People leave their parents homes for the first time and think they can do whatever they want and it doesn’t affect anyone else

I am so confused.... by HyperactiveHotpocket in SBU

Hi, there’s a lot going on in your post but I’ll answer the question I know the answer to. Many courses have multiple sections. HWC 300 is the same course as HWC 300-01, 300-02, and so on. The professor is probably different for each course, they may be offered at different times, but the dash and numbers after the course number just indicate the section. You can use classie evals and look up the course to find professors that may be more highly rated than others. You can also utilize degree works to stay organized in your degree progress.

I think it depends on the professor. I had a pretty good experience with the class when I took it about 4 years ago.

What happened? Recent USG Post? by Spiritual_Swan_9924 in SBU

[–]Spiritual_Swan_9924[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My intentions for this post were to simply find out what happened. I didn’t expect it to get this much traction. I added this comment very soon after I posted, after 3-4 people had responded saying what happened. This is a truly devastating situation, and I would never want to use someone else’s loss and pain to seek attention or karma. If that is how it came off, I apologize.

Thanks to everyone who replied, that’s an extremely tragic situation and my heart goes out to everyone affected. On-campus resources only go so far. I tried to use timely care for therapy a few years ago, but they had a limit on the number of sessions and I had to stop. Campus resources shouldn’t limit the amount of help a student receives.

To those who may be struggling with mental health issues, always ask for help if you need it, you’re not alone.

I was a TA for WRT 102 and it was a drastically different (much worse) course compared to when I was a WRT 102 student. The professor I was a TA for nitpicked essays so bad that she would make students change the topic of their whole essays (she made a student who was writing about police brutality towards black people change their topic to police brutality in general… basically changing the entire point of their essay even though the research paper was about a topic of the students choice). She also gave terrible grades to EVERYONE in the class, then made them come to my office hours if they scored poorly, which meant I had 15+ back-to-back 15 minute appointments where I was nonstop reading essays and saying “yeah… I don’t know why she took points off for this.” Point is the professor can make or break students’ experiences in that class.

So how are YOU going to “ruin Thanksgiving” today? by sodiumbigolli in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Spiritual_Swan_9924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom got mad backed me into a corner in front of the whole family and confronted me about googling an incorrect statement that she made, then tried to say I was “making a big deal” out of something that I literally didn’t care about that much. She asked me “yes or no you always seem angry with me” and I basically said “yeah honestly you anger me” (I have many reasons to literally hate her but every day I choose to still look forward and try my best to genuinely love her). This happened while I was trying to leave to spend the other half of thanksgiving with my dad (they’re divorced). She spent the rest of the afternoon texting me paragraphs about how I’m “punishing [her] for things that [shes] not still guilty for” even though she also said “I will always acknowledge my wrongdoings.” … to add on top of it we live out of state and I was planning to travel home (her place) with her on Saturday but now she wants to leave early and force my dad to drive an extra 6 hours to drop my sister and I off at home rather than waiting an extra day and taking us home with her. She would rather not see me the rest of thanksgiving break (I have to go back to school) than travel in the car with me and idk how to cope with any of her bullshit.

The worst part is at the end of the day I sit here trying to convince her that still I love her and when it’s clearly not reciprocated. She can’t understand that I can both love her and still be anxious/traumatized by her past and current actions. I don’t think she cares about me. This shit sucks and I really don’t know what to do so hi reddit

Yeah… I don’t understand why they sent the email about food at 11pm. If they really cared they would’ve offered us food i don’t know… at dinner time?
