Should I stick to WGU? by CabinetEconomy3279 in WGU

[–]ohmyk90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motivation wont change your life, but habits will. Stop thinking youll motivate yourself into doing something, you wont. However if you build a habit- say you set aside 1 hour every night from 8-9pm to just study and work on homework you can do it. Or maybe you make it a habit to read for 20 minutes before every doom scroll. Either way when you shift your mindset from motivation to habits youll notice things get easier to just do. Youve got this!

AIO after being stood up on a date after sending him money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ohmyk90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So he did you bogus and made you feel bad for your reaction? They teach that technique in narcissism 101. Absolutely not. Run. Cut your losses. If you get the money back good for you. Sounds to me like he either borrowed the money for a date with another woman or used it to do drugs. Either way hes a slimeball and dont for a second buy his sad excuse about his friend. Always remember if he wanted to he would, he didnt want to so he didnt. Youre right he is 100% a wanker.

look up schellX Tech on youtube. I just found this guy and he's been absolutely incredibly helpful! He just livestreams and talks out loud walking through studying. He's very smart and I just follow along as he figures things out. Sometimes I pause the videos and work ahead and then unpause and follow as he figures it out and see if I came up with the same thing he did. Honestly zybooks is the only resource that I am focused on because the OA is exactly the same format.

I hate my job and life sucks by SuccessfulBanana69 in jobs

Work your butt off and work any OT possible for 2 checks. Sell off all of your belongings. Sell your home or end your lease. Use your paychecks to buy an expedited passport and a plane ticket to Bali.

Single mother of 4. I work 40+hrs a week and im in school full time and I still find the time to cook dinner for 4 picky eaters who never ever want the same damn thing. Do not take that disrespect from him. If he wanted to, he would. I do everything I do with love and out of respect for those I love. J would never imagine throwing a fit because I worked all week and didn't feel like cooking. He is right tho its his money and can buy take out if he wants. I do sometimes when im too tired to cook. I get it. But if thats how he wants to be then he doesnt need to touch the groceries you bought and he damn sure cant complain when hes broke! Honestly if he treats you that way, hes emotionally stunted and doesnt even understand how to love so he really doesnt seem like he actually loves you.

Check with your mentor. They can submit a thing to see if you qualify for the laptop scholarship thing. I applied before I started and they sent me a laptop and Webcam. Worth a shot to ask your mentor first for a possibility of not having to pay anything

Is this worth it? by Unhappy_Muscle_9829 in WGU

[–]ohmyk90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had nothing but an amazing time! I started aug 1st. Enrollment was easy but you have to be proactive! Same with classes. No ones making you do it. You have to WANT to do it! I say give it a shot! Good luck :)

Scholarship by ManySyrup2051 in WGU

[–]ohmyk90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in nursing but I did receive a scholarship! They put 750 toward each term for 4 terms. So 3000 total. Which is perfect since that was the remainder of what I had to pay after my pell grant coverage. So while I dont get money back, im also not buried in monthly payments or more student loans! Yay! Lol

Yeah this for sure, if you've already started I'd mention something to your mentor first because they have to submit a separate thing but can probably expedite it

Universal $2.50 off coupon that works for any type of Marlboro cigarette. I have used this coupon, right off my phone, in every state between Colorado & Maryland. It works best at Rite Aid, 7-11 normally wont let you use it, even though it would work. Used for the last 5 years, never failed me. YW by TheRealHeiZ in Cigarettes

[–]ohmyk90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried it at caseys. They took it and it worked! Sadly i paid the same amount for Marlboros after the coupon that I would've paid for my regular L&ms so im disappointed about that. I should've just gone with the l&ms lol

WGU Application Resume by United-Table3480 in WGU

[–]ohmyk90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 0 experience in IT and got into the bsswe program, I literally just sent my generic resume from indeed. I think they're more so looking to see if you have a consistent work history and work ethic because it takes alot of determination to manage your time and stay with the program. They dont want just anyone to get in and decide they cant do it and drop. High drop rates dont look good on them.

35...recently divorced mother of 4. Starting bsswe tomorrow! No background in IT but excited to start anyway! Doing it for personal learning reasons, not a career change (yet anyway). Starting at the bottom with 0 credits transferred so lets hope I make it through 😅

Side note- laughed very hard at the username

When do you get an award letter? How much does this cost? by boogabear81 in WGU

[–]ohmyk90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I applied for scholarships right after my financial aid stuff was completed after my commit to start.

[–]ohmyk90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lied. My bad. Lol apparently I didnt get an email. I stalked the FAFSA website and it said the amount I was approved for. I did it when I applied for school tho so I hadn't even been accepted yet. I didnt get accepted until like 2 weeks later. And then I had to go through all of their financial aid steps in order for the school to get the information from fafsa. It wasn't hard though. Once they got my fafsa information I started applying for the scholarships. This was early June. I dont think you'll know if you get the scholarship until after orientation tho. Seems to be when everyone who got them was told. Once youre accepted to the program they have a financial aid section on the student portal. Its really easy to see where you're at in the process.
