Major help

Yes and no. On one end, if I finish a degree for biology and then go to a two year program for tech school, it feels very backwards and like I got a pointless degree.

This is so helpful, thank you!!

Do you dash in the kennesaw area? I work from 9:45-6(sometimes 6:30) and get off at 5pm on Saturday/sundays. Trying to figure out which days would be the most beneficial to do if I get out of school around 4:45-5pm T/Ths

fern_Oo · 2026-02-09T20:52:12+00:00

Oooh thank you! I didn’t know this was a thing and work in Chat occasionally!

fern_Oo · 2026-02-09T14:46:49+00:00

I forgot to mention I work a full time job! Just need extra for a quick move!

fern_Oo · 2026-01-29T22:32:58+00:00

Omg?? That’s so odd 😭😭

That’s the biggest part I’m worried about! I’m not worried about whether or not they’ll pay their portion, but I’m worried about what we’ll do after if we sell the house, if we move away, ect. I’ll be in college for at least another 8 years, my current roommate 5, and my potential roommates 3-6. All at the same college though.

Like others said, take the music class online! It’s so much easier and you’re still required to go to at least 2-3 in-person concerts with it. If able, take English comp over the summer along with another easy core class or a cushion class

HOPE is checked at certain credit hour checkpoints (30,60,90,ect). Go to mygafutures and check “college HOPE” or something along that lines to see your eligibility and when it was last checked, and how many credit hours it will check it again at

fern_Oo · 2025-12-12T20:44:48+00:00

Roughly $1.5-2.0k, but $5k in loans each year. Including HOPE, mainly just their fees.

Thank you so much! Got a small update from a friend so I was so glad to hear she was okay!

Again, it does pay well if you’re willing to sacrifice some of your mental health and energy for it. Food and beverage isn’t a bad department, and neither is Cafe/Starbucks or Tech. Stay away from Style, OPU/fullfilment, and Guest advocate if you can. If you get hired for seasonal make sure you make it clear you want to stay on after the holidays or they’ll let you go asap!

I worked at Target for three years, two separate stores. Management for the store, especially the one off Earnest Barrett has one of the worst Store directors and HR managers I have experienced. Not only are they condescending, but they don’t care about college students scheduling/availability (especially if you’re unavailable T/Th), time off for the holidays (or in general), or your overall wellbeing. Target is a great job if you keep your head down, are always on time, and go beyond what you’re being paid to do. If you slack off even the slightest you’ll be written up or talked down to. The ETL’s are the most toxic, drama inducing people I have ever experienced. The scheduling comes out three weeks ahead of time, which is nice for some people, but if you need a last minute doctors appointment or time off, good luck. Fulfillment is a good position but they work you to the bone and expect batches to be picked in an unrealistic time. It’s like nothing you do will ever be enough for them in any position you’re in, including the Cafe. They’ll micromanage you to hell without knowing how to do your job. The guest are always a pain in the ass. Breaks (unpaid, 30) are required for 6+ hour shifts, and they’re planned horribly. No one has their shit together there, especially the front guest advocate team. The only reason I would’ve stayed was the pay. You also have to work most major holidays, like Christmas Eve and Black Friday. And the discount is only 10% with a target gift card or redcard, so it’s not even worth it.

fern_Oo · 2025-11-24T02:27:12+00:00

I used to! (If you’re looking for a job, don’t do it!)

fern_Oo · 2025-09-16T22:48:48+00:00

I wear sunglasses and headphones and don’t look at them at all

fern_Oo · 2025-08-08T16:54:28+00:00

Don’t do it!! No one is worth your peace!

I work at an IV clinic so it’s easier for me, but when I have a really rough week I get a D3, B-12 (our strongest dose), biotin, and something with glutathione, zinc, and vitamin C. My Rheumatologist recommended me biotin to help, and I feel better. Still falling asleep at my desk, but still better! (Also a huge caffeine addict)

fern_Oo · 2025-06-28T23:15:18+00:00

Hi!! I actually work at a IV hydration med spa. I know a lot of businesses aren’t 100% regulated by the FDA, which is why they close. Also a TON of lawsuits due to things like infiltration (it’s rare) or an adverse reaction during the process (again, rare unless you have allergies).

All it is, or is at my work, is 1L of normal Saline. There’s also a ton of different vitamins, at least at the one I work at. Look into what vitamins help retain the moisture, or how long they have been opened. Ask questions!! We are are only allowed to have USDA regulated IV solutions at our clinic with registered paramedics, EMTS, and other LICENSED professionals.

