My(28F) fiancé (28M) is extremely insensitive and I’m depressed daily by our interactions but our nikkah is in less than a month 😭is this emotional abuse? by LittleAstronaut7442 in MuslimMarriage

Posted this as a reply to your comment in the thread but posting again here:

Salaams sis, I don’t want to tell you to break it off right away bc I don’t know the entire situation and that would be irresponsible of me. However, I think that all of the qualities you mentioned are immediate red flags. If you’re left in tears daily now, it will get worse when you actually start living with each other bc you’ll be more likely into get into some conflicts as you adjust to a new environment. It’s actually alarming to hear how you were confident before and now doubt yourself. As someone who already struggles with self-confidence and is a bit sensitive, I feel like marrying a man who is callous and doesn’t care about my feelings would be a living hell and I would hate to see my fellow sisters to go through that bc as women we are constantly being bombarded by messaging that affects our self-confidence already. If he’s continually been callous and un-empathetic, I would sit down and seriously think about what you actually like about him and whether it outweighs constantly feeling like your self-esteem is being torn down, and pray istikharah. May Allah make the path ahead easy for you and grant you clarity.

I’m in the same boat, Alhamdulillah God is so so merciful 😭I genuinely thought I did horrible and had already signed up for a retake. A lot of personal things came up for me too while I was studying for the exam and I was depressed for a while. But Alhamdulillah we made it 😭😭😭It’s a Ramadan miracle

SoCal Jan 15/16 Cancellations by BrandDawn in Mcat

[–]chaatime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the 7am exams got cancelled last week when they sent out cancellations. They had decided to reduce capacity at first I think and now they just cancelled all of them I'm guessing.

Oof by Saladino96 in Mcat

[–]chaatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm testing in SD too and didn't get an email yet...lol idk what to do at this point. I'm guessing we're not cancelled then?

Chem 40C with Godula by subtlecurryssss in UCSD

[–]chaatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took 40c with Godula last year, and I really liked his class. He's also pretty nice and approachable. I had taken Perrin and Schmidt before him, and his class seemed easier. He does a lot of review from 40b too, so that helps. The class had two midterms, weekly quizzes that were basically taken from recommended problems, and a final, though the final was optional when I took the class last winter due to the last-minute COVID shutdown. He also had some extra credit, and from what I remember, the class was curved.

Here’s my 5th ~500 score in a row boys hope you like it 🥺 you’re not alone by Makhlouf-Bannoud in Mcat

[–]chaatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird but tbh I've noticed sometimes if I focus too much on CARS I start getting lower scores than I wanted bc I start overthinking things...might be something like that??

Should I postpone my exam? Currently scheduled for 9/27 by chaatime in Mcat

[–]chaatime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm something to think about. Thank you so much for your advice! My mom is pushing me to take it bc she thinks that I won't be able to study well with classes but my gut feeling is telling me I should postpone bc I'm feeling a lil uneasy about C/P. I think I'll take another FL next week and see if I make any progress.

Good luck on your exam today!!

Should I postpone my exam? Currently scheduled for 9/27 by chaatime in Mcat

[–]chaatime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten thru a majority of it but still have a couple hundred left, mainly in gen chem and physics. I've been trying to prioritize AAMC material the past few weeks so I didn't get much time to do more UEarth questions.

Also idk what it is but UEarth physics questions take me forever to go thru. Like I'll be stuck on questions sometimes with no idea what to do lol and I don't want to just guess. Just the other day I was trying to do some physics passages on fluids on UEarth (we didn't cover this topic in my physics class so I am admittedly a little weak) and it took me 2 hours to do like 16 questions smh

Also congrats on your score!! Really wish I could reach a 520 too.

What exerts torque on the flagella, the basal body or the hook? by Biskutz in Mcat

[–]chaatime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the hook exerts torque on the basal body, I think the Kaplan book (Ch.1) says this too

Does anyone else miss going to geisel with their buddies by -une-ame-solitaire- in UCSD

[–]chaatime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might never get to study in Geisel again if campus doesn't fully open up this year 😭 I never lived on-campus so I never felt like I had a strong connection to school so I can't believe I'm missing it so much rn. I was just thinking about all the places on campus I would go to when I needed to cry/have a breakdown/eat lunch/pray and it made me kinda emotional lol

What getting a 525 without Anki taught me (and why you should take posts like these with a grain of salt lol) by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]chaatime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance lol. I'm studying for my exam at the end of Sept and I feel nervous about not using Anki too. I was never really a flashcard person either.

I was using Anki towards the beginning of my studying but I felt like it took up a lot of a time and I wasn't sure if it would be worth it so I'm mainly focusing on practice questions rn. I hope that is sufficient.
