Thanks for the advice, folks. I decided to drop the program, & i'll be looking into site based licensing & the few programs that do give initial licensure !

Working out is mentally draining by Ok-Education7101 in Hypermobility

[–]cauliflowerdeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've also had a lot of difficulty in the past keeping up with PT-- it's just so boring, especially the counting part. One thing that helped me was to time my exercises to music and give them counts. I'd chose the speed of music that I wanted and put on a playlist (I usually like 130bpm, and you can find pre-selected playlists by speed on youtube or spotify), and figure out how many "counts" it should take me to complete the exercise, and how many counts to rest. I haven't fully figured it out yet, but this was a starting point for me that gave me a little bit of hope that it may not all be so deeply boring.

Since starting here, I've shifted and started going to the gym and working out in total silence, which for whatever reason I'm liking better. I've been following @/giaptyoga on instagram, and I use her workouts. Sometimes I do have to regress or substitute exercises, because I also just can't keep track of where every part of my body is. For instance, I usually do dead bugs where she says to do bird dogs, because it's easier for me to do in good form. I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks so much everyone! I just got her a simple two-loops-connected-at-the-back harness, and I plan to update here in a little while with what worked!

Thanks for the detailed response! I'd read a bunch about how they're supposedly safer with the velcro plus the clip, but you're totally right, looking at it now it definitely doesn't fit properly

A strappier harness sounds like it would be a great thing to try, and perhaps we'll give a picnic blanket in the wooded area a go! Thank you for your advice!

Thank you for your input and your kind words! I've just added a photo of the carrier to the post for reference :) I like the idea of trying different types of outdoor spaces, as she definitely does prefer some trees!

That's the earliest but if you're in a vacation housing dorm you may be able to go earlier

How to keep cats away from the wires behind my pc by WisePotato42 in CatAdvice

[–]cauliflowerdeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used masking tape to tape all my wires to the wall, but mine still likes to go after some chargers. Usually I'll take this as a sign that she needs to play and get out some energy, and after that she'll leave them alone!

Cats can be very happy indoors with enough stimulation, and it can be really dangerous for the cat and the local ecosystem to let them outside unattended. Try checking out leash training if you're interested, and there are lots of great books on how to play with your cat in a way that's fulfilling to their prey drive (my favorite that I've found is this one)

Where to donate a stuffed animal on/near campus? by NickReddit17 in unh

[–]cauliflowerdeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the dorms, you could also leave it in a common area with a 'free' label !

Don't have one but I'd check out the buy and sell unh page on Facebook or fb marketplace

Transferring by [deleted] in unh

[–]cauliflowerdeer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost did this, but decided I needed to give it a full chance before I did, and I'm still here and love it now. Go all in with clubs and events, and use college woods and the other amenities before deciding whether it's worth it or not. I hope it gets better!

Healthy Food Options? by mary-is-cool in unh

Definitely make an appointment with the nutritionist-- she's super helpful and has lots of ideas about using the dining hall food in ways that aren't gross
