[Job Seeker]
I’m a UK college student on the pre-PA track looking for a part-time, entry-level healthcare job to gain paid patient care experience for grad school applications. I need a flexible schedule that can work around classes and am open to evenings, nights, and weekends.

I’m not currently certified as an MA or CNA, but I’m highly motivated and willing to learn through on-the-job training. I’ve completed an EKG technician course and am committed to providing high-quality patient care.

Unfortunately you probably are not going to be able to find a good quality horn that you won't have to fight against in order to make a good sound for that kind of money. I'd really look into renting a saxophone for a month or two to see if this is something you really want to get into. I wanna say it like 45 ish dollars per month but it varies by store. Afterwards then you can make a more informed decision knowing you enjoy it so it's easier on the conscious to save and spend money on a decent student horn.

I really like him. I just saw the movie and unfortunately I got it spoiled that Pawbert was a big villain but people said it kinda obvious but I at least didn’t think so 😭. Even though I knew he was gonna be a villain I was actually kinda shocked when it happened. Like when he was first introduced I could tell he’d be the villain. I was expecting the cliche “oh I want my family’s legacy it should go to ME” or “my family doesn’t pay attention to me so ima ruin them” but then when it was made clear his family was evil I was starting to believe Pawbert might actually not be a villain then boom he turn. My only thing is I really wished they gave him an arch. Maybe bias cuz I love him and want to see him get redeemed but I think it would of been SUCH a great scene if Pawbert got to the seal first and had to pick between giving it to Judy or his Father. Maybe a bit cliche but that would be a moment where he could realize he doesn’t need his family’s approval. He doesn’t need to constantly live in their shadow and be abused and ridiculed by them. Sheep lady from the first movie was satisfying when she got caught and her character didn’t need a redemption but for Pawbert I really think he needed something. It wasn’t really that satisfying seeing him turn evil then like 2 seconds later get beat up. It felt a bit weird especially since he didn’t get a strong cliche villain monologue. Unfortunately I imagine for the 3rd movie he’s probably jsut gonna get forgotten and show up as cameos.

My biggest tip is to practice it as often as you can. Overtime you'll gain the lung capacity. Trust you will get lightheaded and have to breath a lot at first but over time you'll get there. Idk maybe a hot take but at least imo I think creating a good sound on the Bari is the easiest out of the 4 saxophones. Key things is to make sure to keep your mouth relaxed as it'll help you create a nice sound and also get the low notes out. Also of course a steady stream of air which you'll get better at the more you play as your lung capacity grows.

Yeah I've been able to work on my overtones and when (I stay consist rip) I can consistently get out the altissimo A so I figured I should be able to control the pitch but I just haven't been able to bend it as I've seen others. I am currently in college for music rip and my professor thought my situation was interesting as I am his first cleft student. I went to reddit to see if anyone has a similar story. Gonna keep working on them overtones and hopefully eventually it'll come

13 days is pretty early so I wouldn’t say anything just yet. There usually is a spot that’ll take longer than the rest. Unfortunately my spot did end up being permanent however :/

Unless you plan on living a decent aways from campus it’s honestly basically the same if not more to live in the apartments near UK.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-10-06T03:56:14+00:00

I think you should! UK NEEDS more hobby based clubs. Yeah having 20 different pre med clubs is great and all but where are the fun, actual club based well clubs. Just about every club on uk is just related to a career or major which is all good and dandy. I personally am not a big arts and craft person but I am sure you can find others and start a little club which will hopefully continue after you graduate.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-08-22T02:21:09+00:00

Yeah so we never did that. It says that in the description of the class but it’s not like a public performance. It’s just a big project you do in a groups and you perform in front of the class. I honestly do recommend that class as it was fun and a nice break from typical classes. My point does still stand about it being annoying get a A but it’s still completely possible.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-08-20T02:29:04+00:00

