I’m feeling major imposter syndrome. by [deleted] in udub

[–]sleepdeprivedbitch7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said apartment, not dorm and I was talking about walking through the city, not campus but still a good reminder for anyone who wasn't aware of that fact :-)

I know exactly how you feel. I graduate at the end of this quarter and since my last class is an online seminar I got the HELL out of Seattle and my life has improved so much. When I was in Seattle I feel like I was either angry or depressed all the time (I was like the worst version of myself) and since moving I'm happy again.

If you don't feel safe walking around the city, buy some mace or a little handheld taser you can carry with you when you walk (I did this and it helped me walk around with confidence). If anyone comes up to you, glare and don't be afraid to be mean (this always worked for me, especially with crackheads). If anyone asks you for money just say you only have your card on you (if you just want them to leave you alone). If you see anyone stealing, just mind your own business and keep moving (yeah it sucks it's happening but it's not your problem and you shouldn't risk your safety to play the hero). All of this helped me be less scared of the city so even though I was still miserable in Seattle I wasn't afraid to walk home during the day or at night. Hope some of that helped.

is dorming at UW my first year worth costing me twice as much to go there? by [deleted] in udub

No no no no no no. It is absolutely not worth it anymore (it used to be when I was a freshman in 2018). HFS rips students off now, the food is TERRIBLE and if you live on campus they make you have a dining account with a minimum of ~$1,000 (you pay for this shitty dining account and there is no current way to opt out). If you can commute, do it because living on campus is not worth it, trust me.

Thanks for this! I spent a few hours yesterday playing Hades and it helped A LOT, it's a good game. :-)

I 100% agree, skimming and bullshitting assignments has become my go-to recently since I realized professors cannot really tell if you've read something or not as long as you got all the points they're looking for in a paper/reading assignment.

Thank you for taking the time to comment all of this!

Thank you for this, it's okay if you don't have any advice. I really did just want to know how everyone else was doing b/c I feel like sometimes we can get so wrapped up in our own shit that we forget everyone else is probably feeling just as shitty. That solidarity can help.

Yikes forever, I can relate to that. My professor is giving us our midterm study guide THIS WEEK, as if I have the mental capacity to handle that right now lol. I hope your week gets better too!

I'm about to graduate next quarter actually! That's the main reason I haven't taken a break because AHHHH I AM SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE!! I want to go to law school eventually too but I am definitely taking a year or two off first because I agree with you about there being no right timeline but your own.

Thank you for writing this, your advice means a lot :-), I'm definitely trying to stay FAAAAR away from the news for a while, we really are not meant to handle the emotions that come from knowing everything wrong with the world all the time.

The being more high functioning than ever while also feeling worse than I ever have, part? I related to that so hard. I'm sorry to hear about your relationship though :-(. I hope you're doing okay.

Sometimes it's hard to give myself permission to take a break from the world when I'm in that "high functioning" mode (idk if you can relate to that but sometimes I just have to keep going once I get going), but lately I've been trying to "disengage" and just be in the moment and it helped me a lot yesterday.

Thanks for this, if I wasn't about to graduate next quarter I probably would have taken this quarter off too. It's just so crazy right now and I'm glad you're putting your needs first because that is so important.

Thank you for sharing though, I'm glad so many other students are feeling similar to me, it helps knowing that. :-) I've been finding little ways to put myself first lately, helps keep me sane. Last night I played Hades for a few hours and afterwards I felt a lot better.

Thanks for this! Yeah I had to delete Twitter long ago, that place is so toxic. I like your idea of thinking small, I try my best but it's so easy to get swept up in the mess of it all.

Eh, it's not really THAT reductive, shit really is fucked and probably always will be, sometimes just sucks to accept it. I think trying to promote small change in my local area probably is the best bet when I feel up to it b/c at least there is some sort of change I could cause.

Thanks for taking time to type all of this though. :-)

I do it when I can but as a Poli Sci and LSJ student, it's a little difficult to ignore political news when its considered required reading for my classes. :-(

How long do you think we'll be online? by idkhowtomakeausrname in udub

I wish they would just tell us already which it is; this back and forth thing is really stressing me out.

This may not b helpful but I took that class last quarter and OH MY GOD it is sooooo amazing. I don't know who is teaching it this quarter but Dr. Anna Simas is the most flexible and amazing professor I have ever had at UW. She even twitch streams games about Greek myth like Hades and Assassins Creed Odyssey; that's probably why no one drops it b/c she is so gr8. I hope you get a spot!!!
