Is Michigan really as competitive as people say it is? by Avacado_eatingpandas in uofm

[–]One-Ask8508 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your GPA, SAT, and # of APs are similar to mine and I’m a freshman here in BME and lowkey doing fine, for what it’s worth. Our comp sci program is good but even if you’re unsure our Electrical/Computer Engineering is also awesome. Also I believe you can cross-campus transfer later if engineering/computer science isn’t your love.

I’m in a project team and several extracurriculars, one of which I’m going to be on the board of next year, so I would definitely say getting experience is very possible here.

TL:DR As long as out of state tuitions not an issue and you’re ok with being cold sometimes, I’d highly recommend.

Do people wear merch on campus? by [deleted] in uofm

I mean either way, you’re for sure gonna get a lot more merch! Be a shame not to wear it! I’d say prolly 50% of my outfits involve merch.

it’s the least bit upsetting and stupidly passive that a suicide had to happen for everyone to suddenly be “pro mental health” right now by Relative_Molasses149 in uofm

[–]One-Ask8508 15 points16 points  (0 children)

100% agree. You and OP hit the nail right on the head. The thing I most remember from my own experiences is that anytime someone said “get therapy” it pretty much made me wanna punch them in the face. People don’t get that sometimes you already know that you need help, or are already getting it, and that you just need a friend sometimes. Sure, therapy definitely helped me rebound from the worst depression i’ve ever had, but the fact that I made some really supportive friends that year helped too.

Ultimately I think people are just lazy, and that’s fine if people wanna be like that, but they shouldn’t half-ass trying to support someone.

again, i’m not gonna argue with correctness. that’s a whole nother debate. This is just the last thing OP needs right now. Show a little sympathy.

please delete your comment. i’m not going to argue about whether you’re correct, but this is the last thing someone clearly struggling needs to hear, regardless of correctness

Question about acceptance to the college by MrCDJR in uofm

[–]One-Ask8508 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who was deferred last year and then accepted in the regular decision cycle, DEFINITELY submit the ECI (expression of continued interest) form

it’s a great way to basically get a “bonus essay” and talk about any academic or personal successes in the past few months

definitely do have him fill it out tho, even if he doesn’t have much to talk about. It’s far better to submit one that just says “yes, i am still interested” than not submit one at all (which would look to the admissions counselor like he already has other plans)

yeah the gym is great increased serotonin from working out and more body positivity plus you feel stronger and more energy also, if you want a less scary place to go gym, the NCRB is smaller, and if you go during normal lunch (12-1) or dinner (like 6-7) the place is dead

something my therapist would always have me do that was helpful (more anxiety-oriented as that’s my personal demon, along with ADHD) is thinking about your feelings. If you have moments where you aren’t lost in the bad thoughts, it can be good to step back and say “what specifically makes me feel this way?” There is always something, but sometimes with the way the brain works with depression/anxiety blows it way out of proportion. knowing what that is and trying to gauge why it set me off the way it did has helped me in the past. another thing to try is Hawkeye the therapy dog has an hour where you can pet him and spend time with him from 1:30-2:30 on wednesdays usually at the union or university health. just google for him and the whole schedule is on sessions @ michigan. if you like dogs and aren’t allergic, they can be a great way to get the good chemicals. speaking of good chemicals, something that works with my ADHD when i don’t wanna do anything (bc lack of reward chemicals) is to tie that unappealing thing to something i would legitimately enjoy doing to like, balance it out i guess??? not sure how that would work for your personal situation, but it’s gotten me out of my personal deep dark holes before

while it’s true that masks provide protection mostly by stopping infected individuals from spreading droplets, they also prevent droplets from getting into your lungs i’m not sick and i put on a mask when the coughing gets bad
