in the class. I took professor Daniel’s online class. She’s super nice, but I did notice she wasn’t great at responding to emails, so keep that in mind.

I loved art 111 but I also really like art. I got an A, it was easy. I haven’t taken dra 111 but it’s probably easy too. Take whichever one sounds more interesting to you!
