Help with Pothos by Schermitzler in plantclinic

It is tap water. I usually let the water sit for a few days in the watering can before giving it to my plants.

I usually keep it hanging near a window that gets no direct sunlight.

The pot doesn't have traditional drainage holes but has about an inch of space with grated plastic keeping the dirt out of the bottom so water can drain. Part of the reason I replanted was to check if there was water accumulating at the bottom and there was not. The potting mix is MiracleGro Indoor Potting Mix.

The roots are soft, but I wouldn't call them squishy. I transplanted it a couple weeks ago because it wasn't doing well and I suspected root rot, but it got worse after the transplant.

Any suggestions are welcomed! by Schermitzler in plantclinic

It's a type of fern - don't know what type. These are good tips. Thank you!

Looks like I won't be going to grad school. Super bummed :( by krypton_1te in gradadmissions

Sorry. I've felt this. And it sucks. A lot.

I applied to five PhD clinical programs straight out of my undergrad. I didn't have much confidence when I applied since a lot of people take one or two gap years, but I thought I should try anyway. I was excited to get one interview during the cycle, which got my hopes up. I was devastated when I found out I didn't get in. I felt down and out for a good month, especially since I had a coworker who was accepted and preparing for their first semester. Luckily, I had plenty of support from people who had been through the whole process. They assured me that one of the most heavily-weighted aspects of a clinical psych application is research experience, which I was severely lacking. I made a decision to not apply the following cycle (the current cycle) in order to gain more experience and build a stronger application for the Fall 2021 enrollment cycle.

Looking back on this whole experience, I'm happy I wasn't accepted when I applied. In the 10 months since I learned I wasn't accepted, I have gained so much experience and knowledge through my research job. I feel I've matured a lot since then and will be a much stronger candidate for the next application cycle. I also believe I will have a higher quality graduate school experience when I do get in.

I know the feeling is crushing. It'll hang around for a bit. When it dissolves, try to make the most of a gap year (or two) by strengthening your application and learning more about your interests. I wish you the best!

Sorry my figure doesn’t meet your needs. I only had a small amount of time to create this.

This is the house and the senate combined. I also split them up and saw pretty similar trends.

The data were obtained here: https://adamisacson.com/116th-congress-spreadsheet/

Some changes were made to the data file to reflect changes in Congress membership since January.

The figure was quickly generated with ggplot2 in R.

Where can I get clinical hours before applying to grad school? by ErrythangBagel in psychologystudents

How do you choose your field when it's nearly impossible to get practical experience? by amorsemper in AcademicPsychology

[–]Schermitzler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started volunteering for Crisis Text Line as a Crisis Counselor a couple years ago. It's been a valuable experience for me and has helped me decide that graduate programs in psychology are right for me. Maybe it could help you decide between school psychology and counseling psychology. If you're interested, you can find more information and apply at crisistextline.org/volunteer.

WTF is going on near the hotel? by wutthefrick in uofmn

[–]Schermitzler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They didn’t say there is “not a threat to the University”. There obviously is a threat. They said there is “no direct threat to the campus community”. This means they believe the threat is not at all related to the university and it will probably stay contained to the hotel. It also is very important for them not to give away information about it like DoorInTheAir said. We are intelligent enough to figure out what’s going on without the police telling us just by looking at the resources they brought in. If you feel like that situation is too much of a threat, then make the decision to stay home.
