A controversial start to the year for Lincoln University President Dr. John Moseley and the Board of Curators after the University’s Vice President of Student Affairs, Dr. Antoinette Bonnie Candia-Bailey, took her own life on January 8. Bailey’s passing has sparked outrage from LU alumni across the country who are now...
I felt this was more common in elementary and middle school, but since high school and well I to college I barely every find myself writing the date on papers. But yeah, I hated reworking the muscle memory for the first couple weeks of the year.
The more I see reports like this the more, hopeless I feel. Sometimes, I get to a point where I’m not even depressed but deeply numb by the catastrophe that is happening. Mass insanity we see, mass insanity.
I hate to be pessimistic but I feel more and more that we aren’t going to deal with climate in a meaningful way. I feel the governments of the world are taking a approach of benign neglect.
I’m in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I’m looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don’t really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it’s a BA in community development, so kinda like urban...
I decided to make my own to mostly avoid classes in each of the majors I wasn’t interested in tbh. I wanted to go into some type of urban/housing career, but after interning in a planning department for my city, I realize how limiting this career really is. I have been interested in community development since high-school.
I was actually a Sustainability major but switched to Social Services then made my own, because I wanted to focus on stuff I was interested in. But yeah, thinking about it I feel it just depends on how I market it. And I was considering grad school and might get a MSW or MPA.
Thanks for the salesforce tip! I saw a listing on LinkedIn for a Community Development Associate for ICF or something and applied anyway despite having a couple more months till I graduate. I have been looking at consultancy firms and engineering services firms as well. I was kinda stuck on working in local government but I have learnt there’s actually alot of options to try for.
That’s fair, I have done jobs and internships and I have learnt there’s just things I don’t like about but I tough it out. I wouldn’t frame it like that in a job interview tho! I would say it was about to best use my time in college studying and developing a topic area I was passionate in! I go to a small liberal arts college with alot of different topic areas but not a lot of depth, and didn’t want to transfer due to financial reasons so this was good compromise.
Yeah student debt is no joke. I was fortunate enough to be in a position where I could commute and had enough student aid and scholarship to go debt free first 2 years and use savings from working part time to pay next 2 years off in (less than 6k each year). But I wish more companies would invest in proper training than push that on students and college to do (poorly imo).
I hear that alot! I feel like for people who are interested in more macro works a MSW has kinda been pigeon holed in micro work sadly. Like I care about social economic policy mostly. I think a MSW is valuable but a MPA might be more so for what I want to do.
I noticed my consumption has decased quite a bit. I would visit regularly to watch content from few channels. I would probably still visit every so often to watch the new videos. But the experience has become more deliberate and conscious. I go to YouTube because I want to go and watch something specific. Mindlessly browsing and...
My recommendations are broken. It just repeates what I’d been watching and never nothing new. I don’t know why my algorithm is broken. I have gotten to the point of watching more movies and tv shows at this point.
I’m going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that’s part of my problem....
This is really great advice. Like everyone, I have gone through rough times before, I just need to chalk up this time as just another experience and memory and leave it as that. I dunno, I just feeling really down about it for some reason today. I’m going just try to build better memories going forward.
Yeah, part of me is really happy to have this time of my life behind me. I know that life post college has it own struggles, I’ll deal with those when I get there. But I’m happy to almost be done with my current ones.
I don’t think so. There might be the possibility but pretty sure, I’m not. I always struggled with being venerable with ppl and making connections with ppl, so I’m not sure if that’s a sign of autism but I kinda feel neurotypical. Might just have a strong case of avoidant personality disorder tho.
Man thanks for the reminder, What influnced my choices was cost and bachelor’s doesn’t have as much strength in the job market it once has. If a more free and less stressful comes at a cost a social life early one so be it. Older me will hopefully appreciate the foresight. I need to put more work in cultivating a more full social life.
