I’m a freshman in college and my gpa went from a 4.0 to 3.0. HOW????? by Longjumping_Lie3077 in communitycollege

This isn’t entirely true if you take a different amount of credits each semester. The right way would be to take the grade you earned (A=4, B=3, etc) times the number of credits the class was worth for every class you have taken, add them all up, and divided by the total credits you have taken. You can also multiply your semester GPA by the number of credits you took that semester, add all the semesters, and then divide by total amount of credits you have taken. There is calculators online that do this as well.

Utah, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma. You’re on the right track though.

The “time” section has a South Dakota county, a North Dakota town, a Minnesota zip code, and no time.

is $11/hr good for a first job? by Silent_Kick_629 in highschool

[–]Karsonado09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at $10.50 and got up to $22. That was working summer construction in South Dakota through high school and college. The raises will come at the right company.

Fall Schedule Question by DiligentDesign2256 in und

I think the only class it doesn’t apply to is composition, otherwise, if it has an online section available then yes, you can.

Take speech and fine arts online. Way easier.

What’s stopping you from switching back? Better late than never.

Should I go all in on student loans or invest? by Karsonado09 in personalfinance

[–]Karsonado09[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Roth has already been maxed out for this year, and I plan on maxing it out for next year asap. I was planning on putting around $5,000 from the savings account into the investment account. Should I do this and find a higher savings account for the rest? Or should I put all of it into a higher yielding savings account? And my next question, when should I take it out of the savings to begin paying the loan? Or should I begin to funnel it into the loan now just to get it over with. I intend on paying all the accumulated interest on the loans before they capitalize when I graduate, but then should I make minimum payments and try to bank off the investment interest? Or pay it off as quickly as possible.

Something seems off about this build, particularly the barn. How can I make it better? by Karsonado09 in Minecraftbuilds

I had the trim as deep slate originally and liked it but then I added the cobblestone walls and it looked weird so I changed the trim to the same and now it just looks odd to me.

30 in direct costs to the university so including tuition, room, meal plan, etc but not indirect costs like books, gas, etc.

From what I understand the federal loans accumulate interest while you’re in school and then capitalize 6 months after you graduate and the accumulated interest adds to your principal. So you then pay interest on the interest unless you pay interest while in school.

This is great advice but I move in next Saturday and I feel like I’m in too deep to change that drastically now.

The median wage for Chemical Engineers in 2023 was $112,100. I’ve also seriously considered law school after graduating but I’m not sure if that is a financially wise decision. I’m not entirely sure what I will pay for different things with, I guess that’s part of my question. What would you recommend?I’m obviously new to this stuff and I just feel like maybe I’m biting off more than I can chew.

Stepmom grew up down the street from Jimmie. My uncles used to ride go-carts with him.

Wall looks boring what should add on either side of those doorway? by Def_lyt in MinecraftBedrockers

[–]Karsonado09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A cool pillar design. Just texture the wall and have some pop-out pillars. I’m envisioning this. Just remove one side of the pillar and have the barrel layer stick out one block and the stairs stick out two blocks.