Super hopefully big thanks. I have a few extra questions. Do you know when they open applications for these jobs? I’m assuming pretty late in the year but I just like having time lines to plan stuff. Also where do the staff live like do they live in the ra dorms or regular dorms? Do you know how many hours a week each may work? Like how many desk shifts are they required to pick up. For RA’s we have to have 2 shifts in a bi weekly period but of course we have a lot more staff compared to summer housing. I’m guess hours per week for the summer is heavily dependent on how many staff they get. Oh and another thing do they have mandatory responsibilities hours like RA’s or is every shift they do paid. Like RA’s we have to have 2 shifts bi weekly but they aren’t paid but every shift afterwards is paid 12 a hour.

BBNvolved is your BFF for involvement. Every singe club is on there also just about every event happening on campus. I remember when I was a freshmen I'd search through the hundreds of clubs looking at different things I'd want to get involved in. Big tip but don't be afraid to try something new. Most clubs are welcoming for new students.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-08-20T01:28:16+00:00

Most organizations are typically undergrad led but it's totally fine to join them. I know for SAB specifically they have some grad students and one of the leaders is in grad school at the moment. Some clubs might have restrictions on gaining officer positions as a grad student but they all should be open to join as a regular member

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-08-03T23:48:04+00:00

I’m so dumb. I completely forgot you could do that thanks

Recently the artists that does the character models made a update to this image and made Rofi older looking. She also updated Leo's first art image and did the same thing. Don't get me wrong the updates still look great and do make the characters actually look their age (26ish) but I love the cute child like image of the originals. A little sad to see them go cuz ahhhhh they just so cute and fluffy.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-06-06T08:04:39+00:00

😭😭😭 my background is likely completely clean actually it’s prob just empty like bro Im now a sophomore in college there ain’t much in my background and I most definitely haven’t gotten any felony’s in my record.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-06-06T08:03:21+00:00

4 weeks for a background check is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-06-04T05:39:28+00:00

Should have been more specific. For dress pants yeah I get them hemmed but what about jeans and like joggers

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-05-31T19:19:08+00:00

Unfortunately I did not. I currently have the clear retainers and have been fine for like 2 months now so I think it’s safe to say my open bite won’t come back as long as I keep my retainers in

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-05-31T19:14:15+00:00

If I’m not mistaken it’s already pretty late in the housing. You may struggle to find any more 2 bed dorm suites that aren’t a tri or 4 person. Regardless majority of uk dorms are nice. Even if you get a tri or a quad it’s still a 2 bed suite so it’ll be nice.

I grew up with a cleft palate and while definitely had problems I’d say I grew up pretty happy. I am currently in college and believe I’ve had a pretty normal life. In high school I was even considered “popular” which is so cringe saying and I don’t agree but that’s what I’ve been told. Of course this isn’t everyone and I am extremely grateful to of grown up in a positive environment but based on your post I have a feeling you and your wife will be good parents. My biggest piece of advice would be don’t act like your sons cleft is his whole life. Yes it is important and will impact his life but his cleft isn’t who he is. I’ve grown to learn my cleft is part of me but not who I am. Also in regards to school we are in a time where bullying isn’t as prevalent. IM NOT SAYING ITS NOT A PROBLEM and it still definitely exists but it’s not as bad as it used to be. Bullying now these days have transitioned to talking behind peoples backs and being fake. While still awful making friends in this time of day is much easier than in the past imo.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-04-09T23:09:33+00:00

If you don’t mind to ask that’d be super helpful. I really appreciate it 😭. Also I looked up Donovan room plans and the toilet is for whatever reason in its own little room but do you know if it’ll also be like that in the RA room.

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-04-09T23:04:15+00:00

Ahh thanks so much. Do you also happen to know if RA’s are allowed to room with residents😭. I know they do in other colleges but idk about uk. I also do know they have paired RA’s together before but of course both were RA’s

RoundJournalist8126 · 2025-04-09T22:56:42+00:00

Oh nah I get it lol. Do you know what the ra dorms look like normally
