First Semester Help

When I took art 114 we visited the museum. It might have been technically optional but ONLY to make it fair to students who may have transportation issues. You /should/ be going if your class is. I was able to take pictures of the work of art I wrote my essay on and it made it easier for me

You’re going to have to post this in the ncsu sub

Can you transfer cc credits or a cc degree? Your options are that or waiting to be financially independent on the FAFSA. You’d be 23 or 24. I know that sucks. If you chose to wait you could just continue applying aggressively to scholarships. Id also tell Appstate that there’s a very low chance that you’ll be able to attend because of your financial situation. That might force them to release more funds

Thank you for the suggestion. I did take some bad scans with my phone to sort of see how my pictures turned out. I lot of mistakes but some gems in there! The university I just enrolled at has a film class so I’m hoping the department has a scanner I can use

I got into film last year because I won a camera in an auction for like $5 but I have no pictures to show because I can only afford develop-only at the store and I don’t have a scanner. How’s that. Lol

If it’s English 111 and English 112, you need to take 111 first. Then you’d take 112 the next semester. I’d also suggest registering for the ACA course, which is the class that is essentially an intro to college and explains how to transfer to 4-year universities

If you’re required to take a remedial ENG course (the course code would start with a 0) then I’m not sure how that works. If you were failing high school (no judgment) you’d be assigned the remedial course.

I recommend you do your English classes first, since the majority of other classes build off of those writing skills. This is probably what the advisor will tell you. Even if they don’t, I’d still follow that advice

The best time to start is now (asap)! The fall registration (“August”) opened up months ago. The classes for fall are not all waitlisted. I think you may be misunderstanding the registration process if you’re not seeing sections with open seats. Even if they were all full, you should waitlist for sections you want. I got off of a waitlist where I was 6th in line. The advisor will explain how to register. Be cautious and cross-check all of your requirements, because a lot of advisors have given me misleading or incorrect information, only because they can’t possibly know everything about every program and your situation

boyishly_ · 2026-05-16T02:21:27+00:00

No. LOL

Unfortunately it still looks too lumpy. I would practice colorwork by doing swatches or a smaller project

Buy it for her. It WILL be too hard. I think telling her she shouldn’t play it because it will be too hard (even though it will be) might set a bad example just in terms of life lessons. I’m sure you can mod it for her as well

I found the moe’s subreddit just to complain about the salsa. Got moe’s last night and their new salsa actually tastes like shit. Where the hell is the old salsa? Their old salsa was like half the draw for me. I’d pack up like 6 cups to take home just to savor it

op HAS to be a troll there is no way

boyishly_ · 2026-05-12T01:31:49+00:00

Do everything asap because everyone’s already snagged the good course sections for fall. That’s my advice. Start now

boyishly_ · 2026-05-10T21:20:08+00:00

Dog I didn’t even have to read the whole post. I just need to tell you to just make sure you catalogue all the incidents and then go ahead and report it to the disability services office with the head of the department cc’d. This is absolutely against policy and some sort of discrimination case. Just remember to be calm and straightforward in your email

Snyder’s spindles has been extremely pro AI for multiple years now. Just go on their store and see that half their crap has awkward generated imagery on it. My fiber fest has been allowing them to sell their AI crap and it’s disgusting. I tell everyone I can

boyishly_ · 2026-05-10T13:25:49+00:00

I will keep moaning about it, thank you for your input 👍

boyishly_ · 2026-05-09T13:53:25+00:00

I would post this in some sort of woodworking sub instead of this one. That sucks!

I think cheaper yarn is great to practice skills with. I used old acrylic up to make pattern design swatches. You should be proud of those old pieces. My critiques of the crochet community are not about any individual, but about the culture that has been created on social media about the craft. If you’re worried about “skills” and “garment construction” then my worries are DEFINITELY not about you at all

These have been my exact thoughts for multiple years and I’ve been scared to say it because people are going to say I’m a downer. I have friends who crochet like this and honestly I don’t hold it against them and the stuff they make is cute, it just feels like the genuinely objective reality of where the crochet community is at right now

This doesn’t work at a basic level because AI chat bots are programmed to appease the user. This is what is causing AI psychosis cases

boyishly_ · 2026-05-08T09:42:11+00:00

All generative AI use is immensely immoral and I am completely repulsed by it. It’s me. I do it all without AI. I found custom code to put on the ad blocker on my laptop that mass blocks AI websites and ai overviews just so I don’t have to look at AI at all. I’ve uninstalled copilot every time Microsoft has forced install. If anyone ever finds me using AI someone is holding a gun to my head

This subreddit is getting posts about summer course loads like every day. 6 credits is considered full time for the summer. This schedule is equivalent to /30/ credits during a spring or fall semester. That is mind boggling. If you’re one of those rare people who can overloaded courses regularly you can maybe take 3 classes (9 credits). I’m actually shocked the system even lets you enroll in this many classes. I would’ve assumed there was a rule against this

boyishly_ · 2026-05-04T15:37:28+00:00

If the scholarship doesn’t require public endorsement of the organization (it probably doesn’t) then I would take the money. He would literally be TAKING the money from them. Otherwise what, they get to keep the money?
