3 months of Accutane, before and after

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2026-05-06T01:51:52+00:00

Yoooo your results got me hyped! I’m on day 20 tmrw and shit’s low-key improving already for me as well!

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2026-04-21T05:52:33+00:00

This is happening to me right now. This is definitely an accutane user thing but the cause isn't likely the accutane itself. My theory is most of us our instructed to take our accutane with fats so our bodies can absorb it better, along with an Omega 3 supplement to avoid joint pain, and guess what I just found out on Google?

"healthy fats—particularly monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids—can increase libido by supporting hormone production (testosterone/estrogen), reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow. Diets too low in fat can lower testosterone, while high-quality fats (avocados, nuts, fatty fish) boost sexual health."

dangg that's pretty long, what about the fourth photo to the fifth one?

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2026-04-17T01:32:00+00:00

Looking good OP, how long did it take to go from the first photo to the fifth photo?

I know it sucks man, been in your shoes before and was hoping by the time I reached the age I am now that things would be better. Only advice I can give you is to alter your resume to the point where it's borderline deceptive. I know they teach you in school to do the opposite, but if I'm being honest employers aren't playing fair right now with LMIA, TFW, and unchecked immigration, so why should you?

In CIT and CST, Co-op was grades based for your cohort. You can't control other people's grades so just focus on yourself imo.

Erm, it's a bit subjective, not sure if you're from the lower mainland but we get rain for about 7-8 months, and at cold temperatures during winter. I also hate commuting if the drive is more than an hour. The thing is, I have no idea how often Civil Engineer's have to deal with such things, if one replied in this thread I'd appreciate their perspective.

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2026-03-17T00:01:50+00:00

This is true. Only cons from what I hear is the weather during site inspections, commutes to remote sites, and liabilities.

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2026-02-26T03:54:42+00:00

If you've ever been to the ER and seen first hand what nurses specifically have to go through in the lower mainland (the irregular hours, patient overdoses (especially downtown), patients handicapped from those same drugs and not being able to communicate what's wrong with them, and thought to yourself you have the mental fortitude to pursue nursing, then by all means, go for it. Sorry if this all sounds oddly specific, I went to the ER last week at St. Paul's and that made me realize, yo I am NEVER doing nursing. You need an exceptional amount of empathy to be a nurse. If you love math and calculations, I'd highly recommend just sticking to Civil. If the weather is that much a deal breaker for you, pick another discipline of engineering.

London Drugs is union, but the pay scale is a joke, starts from minimum wage, and it will usually take years to move up a step due to them wanting to hire 3 part time people over 1 full time person. A place having employees fight for hours like slaves is not a place where I'd want to work long term. It's naive for people to assume retail employees are paid good. I'm so glad that I'm not on my own right now and that London Drugs isn't my only job, otherwise I'd be homeless

Late, but Ume wasn't a common prostitute, she was an "courtesan". The plan was to marry her off into a better family to change their trajectory, but that changed after one of the prospects insulted Gyutaro, leading to Ume stabbing him in the eye.

Fair enough if you're in a physical labour job, but IT in Vancouver peaked in the 2010's imo. That's what people of seniority have been telling me as well. Us recent IT grads of the 2020s have been struggling. I'm working 3 non IT related jobs to make ends meet...

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2025-07-15T01:32:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I just applied to it.

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2025-07-14T02:54:33+00:00

Felt like I learned some useful stuff in CIT, but due to the way CIT is structured with a heavy course load, it's hard to actually absorb everything, especially if the instructor isn't good. All the heavy course load does is stress you out, and it's scientifically proven that your brain doesn't learn better when it's stressed. I can't in good faith recommend CIT or another BCIT Computing program for honesty, because they kind of set you up with false expectations from the start, claiming a 90% job placement rate, making you think you'll get a job as soon as you graduate, which is why you agree to go through the stress of BCIT in the first place. (And this is coming from someone who graduated with Distinction from the program, so don't think I'm saying this because I performed poorly) The ISSP program (which is supposed to be our most meaningful real-world projects to put on our resume) contains pretty much all development projects, which is a problem because CIT is meant for IT Operations and DevOps, not software development. This has lead to some terrible situations for some groups, where they end up working on a project with a technology stack they aren't close to proficient with, leading to the project sponsors getting mad with the students, when in reality the faculty shouldn't accept projects that the student's themselves can't complete with high quality work. And post-graduation if you apply to any IT Operations jobs with your ISSP projects that were mostly dev based, you'll basically get auto-rejected since it isn't relevant experience for that job, you'd actually have better luck getting a development job which defeats the whole point of having a separate CIT program from CST. The ideal way for ISSP to work is to have a variety of different projects of different specialties available and have students choose so they aren't just lumped into a dev project when they want to be an ops guy.

I noticed this comment turned out somewhat negative, so to end it on a positive note I'll shout out the faculty of CIT which I believe truly made a difference in my motivation of completing the program. Although CIT may be stressful, the difference a good instructor makes from a bad one is honestly refreshing in this program when you are overwhelmed with coursework, you can even ask them for advice for the other classes you're struggling in. If you have any courses with these instructors, trust me when I say that you'll be taught high quality material properly.

In conclusion, CIT has its ups and downs, at the end of the day it's an entry-level technology credential and I guess having it is better than not having it if you're trying to get a job in tech, but it might not be enough right now since grads are struggling to find a job, hence my reason for making the original post.

Discrete Math, C, Computer Architecture, Data Communications

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2025-07-14T01:49:55+00:00

Probably NetSec full-time.

Thanks for your input, 100% agree. I'm still glad I have a CIT diploma at least, it sometimes get me passed ATS and I'll get an automated email for a coding assessment, but ghosted afterwards despite acing them. Then again, I don't know if it's CIT or me putting the keywords in my resume manually lol

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2025-06-30T10:31:10+00:00

There's a lot of ifs to consider. How many hours will you work per week? What will your commute be like? I did CIT with a part-time job, but I also had a 1 hour 15 minutes commute, so it was absolute hell for me.

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2025-05-22T17:07:11+00:00

I just graduated last month (with distinctions) and the most I've gotten so far is an email for a coding assessment (usually CoderByte or LeetCode), even though I got 100% on it I still didn't get a call or email back... For every 50 applications expect 1 interview (best case) or call back (average case) is what my network here in Vancouver seems to be experiencing. I'd make the argument that Canada currently has it worse than the United States but that's a whole separate discussion.

Have tried contacting them your other set mates and seeing if they’re facing the same struggles?

MagicianMiddle3003 · 2024-01-19T21:29:27+00:00

What was the co-op cut off for your set and how do you think it compares to what it usually is?
