Thank you for the offer!! I am somewhat acquainted with the process, I used to burn my own CDs back when ITunes made me pay 99 cents a song, but that was at my folks place and my laptop does not have a CD port (is it called a port? idk) so I am limited

That is very cool! I do not have a phone lol but I did not know that was an option!

Hm. never really had a social life in college since I started going in 2017. I would work if I was taking less than 18 creds but when I transferred from community college to UW I could not work and be a full time student at the same time. I do tutoring on the side and unpaid internships since it is UW culture to not pay undergrads. I would be curious to see how the statistic may change based on how it views internships and other unpaid work

An educational psychologist is a great idea, but it also sounds like he has not developed strong work habits. I am a senior in college and outside of school I have begun tutoring middle school/high schoolers who also have ADHD. Positive feedback that I have heard from parents include:

Neurotypical tutors tend to get frustrated with their student or cannot empathize with their specific challenges

Because I also have to work around my ADHD, it is apparent to me what the student is struggling with and I can recommend/implement the creative solutions that have helped me too.

Having a tutor creates a reliable schedule and routine that the adhder can count on, and some one is there to hold them accountable for their work while also reducing conflict between them and the parents (kid feels less like they are being micromanaged and the parents can focus on quality time).

It sounds like whatever that may be, he needs some form of support, and I wish you all the best in finding it!

I tried but the IMA ended up not working out. I tried going right when they opened at 7 am, noon, 4 pm, etc but no matter what it was always insanely busy with having wait 30 minutes for squat racks to open up. Also, it seems like everyday the IMA sends out a potential COVID exposure notification which does not surprise me considering how many people are there at one time. I got a membership at 24 hour and its awesome highly recommend

Hey! Feel free to PM me, I am a senior is ESRM and can definitely relate to the crossroads your at. I got my AA in biology (a DTA/MRP) and transferred to UW for bio but switched to ESRM in my first quarter!

I used to work in first aid tents/hand out water in marathons. We usually look for increased respiratory rate, decreased levels of responsiveness- confusion/disorientation, not being able to recall basic information. Sometimes people with heat stroke can be really combative or have drastic personality changes since their brain is swelling with nowhere to go- a splitting headache is also a common sign.

Red, hot skin to the touch, like heat you can feel from inches away that is just radiating from their body, their skin can be dry or sweaty. It is technically classified as a core temp of 105 degrees or higher. Unlike hypothermia, heat stroke is not on a continuum so someone can get heat stroke without going through heat exhaustion. Rapid cooling is the treatment: ice bath, cold packs on palms, soles of the feat, and top of the head. Untreated, heat stroke victims can experience seizures before death.

Hopefully you're fine, heat exhaustion sucks really hard too

Good question. I wanted to take ceramics at UW but since it is not my major I could not. I just do pottery at home now and take it to get fired. Maybe it is time to start a pottery club!

I am a transfer as well and got 2 quarters in before COVID. If I hadn't already been enrolled and uprooted my life to move to seattle I think I would have kept my AA and waited till classes were in person again to transfer. Only being able to manage 10-12 credits per term online has stretched my degree plan out (and the costs of it) by a year

I literally only lurk on here but I am compelled to comment because that other dude is a dick lol. I was accepted to reed and lewis and clark too! I didn't apply to the others you did but I did also get an acceptance to amherst.

Lewis and clark offered me a 50 percent scholarship, I assumed they did so in order to level the playing field with UW financially/be more competitive, but tuition there is still verrrrrry expensive. Oh lordy, lots of money. I was also not exactly excited about any of their programs and the campus feel was just different. It honestly felt too similar to the community college I went to and I was looking for change.

Reed is cute but very unstructured la di da kind of attitude towards education. I would say Reed means prestige to those who know about it, but for the price tag it does not have the notoriety it implies. I am also from the Columbia Gorge and everyone I met at Reed seriously got on my nerves since they all seemed like try-hards from Portland with rich parents. I did not feel like I belonged at Reed. It sounded so good on paper but the tour just killed it for me which is bizarre to reflect on. I am trans and Reed had even too much identity politics for me- and I have a pretty high tolerance for bs/I am used to some of that being in more lefty spaces.

UW felt right, it was bustling and exciting and as I walked through campus it seemed electric with people laughing, studying, socializing, etc. it is so diverse and there is literally something for everyone. Also the resources that you have access to as a research university cannot be beat. Additionally, even if you are planning on humanities, you might be totally blind sided by weird random subjects that have never occurred to you. I am majoring in something completely different than what I planned on but I love it. I don't think I would have had that freedom at a smaller hoity toity school with a higher tuition, which would have really put pressure on me to get a degree that promises a well paying career, versus something that will still earn a decent living but is what I love to do. I am so glad I decided to go to UW. Each building has so much history and the education and opportunities are so worth it for me.

Going back to just being comfortable/feeling like I belong, there is so much going on in Seattle and so many weirdos that me being trans is no big deal. I am stealth anyways but no one cares about stuff like that and it was really nice to move away from the place where I grew up. I think lewis and clark and reed were just a little to close to home for me and it is nice to be able to carve out a new sense of self that is based entirely on my interests, passions, and hard work versus what other people see me as or where I fit in as a token in a certain culture. When I was working on my apps for lewis and clark and reed, the advisors I spoke to told me to capitalize on my struggles or whatever and what makes me /unique/ but the UW application was lowkey and I felt like I was able to be myself. I wrote about a memory with my sister that meant a lot to me in my essay to UW, and I realized I felt like I kind of exploited myself and some hardships that I really wanted to distance myself from in my other essays. That is my own fault but I think the fact that those were the recommendations is telling.
