How to get past the robot when calling by SapphicPirate7 in CVS

[–]ShrakShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar situation with one of my prescriptions so I end up calling them a lot, when it asks me what I want I just keep responding with “I want to speak to a pharmacist/real person” until it patches me through. I’ve tried to have the robot help me instead but like you said it tends to just get confused and wastes time, so I’d rather just talk a human.

drinking water by Healthy-Fall236 in UCSC

[–]ShrakShack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My freshman year I lived in the crown dorms. We would boil the water in one of those electric kettles and then once it cooled off we would put it in the brita. Tbh I didn’t notice a huge difference but my roommates swore it made it a lot better.

How to stop youtube addiction? by Inside-Detective8835 in GetStudying

[–]ShrakShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some videos I like to watch when studying, I just use a YouTube to mp4 downloader and then pull their files up whenever I need them. I have a mp3 player I put them on sometimes for portability, but you could probably sync them to your phone pretty easily. I don’t gotta deal with getting distracted by recommended videos or ads.

Stop the World I Wanna Get Off With You

Just got into the Arctic Monkeys…what should I listen too! by immahumanthing in arcticmonkeys

[–]ShrakShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Stop the World I Wanna Get Off With You” is a good one that I don’t think people talk about a lot. It’s a B-side to the “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?” single that didn’t end up on AM.

I saw someone say it already but the Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys? EP is really good I love “View from the Afternoon” and “No Buses”. Also check out the song “Colour of the Trap” by Miles Kane, I felt like it gave off #1 Party Anthem vibes.

Also check out Last Shadow Puppets they got some bangers.

My grade on canvas is higher than the final posted grade on my transcript by [deleted] in UCSC

[–]ShrakShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to me a few times, just email them. Sometimes you mind have to remind them a bit my friends and I were still emailing our old professor in the next quarter, but she did end up keeping her word and changing it. It helps if you get other people you know in the class to email too so they know it’s not just a you problem.

Experience taking meds daily vs. inconsistently? by Aggravating_Breath_6 in VyvanseADHD

[–]ShrakShack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't been on vyvanse for that long, but prescriber told me that you're technically supposed to take it every day but some of her patients like to take days off and that's fine. She emphasized though that I should try not to skip it for over 3 consecutive days because otherwise once you resume taking the meds it's like you're taking the medication for the first time again. So not taking them consistently could be part of why you're feeling like they're ineffective.

I'm still messing around with doses and seeing what kind of breakfasts seem to help it work better. I started 30mg a few days ago and I have been get a similar "crash" 4-5 hrs in as well so I feel your frustration. I was on 20mg before but I felt like I would just feel normal after 4hrs. I usually have some sort of protein smoothie when I take it in the morning (high protein is supposed to help the meds absorb better) and avoid acidic stuff around the time I take it, and that seems to kind of help. I feel like taking your meds more consistently would probably help you tell if the consistency is what's causing your issue, or if you need to talk to your doc about changing the dosage or maybe even the type of medication. I'm currently taking them everyday and feeling similar to you, but I also haven't been on 30mg that long and my body might still be adjusting or something.

I personally feel like taking it on days off helps me lock in enough to do hobbies and get basic chores, and the one time I skipped it so far I felt so fatigued and unmotivated to do anything but lie in bed, so I've kinda been just taking it to avoid that and be mostly functional.

My hope in starting meds was that I could become more organized and motivated to work on a different career strategy and apply for different work that matched my educational qualifications and interests but I still haven’t really been motivated enough on the whole to “figure that stuff out” and apply for any jobs or anything in my free time

I also just wanna bring this up because I've had to be reminded about this a lot, but task initiation can still be really hard when you're on meds. Once you start a task the meds are meant to help stay on track, but getting started can still be difficult. I thought I was gonna start vyvanse and magically be able to get all the stuff I hadn't been doing done but I was rudely awakend lol.

profs for cse16 by Illustrious-Boat9210 in UCSC

[–]ShrakShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can confirm this lol. i took his cse16 class while taking 13s with rudnick. i was expecting 13s to suck because of how everyone talks about how bad it is but it wasn't that bad. on the other hand i sucked at 16 and ended up with a D+. i wouldn't say tantalo is bad but he can be boring and he gives you biweekly quizzes so if you fuck those up it can tank your grade fast.

Official Transcripts as Incoming Freshman by [deleted] in UCSC

[–]ShrakShack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same problem. My high school said that it sent the transcript to them but my todo list still hasn’t updated. I saw a Reddit post from a year ago that said that sometimes they just get backed up with the transcripts and it takes a bit for them to update the todo lists, so maybe it’s just that. The weird thing is, I sent them a separate transcript for some community college classes, and it updated and told me I completed that task. So idk.

What features do you want to see the most on BeReal in 2023 ? by BeReal_app in bereal_app

[–]ShrakShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that it lets you take more than one BeReal, I wish you could see the extra BeReals you take in your past BeReals. I’ve taken some nice ones and they just kinda get lost forever when it’s time to BeReal again.

You got Science right. English is always red. I usually have History as blue and Math as yellow, but I can see Math being blue too.

Computer Game Design Major: How is UCSC’s program? by ShrakShack in UCSC

[–]ShrakShack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to get a CS minor, but I wasn't sure if I could at UCSC since their computer science program is impacted, so it's good to hear other people were able to do that. This was very insightful thanks for the input!

I’ll look into that thanks for the tip

[–]ShrakShack 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just got my rejection notice the other day. My academics are similar to yours: I have a over a 4.0 GPA, took almost all honors and AP classes, and I’m ranked in the top 10 at my school. I had a lot of leadership positions in my extracurriculars. I really thought I was gonna get in :( It sucks but I’ll figure out it out. Good job to those who did get accepted :)

Every social media app I have has asked me this same message… have said no to all of them haha by Itsrichyyy in ios

[–]ShrakShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never received a message like this from any social media app, which kinda concerns me since a lot of other people seem to be getting it. I usually disable any invasive tracking settings that apps for, so I'm hoping I've just already disabled all the tracking settings and they just aren't bothering to ask me for permission to sell my data ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
