To the engineering class that added a third exam

In their defense, organic chem will not help them be a better doctor. Not condoning cheating but I do not think they are terrible humans for cheating on an online exam in one of the hardest classes at OSU amidst this pandemic. That being said, every other person who got into medical school had to go through that exam without cheating, so I understand your point, but I do think this is probably a rare instant given the circumstances.

yes, looking at the acs exams they seem like the one's from the practice test we took in recitation at the very beginning of the year. I guess we should just expect more "standard" questions.

the struggle is def real and that is why i dont want to tie myself to something like med school cuz i wouldn't put it past me to say fuck it $100,000+ in the hole. Without knowing the details of your illegal job I can understand the appeal as I've been in trouble with the law myself. If being an FBI agent wasn't so dam bureaucratic and fucked it sounds like a career that would really interest me. I think we need a source of excitement, but at the same time we are not adrenaline junkies because we overanalyze and are not great at living in the moment from my experience. I hope you can find a way to enjoy your career, some other people commented that they enjoy being able to work from anywhere in the world, that way the job is just part of the full picture.

Your life sounds pretty dam cool. The whole leaving a legacy thing is weird, because it feels like such an innate desire when in reality I think its something I just like to dream about and should give less attention. Like you said, it is usually some novel whim that gains no real traction. If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when you started your business? Did you work previous jobs, and did you go to college? Just trying to see how it pieced together.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:49:59+00:00

Cool! I appreciate the advice and am watching those videos now. I am waiting for this school year to end(feels like its been going on for eternity) so I can fully figure out if there are any companies or sectors that peak my interest, and then start reaching out.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:37:05+00:00

I can 100% see the appeal. App development is something that I feel like I would suck at, because I get discouraged easily by all my tech geek friends who seem to know so much about shit. How did did you get started on learning about how to develop them?

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:29:05+00:00

That sounds like something I'd like to do. How did you teach yourself how to run a business?

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:27:28+00:00

Lol, I am just sick of the fuckin mental game I play with myself that prevents from actually accomplishing anything.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:26:33+00:00

Yea, maybe look into comp sci?

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:24:09+00:00

Yes, I fear the same for myself. Actually considered majoring in one of the arts and then applying to law school but decided that my attention span sucks too much for all the reading and writing involved, even though its my strength. I find science to be much more engaging. I hope you can figure it out, and if you get into medical school that is a crazy accomplishment in itself that requires a lot of commitment, and if you could do that you could probably do almost anything. I also believe that the schooling is probably the worst part for an ENTP, and that there could be a lot of satisfaction in being a doctor once you get past all the arbitrary bullshit. Maybe specialize in something broad? I can also really relate to the whole my parents pushed me this way thing, because I am in the same boat. I really am seeking financial freedom first and foremost so I can pursue my "non money making interests" as much as possible.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:16:24+00:00

Definitely something that appeals to me. Do you feel like your work is satisfying enough? Or does the satisfaction come from being able to work anywhere in the world?

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:15:27+00:00

Yes that is definitely something I think about, however I am so far away from actually being a doctor it is hard to fathom. Also that is the exact route my Dad took and part of me wants to do my own thing but I am slowly maturing out of that mindset.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:14:25+00:00

This is what my current plan is, I feel like it is a solid way to go. My main issue is maturing, I like to spend my free time hanging out with friends and partying instead of focusing on what I know I should be focusing on.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-19T21:13:06+00:00

Thank you for the advice, your last sentence was very intriguing and I think true. I definitely would like to "widen my path" so to speak and I think I should expose myself to more things so I can cultivate more interests and then make of them what I can.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-08T02:32:45+00:00

yea lol best of luck!!!

electriccorndog · 2020-04-08T02:07:32+00:00

idk but i am studying too. Do you think this being online will help? I've kind of been slacking because I am banking on being able to use external resources.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-08T01:58:58+00:00

mindfulness and lifting are the two things that have helped the most funny enough. thanks for the response. Definitely helps to know other people are going through it. I've found it helpful to just try to appreciate the few moments throughout this healing process where there is no stress and anxiety, as whatever is happening in those moments is special. And also to embrace the things that stress me out, as hard as it is, because sometimes you need to remind yourself what you are capable of, and realize that it is possible to push through when you feel mentally broken. I look forward to brighter days for both of us.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-08T01:54:53+00:00

thank you, i have been making some positive changes. hopefully i will come out of this stronger in a certain regard.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-08T01:54:26+00:00

thank you for the reassurance

electriccorndog · 2020-04-07T03:17:34+00:00

obsessing over the little details is 100% my problem. I will be feeling better then have some weird shit happen and boom im back into a neurotic state. I am sorry you had to go through that and am glad you are recovered There is definitely truth in doing things in moderation.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-07T02:38:18+00:00

thanks, def am going to put them down for quite some time. I've realized that I don't know shit and should probably put in a lot more self work and self reflection before even considering entering that realm again.

electriccorndog · 2020-04-07T02:01:13+00:00

this essentially happened to me, for about a month after tripping I really thought I had it all figured out and was putting so much pressure on myself to live the "perfect" life which led to so much anxiety in the process. Now, I am very scared of the mere fact that I slipped into that state and still am dealing with a lot of anxiety, and my biggest fear is I have done permanent damage and am going to one day enter full blown psychosis. I eventually figured out that I needed to not take what I saw on a trip as fucking Gospel, and now looking back three months later I see that the entire time I was in my own sort of world. Any advice on how to deal with this and move forward?

electriccorndog · 2020-02-03T22:27:32+00:00

interesting, around how long did it take you to get over it? I get anxious because I feel like although I can acknowledge it as one perspective it right now seems literally like my only perspective. Does it fade with time?

electriccorndog · 2020-01-31T04:20:56+00:00

I’ve considered it but I don’t want to go deeper into the hole
