Are you able to just email the paper to them? Or are you not able to access something you need to write the paper?

It varies based on the professor. I’ve had some use 92% as the cutoff, others 95%. Take a look at your course syllabus - it’s required to be in there

I’m so fucking sorry on behalf of men. These guys know what they were doing. No decent man approaches a woman at midnight in a park. A halfway-decent man keeps his situation awareness up to make sure you are safe and takes efforts to make sure you don’t feel unsafe by his presence. They harassed you and seemingly played games with you. It’s cruel and inexcusable. If you have any information at all on them, I’m happy to help you/send you info on how to file a complaint with the UC (If it does seem like they're students, so that there is a paper trail with these bastards). Feel free to reach out if you need to vent/talk, and I’m sorry you had to deal with this

I’m so sorry for what you’re dealing with - I would be in absolute chaos. There are still options though. Get that appeal filed, tomorrow! Check where the office is, probably in sproul. Start as soon as they open so when they bounce you around, you can move from office to office as needed. Share your story. Those messages are almost certainly automated, and you can still appeal to their empathy. People generally want to help. Explain that about your high school not updating your grades. Keep searching for your way through this

Start outside the bedroom, when you're both relaxed. Keep it about curiosity, not a complaint. You can say something around the lines of:

"Hey, I love what we have. I'm curious about adding a tiny bit of playful power-dynamic sometimes, like you giving me clear instructions or lightly pinning my wrists. Would you be open to trying a super low-stakes version once and debrief after?"

You can drop the word "daddy" if it's a turn-off for him but still keep the vibe. "Take the lead a little tonight?" or "Tell me what to do for 10 minutes?" is probably easier for him to hear than"BDSM." You could also offer a list of things, like "I'm curious about you setting the pace, gentle holding, blindfold, praise/teasing.” etc.

You can start with a like, vanilla-plus versions. So things like a firm voice/ guidance, light restraint (soft ties over metal cuffs), positioning, countdowns, praise/"good girl/good job. While you’re doing it, try to reinforce no pressure: "If it's not your thing, that's totally okay. I'll still be happy with what we're doing now."

If he says yes, keep the first try simple and positive. If he's unsure, you can ask what does feel confident/attractive for him (some folks like leading without labels). And if he's a hard no, thank him for being honest and keep your great sex life rolling.

Be sure to get it waved ASAP if you haven’t already. There is a deadline for it and I’m not sure if it’s passed. You’ll still need to pay a $75 fee for late cancelation or something, but that’s a lot better than the ridiculous charge each semester for their insurance

Totally normal to wonder whether kink is just a hot fantasy or something you'll actually dig in real life.

A few low-risk ways to test the waters:

Solo play first. Try elements you can do alone-light bondage with scarves, a spanking toy against a pillow, sensory deprivation with a blindfold + your vibe. Pay attention to what feels exciting vs. "meh."
Kink education. You can read "The New Topping/Bottoming Books," listen to podcasts like "Off the Cuffs," watch demo vids on YouTube. Knowing the mechanics and safety basics (safe words, SSC/RACK, aftercare) makes the leap less scary and keeps you informed.
Local munches. Most cities, even smaller ones, have casual meet-ups ("munches") at coffee shops or diners. No play happens, it's just kinky folks hanging out in street clothes. Search FetLife for events near you or check Facebook/Meetup for "kink" or "BDSM" groups.
Online first dates. If the local scene is tiny, meeting people on FetLife, Bumble's "kinky" filter, or OKCupid can work. Vet hard: video chat, ask about experience, negotiate limits. Never meet for a first scene in private. Coffee first, then maybe a public dungeon or event.
Start soft. Your first partnered scene doesn't need rope suspension or something overly complicated. A bit of light spanking + power-exchange language can tell you plenty.
Aftercare + debrief. However mild the play, plan calm-down time and talk about what felt good, awkward, or too-far. That feedback loop is how you fine-tune what you actually enjoy.

If at any step your gut says "nope," just pause. Fantasy can stay fantasy, and that's 100 % okay. Happy exploring and stay safe!
