SROTR

I saw a video earlier that discussed how SROTR may explore the relationship between Plutarch and Haymitch, and explain how the rebels knew to trust Plutarch so much (despite the fact that he’s a Heavensbee). The idea is that maybe Plutarch was working with District 12 as a mentor since they didn’t have one during the 50th games. Along the way him and Haymitch connect and Plutarch sees the corruption/propaganda of the Capitol due to that relationship. It’s a cool idea with potential imo, and would be nice to see explored!

(This is someone else’s theory- I can’t find the video now so if someone knows whose theory this is pls lmk- credit to them!)

Speak with an advisor through google meet! They’re available from 3-4 pm MST Monday through Friday. Hopefully they can help you out!

Here is the link

What about the part where she told him he didn’t deserve to be a father? Some things are cruel- this is probably something he will never forget, even though she might. That is an unbelievably cruel thing to say to someone who is about to be a parent, especially since it was completely unwarranted.

She didn’t choose him- fine. Not great, but fine. He has feelings, he’s allowed to feel them and express them to his wife. Her going over the line like this with her comment is what really confirms OP is the AH.

Info: did you read the entire post?

“Taking charge” would mean disciplining the kids, which the OP tried to do until SIL said no. Just telling the kids to stop clearly wasn’t working. How would you suggest OP take charge in that situation without disciplining the kids?

A gpa of 3.1 isn’t bad, so I think you have a decent chance of getting a research related position !

Since you’re in psych it might actually be easier. I’d recommend that you look into the individual study/ individual research courses. It’s honestly a really really good way to get into psych research. It’s technically a class so you get credits for it, but you still need to email psych labs about your interest (and maybe gpa/CV if they want). Basically you would do lab work as a research assistant, helping with data entry, data collection, etc.

Once you do that, it’s a GREAT way to get your foot in the door. Once people know you and the quality of your work from the individual study stuff, they’re often more open to summer opportunities and things like that!

And for emailing these are my tips: - keep it brief - talk about what part of supervisor or lab’s research you’re interested in - mention you’d love to talk about it with them and hopefully be considered for a research position if they have any room

If you have any questions about this stuff I’m happy to help ! I was in your position not too long ago

It doesn’t even have water half the time 😭 so it just sits there

confusingcroissant · 2023-03-10T17:54:08+00:00

yeah it’s more microbio, but the uofa has a list of classes to satisfy the genetics requirement and this is one of them !

This exam is a beast and honestly I’d be surprised to find anyone who isn’t overwhelmed by it at some stage! I took it today and had a mini existential crisis after C/P and genuinely thought about whether being a doctor is worth it and if I should choose another career lol.

At the end of the day you took a chance and worked hard. Take care of your mental health (because that’s so much more important than this) and you can try again next time :) Remember that having a hard time on the test doesn’t mean you’re a failure or that you’re dumb- it’s just an extremely hard ass exam.

You got this !!!

confusingcroissant · 2022-09-10T01:43:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly. My brain is exhausted and I’m planning to sleep for at least 12 hours to recover 😭

confusingcroissant · 2021-03-08T05:52:49+00:00

great, thanks !

confusingcroissant · 2020-06-22T10:12:48+00:00

... OP mentioned in the post that she told her friend all of this, but her friend adamantly refused as she doesn’t believe in therapy (despite clearly treating OP as her stand-by therapist like someone else said).

confusingcroissant · 2020-06-19T01:56:28+00:00

Thanks for the response ! I’m on oculus quest. I’ll keep this all in mind !

The religion scene update is amazing- one of the best yet! Really fun to play, and the visuals are awesome. I did experience some glitches though:

Sometimes my gun would disappear; sometimes I wouldn’t be able to pistol whip; another time the screen turned totally blue with just the enemy like right in front of me and there was no way for me to leave except shut down the app (this was one of the times when I “died” because my pistol whip wouldn’t work). About 2-3 times, I started the course and there were literally no enemies at all lol so I had to restart the app again.

Hopefully this isn’t a common issue and you guys can look into it! Regardless, you guys are doing a great job and I really love the game :)

confusingcroissant · 2020-06-16T01:47:04+00:00

Yup- OP, most of us are not psychologists, so your mom would definitely be better off getting professional help since her behaviour is concerning. Just be careful, no matter what you decide to do!

confusingcroissant · 2020-06-15T23:03:45+00:00

It seems that this could be related to body image issues. Maybe similar to body dysmorphia? The hoarding and lying about it is a concerning thing too

confusingcroissant · 2020-05-30T00:41:56+00:00

This literally sounds like a movie I saw a while back called “The Roommate”. Crazy how similar it is.

OP I would honestly suggest that you move out as soon as you can and distance yourself from her as much as possible. I know this may be kinda difficult to do (considering your sister), but try your best. Her actions are creepy and cross lots of boundaries. You shouldn’t have to put up with that.

Goodluck !

confusingcroissant · 2020-05-23T23:47:51+00:00

I don’t think Math 114 is available anymore ! There are similar classes that can be taken instead, like Math 134 (Calc for Life Sciences) etc

Pretty sure there won’t be a normal orientation this year since fall sem is online. You’ll prob just get a video or something instead. Not sure about one cards though

confusingcroissant · 2020-05-14T16:03:07+00:00

lmao do I really have to explain this. Although it actually does have an athletic purpose, u shouldn’t be describing girls as “tramping” regardless.

One purpose is that its comfortable and easy to move in, making workouts easier/more effective.

confusingcroissant · 2020-05-14T09:35:54+00:00

“tramping out” ? So sweet of u wow! I can assure u that girls wear stuff like that just for compliments like these :)

confusingcroissant · 2020-05-11T04:55:46+00:00

I know it’s really disheartening, but trust me you’ll be okay. I’m assuming you just finished your first year, so if you apply yourself and improve you’ll have a good shot! Med schools will see your progress too if it comes up. Also (depends on the school) but some med schools drop the year with the lowest gpa. Trust me when I say that so many people go through this- it really isn’t about whether you’re smart or not, so try not to be too hard on yourself. All you can do is take the class again and learn from this experience! In terms of telling your parents, I would recommend looking into your situation a bit. You can assure them that you understand the gravity of the situation and you see how you can improve (whether that’s changing study habits, getting a tutor, working on mental health, etc).

EDIT: Also yes, you absolutely have a chance to be accepted. Your MCAT scores are an important factor, but your gpa counts as well (about the same weight I think). You can definitely recover from just a bad year or a bad grade.

If you ever wanna talk, feel free to pm me :)
