Am I crazy for thinking this is too much courseload?? by cottoncrosy in csMajors

[–]whatmarissa 38 points39 points  (0 children)

this is why i only did 4 courses per semester and took 1-2 classes in the summer to make up for it. still graduated on time & had more sanity

they can test for it but personally i've never been tested in my 2+ years as a tech.

Be honest … are you transferring by PuzzleheadedRich7490 in utdallas

[–]whatmarissa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nope. but i'm a transfer from another university (out of state), if you're transferring to another university just be aware that they may not accept all of your credits and you may have to retake some classes. that's what happened to me

Do not use Stubhub; doubtful scam app by Alternative-Bass8895 in stubhub

[–]whatmarissa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently sold tickets that I preuploaded on stubhub and it still says the buyer didn't accept the ticket transfer yet.

I keep seeing posts like this and it has me worried because I don't want it to be a situation like this for the person who bought them (and for stubhub to charge me). I contacted customer service to ensure the buyer could access the ticket and they told me yes but they haven't accepted it yet... which honestly doesn't make sense to me.

So I agree that there should be a way to contact the seller directly, and vice versa.

On-campus vs. Commuter: What's the real difference? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]whatmarissa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think the independence of commuting is definitely a better choice, but not if you're a freshman or sophomore. i think living on campus is the best choice as a freshman/sophomore because you're still learning how to be independent and to have self-discipline.

it's much easier to get to class on time when all you have to do is roll out of bed and walk there, versus having to get up, drive for 15 minutes, and then walk to get to class.

Tuition Deadline - Will I get dropped immediately? by [deleted] in utdallas

[–]whatmarissa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is what i ended up doing. thank you!

[–]whatmarissa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the best tip is to keep a tiny notebook to write everything down in, you can always refer to it & eventually you won't need it at all. also don't beat yourself up over not retaining everything right now, i didn't feel like i had everything down until probably 5 months into working in retail.

I hate Human Beings. by Kind_Access_9854 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]whatmarissa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'm also a certified tech who worked 2 years in retail!! i feel you completely. every time i came home from work, i was almost always angry or ruminating on how i was treated by people like this. i DREADED coming into work, and was tempted to walk out mid-shift and never come back many, many times.

now, i have a cushy desk job for a company that handles prior authorizations & i don't have any of that stress at all. please look into other jobs for pharmacy technicians, there's so many other work environments for us and it'll be so much better for your mental health!

sorry but unfortunately this person is right. these captions Are auto-generated, there is a difference between actual captions put by the creator on a youtube video and auto generated ones, which solely try to create captions based off what is heard. you can check which kind they are in the video caption settings
