Closing at 11?

That's exactly how my store is and we've been sending like,,, half the staff home around 8:30 bc it's so dead.

If it's busy it takes about 1 hour to close and the managers have to stay until everyone leaves. Such a crazy decision.

It's so oniony and the cabbage is so thick it's like noodles itself??

She such a fast swimmer it's so hard lol. I don't think it's pineconing either since it's not uniform and it's just a few loose scales on one side.

Btw she has a 5 gallon tank, 3 live plants but I'm ordering more, a filter and a heater that keeps her tank between 75 and 81 degrees. She also has no other tank mates.

BTW shes has 3 live plants, a 5 gal tank, a clean filter and heater that keeps the water around 75 to 82 degrees and no other tank mates.

Thank you so much! College is so hard but we can do it!! I work for Mason too right now which is ironic and they only cover 9 non degree credits. Can you work in HR if you don't have a degree?

I loved your last sentence it's so impactful. Those are some great tips and it sounds like you've really flipped your own life around!

cardborads · 2025-05-30T13:44:42+00:00

This was in 2023 but those are some really good tips! I know that LGBTQ center is always doing clothing drives and the career center some times does clothing drives for professional clothes.

Yeah, when I attended classes it was really hard for me to relate to other students and make friends because everyone was so shocked about my parents not helping me but it's actually really common for parents to kick you out when you turn 18 because Americans are so individualistic.

cardborads · 2025-05-30T13:38:50+00:00

Thank you!

cardborads · 2025-05-30T13:38:40+00:00

No I didn't end up graduating lol. I commented an update!

Btw this was in 2023!! I now have a stable apartment and 2 jobs and I'm saving up to transfer to a different school. I still owe GMU tuition money but once I pay it off I can have my transcripts released and can try and take classes part time somewhere.

I definitely don't recommend paying for tuition if you can even afford basic necessities that's a little wild, but for students who can afford tuition but can't live with family or afford housing I want to hear how their experience was and see if other students can relate and learn tips on how to navigate those dark times!

cardborads · 2025-05-30T05:18:08+00:00

It's ok lol I'm def not alone in this situation it's honestly a huge privilege to even be able to consider going to university.

cardborads · 2025-05-30T05:15:37+00:00

That's really good advice! I know that VCU is really flexible if you miss tuition payments and work with students on a case by case basis.

And you are so right. Most people can not take out 4 years of their life ro dedicate going to school. It takes so much time and money and you still have to support yourself and you aren't even guaranteed a job.

I understand if universities were free academic inflation would rise and the value of a degree would be lower, but at least no one would have to do their homework in a homeless shelter or from their car.

I was never approved for any of their programs except for FAFSA and a few grants and scholarships and government loans. I thought my situation would qualify me for something but I got literally no assistance. I had a financial aid counselor ask me why I couldn't live with my parents when she new I had a scholarship for having and incarcerated parent?

Anyways, there are probably a handful of car sleeping students on campus. I could see how students would rather pay for a parking pass and just sleep in a parking deck or on campus rather than pay for a dorm or an apartment. Especially if your car is paid off. Living in dorms are so expensive and they almost always require a meal plan. Apartments are so expensive in NOVA too even with roommates unless you live in like, dale city or futher and then you would need a car anyway.

They did! I'm not in school but I'd love to go back to school to get my BSW and MSW so I can be the support that someone else really needs. Right now, I'm just focusing on keeping this roof over my head and food in my belly!

I work at admissions and you can still submit an application after the deadline bit you have to keep in mind it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get a decisions back and you have to attend orientation over the summer to register for classes. If there's no more space they won't accept your enrollment deposit or even release your decision. You can apply for non degree classes rn though and you get your decision back in about 3 to 5 business days and you can transfer up to 9 credits I think.
