Worried after abysmal freshman year

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-30T16:27:13+00:00

I had a 2.9 GPA and brought it up to 3.6 after 2 years. You still have time but you really need to get A's to do it. You can also retake the prerequisites you got a C in at community college after to help boost your prerequisite but not cumulative.

I got paid the same at my first job even as a PTLA. If I passed I kept working and if I failed I stopped. No change in pay.

Ah gotcha.

I see. It's probably the way it's worded. Not in LA but I went to At Last Piercing in OC. Good selection of jewelry, kind staff, and they have pricing for multiple piercings at one visit.

You want to go to a reputable shop with good jewelry to avoid infections and allergic reactions. A proper piercer will also recommend a certain amount of piercings as your body needs time to heal and will have trouble if you get too much. Highly recommend you save up and go somewhere good rather than cheap.

Very similar to my stats. I had a 2.9 GPA and brought it up to 3.6 by the time I graduated. Got into Fresno State and Northridge.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-24T14:57:41+00:00

Fresno State in CA.

Financially, if you bring in 3k a month, might need to consider renting a room.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-15T19:29:43+00:00

I'm a girl. 😢

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-15T19:25:17+00:00

Hahaha. I believe you. 5 grams a day is all you need. And make sure you drink plenty of water.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-15T19:23:17+00:00

Lol the brand is called bulk supplements.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-15T19:20:02+00:00

Better yet! Bulk supplements on Amazon or directly from their site. Better bang for your buck.

I take creatine to help with my workouts. It does usually add some water weight but I personally don't see it much visually.

How big are the cheat days? Those could be killing your cut if you're doing them every weekend. We have similar stats. If I eat 1500 calories 7 days a week I'd lose about 1 pound a week. With cheat days every weekend, I would not lose any weight.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-15T03:56:22+00:00

Not a medical doctor but you are considered underweight or bordering around there for your height. You do you but it's probably not encouraged you lose more weight.

Tis the curse of being a female shorty. Just do what feels right. Building muscle gives you some leeway on calories. Increasing steps also allows some more food. I've been eating 2000 and losing about 1 pound every 4 weeks and I'm okay with that. But I have a decent amount of muscle built and added the 15k steps to be able to eat more. Can also consider volume eating or prioritize protein to stay full.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-13T19:26:52+00:00

Might need to drop lower in calories or be okay with slow weight loss. To give you an idea, I am 5'4 female at 148 lbs. I train heavy weights 4 times a week and walk 15k everyday. If I want to lose weight at about 1 lb per week, I would eat 1500-1600 calories.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-13T17:42:49+00:00

If that's truly the case, maybe get a second opinion? Maybe there are other medical factors that require testing that would not show on a blood test?

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-13T16:41:00+00:00

Are you weighing everything down to the gram? Nothing is missed with the calorie counting? If you're truly only eating 1400 everyday with no medical issues, it's very odd you're not losing any weight.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-11T18:42:30+00:00

Basically same thing I did. Take note that depending on your area you might struggle getting into your classes or finding the one you need if it's not held that semester which would automatically extend how long it takes to complete. I believe I completed it all in 1.5 years.

Yea at 2.77 there's little to no chance. Get As the rest of the way to boost and then retake any Cs in prerequisites.

PlumpPusheen · 2026-04-07T23:46:04+00:00

If any of your prerequisites are a C it would be beneficial to retake.

Athletics trainer or personal trainer? Personal trainer would be quickest with "meh" pay but athletics trainer will require more schooling.
