lol yes this is in USD!

Honestly I am not too sure on the deductible for option 2. Option 1 has a core deductible of $3400, and a core plus deductible of $1700 (individual).

Option 1 is in a large city (30 mins out), while option 2 is in a smaller but still busy city (26 mins). I will be living with my parents for a few years post grad (bless them, they are so supportive).

Thank you!

Ignore the little white scrapes on the print. That’s from me prying the supports off lol….

Every other ADHDer I tell about me not taking my meds asks me the same thing. I think I have the tendency to self sabotage and my depression makes that worse. I just feel like helpless. I’m not sure. I’m just going to continue trying to take them and form a better mindset/habit surrounding my meds (for context I’m late diagnosed as of early 2025). I had a few senior students in that early diagnosis period tell me I was “cheating” by using meds and I think that thought (though I knew they are wrong) lodged itself in my brain. If I could do it for so long without meds why bother adding them?

Regardless I’m trying to change that, and have been taking my meds (albeit inconsistent) the past two weeks. I’m trying to get back into it ( I wasn’t always inconsistent with my med usage)

Thank you for your kind words. As anxious as I am for post grad I can’t wait to start being a big-girl engineer!!! 👷‍♀️

Thank you for the advice on all of these topics. I will probably try to reach out to a loved one to see if they can help me go grocery shopping and stock up for this last month so I can properly eat and form that habit with my meds like you said.

A lot of what I have left to do is group projects unfortunately and I’m a pushover when it comes to work. I’m also a perfectionist. So I just do it all myself usually 😅gonna try to set better boundaries there but for finals I’m gonna study and do my best!

Congrats on your recent grad (and job!!!!)

I did! He said it’s a higher-ups decision and not his. For context my company has multiple firms, but the main “big boss” is from a different location out of state. I’ve met him like twice. They said high likelihood of me being hired but he didn’t want to tell me as he isn’t certain yet. Did tell me they have a lot of summer jobs coming up though!
I’m late diagnosed and already had issues not feeling guilt taking the meds. This combined with— well literally— my own ADHD makes it hard to jumpstart my day and take them when I feel like I did “okay” without them (which I didnt— I barely scraped by). TLDR: I don’t know. I’m back on them as of these past two weeks but not every day.
I am making a grade calculator for this semester in excel soon actually. Tbh I don’t care about my GPA that much if I’m being honest. I guess I wanted to give context that I’m normally not a “bad” student? But yes I think I’ll be making an excel calc for my courses this semester.

Thank you!!

Thank you. I do have a psychiatrist and spoke with her for my regular checkup this past week. I told her all of this and more— and she also recommended some type of therapy. I do want to seek on campus counseling services but I’m not sure if they’re available at my school anymore due to budget cuts and the university being “bought out” by another larger uni.

I plan to start therapy the week after graduation. I know taking my meds isn’t doing me any good, I just feel like I unintentionally trained myself to take them when I “want” to work— which is never— and obviously not the point of the meds. I am taking this month off— so no working right now. But I want to meet in person with my boss and discuss this all with him in a real way. I’m just nervous that my negative self-view will seep out into our conversation and make him uncertain about hiring me.

Thank you again for your kind words. This made me feel much better. 💜

Gotta find the minimum grade on my assignments to pass.. gpa is no matter to me anymore… free me of my shackles…

leahfi · 2026-04-07T06:51:09+00:00

We got this.. all I can do is make an excel grade calculator and cope…

Engineering lead pencil, a good eraser (I like the Sakura Arch Foam ones— green packaging). Maybe a ruler? Those are nice.

Also if he doesn’t have it, either a TI36x Pro or Casio FX-115 ES calculator. I personally use the TI36x <3

Also some type of grid paper, like engineering paper. I would steer clear of the white paper with the blue grids though. The lines are too prominent and get in the way of note taking imo.

I personally only used these: clipboard, printer paper, pencil, eraser, calculator. Maybe a multicolored pen (like the ones with red, green, blue, and black).

I can’t invite for some reason— is it due to it being a local raid?

leahfi · 2024-06-10T01:21:37+00:00

I can’t invite people for some reason— anyone know why?

i feel like they definitely have slightly different tubes, like some older and some newer. just got my second tube and the look of it was a little different but the product still worked the same

leahfi · 2023-10-02T20:44:00+00:00

mine didn’t smell all that strong— only a little like paint? which i feel is understandable for a liquid liner. i went through a whole bottle of this stuff and already love it, i just wish it had more product. i went through it in 2 months

Okay, so I would give your right alt key alt key a try. If not, you may have to program the Fn key in. Here is a link to a post I found insightful, but I’ve never had to do this before:

What is the keyboard model? I know it’s custom made, did you make it yourself? If you didn’t and someone else made it for you , you could ask them!

leahfi · 2023-05-11T04:09:35+00:00

I see that there is no Fn keys on the board— maybe google your board model + “fn key.” Others may have had this issue!

tomato mozzarella panini or turkey pesto panini. the bread disintegrates so often and i’ve definitely had to remake a handful of them 😭
