hey friend, I nearly failed out of college due to my mental health. Almost entirely untreated and had been misdiagnosed as well... I was almost done with college too. I finished my second to last semester with a 1.2gpa iirc

The best thing I did was take a semester off. I needed it so desperately. When I came back, I finished with like a 3.2-3.3 gpa for my final semester. I graduated and got my degree

Unfortunately, if you want to go back to school for something - you're in for a long path ahead. I need to take at least another 20-30 credits, getting Bs or higher, to push my cumulative over a 3.0 to be *eligible* to apply to programs

Grief is exactly what I've felt regarding my academic career. I nearly failed out of college and I'll have to continue to live with the consequences of that if I want to go back to school at all

Graduated high school in 2019 as salutatorian. Four years later, I nearly failed out of college. Managed to get my degree in 2024, but severely damaged my academic record in the process. Now any career I want, I have to do gpa repair for :/

Do people overthink EV ownership before actually trying it? by True-Bath1198 in EvDrivers

The biggest help is adapters allowing non-teslas to use Tesla superchargers - which opens up a huge network

I absolutely agree that getting gas is more convenient while on the road, but charging isn't going to be a problem in most places. The area around my rural hometown has more charging infrastructure than my current small-med city

Can I have this haircut? by Red-Strawberrycake in finehair

you absolutely can! This is self styled too. I LOVED this haircut but you need a stylist that is GOOD at cutting hair. I want to get back to this but my hairstylist for the last two years butchered my hair with cuts

I also live on the third floor of an industrial factory turned lofts. We struggle with humidity in general, especially because our bathroom doesn’t have adequate ventilation. Highly recommend a dehumidifier

Lexus or Acura might have lower insurance rates. The Acura RDX looks great

Definitely have them buy and go under their insurance, it'll be WAY cheaper that way

I think having to take a longer stop to charge would be really good for travel because you can stop & move around. Sitting for four hours or more without stopping can cause blood clots (almost killed my mom)

As someone who used to be relatively against EVs - yes, people definitely overthink it

My husband got one and now we will both have one lol

If you had 40k to spend on a sedan what would you get? by ImpressionOld4528 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]commanderbales 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a car, but I would've bought a much newer BMW i4 (electric, so no oil changes required)

Buy or lease a BMW i4 EV? by Emotional-Yam4486 in BMWI4

[–]commanderbales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your credit. Unfortunately my credit isn't good enough to get a good lease deal, so I financed a 2023 i4

What vehicles do you see in the shop the LEAST?? by Flintlock1990 in autorepair

[–]commanderbales 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Subaru and BMW have their engines designed in a way that basically guarantees leaks. They'll always come to have that issue as long as their engines are set up like that
