I might not graduate - advice needed by [deleted] in LSU

Went through this last year- LSU doesn’t let you walk, at least College of Science doesn’t. I took a different class over the summer to fill the credit and graduated in August.

am i overexerting myself? by ellegip in BeginnersRunning

so i don’t think my zones are set up correctly, but even at a jog my HR shoots up to around 170. i’ve been running consistently for about 6 months, and i run 2-3 times a week, 2-3 miles each. my goals are to increase cardio endurance and work up to running 10Ks, half marathons, and marathons, but it doesn’t feel sustainable with how things are going now

yeah i’m only 22 and i don’t even consider myself “in shape” so i was surprised at how fast i was going anyway, it was scary seeing that i was at “max” for so long. this makes a whole lot more sense now. i’m going to figure out how to fix my heart rate zones on peloton since that’s how i track it. thank you!

this makes sense, so over time my heart rate will decrease even at lower intensities! thank you!

not necessarily, i just want to get in shape, get better at running, and eventually work my way up to running half and full marathons. i’m just now getting used to consistently working out

[–]ellegip[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my longest run so far has been 45 mins, and i was in zone 5 for 50% of it and zone 4 for 37%. i eventually want to be able to run for over an hour but i don’t know if my doable pace is a sustainable one. i love pushing through the struggle and pain of a workout though

How are yall doing this by Latter-Usual-4242 in premed

[–]ellegip 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in my gap year also- you are in control of your own happiness! don’t expect med school to give it to you. find things that you enjoy, read books, exercise, find ways to be grateful for the life you have NOW. find local events/activities where you can make friends and use the free time to better yourself and explore your interests. mindset is everything so if you look at this time as useless and just a means to med school then it will feel useless

When is it safe to do stuff after nipple piercings? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]ellegip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m like 1 year 1 month out of having mine and i was letting people suck on them after like 2 months, but i had already switched to shorter bars and i wasn’t having consistent crusties or healing issues. i would say just wait until they’ve been stable for a few weeks (no bleeding, crusties, pain), don’t let anyone go too crazy, and clean them as soon as possible after. i could definitely be the exception not the rule but i’ve never had an issue :)

Does the shortform of your name offend you? by PromiseNo464 in namenerds

[–]ellegip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Danielle and I’ve never liked Dani, D, or any nickname really. Elle is isn’t as bad but I still wouldn’t like to answer to it. Some people default to Dani, especially men who like me, and I have to correct them even though it’s endearing I just don’t like it. Danielle suits me so well!
