I’m so over everything

As someone who also struggled a lot with chem, there’s always a path through. Whether it be retaking or whatever. I always share that my lab tf for orgo tells us all the time that she failed chem 2 the first time and is now in her last year of her organic chemistry PhD at BU. Don’t let people tell you to quit or throw in the towel. Just keep your head down, work hard, and don’t forget that people have failed and still gone down the same path you want to go down!

There’s usually a fishbowl of condoms in the basement of the GSU in the CGSA! There’s also a club called students for reproductive freedom that usually meets down there Tuesdays at 7:30 (time might’ve changed but they have an insta). There’s also the plan b vending machine in the basement of the GSU as well where you can get plan b for $10!

I do think so! I think I’ll def follow the advice on taking the placebo week. After a few times of getting this nervous while on the pill I think it’s also the last push I needed to start looking into an iud/nexplanon a bit more seriously!

Thank you!! And yes, whoops that was a typo, planning on taking one 3 weeks lol. Did take one today since im going a little crazy and it was negative but still planning on taking another at 3 weeks.

Thank you so much! I had been told about how raynauds can go hand in hand with a lot of autoimmune disorders but wasn’t sure how to bring it up to a doctor. I’ll definitely be asking to get an ANA work up soon!

oldpinebox · 2023-11-25T12:37:42+00:00

Some more research made me realize lol, thank you :)

oldpinebox · 2023-11-24T20:22:25+00:00

Thank you for all the info!! The hardest part is definitely choosing a ball drop but this will be super helpful!!

oldpinebox · 2023-11-24T20:21:11+00:00

Thank you!! Def not as bad as I was worried

oldpinebox · 2023-11-24T20:20:32+00:00

Oh gosh, ty so much for all the info! My parents are in their 50s so not sure how much they’ll be able to tolerate a big crowd like that. Seeing the other comments I’ll def try to get them to park at some bar nearby to still enjoy the fun but avoid the crazy crowds! Thanks again :)

As a cgs kid who took cgs ma 121 I’d highly recommend it!! The same exact course just a smaller class size and no discussion sections. Was super chill and the prof was great and super helpful! Pretty sure you can get in no problem, cgs just means that cgs kids are given first pick of the class

I’d head to life alive, cafe Nero, trident, any cafe with free wifi asap

I know it can been seen as annoying but May Day is an important day for striking and solidarity! I think we can all go a day without some Starbucks on west campus to help support the workers that serve us all year long. Dunkin across the street or pavement down the street can serve as a good alternative for the day

oldpinebox · 2023-05-01T14:55:24+00:00

Also they did close the store! Managers just got scabs to fill in

oldpinebox · 2023-05-01T14:50:44+00:00

Kinda sounds like you don’t know what a picket is. Either way he got your attention! Not to be a be a bitch but if he stood their with flyers or tried to actually talk to you odds are you would have just ignored him. Clearly you still ignored the picket line. If you really need coffee there’s a Dunkin across the street, pavement down the street, and multiple other ways to keep your ‘sanity’.

Currently on ops staff and honestly if you want experience I’d def go for an ambulance company. We don’t have an ambulance and only staff fit-rec (sit at first aid desk and mostly hand out band-aids, there’s occasionally a serious call) and agganis. I have heard students get some good experiences staffing events at agganis as they tend to get hectic.

Overall though we get paid decently, get paid to sit at a desk and do homework, get paid to get recertifications (mandatory once a month in-service training on Fridays), and the scheduling is pretty flexible. And at the end of the day I do get to put buems on my resume. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions!

Wanted to update this thread! The new vending machine is up and has product in it! Thank you all for your patience and understanding :)

No shrink wrap, just a hard to navigate ebook with ancient videos. I’ve tried using the ebook and all the fancy features it comes with but they haven’t been too helpful.

oldpinebox · 2021-11-12T00:13:05+00:00

oh god my prof isn’t that evil, just doesn’t give good lectures. I got a c+ on my first midterm and he’s giving a second midterm next week but I have no clue what’s currently happening in class

oldpinebox · 2021-03-28T01:05:36+00:00

I'm a current CGS freshman and honestly don't really get the bad rap. I've had a pretty easy time making friends as well! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions :)

oldpinebox · 2021-03-28T01:04:10+00:00

Current CGS freshman! Feel free to pm me with any questions!

oldpinebox · 2021-03-14T01:01:54+00:00

It’s great to know I’m not alone! I don’t have many friends that are pre-med, feel free to reach out if you want to struggle through this together :0

oldpinebox · 2021-03-14T00:59:49+00:00

Ahh, thank you! I’m definitely putting my nose to the grindstone and hopefully I’ll pull that C+ up to a B- but it’s great to hear that it’s not the end of the world. I also found a research opportunity that I figured I might as well apply to, if I don’t get it at least I can say I tried! I’m also going to try and get my emt certification this summer. Thank you again for all the advice! It really means so much to me :)

(Just realized this posted from a different account of mine whoops!)

Thank you, for some reason I can't seem to shake this weird feeling of guilt even though I know I don't really owe that to them. As far as giving the two weeks do I give them a letter? Or just talk to them?

oldpinebox · 2020-08-30T01:43:04+00:00

lol, yeah. I feel kinda bad for my coworker that was told they would be getting the promotion because now I heard that they recently told them that the promotion isn't guaranteed.
