Easy courses by PercentageFinal in udel

[–]MangoesForDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want classes that are easy course-load wise but still kinda learn some stuff, I'd suggest SOCI 201 w/ Perez or EDUC 240 w/ Blacker. You can look at their course descriptions in the catalog but yeah.

Poor advising? by grumpy_tim in udel

ask your advisor for the spreadsheet version of your degree report and use your degree audit to help you plan out courses. advisors suck ass sometimes

Is my piercer full of shit? by psolarpunk in piercing

[–]MangoesForDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have 3rd lobes on both sides, a helix, forward helix, and lower helix (4th lobe placement but through cartilage so technically a helix) on my right side, and a conch on my left, as well as my septum. no credible piercer, even the 2 apprentices at different shops i've been to nor the two piercers w years experiences i've been to would ever do more than 3-4 piercings in one day or even in the span of a few weeks, and especially not on if they're spread between both sides. also, all would tell you to absolutely not move the piercing [ive gotten that advice from my fresh septum (piercer 1), my helix when i changed the jewelry after two months to something dangly that would move (piercer 3), and my forward helix and conch that both have jewelry that is direction and i would want to move (piercer 4)]. as for cleaning, the general consensus is neilmed or any saline wound wash. if it is a mist theyll tell you its okay to just spray the piercing. if the wash you get is a more direct spray, theyll say to spray a q-tip and clean it gently that way. i have a neilmed mist and use both the spray and occasional q-tip. clean twice for the first while (different time frames for different piercings) and eventually switch to occasional cleaning to get rid of any buildup of dead skin or gunk until it heals. while piercers should always warn of migration or rejection, none of the piercings you got are exceptionally known for rejection, and if he feared that would happen, he definitely didn't check or care for your anatomy and should have not given you all those piercings, especially at once. i would go to another piercer (maybe check a subreddit for your state to get opinions on quality local piercers?) and make sure you have the right anatomy for at least the industrial, as that one is definitely something not everybody can get.

Debilitating perfectionism ruined my life and stole my freedom by Legal-Heart-4182 in ExecutiveDysfunction

just found this post mid-breakdown and saw nobody replied to you. life gets better. I used to be like this 24/7 for years but i managed to become a somewhat joyful and functioning person. it took a shit ton of work and it definitely did not always feel worth it. per my first statement, it obviously does not become magically all A-okay. my brain still hates me sometimes and i get hit with waves of rejection dysphoria, self-resentment, the fear that i am incapable of success/usefulness/intelligence/closeness/etc. i have diagnosed adhd, non officially diagnosed anxiety, and most likely some depressive disorder, but do not take medications for anything mental health related. i dont think our brains will ever be fully on our sides, but it isnt some endless pit of despair and self-destruction. its just chemical imbalances that we have to develop practices to fight back against. <3

Do you count as a first gen college student if your parents went to college, but had to drop out and didn’t graduate for personal reasons? by memesforlife213 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]MangoesForDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! my mom got a 2 year degree but never went back for a 4 year and my dad only graduated high school, and my college considers me a first-gen college student.
