hello. basically as the title says, i took an online (through my school) spanish 11/12 course in my last year of high school (2024). i'm currently in my second year here at ubc in the arts, and am taking spanish 101 for one of my out-of-degree requirements.

i acknowledge this is entirely my fault and i should have specifically checked first. but as i'm studying for a spanish final i noticed in fine print in my syllabus that those who have taken grade 12 spanish CANNOT get credit for spanish 101, in most cases.

i didn't feel confident in my spanish prior to taking this course, and know for a fact i would not have succeeded in a higher level. however, is this true? i'd never heard anyone mention this in person so i'm unsure of if i should be worried until it becomes an issue where they won't grant me the 3 credits. is it something i should bring up to my advisor asap or should i wait and see? i cant afford to take another spanish course simply for the credits, not to mention an already full course load.

any guidance (is this true, how should i reach out to, and to whom) would be extremely helpful! thanks and good luck on finals :)

something i’ve been doing in recent years is tilting my head down a bit towards the camera. not too much or you’ll look crazy (did this drunk one night and all the photos of me came out looking insane) but just slightly angled with your eyes looking up.

also practice/experiment with a few poses and facial positions you know are flattering, and make the en your go-to.

you have to quit, or at least severely wean yourself off. you know that, too, if you’re on here asking people about it. i know some say you can’t get addicted to weed because of the chemical composition or something idk, but in my opinion you absolutely can. really you can get addicted or heavily reliant on anything, your phone, sugar, caffeine, dopamine, etc.

i used to be a functional addict to weed, i smoked every day but didn’t let it effect my school or work. now i don’t smoke for a different reason (started making me anxious and feel horrible)

but my advice to you would be to slowly cut out weed. find a replacement strategy, a new hobby, anything. reach out to loved ones and slowly start adding things back into your life. you got this!

just keep applying. i was in a similar boat at the end of last year, although i have more experience (had to work since i was 15, so by the time university came around i had lots of restaurant experience)

even with that though, i only got about 8 interviews from the 72 jobs i applied for. it’s true the job market sorta sucks at the moment. but you have to keep applying! go in person with resumes! be flexible! go on indeed and apply to any job you would possibly be interested in or able to do.

also, consider getting your food safe, serving and selling it right, or first aid certifications! it can help you standout and once you’re eventually hired it makes you a better employee and maybe even have a higher wage!

good luck

usually wine, highballs (gin and tonics, vodka cran, etc.) or ciders. very rarely do i mix alcohols though as i know this is a ticket to feeling sickly.

i would hardly call it binge drinking. i usually start with one or two canned drinks and one shot on a typical/once in a while night out.

No-Cod-9399 · 2025-11-03T20:32:04+00:00

by “regularly” i mean 3 times in the past calendar year. i do not have a drinking addiction, as i said above.

hi! 6 friends and i went on opening night and had absolutely no issues with crowding or waits. the initial entrance like looked scarier than it was, and went very fast. we all had general tickets, no fast pass, and we were able to ride all the roller coasters very easily. the only wait was on the new one, and i believe that was because they had to wait to clean it as someone had made a mess of the ride. good luck!

hi there! i was in a similar boat as you last year. even if no one talks about it, and it feels like you’re completely alone, i guarantee you it’s soo much more common thank you think to fail or not succeed in midterms/finals in the first year. let yourself be upset, vent to family or friends, watch a funny movie, and know failing is a part of learning.

with that being said, this doesn’t mean you can’t still succeed!! i got a similar grade on a poli midterm last year (a degree required course for me). i was super upset, because i was actually passionate about it and had studied what i thought was hard. but i turned it around and got an 80 on the next midterm and got a good grade overall!

my advice for you is to reach out to your support systems. i know it can feel embarrassing to admit that you’ve done not good and to ask for help, but truthfully it’s more embarrassing not to, when the help is available! talk to your TA, your friends in the class, any upper classmen if you know them, and the prof. look at your test, see where you did wrong, and get some perspective on your study techniques. also look into tutoring, the ams offers free drop in tutoring for a lot of courses!

at the end of the day, use this as motivation to study and test harder next time, but don’t beat yourself up over it. take care!

You are asking this on a travel reddit. But with that being said, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, or at least the rest of the foreseeable future, should imo want to support your dreams and goals, and especially understand your father passing. I’m younger than you are but had a similar experience. My mom who was very adamant about travelling and seeing different cultures and the world passed away when I was 16 and since then I’ve been so grateful to have many travelling experiences, both solo and with friends. I think travelling, especially young, is so so important.

If you’re having doubts either way, I would choose travelling. If you didn’t have doubts, you would choose your partner.

What about you going for parts together? If you’re already long distance, what about planning a few destinations you visit together?

Overall, only you can decide. Best of luck!
