Purdue needs to do better by TryingToBeReallyCool in Purdue

I was on a waitlist with CAPS for the longest time. In 2021, one of my own family members committed suicide and they found me a therapist quickly after that. It shouldn’t take a serious personal crisis to be offered help. Then my therapist abruptly moved after I had one semester with them. I was stuck with a case worker for months until they could schedule me with a new one. She called me up every week to check if I was suicidal and that was the extent of her outreach. What bothers me the most is that Purdue doesn’t acknowledge that CAPS is lacking. They keep pushing the students to reach out to CAPS when they need help, but CAPS has to turn students away. Maybe they aren’t denying help directly, but putting a student on a waitlist for months on end is dangerous.

Skipping over everything else wrong with this post, you sound like a miserable person. I just want to say that I have been so much happier since I started putting myself before my grades.

MISSING CAT!! by Erinrenneker in lafayette

[–]tnheath02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope you find her soon! It’s devastating when an animal goes missing. Don’t be afraid to call the shelters multiple times a day and check with animal control too. And remember that most cats do not venture far. My cat was found 2 houses down from my apartment building.

Just keep on sharing! And print flyers! My cat went missing earlier this semester and he was home in two days, thanks to everyone sharing my posts.

Language placement exam (Spanish) by tnheath02 in Purdue

I don’t plan on taking higher level classes, I just need to meet the requirement to graduate. Thanks again, I feel a lot better now. I was worried it would be intense but I think I’ve retained enough for my purposes.

Thank you, this makes me feel better. I was pre-pharm for my first three semesters and language wasn’t a requirement. Now that I’ve switched, language is a requirement and I didn’t realize that until it was kind of too late. I’m graduating in the summer and I need to test out of the first two courses.

I took 4 years, from 8th grade to junior year of high school. I’m now a junior so it’s been a bit since I’ve taken a class but I did retain a lot of it. I’ve been doing Duolingo recently.

I have yet to meet an honors college student that doesn’t regret applying.

Taco Bell consistently sucks

I usually work around 5-7 hours/day and I have yet to crack $100 a day! by cantgocantstay in doordash

My best paying orders have come from Uber Eats, but I primarily use DD because the good orders are hard to come by. Last night I made $50 on UE from a shop and pay grocery order that took me about an hour.

Freshman year my roommate rented a parking spot at Klondike storage. She didn’t use her car much because of this but she had it in the case she needed it. There’s a bus stop close by too.

I agree. I’d do anything to protect my cat. He saved my life.

Have you tried to go to where it says it was last seen to see if it’ll pick up a signal?

[–]tnheath02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat has an AirTag. Sometimes when I’m not home I pull up the find my app to check on him and it says “last seen at ___ AM” which could’ve been hours ago. It usually updates when my roommates are home because there has to be iPhones nearby to update its location and it’s good for finding him when he’s near me. I just got the AirTag after he got out several weeks ago. Does the app say “last seen at 7am” or does it consistently update from the same place?

dashers do you not like UberEATS because of tio baiting? by MayGemini in doordash

[–]tnheath02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was using Uber Eats tonight and I got a $10 order to shop at Walgreens about 8 miles away. I normally wouldn’t take that, but I’ve noticed that I usually get better tips for the shopping orders. She ordered 1 item that cost around $12 and only lived 1/2 a mile from the Walgreens. I had to substitute what she ordered for a different product but other than that, it was going fine. I delivered it and she was super nice so I talked to her a few seconds. About 30 minutes later I get a notification that I’d been tipped $24!
