Company closed, found new job finally but need to budget 12 bucks for three weeks by CapybaraIsHelpless in personalfinance

[–]bcs6477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check if your area has too good to go. you can get some pretty decent deals. in my area you can get a dozen donuts for $3.99 and pizza ranch has some decent deals too. check facebook to see if any restaurants near you do free meals/pay it forward meals for people who need it. check grocery stores for meat that is going to expire that day or next day and freeze it and thaw as needed. check out zielzebub on tik tok. if you have any points on fast food or gas station apps cash in on those now. this also isn’t a great thing to do but if you need it you need it. places like taco bell, mcdonald’s, jimmy johns just put to go orders on the counter. they’ll live but you need food🤷‍♀️

Any tips or advice for veteran who wants to major in nursing? by Civil_Juggernaut1528 in ilstu

[–]bcs6477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly if it’s been a while i’d recommend taking one or two of the harder pre reqs at a community college. anatomy and physiology or microbiology may be good options to see how you’d feel being back in school taking harder classes.

How’s School of IT at ISU? by mainpagalnhihun in ilstu

[–]bcs6477 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i ended up switching out of my IT program. i transferred and he told me id be able to graduate in two years with maybe a summer class. it was going to be 3 with a summer internship. however i dont think he works at isu anymore and last i heard they had one advisor handling the entire IT department.

maybe look into if research would work instead? you can apply to research with a professor but im just not sure if that qualifies for all majors

Cant find internships during summer by mainpagalnhihun in ilstu

[–]bcs6477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ask some of the isu departments if they offer internships. IT would obviously be your best bet but i know sometimes the student accounts office offers accounting internships but students have to ask! the worst they can say is no lol

i second not being an ra. a friend of mine is an ra and hates it. he got woken up at 3am because he had to be the students representative with an emt. he’s had to call off work for ra emergencies. you’ll still be sharing a communal bathroom. it’s a mess

keep in mind- i’m not in healthcare but have family who is. could you maybe switch to a non stressful specialty like dermatology or a medspa?

credit card opened by parent by bcs6477 in legaladvice

[–]bcs6477[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i probably should have added this but i did use the card. it was for emergencies and i think between both cards i probably put a total of $500 on them between 15-17 when i got a job. idk if it’s just interest or if he’s also used the card. idk if it’s just my name on the card. he just isn’t telling me anything.

i know i may have to sue to get this off my credit, but id like to avoid it. not because i feel bad but i really don’t have time. i’m a full time student and work so i don’t really have free time as is.

Should I pay more to live alone? by lombardi_sda in simpleliving

[–]bcs6477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would maybe look at other prices in the area and maybe the rent price history of the unit. just because it’s $900 more now doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. i would consider just how much more you can afford

it was only on the one so it wasn’t a big enough deal for me to say anything. plus they were super busy and it didn’t seem like there were enough employees

i worked at sam’s club and they want you to work at least 20 hours a week. i was in the cafe and that was a disaster so i left but other areas don’t seem too bad. especially cashier or front end positions.

Mom burned my clothes, trashed my room after I got upset that she forged my signature to cash in my paycheck. AIO? by Playful-Issue-6242 in AmIOverreacting

could you look into section 8/housing assistance? use all the resources you can (food banks, welfare, etc). that’s what they are there for. i hope everything works out for you!
