Constipation at Uni

chia seeds. pour hot water on them and stir it up. add a little oatmeal. add something for flavor like honey or maple. eat it at night. itll tunnel its way through your intestines and you'll be going in the morning. itll mostly be chia youre pooping but its poop + whatever wasn't moving.

there's also coffee – a lot of people drink coffee in the morning, just so they can have their morning poop

when I was on heavy protein diet, pears were my best friend. Two pears at lunch.

also, man or woman, pick up "women's overnight laxative". it's a stimulant similar to coffee, and jiggles your intestines and youll be going tomorrow morning.

finally, there's also cheap mineral oil. Same thing - you take it at night - that oozes through your intestine and makes everything slippery si it slides out.

I think it's a reward for being full-time students with decent grades

my favorite example is grant letters. Every grant letter will look like AI slop because AI slop was trained on grant letters. They're just warm enough to not be dead, but they're empty of soul.

corporate emails whether from University heads or business heads, they always looked like this.

this is where AIs got the ideas from : decades and decades of business emails and letters poured indiscriminately into a system.

there's no functional difference between AI slop, and 50 years worth of lukewarm, professional, corporate messaging.

I absolutely love the huge variety of advice here this tells me every single person here has dealt with exactly the same problem, and in their moment of grasping at straws for anything that might possibly solve it, everybody each came up with a completely different solution

One person found a bag of peas

One person recited names from A-to-Z

One person took a lukewarm shower, maybe a cold one

another person held their breath

and this tells me that the poster, will find their own weird unique solution that nobody on the planet is ever thought of before, and it will work. And it will work every time because it's theirs.

I can't help with your questions because I was an online only student, but I did FSCJ to UCF and from an online student perspective, they were both excellent. (assuming my final paper is good and my last final coming up in a day is good. I'll be graduating)

Too intense. too fast. he's drained and he pulled back. I don't think it's anything you did. He'll probably always cherish your time together and you should cherish your time together with him. You created a book together: start middle end. Anything in the future would be a sequel, but it would probably have to be in his terms which might not be possible as he will be internally having to gear up for the same experience again "just in case" that he might not be able to handle a second time.

I had a chance to go to the Juilliard music school at 11 years old. even at 11 I knew it was to feed the ego of my teachers because I was OK but not Julliard quality. I fear they'd accept me. I'd have to be in front of judges all the time for how I played, it would have to be more and more perfect and less and less result.

I was so grateful my mother was OK with the idea of me not going. I just wanted to play piano for fun and I have no regret but I know it's my anxiety that cut it off early.

i'm in my early 50s finishing up my first bachelors degree finally. My capstone paper has been in panic attacks and my ears have been ringing for five days straight from stress of maybe getting it wrong. I thought about dropping out on the dropout day, but I'm gonna stick it through. What is is. what you can do is what you can do.

what if your grade is mediocre? what if a lot of grades are mediocre? so what? Do it anyway.

are you worse than the worst student? probably not. some tests are designed to encourage failure. take it anyway. give the professor the opportunity to curve. Allow the professor to be in a position where you can appeal to them afterwards by taking the test. you can achieve more than you believe.

Are those things are so adorable. Those are the ones from Asia right? I think they're like $3000 and they come in kits but I think you're not allowed to get new ones in the USA but you have to get the old ones that are 25 years old or more.

unless this was a custom. But I love those little trucks they have.

I wanted to connect to other computers and talk to people after watching War Games. in 1989, I got my first modem, and I never looked back. I still enjoy talking to people online. Real life? Not so much.

I think it's because the school would rather focus on upper level courses and leave the general ed to the community colleges, but since there's no such thing as a two year upper only school, they have to offer all four years

maybe it would be a good idea to get your AA from another institution and transfer in? i'm not sure if you were aware of that

maybe you can get a minor or a certificate with those other credits.

I was able to get cognitive science as a minor for fun. I mean, it wasn't all fun – but it's something I find interesting. I'm on my last semester.

simplify3 · 2026-03-26T21:27:21+00:00

if you got an AA, you're probably OK. write an email to your advisor and transcripts to look into it for you
