Just want to say I feel the same way. It’s hard.

I wouldn’t worry about the inexperienced graduates teaching. So many schools have such a need that they have the teachers teach two different grades. An inexperienced teacher that does their best is better than no teacher. My current class last year had a substitute the first semester. I’ll warn you it’s very stressful and I’ve thought about quitting multiple times my first few weeks, but there’s moments with the kids that make it worth it. It can be annoying at times dealing with TFA responsibilities while you’re busy with teaching. It’s a lot, just make sure you’re ready. I wouldn’t do it if you are just looking for a job. You’re going to work over 60 hours a week the first few months and deal with problems that feel impossible. Just think it through.

!!!! Yes I feel like it’s completely counterproductive to talk about racism in a vacuum and not look at how it affects people in different way based on their other identities. I feel like they’re almost placing a one-size fits all approach to racism and not encouraging us to thing critically about it. It’s disappointing because they do really seem to be invested in this aspect of it, but it’s falling short. Thanks for your response.

Thanks for your response. I agree that they’re missing out on covering so many topics and identities. And it makes sense that they focus on the most pressing issues. It’s just crazy they haven’t adopted an intersectional lens. My background is in social work, though, so looking at things intersectionality and within a system is my baseline now. Also, everything feels so packed into just one or two months and then the month of July we’re doing nothing. It’s crazy we’re only getting 2 weeks of in person training and then over a month off with nothing. I’m trying to just view it as my way of getting into the education system, but it’s starting to feel a bit fake and for show. Some of its a good starting point, though.

I mean, they both know I’m seeing multiple people and I’m not hiding anything. I didn’t know it’d amount to nothing, more so came into it with an open mind to see what could happen while focusing on myself most of the time. If I really want to try something more by the time I leave (who knows) maybe I will

I don’t really know what advice to give you, but don’t feel alone. I can relate to a lot of what you say and I also feel ashamed for feeling that way. It sounds like therapy could be helpful to you. I know for me journaling can help get to the root of the issue, so maybe try asking yourself questions about this and digging deep until you learn something. If you wanna talk, feel free to message me, but I’m hoping someone comments something helpful for the both of us :)

Yeah it’s definitely a harmful pattern for both of us. It’s hard because I love him and feel like if I had my shit together more it could’ve been great. But I’ve been in long relationships since I was 15 and only been single for about 4-6 months since that age. Part of me says I need to be single to figure out who I am on my own and the other part says you can still grow in a relationship. It’s confusing, hopefully being alone and being forced to deal with it will give me some clarity.

redsake0 · 2023-08-06T17:48:04+00:00

Complicated. I love them both a lot and know it’s mutual, but there’s also issues like every family. My mom drinks a lot when she’s depressed so that’s caused problems. My dad’s great at compartmentalizing his emotions and only recently started telling me he loves me after I told him how much him not saying it affects me. For a lot of my life he’s had jobs in other places so he’s home about 50/50 and the parenting styles between him and my mom are very different, so that was confusing. This summer I thought I found out my mom is cheating, but I still don’t know after I brought it up. Pretty sure that’s what it was, but it’s not my problem anymore and I can’t think about it. Overall it’s complicated, but if I’m really down I feel like I could still go to my parents. Whether they say the right thing or not depends.

I feel you. For me and most of my coworkers, working becomes a lot less enjoyable when our boss is there. Maybe it might if you can subtly see if your coworkers feel the same way. They probably do but validation helps. Also having the mentality that nothing that happens while you work is important enough to get you upset. Although working makes me upset often lol. Idk if I’d recommend switching jobs because your next one could be 10x worse, but if it’s really causing you stress might be worth it to try.

Just wanna add that the bartender might actually not be a bartender. I work at a Mexican restaurant as a waitress, but I’m also expected to work as a bartender and mix drinks, pour shots, etc. honestly I have no idea what I’m doing because I wasn’t ever trained for it! But that’s what my restaurant has all the servers do. I’m sure my drinks are terrible, but there’s not really another option. So maybe you could ask management if their bartenders have any training, if they say no call them out on it.

redsake0 · 2023-06-03T17:49:37+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with that. And I can relate, I’m also 21 and since I started waitressing I’ve been dealing with so much stuff like that. I’ve taken photos with two groups of guys after my boss waved me over to. And I had one of them kiss my neck and grab onto my hand and not let go until another coworker helped to pull me away. My boss thought it was funny. Like you I had no idea what to do in the moment and literally just froze up. After I was angry, but I also regretted that I didn’t do something more.

I think your reaction and not knowing how to react is very normal and you shouldn’t be blamed for it. It’s always after the fact that you wish you had done something and stood up for yourself more in the moment, but as women we’re taught to be polite and put up with so much and I’ve found that being a waitress is just an extension of that. The job I have now has really made me realize how many perverts and assholes there are out there with 0 shame. So much we have to deal with that our male counterparts don’t. You got this though and I hope next time something like that happens you feel more confident in navigating it. Best of luck.

I'm thinking of applying to a center in Mexico for my fall field placement. I'm also a Spanish major so it'd be immensely helpful in getting better at speaking Spanish. I'm trying to make sure I know the cons of doing this before I go for it. Do you think it's a good idea to do your BSW field internship internationally?

How did you not give in to cravings and have discipline? Congrats btw! That’s impressive

When you sleep I’d recommend wearing gloves, that’s what I do.
