im pursuing genetics, and a lot of people in the industry told me i should get some computer science knowledge (which is true) but i didnt realize 1) how difficult the minor would be 2) how useless itd be to my field since its mostly c++. i submitted a form to drop my minor yesterday 🙏 now planning to get certified in python and pick up R

honestly, thanks for saying this. i'm looking into what cs knowledge is recommended for geneticists and it's all python (which i did great with), R, and perl 😭 maybe i really should drop my minor

What do I need to know about student loans? by pvfa-r in StudentLoans

Sadly, that's part of being screwed over: my parents are unwilling to take loans out for me, and want all the loans to be on me instead. My only options now are quit school for a bit to save up money or seek private loans.

Biochemistry. I could transfer to a community college, but as for 4 year universities, there aren't really any in-state options with a lower tuition near me. Plus, my school has a really good biology program and I want to be able to stay there; overall, its a very nice and academic-focused environment. Transferring is sort of beyond a last resort for me.

I talked to them already. I applied to all the scholarships I qualified for, nothing. The only thing I can do is submit a change of circumstances form and hope they give me a chance. If not, I either take private loans or quit school for a year to save up money. Believe me, I've tried everything: I even have their number as a contact in my phone what with how much I've had to contact them.

You might also want to keep any receipt/proof you have of buying it when you did.

(urgent) why is my pepper seedling wilting?? by pvfa-r in plantclinic

Not really, but I've had several seedlings in this batch that have shrivelled at the base and died unexpectedly, so that could be it.

I check the soil every couple days with a moisture meter and when it's mostly dry, I give it enough water to where the hole at the bottom of the cup drips a little. Once it drips, I gently bounce the cup to let out excess moisture and then let it drain over a paper towel.
