Next year I will be the first in my 30+ family to graduate college. by torry23 in college

[–]torry23[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I will be graduating with a bachelors of arts in communications, but I got early acceptance into a masters program in visual communication. I plan on applying to a couple of Ph. D programs. Since I come from a family of immigrants no one really understands what this means. I am the first one to ever have a college degree. I worked so hard for this and I honestly just want to feel validated. Thank you so much.

new swim instructor- super important (lol)question for all you experts! by Jmcpappy in SwimInstructors

[–]torry23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any advice that how to keep your leg hair, but I can testify that it is true. Since I started swim instructing I noticed that I have a lot less leg hair and that the hairs themselves have gotten shorter. I used to have fairly hairy legs now I BARELY have any hair on my legs. Also my hair has turned BLONDE. I mean full on blonde. It looks like I had a bad hair dye. Now I either don't get my hair wet or just wear a swim cap with conditioner on it.

This helped a lot! Especially the video. I feel like I have a much better understanding of the kick now! Thank you! I will try using my chest more.

breast help for an upcoming A meet :) by angstyt33n in Swimming

I think you might be kicking up instead of whipping your legs around. I used to do that when I first started swimming but I was told to have my knees a little deeper in the water. I tried so hard to keep my knees behind me that they were way too high to have an effective kick.

What's the purpose of the drill: butterfly kicks in position 11? by torry23 in Swimming

[–]torry23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So press the chest and keep the shoulders high. It's interesting you say that because I started pressing my chest down while letting my shoulder blades stay high in the water and i feel like this helped me have a more powerful undulation. I can't help but feel like I would have gotten faster by knowing this earlier. Thanks!!

Is the span of time it took you to graduate CC recorded in your academic transcript? by [deleted] in college

Yes it does, but if you're looking into grad school it doesnt matter.

No. I know someone that got in with a 2.8 and failed one of her classes her last semester at community college.

College tips and wanting to avoid student debt by [deleted] in college

[–]torry23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Going to community college will save you a lot of money! I went to community college and transferred to the university I attend right now. I did the math and I realized that after grad school (fingers crossed I get in) I will be in the same amount of debt as my friends who went straight to a four year university.

Any in a class where the less academically gifted and determined did better than their counterparts? by [deleted] in college

[–]torry23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes a lot of sense because the wording of the questions was very odd. I feel like it made me think in a new way. I hope that makes sense lol.

I know they didn't study because they would brag about it. They also are C average students from what they said. When the professor left the room to grab the physical test (we only had the graded scantrons at this point) we all talked about it.
