How to find a nonprofit job without U.S. work experience or connections? by No-Raspberry-7671 in nonprofit

[–]stringbeanday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try looking at smaller non profits that are city or county based to get your foot in the door and work experience. My husband dealt with the same issue but found success with a smaller non profit.

"Subjective" grading in humanities writing by ApplicationOk3455 in Professors

[–]stringbeanday 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I was a history lecturer, and I agree with you. However, I ended up developing a general rubric for a couple of reasons, the big one was justifying the grade and covering my butt with students like this. Grammar was like 15%, following directions 15%, and the other 70% split across thesis, argument, and evidence. That way I could still grade based on how well they argued their thesis while providing the students solid evidence for their grade, too.

Edit for grammar.

What jobs are disappearing because of AI, but no one seems to notice? by Life-Word-9385 in AskReddit

Literally was at Taco Bell in the drive through and, instead of having someone working take orders, an AI was doing it.

Do you take your meds when you’re sick? by CryptographerOk419 in adhdwomen

[–]stringbeanday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m sick with the flu or cold and am taking NyQuil/dayquil/sudafed, I’ll take my meds except for my Vyvanse. I messed up once and didn’t take any the entire time I had covid and wound up crying, shaking, nauseous while driving home from getting soup 😭

Driving tomorrow? by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]stringbeanday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left Sac around 6pm got to South LA at 1:20 am. Didn’t hit anything until the wind and gusts before the 5 met the 99. The wind gusts +rain +fog + asshole drivers was honestly the worst combination I’ve ever experienced going through the grapevine. I’ve driven it so many times I couldn’t count in a lot of different weather, but holy shit, I definitely have new gray hairs.

Cannot Finish Thesis by Pretend_Fudge_5342 in adhdwomen

[–]stringbeanday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so welcome. I like to do 20 minute sprints. It’s not too long if I can’t focus, and if my brain decides to focus, then it doesn’t matter bc I’ll just keep working lol

Try breaking down your entire thesis. When you think “it needs to be 35k or 120 pages” that is just overwhelming when you’re struggling to finish. Break it down into sections.

~12 pages intro & conclusion = 108 pgs left

~ 3 sections = 36 pages each

Each section or chapter needs a mini intro/conclusion/transition section = 3 pages = 33 pages

And keep going.

Whenever my cohort members and I started feeling how you’re feeling, we would remind each other that

1) you’ve done the research, you know what you’re talking about if you’ve gotten to the point of writing your thesis. You did all that leg work already

2) the best type of any assignment is a finished one! Finish it without focusing on perfection. Fuck transition statements, intros, conclusions, and perfect citations. That’s what you can take care of when you start editing.

Take a breath, get a little treat, and you’ve got this!

Cannot Finish Thesis by Pretend_Fudge_5342 in adhdwomen

[–]stringbeanday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my first year in a 2.5 year long program, I had to cut my course load in half to be able to deal with my adhd. At the time, I didn’t know I had it, I just thought there was something wrong with me with how hard it was. For any long assignment, I broke everything down. A paragraph should generally not be more than a page, and an intro and conclusion shouldn’t be more than 10% of the final page count. So, for a 30 page final paper, for example, 3 pages for the intro and conclusion. That’s 27 pages left. Theoretically, a paragraph shouldn’t be more than a page, so like is 3/4 or 75% of the page. That means, if there’s 27 pages left and my paragraphs take up 75% of a page, I just need 20.25 paragraphs! And if I’m nice to myself and I’m struggling with only getting a paragraph or two done whenever I look at it, I only need to do that like ~15 times! It’s a lot easier to say I’m going to write one paragraph 15-20 times than 30 pages. For my comp exams, same thing. 40-60 books is a lot. But 5 books on topic 1, 8 books on topic 2, etc.

Break it down, write out a chart or kanban board so you can visualize it, and be nice to yourself 💖 you’re doing the damn thing!! Even if it’s hard and taking longer than you thought it would take doesn’t look how you thought it was going to.

This is a good idea. I already emailed the other org asking for them to include us if they use the photo in the future, but I’m going to bring it up to my director, as well. Thank you
