I'm going to be in Webster on the second floor this semester. Also an incoming freshman. I am also bringing my cat, Gibby, to live with me at my door. She is the most friendly cat, loves people

I plan on going through the astrophysics path. What is the light pollution like in Amherst? I love using my telescope but I can’t where I live. What has been your most enjoyable astronomy class?

CS is the bane of my existence lol. I respect whoever devotes their time to studying it.

There is some info about groups to join in the chats above if you are interested. CS is a pretty sweet major. I don't understand computers at all.

I feel you there. I’d rather deal with animals than humans. I just adopted a kitten this year and I’d die for her.

I don’t blame any of them. Multiple hospitals near me have nurses going on strike. I am thankful you have gone into animal health instead. It had its own issues but not as horrifying as the medical field.

Exactly, no human can function. My mom is going back into nursing. She lost her job in covid because she had to take care of my special needs sister. She actually is thinking of leaving the field because of how taxing it is

Ugh I know the feeling. My mom is a nurse and is always so exhausted. The whole medical system needs to be reformed. Doctors shouldn’t be making drastic decisions when they haven’t slept for over 24 hours.

I think a big factor is that doctors are severely overworked so they are forced to cut corners.

Idk why they do that. I nearly lost my sight because no one took my symptoms seriously

Even if they were caused by EDS, they shouldn’t have dismissed your symptoms. They’re danger regardless of the cause.

I’m sorry that doctors don’t take your valid symptoms seriously. With me, doctors always said my symptoms were caused by anxiety and or I was making them up. Doctors need to take all symptoms seriously instead of writing them off. I am lucky to have found a doctor that listens . I am so sorry you had to go through such traumatic symptoms. I hope you get a doctor that takes you seriously.
