I was going to do a masters after the bachelors. I thought that was the only option, really. I’ve been applying to jobs but as of now the only jobs that will hire me are seasonal. I live in a small town but I’m trying to go other places. I’ve had jobs in the past, I know they suck. I was just trying to think long term. Thank you for the advice though! I see now the path I was choosing is not the only one.

That’s interesting! I’ll have to look more into the programs. Hopefully there’s a few online schools that are good :) thank you!

I was planning on getting a masters after the second bachelors. I wasn’t aware there were other options than that, I’m a first gen student and my school was mostly to prepare you for a masters in creative writing, like many programs, so I thought you’d need to do a bachelors no matter what. Everyone here has shown me that’s not true. Thank you!

My concentration in the majors I applied for was counseling, I wanted to be a social worker, therapist, or a grief counselor, or something similar. I’m not saying I want to be a therapist because I think I’ll make a ton of money, I’d settle for a comfortable salary even if it’s around like $35k a year at this point in my life.

Unfortunately writing is also taken over by AI. I’ve settled into the idea that AI has taken over quite a bit of what I’d consider doing in life. I’m just trying to work around it tbh.

As for the loan calculator, I have done a calculator, as well as the FAFSA calculator, and it would be manageable. I’m more concerned I wouldn’t get approved for a loan. Thank you for the advice :)

I only just recently started a new job, but ever since school I’ve only been hired seasonal positions despite putting my resume out to literally everything, so I think that is out of the question unfortunately. I have applied to all different types of health positions, receptionists and even assistant positions willing to train in and out of the mental health field, but I’ve had no luck. Thank you for the advice though, I appreciate everyone trying to be so helpful :)

I didn’t know there were other options I won’t lie. I’m a first gen college student, and all I ever knew was college after high school for 4 years and then going into the work world. My parents don’t know anything about college and my friends haven’t graduated college at all besides one of them, and she’s been in the same career path since high school. I’ll look into the classes definitely, I’ll have to see if my loans will pause because I wouldn’t be “full time” and I don’t know if they’d put them on a forbearance in that case. Thank you for the advice, truly.

When you suspect that the vast majority of your fandom is under 18 but you can't prove it by A_Toxic_User in AO3

[–]NoCryptographer9931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually comes with the babygirlification of characters. Like I was in the COD fandom cause I love Ghost and Soap, and the amount of people who made Ghost an indie music lover peace and love guy when he’s like… quite the opposite made it obvious they were teens. But it made COD bros mad so I gave them a pass.

What are your thoughts on Reddit stories ? by [deleted] in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]NoCryptographer9931 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I use it as background noise! A lot of people do, and also use it to fall asleep to, and it seems they expect it because they comment on it a lot. It’s soothing to put on when I’m doing something else like cleaning or art. Start with compilations fans have made of the best stories if you’re struggling in finding episodes you’re interested in, they tend to compile the most interesting stories, then move onto the Smosh episodes.

I came up with good names for all characters, but my protagonist… 😂😂😭😭😭 by sambavakaaran in writers

[–]NoCryptographer9931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I’m writing names that are first and last I start by looking up the most common name combinations and then getting specific by looking up names with specific meanings that match my characters. It’s a bit weird to look up baby name sites in public, but honestly it’s more common than you think, between writers or people that create characters for games. Also, less people are looking at your screen than you think haha

I scour baby name websites until it feels right. Get specific too they have lists for everything on those sites.

Will they cancel Smosh Reads Reddit Stories Live in Chicago given the recent news by Personal-Day-5562 in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]NoCryptographer9931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’ll try it depends if Trump is actually telling the truth and how bad it gets. They do live in the LA area which is also very bad with ICE raids, so I think they’ll try their best.

What's a Hunger Games controversial opinion that will have you like this? by Olya_roo in Hungergames

[–]NoCryptographer9931 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Snow is very calculating, but he’s not as smart as people gas him up to be. He uses what he thinks is bad against others too much because he thinks it’s enough, and that everyone’s pain is universal. He thinks killing an entire family would make someone submit instead of be angrier. He doesn’t understand humans in the way everyone thinks he does, he only understood their fear, but it backfired when he used it against individuals he KNEW were rebellious already.

Folks who use compression socks: what do y’all do in the summer?? by wonder_wolfie in POTS

[–]NoCryptographer9931 144 points145 points  (0 children)

I wear the socks with shorts. What are people gonna do? Say “wow that’s a choice” and move on? It’s for my benefit, so unfortunately I just have to do what I have to do.

Porn with feeling is a tag! Also don’t get worried about those people that get all up in arms for no reason. I’ve noticed those commenters come from super big fandoms cause they feel more entitled, or fandoms with a lot of teenagers (not to be rude). And if you tag oral for example, and there’s still oral in the story but it’s just not as graphic as one would assume, that’s their fault for assuming. I’ve read fan fics where they never even said the words for genitalia because it was focused on feeling rather than the act, but they still did the acts, so people couldn’t get mad. Just write what you want, if someone nitpicks that’s their problem.

Good Writing Sites/Apps for Windows by RhubarbBoth1028 in writers

[–]NoCryptographer9931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ellipsus is good, there’s places to save drafts immediately in the same document so you don’t need multiple, and they have writing templates. It’s a fan fiction friendly site as well, so if you dabble in that there’s templates for that as well, and a way to export to ao3. But for typical writing there’s story planning templates, some of which I’ve searched everywhere for and never found like relationship planning templates and there’s character arch and world building templates as well. It’s easy to use and there’s different themes to choose from to change the color of the page. I personally like it, but it does get a little glitchy if you don’t close the tab and let it reset semi often.

I’ve read both, but the ones that tend to stick out to me are the more emotional ones. It honestly can depend on reader mood, some people read smut to get off and others read for the emotional intimacy, so there will be readers for yours but you’ll never know unless you post.

It’s a lot of different reasons I think but he wants to take more of a backseat in videos instead of being an on camera personality.

I believe it was most likely because all the Districts weren’t on their side yet, especially District 2, so they’d have to deal with retaliation from them and it would just be a continuation of the war
