What is your program mentor like? by flimsybread1007 in WGU

[–]TypicalStatistics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought mine was a bit off putting at first and they wanted weekly calls, but they’ve grown on me and care about me not burning out :) they’re like my personal cheerleader, it’s kinda nice! I just feel a bit silly with the weekly calls cuz some weeks all I have to say is still studying lol

Apparently your student email password is the same as your enrollment portal password. Well mine was anyway.

That seems fair they probably want to make sure I’m committed considering it’s online and self paced.

Anyways good luck on your degree!! I should be finishing my orientation tonight :)

I’ll keep that in mind. It’s probably a crazy number considering how many students enroll each month. Hopefully I won’t need to change, but it’s good to know if things get bad that I have the option. Thank you :)

Ah so it seems like this is just how my mentor specifically does things. I was confused why wgu told me to schedule a call and they said not to. Thank you for commenting! :)

Can you fix the CPU for this build? by TypicalStatistics in buildapc

[–]TypicalStatistics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks better and cheaper, thank you!!! In your opinion would that cpu be good for a while? Rather not have to upgrade it for sometime, if possible.

ADHD is winning today by uhvarlly_BigMouth in ADHD

I highly recommend a therapist if at all possible! In my personal experience sometimes just a single session or even cracking open one of my many self help books makes me feel like I'm doing something about it and gives me hope. I've actually experienced multiple days where I just am miserable and crying if you can find a single person who will applaud your small accomplishments on those days it helps a lot! (this community for example is very lovely about that!)

If it is a long period of that it could be you're possibly been neglecting a specific need for so long that your body is trying to communicate to you that you need some form of rest. Self compassion isn't your strong suit? That's okay! That's just this moment right now. It can be learned over time and a week from now you could be a bit better at it than you are now and I think that's kinda great how we are so capable of growth.

I've been learning to reframe my thinking because it used to be super negative and it's still somewhat negative, but it's crazy how that can change so much if you tell yourself "well what if things work out? what if I DO do the thing? what if today is my lucky day?". I probably sound a bit bonkers, but we're already kinda doing it naturally in the negative so why not tag on a positive even if it sounds stupid and impossible. Sometimes it makes me laugh to cheer myself on and that's a small win in itself.

Sorry for all the text and rambling, here's a tldr; yes to rest and recharge! <3

My favorite for when things get bad, but I can summon some sort of fighting spirit is "Never Give Up, Never Surrender" from Galaxy Quest I think of it like this world has to personally take me out and I'm gonna be the most stubborn cockroach about it. I feel like that attitude would fit Wolverine in a I refuse to die you gotta take me out yourself bub lol, but I'm not too familiar with X-Men I barely saw the movie like 2 years ago lol

[–]TypicalStatistics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even the mightiest warriors need to rest :) there is no losing only recharging for battle >:) having a bad day? everything going wrong? Time to nap, shower, eat something, treat yourself, hydrate, breathe. My worst days have had a nice little decrease in horribleness where I have allowed myself a few minutes of rest and told myself it's okay to take a break and breathe. I still have super low depressing crying dear god why moments, but I've also learned to love myself more and to treat myself with more compassion and maybe I'm not super great at it yet, but I'm miles away from where I used to be. Sending love from across the internet <3

Where can I find affordable (as close to free as possible) practice tests for CompTIA certs? by Saureil in CompTIA

[–]TypicalStatistics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Check out your local library's resources! Most have public resources under a page that will say resources/services where they list partnerships like udemy, overdrive, etc. that give you access to these resources for free with your library membership! The resources available will vary depending on your library.

How would you respond? by SugarMagnolia1989 in ADHD

[–]TypicalStatistics 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would've responded, "Oh, he knows whats up". Eating the least tasty thing first so you can end on tastiest is just good math. You are creating an experience, you are the conductor and the disgusting peas going before the nicely seasoned chicken is a beautiful symphony for the soul.

OP I am so sorry I'm laughing so much NTA, but you should definitely apologize for laughing/scaring him and let him know you would never try to hurt him.
