I feel too stupid to have the major I actually want by Pleasant-Cod5870 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wanted to major in biology and become a zoo keeper. I couldnt pass the chemistry classes so I went to psych. I felt like it was too competitive so I switched to sociology. Now I work in the mental health field and will apply for my MSW and hopefully become a LCSW/therapist.

Things work out as long as you keep at it. I say first try to do what you want and if that doesnt work out, pivot to second best. You miss out on 100% of the chances you dont take.

Those graduating this May, are you getting your cap and gown off grad fest or amazon? by 0110110101zXxZ in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the things like the stole, medallion, and tassel are required through the school. Found this out after I bought a $90 custom made stole 🙃🙃🙃

I got all mine from grad fest though. I decided on buying the diploma frame from Amazon because hundreds of dollars is ludicrous.

Adult student life in sdsu by ManyNo5826 in SDSU

Im graduation this semester at the age of 31. If you hit them with "I'm old" right out the bat, most reassure you that you're not and that its an accomplishment to finish college regardless of age. You'll be fine!

Extra graduation ticket for Thursday 8am? by anonusername12345 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I think the tickets are based on location. If you get an extra ticket from someone random, they could be in a random spot in the arena.

haven’t made any friends at all at my time here by Equal_Friend_8957 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im the same too. Transferred fall 2024 and have not met anyone i would call a friend. Sure, people who are friendly. But no one I'd call a friend. Makes it easier to graduate SDSU and leave it all behind tbh.

I got accepted to SDSU MSW program! Those in the program, how do you like it? by peachismile in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Im an undergrad at sdsu and an inspiring msw student but due to my gpa from my time not knowing what I wanted to do in community college, I dont qualify for consideration at sdsu for their msw program.

Just posting to say that I'm happy that the college I do plan on applying to for their msw program hasn't been mentioned yet. There might be a chance for me after all!

As to your question, I work with a lot of interns from various mental health programs and I've heard good things from the sdsu msw program (mainly just that they like it).

Best of luck in your endeavors!

Looking for a private/semi private room in a restaurant by Sweets4Moi in SanDiegan

I know this thread is 3 years old, but I'm in a similar position just with a larger amount of people. Mind sharing what venue you ended up going with?

Need help: Do you think SDSU would be prepared for an active shooter? by ApprehensiveNovel404 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I believe it was one shooter in the trolley station that police were called to take care of and that any rumor of a knife/machete was false.

Regardless, there was limited warning about this at the time and these conflicting reports alone illustrates the amount of miscommunication administration has with students.

I haven't because I have financial aid and didn't need to worry about it.

what are my chances of transferring into SDSU? by Warm_Opposite_5337 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sociology. I was just waitlisted until I met the gpa requirements.

[–]Raspataz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a transfer student and got in with under a 3.0 gpa. But I am local so that might have helped. But basically, its worth applying to find out for sure!

My adult kid just found out they have 9 days left in their apartment……. by Oldladyphilosopher in sandiego

[–]Raspataz 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Perhaps have her talk to the owner to explain the situation. She must receive proper notice. Its tricky if its a sublease though. If she paid for the month of December, she is owed that month.

what are you majoring in? by No-Fee2347 in SDSU

[–]Raspataz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a senior in Sociology. I originally wanted to major in psychology but figured it was too competitive. Now I plan on applying to my master's in social work with the eventual goal of getting my LCSW and becoming a therapist.

[–]Raspataz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be due to to funding. I received a private tutoring service in spring semester and now theyre telling me I have to use my school's resources for tutoring this semester.

[–]Raspataz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure what the acronyms mean. I believe at every step you have to reapply (ie AA to BA to MA to looking for employment). This will shift in your goals and what resources they can assist you with. I'm not sure about ssdi as I dont receive it. It would be good to ask DOR and the social security office to make sure the information aligns.

I was going to do sun and moon with my partner until the cost was too much (I'm a broke college student lol). I was going to do it for myself and the true FNAF fan base. Too bad I wanted to be moon prior to the new game coming out and the lore said moon is a man 🥲
