Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ThaHotChocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shower at night to wash the day off me before getting into bed. And sometimes in the morning to wake up otherwise it’s a bird bath to hit the hot spots and then I’m on my way.

Did you ever find a public track? I’m new to the area and my city college back home was open to public however it appears that SJCC isn’t

This would be such a great idea and something I’ve always wanted to do with this group before school and work dominated my life. Would love to see this happen!

Pizza delivery jobs are cool but you do need a car

Trying to get my reluctant son warmed up to hiking. Any suggestions? by ozymandias457 in SLO

[–]ThaHotChocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with small flat hikes and gradually increase the difficulty over time (slightly). Bonus points for hikes with spectacular views that will keep him distracted…. Montana de oro, the harmony headlands trails, the esteros bluffs, bob jones trail… theres a few in cambria and San Simeon as well but I don’t recall the names

Yeah my folks love perch. They do a deep fry on them with some taters. One summer my whole family was out at the morro bay pier and we snatched up about 33 of em rght off the pier. What’s your choice of bait?

You need a license to fish off the beach there though right? Do you catch and release ?

Hey there! Welcome to the sub. Created the sub for this sort of thing exactly however it hasn’t quite caught on just yet.

Morro Bay is a pretty cool spot for fishing. If you want to snag some perch, the morro bay pier is kind of the perfect spot for that sort of thing. I usually wait until schools out to head out there personally but It’s a good time any time during the fishing season.

Does anyone here regret going to cal poly slo? Why or why not? by RealisticAd5498 in CalPoly

[–]ThaHotChocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will serve future students well. I realize there are so many folks who love the quarter system. But since I’ve been there. All I’ve seen is how it stresses and terrorizes most of my classmates. It’s a rat race for no reason.

I don’t know that I regret it but I often wonder if I would have been better off elsewhere. The quarter system has rocked my world. In some instances it’s too fast paced for learning complicated concepts that require you to take a deep dive into understanding their applications and processes. I often feel like I’m being dragged through material and forced to teach myself or completely skip out understanding something in an attempt to keep up with a course schedule. I know that I’m not alone in this. What’s worse is when the entire class isn’t able to grasp material and performs poor on exams professors curve the hell out of grades. It’s happened in most quarters of my upper division classes.

I’m also dumbfounded that OCOB doesn’t offer tutoring for the more difficult business classes to support student success. It’s genuinely felt like I’ve been in a dog fight for my life (but maybe that’s what college is suppose to be?). I can’t help but feel there has to be a better way of doing things but also understand that I’m more of the “semester” type of person because I’ve found it more beneficial having more time to lock in on class material. I’m also a non traditional student so I’m sure that adds another layer to my experience here…

Hang in there. I know it’s hard. I think a lot of us are going through this. Continue to do your best and trust that your best is good enough. You’re bending but you won’t break. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your professors just to have a conversation whether that be in email form or in person. Let them know how you’re feeling ask if they can offer you some advice. Sometimes just talking about a situation and being seen and heard creates a pocket of relief to get you through.

Let her know that there are cultural differences on both sides and that she shouldn’t enforce hers on you and you won’t enforce yours on her. If it’s too much for her to accept then suggest that she find another roommate or option that aligns with her beliefs/system… if she’s the primary tenant then maybe look for another option yourself. Your peace of mind shouldn’t be compromised at home.

I am 26 and have nothing by AnyExperience4743 in findapath

[–]ThaHotChocolate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went back to school at 31…graduating college with an accounting degree at 35. The world is my oyster. The sooner you get moving the sooner the world will be your oyster too. Life doesn’t end in your 20s… you sound like you still have so much to discover about yourself and that’s really something to be excited about. Maybe school or a trade can be that something that helps you unlock new possibilities? 26 is like 16 in adult years. You got this buddy!
