Great job, Bec.

Hey, congrats!!

Wow that's amazing!!!
Have you looked into scholarships?

Oop, I forgot to respond to this.
No, I haven't looked into scholarships yet. My parents keep saying they "don't have many scholarships for grad school" which is hella discouraging, although probably wrong. I'm thoroughly spooked. Also not sure where I want to go, but like I said, I'm not trying to get in anywhere super prestigious, so it shouldn't be as bad for both admissions and tuition. Looking around Georgia for a school(God I hate Georgia, but that in state tuition…..). Also big worried about getting separated from the fiance. Ldrs are not my jam. We'd make it work but it still sucks.
Though I figure if I have to go into debt, I'll either pay it off eventually, or one day I'll die and so will the debt. I'm not accruing much debt from undergrad though, so that's good.

Also can Greek life stfu???? I'm about to take an exam that's due at midnight and they're on the quad partying. My room overlooks said quad.

I have an aunt that lives in Georgia but it is a nice place

It's the gross weather, plus it being such a red state. Though as far as political climate, I've always lived in bluer cities so it's not as bad

Aight, I'm about to throw hands they're doing karaoke in front of the res halls at 10 pm on a weeknight

Did you kill them, Bec?

If only-
I don't think I could take on several houses worth of sorority girls and frat boys

Fire can

What bothers me is that campus life approved of the event happening on a weeknight and late into the night at that.
So no amount of noise complaint would really help (even though they were totally loud into quiet hours, which is after 10 pm)

Bug spray and a lighter are your best friends

I am experiencing ✨symptoms of COVID-19✨
I would go to the nurses office but we don't have one. I'm gunna ask a teacher for a pulse oximeter or something, I don't know. I really hope I don't have it because school is almost over and I don't want to spend the last days I have of seeing my friends in quarantine. Plus I'm immuno-compromised so I could be fucked but maybe not maybe I'm being anxious over nothing who knows guess we'll see~~

In related news, I didn't get sick almost at all last year because of the masks. Everyone kept their colds to themselves and I got to enjoy Christmas healthy for the first time in years.

uh yikes, stay safe!!

Well we just got a shooting threat and they aren't even canceling classes or being put on lockdown ✌

Love that. Stay safe, fam.

Will you be staying in your dorm/somewhere not in school?

I'm on campus, but I'm in my dorm. The threat was targeted, so I'm safe here. I'm just really upset they're not doing enough in terms of precautions like canceling classes. That said, I'm not going anyway.

because that shit is "normal"
So stupid.

Yeah. Yeah, it is. We're going to organize a student body protest if they don't agree to step it up.
Also we already got local news involved.

Good. When you say the threat* was targeted, is that at a person or a specific building on campus?

Just got threatened with some scissors for saying trans women are women too

im a trans male who is this person i kill

Good. When you say the threat* was targeted, is that at a person or a specific building on campus?

A person/department. I believe it was an athletic staff member, but the campus police are keeping us in the dark. They didn't even tell the general student body what kind of threat it was, they just said "threatening email."
But more generally, it's targeted at athletics/football.

Sgskdlcl now we're clowning on campus police and making memes, because what the fuck else are we supposed to do in times like these?

i spent so long studying for this math quiz and i ended up failing :/
my dad said if i fail he's gonna take everything away idk what to do

Hhhh parents that take away phones and shit when their kids fail get me heated.
Take away a gaming system? Yeah, fine, I guess. Other tech, especially if used for communication or schoolwork is bs.
And especially because you studied and tried, it sucks even more. Is there any negotiation you can make? Like agree to go to tutorials or something? Because clearly you tried, and you shouldn't be berated for that.
I was an (almost) straight A student in high school. And you bet I failed the fuck out of quizzes sometimes. It happens to everyone, and grades aren't really indicative of "good" or "bad" behavior.

Also I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm pretty open to helping with math- or at last attempting to.

the thing is i already had tutoring before the quiz
he took away my phone and ipad so i cant draw and stuff
ghdkjfgsd i hate math
