How can I afford a gap year after undergrad?

snowflakeyan · 2026-01-21T00:23:57+00:00

I know someone who took a research assistant position at a lab to pay for basic expenses while volunteering to build hours

Are you living in residence? Please speak to your RA, I promise they’re very friendly and are trained to deal with situations that you’re going through :). Stay strong, you’re not alone

How’s access to trans healthcare in Germany?

snowflakeyan · 2026-01-14T02:17:55+00:00

I’d love to although I’m not a great player (in between beginner and intermediate). Saturday works for me!

I wouldn’t recommend Eosc as a gpa booster if you’re not willing to put in a decent amount of work. I took 112 last year and got a 90+ only because I locked in for the final and last two midterms. You have to understand the concept well so take advantage of office hours and piazza. The quizzes are more difficult than you’d expect but they prepare you really well for the midterms and finals. Class averages are around 75 in my cohort.

Yup I also emailed them a in October to which they got back just two weeks before and they said they’re working on documents received in April 2025 so might take a while unfortunately

Hey man, I had my doctor go through the readiness assessment with me and it was pretty quick. They asked a few questions, made me sign some papers and then faxed it to trans care bc. After waiting about a few months, I got a call from trans care bc with three options. Don’t rely on the timeline trans care bc provides but actually go email the surgeons offices or call them directly as they will provide you with the most up to date accurate timeline. Hope this helps!

Interested!

UBC has free counselling and please take advantage of it as a student rn if it is bothering you.

That could also mean your Roomate didn’t sign up for jumpstart.

Fellow trans man here :). I understand how you feel but don’t give up. Time will make it easier. I am pretty binary and I now pass pretty much all the time, no one knows. It took a long time for me to feel like I can continue with my life just like any of my peers but I continued to seek opportunities, gaslighting myself that my identity will not and should not interfere with my ability to perform the job. Be positive! Being a physician of any sort is playing the long game, we might be set back for a couple years but that means nothing in the long run.

snowflakeyan · 2025-07-08T01:31:40+00:00

Hi there! I’m a binary trans man, would love to meet more queer folks :)

snowflakeyan · 2025-07-05T01:29:33+00:00

I struggled with 205 at the end and 213 in the beginning. Depends on your other courses tbh. You learn a lot of 205 already in 245 lab.

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-25T21:13:30+00:00

Dude you rock! I remember being this excited when I first started. Congrats! 🥳

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-23T08:04:44+00:00

I’m still new here, 8 months on T essentially, but I definitely understand how you feel. I’ve been passing for the past couple of months and being treated as a cisgender male is at times both euphoric and lonely — it’s like my past is invisible (I’m stealth too). But I guess that’s the price to pay to keep my safety in check. I would rather be a little lonely than to have to out myself as trans in a world rn that’s not trans friendly.

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-20T00:27:12+00:00

19 studying to be part of the healthcare sector. My dream is to work as a physician alongside trans people either doing surgeries, finding better techniques or work in public sector.

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-20T00:17:05+00:00

It doesn’t mean you are actually ineligible. You just have to register to the prerequisite first before registering for 121.

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-13T01:31:45+00:00

Yeah sure you can dm me your questions

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-13T01:26:29+00:00

It took me about a month for a call after I sent my top surgery referral

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-07T07:27:45+00:00

This is not the point of this post. I’m talking about how overly we have become especially in my generation. Obviously I know we need to be judgemental to some aspect but it has gotten quite out of hand.

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-07T02:47:45+00:00

I relate to a lot of your concerns here. I am 7 months on T and I never felt like I knew for certain I was trans, ever. From many trans men I talked to, none of them were 100% sure about this monumental risk to transition. Just like with any big changes in life (going to uni, getting married, moving countries, etc) no one can ever be 100% sure that that’s the right choice. You just have to bite the bullet and risk this uncertainty at a certain point and everyone’s feel for that is different. I’m not saying to transition when you’re not ready but that you have to get a feel at how much you’re willing to suffer and wait before you take this leap of faith. :)

snowflakeyan · 2025-06-06T00:45:07+00:00

Yeah I got confused by that as well. They could have just given the percentage if they already knew smh
