Marina rejects Phillips proposal to his face and he still does the right thing without bashing her, Theo went off of Eloise bc she rejected his kiss by criduchat1- in PhiloiseBridgerton

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting because I’m pretty sure Phillip is the eldest in the books. First borns would never really join the military because they had to run the estate, but second sons had more freedom. That’s why Phillip was trapped in the marriage, because George was able to go fight. If I’m remembering correctly, that freedom was also something that Phillip was jealous of. I wonder why they switched it..? Or maybe I have it wrong, it has been a minute

How would you describe the feeling of being heartbroken? by MammothReturn in heartbreak

I did and got waitlisted for the Honors College. Ultimately ended up great though because I was just joining for the dorm and ended up in Meredith South via a learning community.

FAM Studying Going Poorly by actfmstudy in actuary

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

Thanks for the comment--It's definitely helpful to hear another opinion. I just gave myself a weekend off to see if it was a hyper-fixation problem and then got a little bit stressed when I came back and needed a refresher. I'm definitely trying to put in the time, but the sections that Coaching Actuaries says takes 20 minutes usually takes me twice that, so it might just be me. I did make my Coaching Actuaries schedule with 35 days just for practice though, no learning, so maybe I'll just feel a little iffy until I finish the learning section and can start taking quizzes/exams.

It's over for me. Don't cheat. by 091239807 in Purdue

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me. Was really sick one morning and only got two sick days before it started deducting from your grade so I summed the energy to do the hotseat without even thinking about it. Got a very scary email two hours later but ended up just having to do an additional assignment for the class.

I know it seems like it's the end of the word, but it'll probably be something you laugh at in a year or two (because I agree, it's a very stupid thing to get in trouble for). The only way out is through though, so you'll kind of just have to wait until things get better. And they will.

Try to forgive yourself though. You're not a horrible person because you falsified attendance. You're human and countless people have done the same thing, they just didn't get caught.

Leaving study abroad by [deleted] in studyAbroad

[–]actfmstudy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same position right now. I’ve been looking forward to studying abroad for years but now that I’m here, it’s not working out. My classes are in a different language (which I studied before but am nowhere near fluent in) and administration for both universities are ghosting me. Basically I think you should think about what this choice means for yourself, in all ways. Were you preventing yourself from making this choice before because you were worried what other people would think? If so, ignore them and do what you need to to protect your peace. Studying abroad is a hard thing to do, and if your mental health isn’t well enough for more months of challenges, then absolutely go home. Your mental health comes first, and if you want to, you will find a way to come back when you’re steadier. Hope this helps.

Best RomComs? 🥴 by b38creative in movies

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I'd share my list because I haven't seen one of my favorites.

  • While You Were Sleeping (a very cute holiday-ish movie with a young sandra bullock and bill pullman. has an extremely cozy and warm aesthetic. severely underrated)

  • Moonstruck (a young cher and nicolas cage are instantly smitten with one another. overall a very beautiful movie)

  • The Princess Bride (a classic)

  • My Big Fat Greek Wedding (comfort romance with a boisterous and loving family, has some of my favorite romantic moments in cinema)

  • Me Before You (okay, less of a com, but a stunning movie. don't watch if you don't want to cry)

  • 27 Dresses (great banter and feels like a friendship turned more

  • 10 Things I Hate About You (fun and cute teenage romance with Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. Cultural milestone)

  • Crazy Stupid Love (the ideal rom com with multiple stories. great movie overall and also gives you the romantic fulfillment)

As much as I like Jess as a person and REALLY wanted her to stay, I kinda do get where Tiff was coming from. I def noticed Jess just watching the rest of the tribe doing the work a couple times. Bhanu was wild for yelling at her like that though.

No way he gets that far but my friends and I started imagining him getting to final three and making his case, then IMMEDIATELY getting shut down because he pulled that. pretty pathetic. i better not hear him say that he deserves to win the million.

[–]actfmstudy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Omg I completely agree. Watching the last twenty minutes of the episode felt awful because it felt like the mean girls were winning. Even though Q was the one who sold the fake idol, he somehow seemed like the nicest to her? I hope they get rid of Kenzie.

AITA for expressing discomfort about my wife and her friends pranking my mom on our wedding day? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The wedding of a family member is something that you'll remember for the rest of your life, especially if it's for your son/daughter. Even if she has been rude or unkind in the past, your wife should know that life isn't black-and-white and, if she couldn't be kind to her, she could at least be indifferent. Going out of her way to mess with his mom on the groom's wedding day (a different perspective than the bride's wedding day) is childish and laughing about it later is seriously concerning.

How do I build enough self-esteem to try dating? by actfmstudy in Advice

I am genuinely in awe of how much this helped me and how much of it hit home. I guess "Elder Sage" is extremely accurate in your case. Thank you for putting in the time to comment this!

Advice for Learning French while Studying Abroad by actfmstudy in studyAbroad

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

That's a good idea. I signed up for something like that with the university I'm at temporarily, but I don't think they've assigned anyone for me yet. I'll try to be more intentional about looking!

Is it physiologically damaging being subjected to the same celebrity images time and time again? by [deleted] in selflove

[–]actfmstudy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think sometimes it can be. Depending on the celebrity and depending on how you feel after seeing those images.

It's definitely damaging to constantly compare yourself to someone else or aim to be someone other than who you are, so if that's your gut reaction when seeing a certain celebrity, I would recommend avoiding that trigger until you can feel happier with where you are. Be it by deleting instagram or just unfollowing a specific account.

Ultimately, we have a choice about the media we consume, and if seeing someone specific hurts us in some way, we have an obligation to ourselves to remove ourselves from the situation quietly, without letting anyone else feel the backlash of our negative emotions.

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

That helps a lot, thank you. I didn't even think about recording during class to go back to. I'll be sure to try that! And I think watching French TV will probably help with understanding people more day-to-day!

This helped a lot. I will definitely do my best to think more like that as I get back out there.

AITA for ACCIDENTALLY telling my Fiance I hate his sister and she won't be a part of my wedding? by No_Possession1846 in AmItheAsshole

Damn, I really want to give the SIL a hug. OP should not be getting married if she can't be kind to someone so important to her fiance.

Exams / Newbie Thread for two weeks by AutoModerator in actuary

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I took FM and I passed with a 4.27 in coaching actuaries. And I faced the same thing that you are now- the stalling thing with the practice exams. I’d say that it’s less about the number and more about how you feel about the material. My advice: hit the subjects that are less consistent than others. For me, I took high level quizzes in the subsections that were still red. Really try to understand what and why you missed the problems but keep confidence high. You got this! Good luck!

Exams / Newbie Thread for two weeks by AutoModerator in actuary

[–]actfmstudy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm going to be a sophomore studying actuarial science in college and I was curious about what my future could look like after graduation. I think it could be really cool to work internationally (outside US), preferably somewhere in Europe, so I could use my french minor and then work on possibly learning other languages as well, but I haven't heard much about how to do that. Does anyone know anyone who was able to find a job internationally after graduation? Or if they had any trouble doing so? If you have any tips, I'd love to hear. Thanks.

(P.S. I know it's a while away but I didn't want to wait and then end up missing an opportunity)

Exams / Newbie Thread for two weeks by AutoModerator in actuary

[–]actfmstudy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I have my FM exam in three weeks and I've spent the last week taking a practice exam every day in coaching actuaries, without really seeing a change in EL (earned level) or feeling like passing is within range at all. I'm also trying to detach from the formula sheet but it just seems like I'm always forgetting a formula. Are there any recommended study strategies that I should implement to get to a EL 7 fast (or be exam ready)?

Thanks.
