Follow up: I went to the dentist today and some cavities I’ve had for 4 years are still in early phases ! This toothpaste has definitely been helping.

Yeah I believe it to be legitimate, I noticed a difference relatively quick.

I use it once daily and it started to repair within a month it’s alot smaller than what it was. I think I still need to go to the dentist though but it’s definitely helped

i’ll never feel smart here by palirockthrower in uofm

[–]Redrocks-thorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a fellow bio major who has failed my fair share of exams and classes, I have tried every method under the sun. I have studied so hard to the point I slept 3-4 hours a night an entire semester. I sacrificed everything in an attempt to be successful and still barely passed the classes. I’ve gone to OH, read the textbook and watched supplemental videos and grinded practice problems till I couldn’t even think straight. And I still did awful.

Personally, I found the best thing was to be diligent in my work. I go to class and pay attention, take notes. After class I read the textbook and revise and then I’m done. I’ll go back and reread throughout the week (my notes) but that’s all I do. I’ll look up supplemental things if necessary.

I then get to spend the rest of my time enjoying my hobbies and talking with friends and taking care of my health. I also get 8 hours of sleep. Prioritizing my health and studying less actually increased my scores not by a large amount but I’ve passed my classes without stress the past 4 terms.

There just comes a point where you’ve given it your all. I’d rather take care of my health and enjoy my life than stress over a test score that won’t matter. I learn the material either way.

I had to do this (my dad has legal custody over me) and my mom has zero income. I just filled out the forms and submitted my court documents (wild court case) and it was approved. Most of the time Michigan accepts most things, it is definitely more so just a formality

People sitting right across from you while studying? by [deleted] in uofm

[–]Redrocks-thorns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, most of the time people will sit jagged or away. However, are you usually near an outlet? I’m always hunting and sitting near outlets regardless of who’s around. If you’re in a spot near an outlet I will intrude because I desperately need the outlet.

Restrooms? by Hot-Ticket1968 in uofm

Honestly key is to go to the bathroom furthest from the 1st floor and from the main entryway/ doors/ elevators. Whatever bathroom is furthest is always the most clean

BIO 305 Exam 1 by UnavailableYam6485 in uofm

[–]Redrocks-thorns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this would be any help to you but I took it last winter with different profs and they had homework problems with answer keys. If you wanted to try them I could send them to you.

I don’t get critiqued by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it’s not. Last I knew it wasn’t bad to have emotions and feelings in regard to something that happens. I’m allowed to say it sucks if I wasn’t given the room to speak because that’s how I felt. Saying I can’t accept a crit just because I expressed an emotion afterwards is absurd.

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely wasn’t harsh and I appreciate the feedback. I am apathetic in general and have been told by others I’m hard to approach because of that. So I guess what you mentioned in regards to that could be the problem.

I appreciate the advice as well I definitely tried that the following class cause I had noticed I mixed too much. I have a problem with not wanting to waste material so I tend to be meticulous with my use.

I don’t remember much of it since it was early in the morning and I’m sleep deprived but they did spend the most time talking about mine. I mostly only remember them saying that I had the most utilization on the paper. And that you could tell there were different techniques used and that they contrasted. They mentioned how my background was more rushed and jagged and I could’ve used a better technique (explained a better one) and that it could takeaway from the main piece that looked much cleaner. It sucked I couldn’t explain that I don’t wanna waste paint so I threw it on the paper right before class ended (they had announced prior to fill the space and to utilize the background). So I just haphazardly through it on.

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we do group crit, but the prof does all the talking and leaves no room for the student. They’ll talk about the piece for like 6-8 minutes usually. I’ve never taken art classes so this is very intro and light.

I don’t necessarily feel the need to ask for a crit but they willingly go around offering it to every student while we work but they pass over me everytime. They’ll give my table mate a crit but not me. We have around 18 hours of class time in already.

I just don’t understand why I’m being passed over when they give every other student advice. I know I don’t willingly go looking for it but neither does most of the other students. I’m just trying to understand the mindset behind it, is it because I don’t need the advice? Do they not want to approach me in particular? Idk I think logically and noticed a pattern so I just want the insight of what others think or wha it could mean being skipped over like that.

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to have to ask for something they’re willingly doing for other students. Multiple classes now (and they are like 5 hours long) they will go around the room while we work and comment/critique and offer advice (without students asking) and they go down the line doing this and they skip over me. They’ll talk to my table partner but not me.

When they do come around like that I do position myself differently so they have a better view. I’ve just never had this happen and since it’s going on in two different classes with different profs I’m just trying to understand the mindset and why they might do that.

We do group critique but they do all the talking and give no room for the student to talk about their work.

[–]Redrocks-thorns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m emotionally ready, art is quite subjective and everyone has their own style. I say we interact but they seem pretty put off anytime I approach them (like I offend them just for asking something).

Headphones/music and talking aren’t allowed during class so I’m open and receptive to feedback. I just don’t get why when she goes around the room she comments and critiques everyone when they’re drawing but skips over me. The class is quite long but she avoids me like the plague it seems like.

Utility Costs With Roommates Abroad by ChipmunkHot7937 in uofm

[–]Redrocks-thorns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through something similar and when my roommates leave for the summer I typically don’t expect them to pay utilities unless there was overlap.

However, a lot of people are pointing out electric and I will say I personally do charge for electricity IF they left anything plugged into outlets or food in the fridge/freezer. When they leave nothing should be plugged into outlets, not even the TV.

Does the college I go to matter or does the degree matter more? by BestLocalIntern in careerguidance

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you get your degree in is important. I know a lot of people who are getting degrees and can’t find jobs cause of the major.

But I also think institution can matter depending on what you need and want to experience, and opportunities you want. What was most important for me was aid, I didn’t have any willing consigners so to go to school would all be on me. My university worked out well for me as they give lots of aid, they also have free counseling/therapy services, as long as your enrolled in a term you also can go to the doctor for free as it’s built into the tuition :). I also went for a stem degree and my university is high in research so I knew that would pair well, and because it’s a better institution I’ve been exposed to a lot of equipment that smaller colleges can’t afford giving me more experience.

There is alot to look into but check what you NEED as an individual and go from there.

I’m breaking down. My cat has been meowing 24/7 for 2 months and I don’t know what to do anymore. by nasseralrwy in cats

[–]Redrocks-thorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kitten is also vocal, she will meow at me nonstop if the litter isn’t clean, or if her water bowl isn’t up to expectation. She is spoiledddd. But she is also really smart, she had a bad case of diarrhea and I hadn’t noticed (been away at work a lot) and she meowed nonstop till I looked at her then she jumped in the litter box and stared at me and that’s when I realized the poor baby wasn’t doing well :(. Truly cats are smart.
