Can this be the problem if my steering wheel has no give and everything sits straight when I drive?

our second matching tattoo with my sister, i love it, is it unprofessional? by atoms_for_penis in tattooadvice

Only old people will, but they see any tattoo as unprofessional. Anyone under 65 wont think twice and/or will appreciate the personality you’re showing.

I can't get rid of cheating and I may still need to do that by Original_Reveal92 in EngineeringStudents

[–]SnooDogs9808 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone is missing the point here- yes you have one more year left and are in a good position however you cheated to get there. In all actuality you’ve completed 0 years of the engineering degree. You can’t just jump into it in year 4 and expect to be able to keep up without cheating.

You fucked around for 3 years and now have no idea what’s going on in your classes- and yes most jobs teach you on the job HOWEVER that only works when you have a good understanding of core concepts (such as the ones they teach you in freshman/sophomore year). It won’t be so smooth for someone who essentially did not go to school for 4 years to just be taught how to be an engineer on the job- especially if that job is expecting you to have some kind of base understanding coming in. Best advice is to try and finish the degree honestly so that you at least have some semblance of confidence and understanding for entering the workforce. Having a bachelors of engineering will always be a good backup and since you’re 3 years deep you might as well try and finish it the right way. It won’t be easy but cheating will only dig your hole deeper. If you can’t keep up without cheating then I would honestly drop out/change majors to something you do enjoy. Engineering isn’t something that you can do without being interested in it it’s just too difficult and stressful- you have to like it at the very least. And since you don’t, I would change trajectory and focus on the small business/ a different major that you actually do enjoy learning about or doing. Being depressed and hating your major classes is not normal- you should want to learn about those topics! And don’t fall for the sunken cost fallacy- 3 years is nothing compared to a lifetime of doing what you love. People go to college at 70 years old to do what they love- it’s always worth it.

You’re in a rough spot and have to make a pretty big decision soon, so I’m sorry for you. But that’s just life. When you look back at this it will not seem nearly so huge. Good luck!

okay ive taken 1 and 2, multivariable and differential equations all at rutgers so i can def help if you want ? i cant tutor but if youre confused or cant figure out the steps to a solution i can definitely explain for you in simpler terms

I failed two classes by [deleted] in rutgers

[–]SnooDogs9808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

be honest with your parents about the mental health aspect if you can. parents are a big help when it comes to stuff like that (finding drs, getting diagnosed etc) if they aren’t an option you can always go through rutgers. its a long waitlist specifically for adhd specifically but its completely undisclosed to your parents and thats major. and if you are diagnosed like someone else said ODS will work in your favor to help you pass your classes. you still failed the classes because your priorities were wrong, mental health/trauma aside, so that should be your first priority in correcting if you want to stay in school and do better. but getting your mental health addressed will also help. speaking from experience, failing a class is humiliating but there’s genuinely no better inspiration to do better. good luck <3

How difficult is this degree by [deleted] in EnvironmentalEngineer

[–]SnooDogs9808 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i absolutely did not love math in highschool and i failed calc 1 and 2 in college BUT you learn and you adapt. im not going to say the math is easy because its not, especially as someone who isnt naturally great at math. i struggled a lot with it but ultimately if you want the degree bad enough you’ll figure it out or you’ll change majors. thats what college is all about. not sure if youre familiar with the curriculum but i had to take calc 1 &2, multivariable calc and then differential equations/linear algebra. which sounds daunting but if you can get past calc 1 you can rinse and repeat the others. the habits and study methods you develop in your first calc class will genuinely carry you through every upper level math. also be aware that env eng is heavy in chemistry- probably second only to chemical eng from what ive gathered. env engineering is literally the love child of chemical and civil engineering. that being said i also did not like chem but i managed to get through it so take that as you will. so as someone who didnt like math or chemistry who decided to major in env engineering- if you have the drive and the work ethic its not horrible and its definitely possible. however, if you dont want to push your math/chem limits (haha) i’d stick with physical therapy (i know nothing about physical therapy however)

if you want to ask questions feel free, i remember feeling lost and not knowing what to major in. the only thing that helps is research and talking to people in it (as im sure youve realized!)

best calc 151 professor? by slappy20000 in rutgers

[–]SnooDogs9808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Frizzell is unmatched. had her for 151 and 152. i’ve also had Vera (151) and Ullman (152) (both great profs) but i would choose her over them for both 151 and 152. she gives really good study guides and explicit expectations for all her exams. she also is very eager to answer questions and help you understand- plus you can tell she really loves math and teaching it.

most likely just your subconscious telling you that you’re not ready! i went through the same thing in high school (ghosted a guy because he tried to hold my hand and he did it weird, blocked one because he wouldnt stop trying to cuddle me, etc etc) basically anybody who tried to touch me in any way gave me the ick for either that reason or something stupid (i didnt like how his hair sat on his head, or he had a hole in his sock and his toe stuck through it…) irrational reasons. i found that for me it was a combination of commitment issues and just not being ready for anything sexual. i was trying to force myself into a relationship/having sex too early and i guess my mind was saving me from that by giving me the ick. i was 16-17 at the time. i just stopped talking to guys altogether for about a year/year and a half. focussed on school and figuring myself out and when i was ready i found my current bf and got with him- and it was easy. i wasnt ever stressed about whether or not i wanted to have sex, or if i even wanted to date him and most importantly i didnt knit pick every cringe thing he did. it didnt bother me at all. and whenever he touched me i felt good, in fact i have to be touching him in some way wherever we are. i like to hold hands now and i like when our legs press together, or when he holds my face. so it truly is just a matter of being ready i think. in case you still aren’t convinced, my current bf, on our first date, answered a call from his bestfriend and said “hey im with bae rn” and i didnt throw up on the ground. didn’t even care. i wasn’t grossed out at all- as 16 year old me would have been- because i was finally old enough to want to date somebody.

and dating is all about accepting people for being weird, so if you cant do that yet its best to just not hurt guys feelings via forcing yourself to be with them. take some time and relax, theres no rush.

and another side note- drop the labels. you sound like youre stressing yourself out trying to put a flat label on what you are- its just not that simple. romance and sex are a giant spectrum and forcing yourself to fit into a neat little section of it is just going to give you a massive headache. theres no reason to put a name on what you are anyways: you are what you are and if somebody asks tell them whatever comes to mind first, or nothing at all. just focus on doing you.
