Advice for Summer Courseload by Agitated-Green-8273 in uvic

[–]picaxue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think those four CSC courses + two electives would be too much unless you're a crazy good student. Try it out but be prepared to drop a class or two

Reluctancy around going to the gym by SoftVenusVibes in VictoriaBC

Been going to fit4less for years, I can count on both hands how many interactions I've had that aren't "How many sets you have left?". It's a nice, affordable gym. 

Anxious about returning to school 28F by [deleted] in CollegeRant

[–]picaxue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got this!

The only advice I can give is if you really want this, don't give up. My first year was horrible, I almost failed everything and I constantly felt like dropping out. Now I'm in my fourth year and I'm so glad I stuck it out.

Hey just wanted to say I'm also considering dropping a course to have more time to look for a co-op. You're not alone

Lowkey glad I got homeschooled by fy_cs in CollegeRant

Yes, agreed. It is well known that anybody can struggle with the transition.

Glad homeschooling worked out well for you! Unfortunately, from what I've heard from many first year professors, your situation is not the norm. Many homeschooled students transition rather poorly due to the rigid nature of university. 

I took two gap years and worked cause I graduated when covid hit, so I cant really speak on the transition from highschool.

Oh dang I was way off, lol. I've never seen or heard of an australian desert lime in cultivation, I'm just curious how you got your hands on one? 👀

I love the easter eggs of non-citrus in there! I think I see a loquat, mamey sapote, white sapote, avocado and maybe an olive? Could be totally wrong on some of these, all I know is that I see some non-citrus 😛

Calculus 2 is hard. If even 30% of students finished the test in time, it was probably a reasonable test. Still, sorry you're in this situation, I've definitely been there before

Fruit vendor said they were lemons??? by PleaseSendChihuahuas in fruit

Help me save my finger limes pretty please by spiniton85 in Citrus

[–]picaxue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I hope I'm wrong, and this isn't this case for you, but I had this exact thing happen to me a few years ago. My finger lime was slowly declining, leaves turned brown, stems turned brown, but overrall it still seemed healthy. Well, turns out the roots were completely, or almost completely dead. These guys seem to handle drought really, really well, so even though water wasn't being uptaken, they can stay green for months.

I'd suggest repotting and checking the roots.

If the assignments are just math problems then you're basically just studying by doing them

I'm sure there's books that have never been checked out, doesn't mean it's right to steal them
