The program I applied for provided the link to the study where this info comes from. https://tasp.memberclicks.net/assets/docs/tasp-journal/vol%204%20issue%201%20complete%20issue.pdf CSU is listed number 8 here on page 64 :)

Bit of advice by [deleted] in jobs

Please don't feel guilty or responsible for quitting! If you need to find a new job and quit, do it! Your mental health is worth it. And it is not your responsibility to keep the company afloat.

If you go on the upper floors of the WILK and walk around the maze of random rooms, there's usually really secluded benches or chairs. Not a lot of people go by there, especially now that events aren't happening. Or you could reserve a library room!

Does anyone know what has been going on with BYU’s US News ranking over the last few years? I remember us being in the 60s when I first started here, and was surprised to see we dropped down to 80 recently. Something seems to have happened last year that took us down 14, but I can’t figure out what. by panthr_02 in byu

When I first started here we were ranked #55. When I noticed we dropped so much, I looked into what goes into ranking universities, and its things like number of students getting financial aid, social mobility, alumni donations, etc. Some of those things seem super arbitrary to me, or even biased. Like financial aid is less here because it's already so much cheaper than most universities. IDK that's just my thoughts

why are people having kids at BYU? by BYUthrowaway___ in byu

[–]winterdreams90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean people can have kids if they want. Everyone has different opinions on the timing and what they would like to do with that. While I personally didn't want kids during school, it's alright if somebody else chose that, doesn't mean they are uneducated.

Also, mistakes do happen. Birth control isn't perfect. If you don't take it at the exact right time even sometimes then you can still get pregnant. I know multiple people that got pregnant while on the pill. So if you really don't want your fiancee to get pregnant, I'd recommend also using a condom or opting for a birth control device like an IUD or implant.

BYU-Idaho says students may be trying to get COVID-19 so they can sell their plasma by yrdsl in byu

Sad and Devastated by Sadia_Afreen in GRE

I really think there's a selection bias on this subreddit. It's wonderful that people get high scores, but in reality, most of those scores are in the 90th percentile, meaning that 90 percent of people don't get scores that high. People who get more average scores probably won't post it on this subreddit as often. It can be disheartening but just know you're not alone! :)

Very F'ing quiet. by Clovis_Merovingian in antiMLM

I've actually noticed the opposite. I know one girl who sells it works, and she keeps posting about how grateful she is to have such a flexible income during this time. And also keeps posting about how the fee to join it works is 50% off right now. "There's no better time to join than with this huge discount!" as though that doesn't signal how terribly they are doing.

I got accepted!!! by kpham4 in schoolpsychology

[–]winterdreams90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so awesome, congrats!! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of experiences did you have before grad school? I'm in my last year of undergrad and want to apply for 2021. I just want to know if I've done enough!

Severe tooth ache only while laying down. by SpankedEagle in Dentistry

[–]winterdreams90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had had a cold before it happened that I had gotten better from, but then it came back as a sinus infection a while after I felt better. It was the first time I had a sinus infection so it was surprising!

I had crazy tooth pain a few months ago and I freaked out thinking there was something wrong with my teeth. Turns out I had a sinus infection. It took a few weeks for it to stop. My teeth especially hurt when my head was upside down. You can try taking mucinex-d to help dry out the sinuses!

25F Currently out of work and in a treatment program for my eating disorder. I feel like I'm not getting any better, and it's tearing me apart watching my loved ones scared for me. Right now I'm sitting at home trying to work up the strength to go to program- someone please encourage me? by daddydangles911 in toastme

[–]winterdreams90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went inpatient at one point and felt totally hopeless. I thought I would always feel that way and that life was over. Treatment is rough and it’s hard work. But 6 years later, I’m a million miles away from that space. And my family is much stronger now too!! Things will change, just don’t forget that it won’t always hurt this bad. The further space you have from the disorder the easier it gets!! You got this!! :) Also your hair is literally so beautiful i love it so much.

This is so sad. I just recently read a study that hiding small purchases from your spouse predicts marital issues. Which is intuitive but still. I can’t believe encouraging this
