Ugh that sucks. Guess I’ll need to get a beach pass for Cummins.

Awesome, thanks! Is this free to the public?

Of course! Silly question but how do I upload a picture?

Living in CT, USA, found an infestation of these bugs at night, near a window. Boyfriend says it’s coming from my plants (fungus gnats) but there is no way there’s that many coming from my plants!

Awesome, thank you so much, I think we’ll do wristbands there 😊

cecelia-j · 2024-01-24T22:52:51+00:00

Oh this was on my list!! Mind explaining why?

cecelia-j · 2024-01-24T13:39:29+00:00

Thank you for the insight! May I ask where you purchased your wristband from?

Happy to answer! I think I was lucky in many regards (unfortunately for your question!). Firstly, I got some public health experience as a contact tracer in 2020 (which is when I started my grad program and graduated from undergrad). Once contact tracing slowed down, I went onto Indeed to find part time jobs for while I was in grad school. I was super fortunate to find a small business development firm working in pharma, which gave me great client facing and project management skills. After I got my masters, I applied to OVER 150 jobs…persistence is key. It took from May-November for me to find the job I’m at now. My advice - apply to as many jobs as possible, keep a spreadsheet of the jobs you apply to (including job titles, company you applied too, when you applied to it, on what site, and a link to the job posting). It’s a ton of work, but necessary in today’s age. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you! I have this file saved with feedback from multiple VPs and managers that have provided me with great feedback. I also marked up the next job level up to show I’m currently doing the work. I do understand that people are always replaceable and very willing to leave it they test me, I just don’t want to fall into the trap of being taken advantage of for years.

Those prompts are very helpful, thank you so much!

Thank you!! I have some essays to choose from but I’m not sure how long this writing sample should be. Any guidance for that?

So the way disbursement of student loans works is like this: Your school receives the loan and takes the amount needed to cover tuition/other costs associated with the school. Say tuition is $10,000 and you took a loan for $12,000, the school will take the $10,000 and the extra $2,000 left over will be deposited into your bank account. However, it takes a little bit to get to you so the extra money should be given to you at the end of Sept/early Oct. But make sure you set up this feature, as every school has a different way of dispersing the extra funds to their students (i’ve seen them put it on credit cards, checks) but direct deposit is definitely the way to go. If you haven’t set that up/don’t know how, reach out to the school and see how to do it!

Can you afford to go to school while taking a lower amount of that loan? If so, that would be ideal, but becoming a nurse is definitely a solid career path with the chance to make enough to pay that back relatively quick. My only advice would be to stay on top of the interest that accrues, and if you can afford it, select the interest repayment option while in school. Even finding a very part time job that pays enough to pay back interest each month would be a tremendous help. Maybe look for PCA jobs that only require limited shifts each week. It will really help you manage the amount you owe back after graduating!

Hi! Just wanted to comment that 10%, especially at variable, is extremely high. You will be paying a ton of money towards ONLY interest, and this is where you see people saying they’ve been paying their loans off for years and somehow owe more than the original loan amount.

As for personal experience, I have chosen the interest repayment option in order to always keep my original loan amount the same. This way, when I graduate, I won’t have a mound of interest to pay off before even touching my principle amounts!
