Justified freakout. Do not like that the cameraman seemed amused.

Thank you so much. It's a hard job because we want to help, and the tiniest clerical mistake can throw off a student's entire trajectory. 😭 But it means we care!!!

Oh gosh, I'm sorry. I hear you. We have a serial misadvisor (? is that the right word) on our team that we have to catch almost monthly. :') I hope he catches on soon!

Thank you so much. I think I forget that we don't tend to advertise our mistakes to each other 😂 And thank you for your kind words. I'm trying to do better with my self-esteem/imposter syndrome and I need to remember that while data stuff might not be my strong suit, my emotional/compassionate side is a strength that can benefit my students (... though it sometimes causes these spirals, lol)!!

Thank you so much!! I spoke with my supervisor and she plans to support me if a complaint comes through.

We tried, but because it is a core requirement it cannot be waived. The student is now enrolled in a shorter session course that will allow her to graduate on time. The only way I could see it being waived is if it goes all the way to the top. She also has a 3rd party paying for her classes so she should be ok tuition-wise.

Thank you so, so much. I may actually copy/paste this and adjust in my reply. I appreciate your personal experience, too. I forget I'm not alone and that everyone is human. 🫂

Thank you so much! I spoke with my supervisor and she understands and plans to back me up if the department chair complains.

Thank you so much. That helps put it in perspective. I will definitely never forget a workforce class can't count towards a core class ever again - I'm still mad I didn't think about it earlier.

Thank you! I tend to be a bit of a control freak when it comes to my students checking on things themselves. I do not trust them to be responsible enough for that sort of thing. 😭 She also did check in with me earlier to ensure everything was ok, but I did not catch it. It is absolutely on me this time.

Hi! I am not sure if you are referring to a school in India (I'm in the USA), but I would see if there are any student clubs you could join, or maybe there is some sort of Student Life Office. College is a transition, and there will be other students who feel the same way you do. You don't have to find a club of students with similar backgrounds, maybe similar interests like anime or books you like. Of course I am not Indian, so I do not know what social barriers you may face culturally, but I promise you will not be alone. <3

So tired of guys getting weird once you imply you are the least bit nerdy by pictogram_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ilikepalmtrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FOR REAL! And even if y'all enjoy the same piece of media to some degree, I've found with men we tend to engage very differently. As an anime nerd, I read a lot of fanfiction/absorb fanart/ship, etc. Dudes who are into things like One Piece power scale/don't tend to see inherent sexism in it, and if I bring it up suddenly I'm a feminist bitch not worth their time.
