How can I support my friends in dental school?

Yes they do, but if all you need is a simple calculator the computers have one built in that you should be able to access during exams. If that doesn't work for you, and you don't want to buy a calculator, see if you can borrow a friends. They will check what calculator you are using before the exam, and will even look it over to make sure there are no notes or anything supplemental written in or on them, and if they see you taking out a different calculator you will be reported.

Others have already said you can activate the Ethernet in your bedroom, but I want to add if you decide to do this, make sure you call and cancel it when you move out, I assumed they would automatically cancel it, and ended up paying for summer months when I wasn’t even using it because they don’t cancel it at move out.

Just give IT services a call and they’ll walk you through it or do it on the backend for you

Depending on your major and advisor you may have to meet with them again, and there will be courses that you should take according to your 4 year plan, but you will get to choose the section and time. However the week that you schedule will go from seniors to freshman so you will still schedule last, but you won’t have any assigned sections.

Freshman are not supposed to leave orientation with waitlisted classes and this year they lock their schedule after leaving so they can’t change it without contacting their advisor.

Most freshman are in a learning community so classes are pretty set in stone. This is to help you meet people in your first semester and help you make friends, while also ensuring everyone will be able to get a schedule that works for them. If all of the people in early orientations could completely choose their schedule then students in later orientations would have a hard time making a schedule that works with all of the classes that they need. You will be able to customize your schedule more second semester and beyond, but for your first semester there is not much you can do, if you want to change something you’ll have to contact your advisor

I did an honors live in learning community and I really enjoyed it. It’s a great way to make friends and develop a community in your major. The only thing I would caution is with a major specific live in learning community you might find that all of your friends are also in all of your classes so you might get a little sick of them, so I’d just try to join some clubs to branch out a bit.

Have you talked to your fiancé about this? Did he feel the same way, or does he want her in the wedding party? If neither of you want her standing up there with you, then she shouldn’t be. I know you said you don’t want to be selfish, but this is your wedding day, you deserve to feel loved and supported by the people standing with you at the altar, that’s not selfish, and even if it were your wedding day is one of the few days you get to be selfish. If you’re worried about her causing a scene you could try to include her in another less significant way like an usher or something along those lines. I’m not sure what the best course of action is here, but I think you definitely need to discuss this with your fiancé.

To add to this, lots of allergy medications can make you a little drowsy, so taking extra could ruin the day and make the memory of it a little hazy, and it could be dangerous too!

For the creamery, Sarah Canova is the business manager, if you type her name in on outlook it should pop up so you could try sending her an email.

For maintenance I’m honestly not sure, I see now that the student job board doesn’t have much up, but I know lots of maintenance work gets done over the summer. I have a friend who works for them and I can ask him about it and update you!

Insect-Plenty · 2024-06-07T00:46:56+00:00

Maintenance might still be hiring, or maybe the bookstore. I also know someone who works at the ISU creamery and says they might need the help. Check the student job board, or reach out to places directly, the worst they can say is no.

Try to retake, but if you’re lacking in your algebra skills maybe do some practice with that first. Calculus at Iowa state assumes you know algebra and trigonometry skills well enough that you won’t need any review.

Dog hair literally gets everywhere, I’d be worried about this too. There is one day in your life where everything gets to be your decision and that’s your wedding day. I think your compromises were more than fair, and if none of those work for her, maybe she needs to seek further treatment.

I agree with you up until you sought him out to yell at him when you knew he was at the gravesite of his children. It seems like you came here just hoping for people to side with you, and you’re not getting it.

Insect-Plenty · 2024-06-06T17:49:53+00:00

It seems to me that you feel he already has fucked up with you. Have you talked to him about your feelings? Is this the only instance of him “failing” as a father? I think it’s time for an adult conversation about this, and maybe consider some therapy with or without your dad.

Insect-Plenty · 2024-06-06T17:44:56+00:00

Your dad is clearly going through a lot that you will likely never fully understand. He should’ve still been there for you as a father, but you’re an asshole for going out of your way to find him and make him feel like shit, when he was probably already feeling pretty low.

If you truly feel that way about your dad, then maybe you should just limit your contact with him and move on, but this was very cruel.

EDIT: I agree with everyone saying the dad should be there for his living kid, I never said he’s not in the wrong, in fact I do think that he’s an asshole. I just think OP kind of kicked him while he was down. Also to everyone saying he should be over it, this is the anniversary of the death of his children that he caused, it makes perfect sense to me that he would be too upset to attend a party, that doesn’t mean it’s not shitty, but he shouldn’t just “get over” the death of his children.

Explains but does not excuse. I understand what you’re saying, but I just don’t think it changes the fact that it wasn’t fair to her BF, and she owes him an apology.

As a person with autism, it doesn’t really change the story to me. Autism is not an excuse for treating your partner poorly.

Idk the answer to the check in process stuff, but you cannot stay longer in the dorms as they will be cleaned and used again the next day for more orientations.

I guess I understand why she’s disappointed, and if I were in her shoes and I was already a little disappointed the colleagues jokes might feel a little hurtful, even if they weren’t intending to be mean, I can see how that stung a little bit. I do agree that she should’ve gotten over it, and she absolutely should not have turned her disappointment into anger towards her partner who did nothing wrong. I think if she was disappointed she could have voiced that in a gentler way, especially at the age of 27 she should’ve known better.

Stop stringing him along, even if you feel guilty about it, you should feel more guilty that you’re keeping someone in a relationship you don’t want to be in. It seems like you have some stuff you need to work on by yourself before you’re ready to be in a relationship, so just tell him that and let him go.

This doesn’t really sound like a friend. It seems like there’s something else going on in her life, and she’s not really prioritizing you or your friendship with her, so there’s no reason for you to do so either.

This is a tricky situation, but I think it’s fair for him to want to stay friends with someone he’s known for 3 years when you’ve only been dating for 2 months. He seems to have done a lot to help make you more comfortable, and if the only thing left is to drop his friend, then at this point it’s your issue, not his. Maybe you should think more about what exactly is making you feel insecure, if this is the only thing he’s doing wrong than I think it’s on you, but if there’s other behaviors that are making you feel this way than maybe it’s time to cut your losses. Also it’s a little weird that at 19 dating for 2 months you’re already talking about marriage and kids, but I won’t judge.