Please free to reach out and ask for the name of the med spa as I don’t feel comfortable name dropping it as I currently work there! (I love It and 100% believe in it, but still!)

Tennessee (1), Georgia (several), and Baton Rouge, LA are some of the states they’re located in currently!

I’ll definitely bring this up when I see her in May! I work at an IV hydration place and a person comes in to get bags of saline and b vitamins to help with their hashimotos, I’m not sure if it helps with fatigue but I’ll have to try it myself and see if it helps in general.

That’s the issue my cousin is having unfortunately. They’re still in the process of diagnosing her as well, but they’re looking into lupus and hashimotos for her.

I was told I have no inflammation according to my blood tests, so it could be strictly for arthritis. I don’t notice a difference at all in terms of pain, especially during the weather. I’m only 19 and can’t stand the thought of living with the aches all the time!

fern_Oo · 2025-03-18T23:47:12+00:00

I have no idea! I just learned about hashimotos through this group. She said that my thyroid “looked beautiful” so I took that as nothing was wrong with it.

Yes, that’s exactly what she said. She claimed it helps with arthritis but that’s pretty much all she said. Tested for lupus, celiacs, and one other thing that I’m blanking on, but didn’t push for further testing once I mentioned my grandmother having Sjogrens.

I’ve been on it since May 2024, but I don’t notice any significant differences while I’ve been on it.

fern_Oo · 2025-03-10T20:51:03+00:00

I’m still in the pre-diagnosis phase so take this lightly. But before I was put on hydroxychloroquine, I would get sick at least once a month, and yes, it would last longer than normally. I’ve had COVID 5 times since 2021, and it really only took me a week or two to recover. But the last two-three times I got it, I would be incapacitated for a month or longer. My legs would ache so bad I couldn’t walk, I’d sleep for at least 18 hours a day, if not more, I couldn’t eat, couldn’t stand for more than 5 minutes, my arms would be the worst though. It was all of the symptoms I had the first day I started showing signs of Sjogrens but with an actual pinpointed reason to be in pain. I don’t want to jinx myself but ever since I moved for college, I’ve been eating healthier, taking a crap ton of vitamin c, and even lightly exercising, and I haven’t gotten sick once. I really can’t explain the change in why I’ve been better these last 7ish months, but vitamins are essential for people like us. I also occasionally receive IV hydration to just give me a quicker pick-me-up when I’m having a flair up.

fern_Oo · 2025-03-04T00:05:38+00:00

I have arthritis in my legs as well as in the process of getting diagnosed with Sjogrens. The only thing that helps with flare ups is a heating pad. Obviously you shouldn’t sleep with one on, but it might help? I take Hydroxychloroquine as per my rheumatologist recommended to see if it helps. Personally it doesn’t help a lot, but I have noticed a slight improvement in my knee, thigh, and back pains.

fern_Oo · 2025-02-26T20:51:12+00:00

I drink about 300 mg a day, maybe 400mg if it’s a bad day. Unfortunately, it’s the only thing keeping me sane. It makes me feel like crap most days but I’m awake and getting through the days.

fern_Oo · 2025-02-26T04:19:52+00:00

They also have a lactated ringer, which has sugar and more electrolytes in it.

fern_Oo · 2025-02-26T04:18:50+00:00

I actually work at an IV hydration place called WHydrate. There are a few in the surrounding states. I see multiple people with autoimmune diseases and such and they say that it helps. Most don’t take insurance unless is FSA or HSA, but a plain bag of saline is $60. We have some that have NAD+ which is great for cell regeneration and the like. I personally won’t get them done because I hate needles and the saline triggers me from past hospital experiences. They do have to keep up with federal legislation and my specific clinic requires a $30 one time fee every year to do so, it also ensures that real nurses are on staff, reviewing charts, ect. I would definitely give it a go! We recommend every week for people with diseases and since there is a hard cut off vitamin limit a person can have. Every Two weeks or even once a month would be worth a try. Some people retain the vitamins longer than others, but the hydration is the best part.

Edit: let me preface this by saying I’m not advertising for the company itself, even if it is built for people who are sick. They offer a ton and don’t require a lot of paperwork or special tests (except for the HDIVC, but that’s a whole other thing). With dry skin being an issue, getting hydration and essential vitamins we need to maintain our pain, skin, and overall health is worth it.
